Shoot Me 5 of 52

I know I have not blogged in a while and I apologize but I have been very, very busy.  I am working on VBS and plus I am participating in a Beth Moore Bible study on Wednesday nights and there is homework with it and I never get it all done but I do try to do some of it, so I have not had any time for blogging!!  

This past weekend I went to see one of my brothers who will be deploying next Thursday.  Please say a special prayer for him.  He is 26 and will leave behind a wife and 5 kids.  He wasn't sure if he would be able to come home before being deployed and so I just thank God for him getting to come in and me getting to visit with him before he leaves.  I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.  I am so looking forward to it.  The kids are participating in a Patriotic Program at church on Sunday night and then our Bible school starts Monday night, so it may be a while before I get to blog again.  Hopefully I can get back soon.

I am a little late getting this post on but it has been a busy, busy week!!  As I told you in my Music Monday post, me and my BFF were going out for my birthday dinner on Monday night and we did and we had a great time.  It is a tradition that we always go to Colton's for my birthday in May and her birthday in December and we eat together, visit and exchange gifts.  I always looks forward to this time together.  

I took this picture and I feel like I look like awful.  I am squinting my eyes, but oh well.  I had a great time.  

My favorite scent used to be, like 11 years ago, was Vanilla Lace from Victoria's Secret and they discontinued it a long time ago.  Well, my BFF Kim found it!!  Oh, I was so excited when I opened this gift.  Thanks Kim, you are the best!!

Also, a gift card to Penney's.  Yay!!  Thanks Kim for making my birthday so special.  You are the greatest!!  Love ya!!

Thanks to my dad, I have had gray hair for as long as I can remember.  It had been a while since I had gotten my hair colored and I was in desperate need of a new do!!  So last Saturday, I spent 3 hours at the beauty salon to be able to look like this:

My oldest daughter took this picture of my husband and I.  

I hope that everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!!  Be safe and enjoy being with your family.
