Happy Birthday Tonya!  I love you and hope you have many many more. 

 Tonight we are going out to eat to celebrate my birthday on tomorrow and my cousin Tonya’s today.  Decided to go to Chili’s cause they have call ahead seating and since Mom has invited an army it would take forever for them to seat us if we just walked in. 

 I am so thankful to GOD for blessing me with another year of life.  And boy, can I say a year makes quite a difference.  I have changed jobs, got licensed to preach, then licensed to drive (I know late but its a long story.)  Because of the new job I will soon be able to start getting my certifications for computers.

 You know it’s a little upsetting to have worked so hard through college only to find out later that in order to actually even use your degree you need certification or graduate school.  Still I guess it’s better than not having a degree at all. 

 Moving on…

 I am really ready for Christmas.  I am looking forward to being off from work and spending time with family.  This year has truly been full of accomplishments and changes for me and I am so thankful.  If a year ago someone would have told me that I would be at a place in my life where I was actually content and thankful to GOD just for the way he made me and what has transpired to make me stronger; I definitely would have laughed.  Since the holiday season to me is about being grateful for your blessings and family I just get overwhelmed.  I am truly blessed to be where I am right now in my spiritual walk with Christ, my career, and even socially.

 Leaving work early today cause I have to go pick up some gift cards and a DVD player for my grandmother (she told us not to get here anything, but sometimes it's ok to be hardheaded, don't you agree?)  I also have to go get something done to my nails.  They’re mine but the cuticles and stuff need to be treated or something.  Plus, I hate to get off work and have plans and not have enough time to do what I need to do before I have to be ready for whatever I have going on.  I end up running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  I want to be able to go home and actually take a breather before I have to meet the fam to go out to eat and stuff.  Can’t have too late of a night though… Praise Dancers practice bright early tomorrow followed by Praise team and choir practice.  Yep ya girl is going to be tired by the afternoon.  There is just so much to do and so little time (story of everyone’s life I know.)  But on a good note it looks like I may have the opportunity to see a good “friend” of mine tomorrow as well.  So it will be a good way to wrap up my day.

 OH and by the way.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME~~eeee!  LOL I know silly right!!

 Be Blessed and I pray everyone has a pleasantly memorable holiday!!!

 And most importantly,

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!! And yes I know ‘technically’ this is not when he was born that we should celebrate his birth every day but I wanted that on there lol.
