It's raining, it's pouring...

Pouring is more like it. We were dumped on yesterday. It came out of no where. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. I just wish I could have been better prepared. I am hoping it rains again today. I have some stuff to do after work, but it makes for a cozy evening at home.

My first rag quilt...

I am in love...with my rag quilt. It is the perfect nap blanket. I worked really hard on this, but I love how it turned out. It isn't perfect, but that is what makes it unique. Plus, only I will probably be able to find the couple things I "missed". I have more fabric coming from a fabric buy to make another one. I am not sure if I will be able to part with that one. I am addicted to these. Rarely, do I make something for myself. I am always making things for others. So it was nice to know that I was keeping this for ME!!! I am considering it a birthday present to myself.

The prizes just keep coming...

I won Brooks and Dunn tickets!!! My name was put in a drawing because I bought a Arizona Lucky Ducky Derby duck. I am so excited. The concert isn't for a couple months (the hottest time of the year), but it will be fun.

De La Salle Shooting

I never would have thought that a shooting would ever happen at DLS. I was sadden to hear of the shooting that happened just before the opening of the annual festival on Saturday. The festival brought many happy memories in my lifetime and now someone had to ruin it for so many. For selfish reasons... I can only pray for those who were injured and all of those who were affected in some way. Even though I haven't attended the school in 15 years, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Please say a prayer for all of those involved, that they may return to some level of normalcy after this horrific event.

Rubber Ducky...

I stopped by the KNIX World Tour of the Valley stop this morning. I have always wanted to buy rubber duckies for the Lucky Ducky Derby. So today I had my chance. I won a pool gift pack with stuff I will never use since I do not have a pool, but I love to win anything. I will also have a chance to win Brooks & Dunn tickets. Keep your fingers crossed that one of my duckies will also win me something else.

Here I am with the morning show guys, Ben and Matt. They are a hoot. My day isn't complete without listening to them in the morning.Talk about a great way to start my day!

Another year older and wiser?

Well, I have made it to 29. My day was mostly spent on the couch, as I am getting over a cold. I watched a couple movies and some shows on Food Network. It is funny how the older you get, the less exciting birthdays get. It starts to feel like any other day. I hope that will change once I have children of my own and they make me birthday presents. :) I am hoping that one of the things that happens in the next year is getting pregnant. I have a feeling it is going to be a long road, but I have faith it will happen. So here's to another year!!!

What a great day

I love when it is close to my birthday! I had a great birthday lunch with some girls from work. My meal was amazing and the dessert was unbelievable. I had to go to PT (not fun), but it was worth it. I had a photo shoot with a daughter of K's co-worker. I got some great shots. She was really nervous at first, but she warmed up after a few shots. Straight from the shoot, K dropped me off to dinner with some girlfriends. We had a blast. It is so nice to go out with just the girls. It ended up being a "surprise" birthday dinner for me. I am so lucky to have women like this in my life. Thanks girls! You all are the greatest.
I am going to proof my photos from today and head to bed. I had a pretty big day. Two more days until my birthday!!!!!
