I hope you are all doing well! Things still remain very busy for me as of late, but it's a good busy I suppose. :)
I have so much I want to write about and so many wonderful articles I would like to post, but finding the time to do so, is a whole other story! So, for now, I will leave you with another picture post of Marianna's 24th birthday and a visit with my grandpa. (Hopefully all these pictures won't lock your computer up!)
This was Marianna's surprise tea party I planned for her with all the girls from our VOH group.
Marianna being surprised! (at least a little bit!)

Some of the decorations.....I think that was my favorite part of planning the party! ;)
Scones and tempting tea loaf. :)
Some of the food......
Me with the b-day girl!
Lea....
Trying to get all these girls to take a group shot is like herding cats! I guess a got a little taste of what my dad goes through with us. ;)
The Group Shot.....

The birthday cake......
Miss Marianna opening her gifts.....
Then she read us a book......
Everyone listening to Marianna's rather *amusing* little story. ;)

ON her birthday, us girls went shopping, and stopped at Starbucks for a treat. :)

Then Lea said something really funny.......
And we laughed......
And laughed.....
Until we cried..... ;)
Lea and Rebecca being silly. :)
Marianna~
The hospital Marianna was born at 24 years ago....
That evening, our family went out to dinner, and THEN to the outdoor theatre to hear the symphony play!
It was a gorgeous evening despite the warm summer heat.....

The outdoor theatre....
It was so nice being able to lay out on the hill while watching the evening sky turn to night, and looking at the beautiful moon and stars while listening to the lovely music! If you live in our area, I would highly recommend you go next time they have this event!

Later that night we came home and did cake and gifts....
This is Marianna on her new "throne" with her maid servants surrounding her. ;)

Well, I must be off now, but before I go, I wanted to share this quick praise report....Remember when I asked for prayer about possibly getting a second little job that would help out with paying bills and things? Well, the Lord answered the prayers a couple of weeks ago when I got a call for a baby sitting job 2-3 times a week this summer. I was very glad since I love baby sitting and it will help me earn a little extra money at the same time. :) The hours and days I go have worked out perfectly with my schedule so far. It's definitely been an answer to prayer! The Lord is always so faithful to provide just what we need in His perfect timing. :) Do any of you have any praise reports? I would love to hear!
Have a good evening!

ReplyDeleteI've tried to answer your comment a few times now and each time our computer froze up on me.
ReplyDeleteMarianna's party looks so fun. I want to have a tea party now!
I started in photography three years ago and love it! My goal is to use my camera as a tool in ministry. Two years ago I went for a week long photography course in Dallas and have been learning on my own since.
