Wow, I'm 29!

Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I had to work a buying show for my largest account, so not the most ideal way to spend your birthday. After work Ben came home with beautiful flowers, and some nice gifts. The most exciting part, he took me to see the new Ice Age movie. It was so funny. We had a wonderful evening together.

Happy 30th Birthday Ben

Ben celebrated his 30th birthday on July 14. He requested a home cooked meal. I got him his favorite ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, flowers and a balloon. His gift was a re-make of his college judging team belt buckle. He was totally surprised! Early on his birthday morning we were up and getting ready to go to the airport. My jet setter was on his way to the NCBA Summer Conference in Denver, CO!

Two Time Zones Apart

July 5-11, 2009.

Ben was in Albuquerque, New Mexico on the Navajo Indian reservation with our church. This is the fourth year New Vision Baptist Church has worked with Solid Rock Church in Clear Water, NM to conduct VBS for the youth and complete construction projects on the church and in the community.

Iris was in Starr, South Carolina awaiting the arrival of her first niece. Spending her vacation on the farm was great. Cows, horses, dogs, grass, sunsets, and stars what wonderful gifts from our creator.

I'm so excited! My brother and CeGi had their first baby girl today. Eva weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 21 inches long. I'm an aunt for the first time. She is so beautiful! I can't wait to spoil her and love the "stink" off her.
