Spiritual Birthday

Every year I celebrate my spiritual birthday, the day that I accepted the Lord into my life. It's always a very special day to me. I usually go to lunch and buy a Christian book or buy a small gift for myself that has spiritual meaning. I really like the fact that I'm much younger this way - so today instead of being 48 years old, I'm 37! I'm hoping that in heaven that I will still get to celebrate this day!

New Phone

Joe got me a wonderful new phone for Christmas. I went the day after Christmas and got it activated, then the real fun began. Learning to use a new phone is challenging. We get so used to where everything is that we no longer need to think about how to use it. The first time my new phone rang I didn't even know how to answer it, and people would laugh if they saw me trying to text. I was used to texting just using the number pad on the phone and I was quite fast. Now, I have a very sensitive touch screen with letters very close to each other and it will take a long time for me to say anything. With anything else, I am sure that I will soon navigate around like a pro and be texting furiously!

Christmas Day 2009

Trisha helped me get the blog started while she was here visiting. We have a house full of people here for the holiday, and there were so many gifts under the tree we could barely get to it! Unforunately Joe and Cherie have to work today but they were all here until early afternoon. We had turkey and dressing (basically Thanksgiving all over again) yesterday and we are having the Mexican food today. Yummy homemade tamales and posole!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
