Birthdays Are The Best

     The other day I turned 31 years old! Wow!!! :) I got lots of calls, texts, and facebook messages which is always fun! I have to say, I had a pretty legit birthday weekend. I went with a friend to see The Lion King which was amazing! The music, the actors, the costumes, all very creative! The actors were completely in character of the animal they were portraying. The giraffes were probably my favorite! The people were in the middle and there hands and feet were on stilt like legs. I seriously don't know how they walked! It was a fun night! My friend also gave me a baby name book, hahaha! Not because I'm having a baby but simple because I love all things name related :) She knows me well. The fun continued when I got back home. My parents came to visit me for the weekend. They brought my gift from my brother and sister-in-law. It was a set of really cool owl coasters handmade by women overseas saved from human trafficking and poverty. Their card also revealed my future niece's name!!! But, I won't say it here because I don't know if I have permission, lol. Our Saturday consisted of shopping and going out to eat at Chili's with my aunt and uncle. It was a fun time! Afterwards, my mom and I went back shopping for my birthday present, lol. She had the best idea...a new Bible! My Bible is very worn and starting to tear up. So, we scoured the Bibles at the bookstore and I finally found one I liked. It's an English Standard Version which I've never read before, but I like it and it is easy to understand. I also really wanted one with lots of references. I like to refer back to other verses in the Bible that relate to each other so this was a must have! I am so glad she thought of this for a gift! The next day, my friend brought me a present to church- butterfly earrings and a really pretty necklace/earring set. Her card was so very sweet! I'm thankful for her friendship. Last but not least, my friend from work gave me a present at work the next week. I had mentioned the other day how I really loved Ronaldo bracelets. I had no idea she would get me one for my birthday! \ I still can't believe she did that for me. I absolutely love it! It was very thoughtful and sweet of her and I am very appreciative! I'm very appreciative of all the gifts, cards, calls, texts, etc that I received on my birthday! It was a fun day! I am a very blessed lady!!!!!! :)

My dress is not black/blue or white/gold lol

I took this picture to capture the grandeur of the theatre and got seriously reprimanded because that background is copyright of Disney. So, all credit to those stick drawings belongs to Disney. Just look at how pretty the columns, chandeliers, and decorations are!

Sunday night, I got an unexpected gift for my birthday....severe stomach pain. I seriously came this close to going to the ER. I thought I was having an appendicitis or something. Thankfully, the pain subsided and didn't have to go. I went to the doctor the next day and found out what the culprit was. Thankfully, it's not anything serious like I thought it was! I thought I was going to die! I'm now on the road to recovery :)
