Undetermined


Wow, thanks to all who made my birthday special. Flo was great to invite some of the young ladies to hang out. Thanks Leah and Tammy and Ashlee for being present!! Anyway, I had to sadly work on my birthday, so I wore a ribbon stating it was my birthday(thanks mom and flo for finding one)

Not only was it my birthday but it was also my cousin Lilly's birthday and then China's was on the 19th. Faye's was on the 23rd. Davids was the 23rd, and another cousins was on the 23rd. And I used to think I was alone. This was the first year I remember my birthday being BEFORE Knoxville Campmeeting. Didn't realize how special it was being during campmeeting. Although it was nice to be with family too.

Anyway, back to the grindstone. Not been to aweful busy today, which it normally is packed. I'm sure it will be busy tomorrow. Anyway for all of you...

Who are going to Knoxville, be careful and have a great time in fellowship and service. I hope the whole week goes well. My mother and Flo are leaving on Wednesday (wish I was going:( ) oh well maybe next year. Anyway, have funnnn all of you.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TODAY IS MY 27TH BIRTHDAY

THANK YOU MOTHER FOR HAVING ME!!

Thank you for going through the morning sickness, and labor and all the things you had to put up with me through the years.

Thank you for your consistancy and example of what true salvation can do to your life. I would not be doing what I'm doing today if I had any other mother. I love you and appreciate you for all that you do.

I love you!!

BUSY BUSY AS A BEE

Wow, this has been a very busy day at the office. We had 4 people in the waiting room at one time. I suppose that could be signs of progress (we are a relatively new office). However I think it must be due to the LOVELY change in the weather. It was such a beautiful day and sunshine and a lovely breeze, it was very cheery today I must say.

Anyway, it has slowed down a little this afternoon. Looking forward to tonights service. Have lots to do to plan for the weekend. FRIDAY is my 27th birthday. I am more excited about this birthday than I have been since I turned 16. I have no clue as to why its even important, maybe I feel more mature, that its the one day I can act like a nut? That must be it. So I have to work on my B'day (unreliable people) so I am going to scout out a button or a crown or something to let all my patients know its my birthday. Maybe I will make a t-shirt or something. We will have to find out.

Anyway, here is to a good rest of the day..

First of Many (I hope)

Well I'm sure whoever you are, you know me so I will skip introductions and shove you into the depths of my day (on average).

Morning, tired, don't want to get out of bed(wouldn't be so bad if I'd make it in earlier). But alas, getting ready for my 30 minute trip I take 3 mornings a week to Decatur, where my main office is. 2 wonderful days of the week, i get 10 minutes extra sleep, I go to Hunstville (a satellite office). I don't think the lady I work with likes me too much right now. I'm a manager, and I seem to be giving her more things to do, so that I can get my things done. I hope she will get over it soon. I don't like working like that.

I sought salvation on Sunday, and I am happy to report that I feel amazingly better. Just knowing that you have the Lord to turn to whenever you have a problem is worth a million friends in the world. They don't want to see you happy anyway, as long as you are doing what they want to do they will stick around, but the minute you have an opinion or desire different from theirs they will ditch you and move to the next person. Thank God for the Saints that are always there to uplift and encourage you in time of need. It is good to be saved!
