One More day till I turn 30...

Yeah!! Well it's just about here!! I Just really don't know how to react!! I walk in at work this morning and well let me just say it is raining the number 30 over my desk!! I've got a sign over my desk that declares I'm Over the Hill. I have a balloon with the number 30 on it. There are white and black streamer's hanging over my desk. The balloon's say Still Wild at 30!! I tell you what!! I do not feel old. There is so much that has happened in my life, and I don't know why I'm trying to feel different. It's just a number, a age, everyone will approach, this point in there life. So right now I'm just going with it, I'm turning 30!! I feel like I'm in one of those group session's saying...Hi, my name is Amy and I'm turning 30!!

Anyway one last memory I have, before I put my birthday memories to rest. Is when I turned eighteen. Where life as a Teenager ends and life as an adult begins. So Here is my last memory as a teenager.

I actually had a hard time figuring out what to do for my 18th party. I mean it was going to be hard to top my sweet 16 party. So I decided to go back to the park, and just have all my girlfriends around. Mom was able to help me on this party (No broken foot). We had another cook out, and my friends went crazy. We danced, we laughed, we talked, and we just hung out. It was sooo cool. As I think about it, It was one of the last parties, where everyone came together and just had fun. So here are some crazy pictures of me and my friends!!

There are a few pictures of me at church. My Grandmother made me a Birthday cake and our real good friend Mrs. Dorthy Johnson surprised me at church. I also got a suitcase for my birthday!! It was suppose to be for my graduation, but they gave it to me early. I had a Senior Trip to Florida and no suitcase. The whole 18th Birthday kinda gets me sad. I was the only grand daughter that my grandmother got to celebrate turning eighteen. I had my birthday in October and my grandmother died in April!! But she lived life full just like I'm planning on doing!!

There is nothing I would take back or do different on my Birthday's, because it was a chance to celebrate my life. No mater what the number on the cake is or was, or the amount of people that was around. I think everyone should celebrate their life. God created you and you should celebrate the miracle of your life. Soooo That's what I'm doing, because the old lady hasn't sung yet. So look Out World I'm Turning Thirty Tomorrow!!

Three More Day's Left...

I can't believe it is getting soooo close till I turn 30. I got spoil yesterday for my birthday! We had to take Carson to Memphis to the Dr. (He is fine, Right Kidney is still small but it is growing, plus he was very good to go through the testing they did. He told us that the potty training will just take time because he is not a normal little boy. So Carson got a clean bill of health. Thanks for Praying for Him, we appreciate your concern.)

Anyway while we where in Memphis, we went to my favorite place to eat Olive Garden. I love Italian Food, the only thing is we don't have one at home. So it's a special treat, to get to go. Plus we went to Garden Ridge, Love it, Love it. It's a craft store, and it's in warehouse!! I got to go down 10 rows of nothing but Christmas Ornaments!! It's sooo cool!!

I didn't scan any pictures of my last birthday memories, before I was an adult. I will make sure and do that tomorrow. Since I only have a couple of day's left. So that's about what happened yesterday. My mom ordered my Birthday Presents online and I'm very grateful for her. It's getting exciting since I will be spending my birthday with people I love. Our church is having a weenie roast and hayride. I love it, outside, cool weather, and having fun! What could a girl turning thirty ask for!

Four More Day's Left...

Today, we are going to Carson's Urologist Appointment! To make sure that his kidney's are working OK. Please keep him in your prayer's today!! I know in my heart that everything will be fine. So I'm blogging early today!!

This Post is a major event in my life!! I'm blogging about my sweet sixteen birthday!! It was a crazy event in my life. My life was busy with event's in band and choir!! That was my life back then and the people I mainly hung out at that time, where music people. I spent nearly everyday and every weekend with them. Friends that where like family to me!! So it was no surprising that my birthday party had alot of my friends. When I say alot, I counted about forty people showed up. It was sooo crazy. Plus during that time my mother fell and broke her foot, so I had to plan and had to have other adults to help out. Even my pastor and his wife where there. I was also dating a guy at this time, His name was Joel Hollis I meet him at a church function of my best friends! I dated him for a month or so. Then I broke up with him. But he was a couple of year's older.

Anyway, most sixteen year old's usually get a car. Well I didn't even have my license yet!! (How crazy was that) It wasn't till after I turned sixteen that I got my license!! So No CAR!! But I got to redo and decorate my bedroom. At the party we played games, and had a cook out. It was at a park, so there was a bunch of craziness going on. One of my older cousins, almost got thrown into the Lake. The party lasted till about midnight, and everybody started to leave. But it was fun, and to top it all off. There where no drinking and nothing wild. Just crazy southern fun.

