With February being in full swing, we're knee deep in birthdays from both sides of the family.. Smith: Memaw, Jessica, Audra.. Miller: Chad, Gerry, Larry, Chris
We went to Oklahoma over Valentine's weekend to celebrate Memaw's 90th. WHAT a day. Memaw was ALL smiles all day long - a blessing to us all. She really seemed to enjoy the company, the food, seeing her great-grand-daughter.. The only thing to make the day better would have been to have Jessica and Russell in attendance.. But unfortunately, work pulled both of them away. We ended the weekend with a lunch fundraiser at the UMC in Walters to raise money for the church's mission trips. It was a great opportunity to catch up with a few old friends - my 3rd grade teacher, my middle school principal, a mission trip buddy, a couple classmates..
Chad's 31st birthday was celebrated with dinner and a movie. We caught a showing of Slumdog Millionaire in preparation for Oscar's weekend. What a great film! drama, comedy, romance, documentary..all rolled into one. I encourage everyone to see it when they have a chance. It will open your eyes to the amazing and complex Indian culture.
Jessica is traveling to Denmark later this month! I wish I could hide in her suitcase and go along.. I can't wait to see pictures and hear stories of her adventures to see Miss Bella.
Unfortunately, I left my camera at home and didn't get pics from the birthday party. Hopefully Audra will send a few from her phone soon.. But I can share a couple pics of Chad and his new grill.. makin' ribs for Super Bowl.. :)
