Almost Locked!!!

Well, the next time I post, I should be a locked sistah. I can't wait. I am trying to figure out what books to take with me on Sunday. I have a couple of Heroes, season 3 DVD's to take with me and I will bring my laptop as well.

My 30th birthday is tomorrow, no big plans because of Sunday's install, but I am going to the Spa tomorrow morning to get a pre-natal massage, it was one of my birthday presents! Hopefully the next time you see me, I will be locked down!

Sunday With the Girls

Today was a beautiful Sunday in the City of Brotherly Love. We started the day off with morning worship, then me, Snuggle Bunny, and Love Bug went to eat at Ruby's.

Okay, what's new? Well I am 21 weeks pregnant and I have found out that I am having yet another girl. I found out last week.....and I'm grateful. I know, I know, God truly does have a sense of humor. I have accepted the fact that I am a mother of girls. Pray for me, as I am sure I will need patience a' plenty. I'm having problems settling on a name for the new little one, but I figure I have time. There are two names which I have in mind, but I haven't settled on one yet. I have picked her middle name though.

It is official, I will have my Sisterlocks installed on November 1, 2009, the day after my 30th b-day. It is truly my birthday present to myself and I am really excited! I'm trying not to count down the days.

All in all, I'm okay. God has me in an amazing place right now. He is building my character and causing me to be in a place of complete and total trust upon Him. It ain't easy, but I have no other choice but to trust Him, It's all I can do!

Count Down...

Soooo, my 29th birthday is just ten days away, and as usual, I have nothing planned. I really wanted this year to be special, simply because this year will mark my last year I'm in my twenties. After this year I will no longer be able to say,

"Who me? I'm twenty-something."

I've learned a lot, and I have grown a lot. I have had trials, upsets, let downs, victories, break throughs, and celebrations, and in the famous words of Miss Celie, "Dear God, I'm here." Let's see, during this decade, I have gotten married, had two beautiful children, bought my first home, earned my degree, lost my grandfather, reconnected with/discovered my birth father, got my driver's license, (didn't get it until I was 21), had three cars, and I'm sure there were a lot of other significant things that I cannot think of at this moment. This brings me to my point, I really want to do something special to commemorate this last year in my formative years. Not that I do not plan to continue my evolution into becoming me, but you know...anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how I should celebrate this year, please let me know. The big day is Oct. 31st......yes Halloween......yes I have heard every joke under the sun. So let me know whatcha think.
