Thanks to all those who hung with us...we have good friends! I love that all of our friends can hang together!

Shout out to the baby girl!

Here are some long overdue pictures of the baby girl! Some are from her birthday and some are from her blessing day last Sunday.

Shout out

Thanks to all of those who made my birthday awesome...I'll post pictures soon. Holla!!

I'm old...

yep, I just turned 30 years old 1 hour and 22 minutes ago...I'm at work saving lives tonight (ha!). PD called to wish me Happy Birthday and all of that stuff ;) right at midnight and I've gotten plenty of birthday wishes. Let the fun begin!!

I have been remiss...

in my blogging and my brother does not hesitate to tell me so. I apologize, time got away from me and I haven't jumped into the 21st century and gotten internet at home yet.

Anyway, let's see...in November I bought the car I have ALWAYS wanted...a Yukon Denali. It seats 7 (so it holds my posse comfortably...no one is touching anyone else), has a DVD player, leather, yada, yada...not bragging at all, I have just always wanted this car and thanks to dad's negotiation skills, I got a fantastic deal. We also had Thanksgiving and I spent it with PD, the kids and his family while girlfriend was with her dad's family.

In December, I took the girls to see "The Nutcracker" performed by Columbus BalletMet. I loved it and in spite of it being a little long, the girls enjoyed it as well. Christmas was good...the kids all loved what Santa brought and just couldn't believe he knew what they wanted! ;) We spent New Year's Eve with some friends and their kids at our friends' and it was a good time.

Now, we're over halfway through January and my first little niece is due any day now and if she doesn't come before Thursday morning at 9 am, her mama is going to be induced. Girlfriend is beyond excited! I can't wait...I've never had my "own" niece or nephew.

I would appreciate if any of you who regularly (or not so regularly because of my poor blogging skills) visit would leave your blog address as I have deleted many of them.

Hope you all are well!!

Actual Birthday

Taken at 9:01 pm...the exact moment she was born (although that was on Cali time). And her father and his wife were there to celebrate that moment, so that was nice. She and I celebrating her birthday again Tuesday night.

Girlfriend's birthday was on a Tuesday this year and that was the day of the week she was born...brought back alot of memories. I just love this kid. Girlfriend wanted a buttload (that's for you Unc) of stuff but REALLY wanted a Sleeping Beauty Talking Head Styling Vanity which I found days before her birthday...talk about luck. I did take on of she and I...I told her that it was about 5 years ago that time when we had our first picture taken together...I'll spare you the pictures (5 years ago and now). I think I look more worn out but definitely happier now! ;)

Not too many strikes!!!

We had girlfriend's 5th birthday party at Rainbow Lanes Bowling a couple Saturdays ago, and it was a blast...some people said they hadn't bowled in 30-40 years...too much fun.

Girlfriend and her "salty dog, best buddy" Dying to get those princesses in her hands and off the cake!

With one of my best friends (Sarah- nurse of the year) and her husband.

With my freakout friend from nursing school. :)

Amazing what a little flat-ironing and Aveda products can do for a girl! And yes, I let her use my Bobbi Brown skin care stuff, too...the girls at the Bobbi Brown counter LOVE this kid and everytime girlfriend, Sarah and I go they put blush, lip gloss and eyeshadow on her...doesn't hurt to have fun! :)

It was a fun time and she was EXHAUSTED by the time it was over!!! Thanks to everyone for coming and having a good time!
