Happy Birthday To Me!

July 13, 2010 | Uncategorized

So today I turn a quarter of a century old just before 1:00 pm. I actually feel old this year. Not sure why. Maybe because 25 seems like a momentous birthday. Halfway through the 20’s. Halfway to 30 from the 20’s. Closer to 50. Yikes!
Ok  enough with being depressing. I woke up this morning to a decorated living room. Here is a taste:

Then Bobby and I went on a quick 3 mile run. I wasn’t really feeling it so we walked some. I think we are going to go to lunch and then see Toy Story 3!! Then tonight my small group Bible study is taking me to dinner. I can’t wait!

Also…still working on my patience and waiting…Hoping some of it will be resolved today. I hate feeling anxious, and I especially shouldn’t have to feel this way on my birthday!

Hope everyone has a great day, July 13th IS a great day after all!

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do on your birthday? Any traditions?

    Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day! Sorry about the run.

    I honestly haven’t done anything special on my bday in a decade or so. I even hated having bday parties when I was a kid. I’m weird. I just enjoy eating copious amounts of cake 😉

    Hi there! What a great day to come across your blog for the first time! Happy Birthday! I adore the pink–and–are those palmetto trees in your banner? I’m originally from SC and that’s the state tree (along with the mosquito as the state bird) 🙂 Love your previous post about working out on vacation, too. I’ll definitely be reading more on your blog!

    Enjoy your b-day and Toy Story 3 (it’s so funny and sentimental)!

    Happy Birthday!! My 25th birthday was my “golden” birthday as I was born on Jan. 25…so 25 …25th…I had a huge party and it was great! Pig pickin’ and the works! I have to say that I wish I was 25 still some days!! (I think I’m kinda vain…so getting old is not my favorite thing!) 🙂 But I’m getting used to it…I’ll be 29 for the like 4th time next birthday! 🙂

    I hope you have a great birthday!

Lately I’ve been using personalized skincare through Mochi Health and it’s been so much easier having products targeted to what my skin actually needs instead of just guessing every time I break out.

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly “off” feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

We’re not leaving Tennessee, just making a local move that puts us closer to my daughter’s school, closer to our day-to-day life, and honestly closer to the version of life I’ve been hoping for since we moved here. (Aka not so much time in the car!) 

Still Knoxville. New chapter. Lots of boxes. Please pray. 🏡📦

Between dogs, snacks that never make it to a plate, and whatever is happening in my entryway on a daily basis… I needed something that could actually keep up in one go. This one’s been doing the heavy lifting so I’m not doing 12 different cleanups for the same mess. 

Life doesn’t happen in neat, single-surface moments. From pet hair to crumbs to tracked-in grass, real homes have layered messes. The BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush™ is designed to handle it all in one pass without switching tools or going over the same spot twice. 

Promotion: List Price $359.99, on sale for $259.99 ($100 off) from 4/5–5/30. Limited time only, don’t miss it. Link in bio to shop while the deal lasts 👀
