So, it has been a challengeing week leading up to my birthday. I have a bad habit of building things up and getting excited over things. So 2 weeks ago, me, Ken, and my brothers and sister in law decided to go tubing Saturday for my birthday, then on Sunday my mom and dad was gonna take us all to the river for some river tubing on the boat. Then on top of that Ken and I have the next week off and we are staying home so there was one thing I wanted to do, go to Big Kahuna's... So, let's fast forward to last week (around the 22nd-24th)... Ken calls, he has to work 2 of our 5 days of vacation... BUMMER!!!! I was very disappointed to be missing 2 days of vaca with my hubby (but very blessed we had not already booked something or decided to go out). Next, my brother told us he had to work that weekend, and no one (including me) wanted to go tubing without him (but he is VERY blessed to have a job... that he is getting awesome OT in). Daddy didn't get a chance to work on the boat... so no river on Sunday. Last but not least (before I get to my awesome weekend)... Like I said 1 thing I wanted to do on my stayca was Big Kahuna's, b/c of Ken having to work, we had 2 days we would be able to do this, Monday (today) and Tuesday... woke up this morning to a fabulous storm (blessed bc we needed the rain)... that has lasted allllll day. Tomorrow doesn't look much better on the weather channel. So NOTHING has turned out as planned.
However, the plans that God worked out to replace mine we pretty great. Saturday Ken and I got up and went to breakfast (I was able to get him to eat at Hardee's, though he did pray for his life), then went to Aunt Wanda's pool and spent the afternoon in the pool, Uncle Lamar cooked hamburgers and we ate a good lunch with them, and Ashley and Taylor. Then we went home to get ready for my bday dinner at Blackwater Bistro. I have to say we were one hot couple! I was touched and realized how truly blessed I am to have such wonderful family show up for my birthday dinner. I enjoyed spending the time with my family. They ROCK. Sunday was a good day with my nephews, running through the sprinkler with my nephews and shooting waterguns at each other! And although today fell through with Big Kahuna's I had such a lovely relaxing day with my husband, puppy dog, and blankie, laying on the couch watching movies and tv and reading. So... it all turned out great.
I still have one birthday wish I asked for from God... but it was just kinda one of those little things I think/pray about all the time anyways, but what a wonderful time, my birthday :)
