Happy Birthday to me!
Well today is my birthday and I can't believe I am 23.........how the years have flown by. Was contemplating my birthday yesterday and how quickly time really does pass you by and how our lives are certainly not long at all - just a passing moment - and how I have to use the time I have to the utmost, using it for God's glory and not wasting a single moment...
I think of what I really do every day that brings glory to God or would bring Him pleasure and that would not really be much....we are doing 40 days of purpose with our church in August, it should be good to go over the principles of what we are really doing here on this earth...
my birthday has been great so far - woke up with andrew when his alarm went off this morning and he gave me my pressie - my beautiful ring! He also gave me a card with some really sweet words in it -
"...Dear Nina, my lovely wife, happy birthday to you. you deserve to have a great day. thank you for all the stuff you do for me, I appreciate it all more than ever. You'll make a great Mum and we'll have a wonderful family together you and I. With love from Andrew...
How sweet is he. I think he's the sweetest husband in the world and I am so blessed... :)
Aunty Priscilla picked me up and we went over to Mum's for morning tea - it was really nice. My sister and 2 nephews also came. Mum gave me Coldplay's new CD, X & Y - it is awesome. She also gave me a gift voucher from Kmart. My sister gave me a book on sisters, it has many beautiful and sweet sayings in it about sisters - one favourite is "Sisters are nuts from the same tree". So true!!!
Aunty Sil gave me some Gardenia powder and a washer.
I went to the mail today and had 2 parcels - one was a giant card from my friend, Miranda and another was a beautiful baby cardigan and booties my good friend, Rachel made for me. She lives in Canberra and sent them up by express. She is very clever, i could never make something like that. She tried to ring twice on my mobile, but I missed the call both times!!! I don't know how I didn't hear it. I would have sent her a message, but my credit has run out. :(
I really have felt very special today - some friends from church, Miranda, Pauline, Nerida, Emma and my sister Bec took me out for lunch, which was fun. Then Andrew is taking me out for dinner tonight. I was thinking of Pizza Hut, but maybe somewhere more romantic?? I don't know. Pizza Hut is value for money and lots of food if you get the works bar...but then some nice restaurant down the beach could be good. Hmmm.........
When we were out for lunch, i bought 2 finches for the aviary - named them Brett and Betty Finch. :) Miranda (roosters fan) of course thought of Brett Finch for the boy. I just hope the cockatiel doesn't eat them...
Am getting very impatient to have our baby...i know i have to appreciate these quiet times now though, as i won't get many for years to come! i just want to meet my little darling. :(
