Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Happy Birthday to my mama, Linda! She's, well, 50 something today, I can barely believe it! LOL! She's over getting a massage a the local massage clinic, a friend bought if for her. Colin and I bought her some roses...a rainbow bunch, red, yellow, pink, white and orange; they're really beautiful! She also got a bunch of really cool balloons from work, and of course, Colin and I took her out to dinner last Sunday. He got her the nicest sweetest card and I got her a few myself. So I think all and all, she's had a really great birthday, I sure so hope so, she's so awesome that I try and make each birthday special. She taught me that everyday is special and holidays and birthdays are to be celebrated and enjoyed! Thanks mom, I hope your birthday is as beautiful as you are! I love you! On another note, I'm still feeling peaceful and fine. Colin and I had a wonderful day the other and talked and realized we're on exactly the same page--I finally caught up! LOL! It's about time! Anyway, it was really nice! It's blistering hot outside today, I came home from Colin's this morning around 8:30am and it was already 95*, it's supposed be like 108* today, so I'm definately staying indoors where there's plenty of AC! That's the tricky thing about living in Vegas though, you have dress in layers in the summer time...you go out partially naked (even though I'm against it) in the heat, and bring along two sweaters for when you're indoors. AC can get so cold and freezing, but hey, step outside for like 2 mins and you're ALL heated up again! That can't be good for the body, but oh well, that's life in Vegas. I live ON the sun!!! I prefer the heat over the cold though, I really do. But perhaps Colorado isn't looking too bad...later on, more about that later on! Anyway, I thought I was going to go get a new car the other day because mine needs some work on it and my tires need to be replaced, but we all decided (me, Colin, mom and my Uncle Bob) that I can't afford a new car now. I'd be upside down and my payments and insurance would go up, so that's a definite NO WAY JOSE'! I have a great car already, it's clean, safe and reliable. We're all gonna have to somehow come up with some money to fix it a little bit over time, but I do love my car. I've had it for almost 2 and 1/2 years and I'm going to drive it until I can't anymore. My next car, in a few years, will be Hybrid or something better...fuel economy and safety are the most important things to me in a car...I sit so damn close the steering wheel that safety is actually #1. And of course, good gas mileage, my car's not horrible at that right now, but it's not great either. I can live with it, I guess, I have to. I'm making enough changes in my life right now as it is, a new car is not another hassle I need right now. You know. Anyway, I'm really glad I decided not to get a new one and thank God for Colin helping me come to my senses on that. I have such a team in my life--it's great! Grandma and Henry are doing well, they're leaving on their summer trip in a few days and I'm worried a bit, but excited for them. They'll come see us later in the summer and that'll be wonderful! Everyone is doing really well, happy and healhty and enjoying the summertime! Anyway, right now I want to go grab a cold glass of lemonade and sit down and read a magazine! Thank you Lord for the continued peace and contentment in my life, You are the best! Please keep my numerous blessings coming and thank You for it all! Happy Birthday Mom, I love you too!

In Light N' Love,
