My birthday came over the weekend. It just doesn't seem right that I can be 34. I still think I'm 24. Jason and I went out to dinner...
... and then came home, put the kids in bed and had chocolate fondue with friends. Mmmmm.
On the morning of my birthday the kids showered me with sweet cards and a homemade t-shirt.
My least favorite gift was Carson throwing up all over his bed. Other than that - it was a great day. :)
I pray that this will be the best year of my life so far. Not filled with "happiness" and "good things" as much as being a year that I do not waste - a year spent for the glory of God - a year spent advancing the Big Kingdom of God not the little kingdom of self. I have spent too many years being "good" and going to church and all the while serving myself. May the Lord break me of this and help me to become a slave to righteousness. Lord, make me salt and light in this broken world. Help me love you more and be more like Christ every day!!
Is that Popeye and Olive Oyl?

Kristi, I have just spent some time skimming over your blog. (I just realized you had a blog after seeing one of your comments on Donna's blog)
ReplyDeleteWow...you're amazing! I love that you have a big, fun family! I grew up having "all the fun in the world" so I know it's true! Yay for you!!
Happy Birthday to YOU! Your pictures are adorable. You guys look like you're in college dating. If I didn't know better, I would have never guessed you're in your 30's and that you have a quiver full of children at home! You wear it well!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is on the plate for fondue? I recognize the strawberries and bananas, but the other plate looks a little sketchy to me.
ps - Blogaroozer is Awesome!
