birthday cake and banquet






we had a joint birthday cookout two weeks ago... i can't believe it has been so long since my last post... i have had so much going on.. anyway, chris and i decided to combine our birthday party this year. we had burgers,hotdogs, and all of the fixins.. thanks scottie for doing the grillin.:))..






my daddy gives us a ''jug'' of money every year for our birthday... i look forward to that!!!! i think that is so special and unique....love ya daddy!!!

last weekend, we had our annual banquet at the fire department that chris volunteers at. he was at a training school out of town and could not be there. i asked my mother to go along with me.chris was recieving his TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE award.. and they wanted me to accept it on his behalf...

i was very proud of him, and was quite upset that he could not be there to accept it himself.. this is tim, the assistant chief, and myself, and josh, the chief, who is also my first cousin!!!

surprise, a prize for your birthday!!

i love surprises!!!!! my birthday was thursday!!! i had some days off from work this week, and i was so glad!!!! chris came home tuesday and told me he needed to go into town to his work to fill out some paperwork.... he then told me he was going to be off work on wednesday and we were going on a little ''getaway'' for my birthday and valentine's day!!!!!! yea, i love to go on trips and especially surprise ones... so, we got up real early on wednesday, loaded the boat,and headed to the lake.... he rented a lakeside villa right on the water.. we have stayed here before... it has been a few years... anyway, the weather was warm and beautiful...

there are 5 lakeside villas












our villa





it has a screened in back porch overlooking the lake





i sat out here some and read a good book








we went fishing some and there were many boats, including this sailboat, i was a little dissapointed, we did not even have a bite.. we did not catch anything... but we had a good time out on the water...

it was so quiet and peaceful
, just pure relaxation










the villa has a bedroom upstairs, this is the view from upstairs