Well told you, it was crazy!! Just another birthday!

When I was younger, I lived for Birthday's, I just don't no how to react to

them now that I'm getting older!!

Five more Day's Left....

WOO!! HOO!! It's five day's till I get Older!! I'm blogging about my Thirteen birthday today. Ok, Let's just remember I was a teenager!! LOL!! During this time, I was in seventh grade, I actually thought I new everything!! I had the bright idea of cutting my hair very short. During the summer before I started school, my cousin and I decided to put lemon juice in our hair. We set out in the sun at the lake. It turned my hair very blonde. It was awful looking. You be the judge of my hair style in the pictures. I was in 7th grade band at that time. So all I wanted to do was go to the Football game and hang out with my friends. It was fun, we came back and had cake and ice cream. So as I look upon these pictures, it's a common question!! What was I thinking. And I'll I got for my birthday where clothes!! It's been good looking back and viewing how thing's and styles have changed. About me and the people around me!! Plus it's embarrassing!!

Eight, Seven, Six, more day's left till I turn 30...

What a weekend!! It was soooo crazy, and not having the Internet at home had made my count off. So I'm combining three day's into one. I've showed you some of my most memorable pictures. I must say, it goes to show, people need camera's to capture the memories. Because without some of the pictures, I couldn't tell you who, what, when or where. My dad got a video camera when I was about ten years old. Some of the birthday's are on video, and It is so crazy when a group of young girls get together for a party. There is not telling what might happen. I'm just grateful that I was blessed to have those friends and blessed to have parents who let me invite friends over. It is getting very close till Saturday, and all that I'm praying for is that people don't claim that I'm old....
I'm blogging today on how wonderful my son is. This weekend he still had to get eye drops in his eye's from having pink eye, he is still having to do the breathing treatment's, and on top of everything he got his flu shot Saturday. By Saturday afternoon he was a very cranky baby!! He did not cry or whimper. In fact he got two suckers and two stickers. He was the only one of her patent's that had not cry yet. So he got spoilt by her. I guess for what all my son has went through, getting a flu shot is nothing to him. We go Wednesday to Memphis tn, to check on his kidney's. We will see how that day goes with him. Well got to get back to work...Just a quick post!!

Nine more day's left...

Just a quick post, because it's crazy here at work today. Carson got sent home from school today, because they think he has pink eye. Oh well, just counting down, the day's. It's Friday also, so I'm ready for the weekend!! Anyway, just watching the clock and the calender. Pray for our world, It's so scary now, and that's what everyone is thinking about. It's time to ban together and let God lead us in the right direction!! It's not about what we want, it's about what God will let us have and what he thinks we need! So I'm saying this right now, let us come together and pray for each. Time is ticking away.....

Ten more day's till I'm 30...

The day is getting closer!! And I'm getting excited!! It's a feeling I can't describe!! I'm finding out that it will be ok and just fine to turn thirty!! I'm just dreading getting out of my twenty's. Because when I was younger, twenty's just meant a young adult. Now I'm fixing to get out of that decade, and I'm wondering what's it going to be like in my thirty's!! What will change and not change in my life? What memories will have to blog in the future!!

But before I get into my thirty's there are still some birthday memories I just have to post.

When I was eight, nine and ten year's old the party's where just about the same. Family, Friends, and lot's of Presents!!! I had several friend's that I made during elementary and at church. You know friends came and they went, but my family where always at my party.

During those memories, I got several gift's from people. I was into Jewelry then, and my Grandma supplied with all kinds of cheap Jewelry. I got my panda bear ring during this time. I also got a heart pendent necklace. I got my very first Purple Jam Box, complete with my very first tape cassette. I believe my first cassette where the group the Monkey's!! My mom pick the tape out. I got my ear's pierced when I was eight year's old, so I got ear rings!!

There where so much I was blessed with!! Now I look back and I wonder, what did I have on, and what was up with my hair. But that was my style back then. And by this time I got my own room and my own space my own style. I thought I was in hog heaven. It truly was exciting to have your own room at my age. My friends that spent the night with me, didn't care at all to stay the night. Because we had wall's inside our house now. Wow, what some memories I have during that time of my life. I sometimes wish I could go back in time to a life that wasn't so complicated!!
