Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my Bestest Dearest Friend!

Today my BDF caught up with me in age. I will tell her she is old and she will tell me that I am still older (ooh a week)! :-)

Through the years, through the miles, she remains my BDF and today I want to wish her a VERY VERY HAPPY Birthday!

I love you P! Thanks for putting up with me all these years, even when we hung different political signs in our dorm room windows during the Presidential Election. ;-) A girl could not ask for a better friend, and I am so grateful that God intervened in his mysterious ways and got us together!

He Has Risen!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believes stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

John 3:16-18

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

John 28:5-7

Thank You!

Thank you to my dear friend Caffienated Cowgirl... though she is on blog hiatus, she did take the time to surprise me.

I just went to the mailbox and found a package with her return address on it... what did I find inside this package? A little early birthday treat...
Yogurette!

I have been trying to get CC on Facebook for sometime and jokingly told her that if she were on Facebook I could post how lucky I am to have her as a friend, but I can do that here too! :-)

Thank you for thinking of me my dear friend and it is going to take some great restraint not to eat them all at once! But now I must go hide them from Blunoz. :-)

Amazing - Honoring Veterans

My MIL just sent me this today...
A retired submarine veteran honors all veterans nightly with the lowering of the American Flag in his front yard.

Take a few minutes and see what one man is doing to bring Americans together!

They're Cooommmiinnngggg....

The British are coming... the British are coming... well, okay, no they aren't but it is almost Patriots' Day, a little known state holiday in Massachusetts (and apparently Maine and Wisconsin) and the day the Boston Marathon is run... but that is not the point of this post.

Who is coming you ask? MY IN-LAWS are coming! Yes, Blunoz's Dad and Step-Mom descend upon us next week for the boys' spring vacation! We haven't seen them since early September when we breezed into town for Uncle D's wedding and our drive across country. It was sure nice of the Navy to transfer Kevin at the perfect time for that!

So, we have been in discussions of what are we going to do while they are here. Currently on the list of things to see is The Pentagon, Monticello and Luray Caverns. I am sure we will also have to hit a Smithsonian or two and see the Cherry Blossoms. Of course some of this is contingent of Blunoz being able to take the leave he put in for. But we will have fun with or without him. But if anyone has some advice about some cool little known site to see in the Northern Virginia/DC/Charlottsville area, please let me know!

Yes, you hear right! We will have fun, I, Sagey, will have fun with my in-laws with our without my dear husband! :-) How great is that. I am also not stressed about cleaning or making a good impression. They know me, and they still love me (and I can be hard to love)! How many of you can say that about your in-laws? Oh sure, I will probably run around vacuuming and I will most certainly scrub and sterlize the bathrooms, but who cares that there are legos EVERYWHERE? Ahh, life is good!
