Now back to the birthday, first of all I would like to thank everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday in my comments. Bloggie buddies are the best!
I knew we were going out for my birthday but was not sure all the details. My sweet husband surprised me with a stop by one of my favorite Christian Bookstores, Mardels. I always love going in there, they always have awesome sales going on. I picked up two books for 99 cents each, 3 Veggie-tale DVDs for $5 each and a journal for $2.99. What a deal! Eden Jade thought I was silly because I bought her a present for my birthday. And the journal, I am so excited about the journal it is really cute. It is brown with pink polka dots and a little crown on it and in the corner it says “All About Me…” This just screamed Eden’s name to me. It will be a perfect place to jot down the funny little things she does or says, and then I will present it to after she is grown on a special occasion.
Next stop was “Lonestar Steakhouse.” Mmmmmm it was so good, we definitely ate too much. We started off with a Texas Rose, and they brought us a little loaf of bread and butter. Wow don’t you know that is good for you? Then on to the important stuff, the Filet Mignon was so good; it almost melted in your mouth. I also had a baked potato and salad. That was enough, no room for desert.
After eating we went to the movie theater. I was so glad we purchased our tickets early, because it was packed. We watched Blindside. What a fantastic movie, I fully understand why Sandra Bullock got an Oscar for ‘Actress of the Year’.
It was an early night we made it home by 9:30, where Patt had my birthday cake waiting for me. We finished the evening with a piece of cake and ice cream. What a wonderful birthday even if it wasn't in Arkansas!
“O GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Psalm 136:1
Sounds like an awesome evening.

Oh Nel! It sounds like you had a great birthday! I am so excited for you! You have a wonderful husband!! Happy Birthday to you!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time. The picture of the texas rose caught my eye. But here there called blooming onion, but they are so good.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to spend my next birthday at your house!
ReplyDeleteThere's something about a new, clean, blank journal that just makes you feel good.
Hapyy belated birthday! I'm just now catching up on blogs after being on vacation so must have missed it on the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful birthday! I love the idea of the journal to write down things that your grandchild says...I have to remember that one for the future! That will be a wonderful present for her when she's all grown up!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, love Lonestar! Hope you had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your birthday Nel...sounds like a nice celebration to me : )
ReplyDeleteThat's a genuine, fine birthday celebration. It couldn't have been nicer!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such a wonderful evening, Nel! AND if you're gonna have steak, I say go for the filet! :-)
ReplyDeleteAgain, happy birthday and the Lord's best blessing to you! ((HUGS))
I'm so glad you had such a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a Lonestar restaurant in a nearby city (about an hour away). We loved it. Sadly, it closed a couple of years ago.
