In honor of my birthday! :)

My 26th birthday was at the beginning of this month, so to go with that, I figured 26 ideas, fun facts, thoughts, things going on or whatever randomness I come up with would be an appropriate post! It might also help me make up a little for being so slack in October! So here goes.



#1) I put up my Christmas tree already! :) I know it's early but with good reason! Plus this will be the first time in a couple of years I've not been moving over the Christmas holiday and actually had a tree to put up!

#2) Flashforward is one of my favorite new shows. I think it gets better every week!

#3) Kindergarten basketball is quite possibly one of the cutest and funniest things I have ever watched!

#4) No one ever seems to follow the speed limit in the school zone - and they seem to get irritated with those of us who do! At least it won't be me with the speeding ticket!

#5) I'm interested in looking for a new home church so I'm currently taking suggestions on places I should visit. I want a church that is smaller in size - mega-churches just aren't for me!

#6) I love when the leaves change color.

#7) Plain cheesecake and funfetti cupcakes are my favorite desserts - I got both for my birthday!

#8) NCSU actually won our football game this weekend! FINALLY! Go Pack! :)

#9) I went to the fair 4 times - not as many as usual, but I still had a BLAST!

#10) I left my camera downtown Raleigh, sitting outside of Krispy Kreme one night last month - 4 hours later, at 3am, when I drove back down there to pick it up, it was still sitting outside! AMAZING! :)

#11) Upward games are more than half over - time sure does fly!

#12) Chris Hughes lied and said he couldn't come home for my birthday BUT then surprised me, and everyone else, by showing up at my birthday party! Such a fun surprise!

#13) The Proposal is a fantastic movie!

#14) Old navy has outerwear on sale for up to 50% off...so tempting to buy another jacket.

#15) Noah just turned 3! Somehow he has significantly digressed in his pottying training skills and my hallway now smells similar to an outhouse! :(

#16) Taylor Swift is coming to Raleigh!

#17) Sunday afternoons were meant for napping O:)

#18) I wish my papap and grandma lived closer - I miss them.

#19) Wal-mart, regardless of where it is located, is guaranteed to provide you with the opportunity for endless hours of people watching. If you can't get to one right away, but need a quick fix - check out peopleofwalmart.com.

#20) I hate Kenny Chesney's new song.

#21) Driving with the windows down can almost always improve my mood!

#22) "Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory" is SUCH a true statement!

#23) A girl my sister and I were friends with came to know Christ at our house when we were probably in middle school. She's now an adult and apparently has been struggling some with a lot of different things. She remembered how my mom had loved on and helped her come to know Christ so many years ago and randomly showed up a week ago to talk to my mom about what was going on in her life and chose to rededicate her life that day. How cool for my mom to see the way God had used her in the past and that this girl still remembered my moms love for Jesus and her!

#24) I wish I had more time (and finances) to travel.

#25) My family is doing Secret Santa presents for the first time ever this Christmas.

#26) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND! :)


Until next time...which I promise will be sooner than next month! Or at least I hope it will be... :P
