You Say It's My Birthday... da .. da .. da..da

Today was my 39th Birthday.. . .. yes, I know, how could someone so cute be 39 ? Chubby cheeks. That's the answer to true youth. No one can look at chubby cheeks and think ~ not cute. It's impossible!

In addition to being 39, I had an over-all WONDERFUL DAY! Much of that has to do with the great gals at work. With a 4ft Christmas tree as a center piece, those lovely ladies decorated my cubical with the most hilarious decorations. I had Happy Birthday ~ Merry Christmas ~ Happy Halloween, and I think someone threw in a menorah just to cover bases. As if that wasn't enough, they took me to lunch for some awesome Mexican food ~ yummy!

At 1pm Trevor showed up to take me home early ~ ah, there's a treat. We went shopping with some of the gift cards I had received (thanks again girls!), took a nice, loooong, cool nap, only to wake to the lovely sound of my friend, Michelle, singing "Happy Birthday You Look Like A Monkey" in the most velvet voice.

Tonight, Treveor and I plan to go out for a little din-din and then home early for bed. Okay. So it not a hopin' night. But, I'm 39 not 19, no matter how cute my cheeks! Still, for me, it has been nothing but a perfect start to my 39th year.

Trust In The Lord

It's no secret that Trevor and I have had difficulty getting pregnant, and I won't lie, we are always riddled with mixed feeling when our friends and family are showered with the blessings that we still long for. HOWEVER, Let' s make it known -NOW- that despite our obvious difficulties, we are truly happy for those who are able to embrace the blessings of children.

Recently, the Church has been putting out weekly short films called "Mormon Messages". Each message is so thoughtful and poignant, that I can't help but feel a deep and tender emotion when I watch them.

Below (at the very bottom of this blogsite) I have posted a few of my favorites, the most important (and the reason for this blog) is "Trust In The Lord". Not only was I able to relate to this woman's plight, but it helped me understand that sometimes blessings and trials are not about this check list or that good deed, but about time, understanding and trust.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.....
