Happy Birthday to my hubby

My husband, Michael, of almost 10 years is celebrating his 32nd birthday on Sunday. He is such a wonderful husband and father. Sometimes I take him for granted or don't show how him enough how much I'm in love with him but I honestly can't picture my life without him.

Tyler called the local radio station this morning to put his name on the birthday list and Tyler said he was 21. Oops! Yeah, he probably wishes he was 21 again.

We don't have a big party planned for him but I'm going to buy him an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, going to cook him a nice breakfast (which I hardly ever do) and a big dinner. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? I'm still trying to decide if I want to include a few other family members or let it just be special for the 4 of us.

I have no clue what kind of gift to get him. Men can be SO hard to buy for sometimes. I'm probably going to just ask him what he wants but if he doesn't have anything in mind, I think I'm going to buy him another Wii Guitar for Guitar Hero and the Aerosmith game. We bought Tyler Guitar Hero III for Christmas and they love it. They often talk about getting another guitar so they can play together. Tyler will probably think its HIS birthday too.

Wordless Wednesday

Me and my little brother Eric at his wedding in November. I love him very much.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my family and friends! I hope everyone enjoys their special family time. Give them all an extra hug this Christmas.

I hope you get what you asked for. I was very practical and asked for a freaking AWESOME vacuum cleaner. I'm tired of having to operate on my old one every time I use it. I hope I've been extra special and Santa will bring me an extra surprise. LOL Its always nice getting something you're not expecting.

Have a safe and blessed holiday!! MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM DIXIE!



With Love,

Songs of Inspiration

What better way to keep in the holiday spirit than listening to songs of worship? Lets always remember that JESUS is the reason for the season. We would be so lost without Him.

Here's a few songs that I really enjoy throughout the year(thanks for letting me steal your idea Toni). I hope they touch you as they touch me. God bless!

Wordless Wednesday

Friendship

Friendship! Think about that word for a minute. What does it mean to you? Are you a good friend? Are your friends true to you?

I'd say I only have a few true friends. Sure, I have tons of acquaintances but I could count on one hand my true friendships. Some may say that's sad but I'd take my few friends over two handfuls of bitter, back-stabbing women any day.

When I think about friendship, I think about the good times, the bad, the laughter, the tears, the secrets, the hugs and the honesty. I consider myself a good friend and I think my *true* friends would say the same thing.

If you've indeed gossiped about me, laughed at me behind my back, felt the need to choose one friend over another, then chances are I'm not your friend anyway and vice versa.

There's no greater feeling than being able to confide and lean on your friends. Friends are nice to have during the good times but they are especially important during the tough. If you can't turn to them during trying times, then what do you have? Who can you turn to?

Think about yourself and your friendships today. Do you need to be a better friend? Do you need to release the hold on someone you *think* is your friend but honestly you know they aren't?

Hug your friends today and tell them how much they mean to you.

Funny Friday

This is an oldie but a goodie.
