Goddess Party

Back in May, Jill's mom had a fun goddess party that I was so happy to be included in. Not only did I get a whole night with Jill, but it was a really fun experience to be part of! When I got over, her house was completly transformed into a beautiful goddess home! Bathroom mirror

Bathroom decorations!

Living room was completely transformed into a goddess lounge area with pillows galore!

The food was heavenly! We loved the chocolate fountain with all the dippers!

We also dined on hummus, tabouleh, grape leaves, and many other delicious treats! Jill sneaking a bite of something! Too hard to resist!

We also decorated wreaths to wear in our hair!

Here's how mine came out!

Aren't we lovely goddesses? I was the goddess of nature, and specifically poison oak, becuase I had it all over me.

Baby goddess Kayla Reese! Our lovely goddess hostess, Pam! Me and my BF Jill!Candelight made the room glow as we all read and shared goddess storiesThe last surprise of the evening was a belly dancer who taught us goddess moves!The scarf dancing!

It's always so fun to be at one of Jill's mom's fabulous parties! She sure does everything perfectly to create a wonderful time!

Happy Birthday Robb and America

Happy 33rd birthday Honey!

Happy 235th birthday America!

Some fun facts:

This July will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years!

This year has the dates 1-1-11, 1-11-11, 11-1-11, and 11-11-11!

Did you know that if you add the year you were born to the age you'll be in 2011, it will equal 111? This is true for everyone on the planet!

Robb 78+33=111
Carisa 81+30=111

Happy Birthday Jill!

Just want to wish my best friend Jill a Very Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a great day! I'm so thankful for this day as it was the day you were born! Where would I be without you in my life?! Probably 10 pounds skinnier from all of the ice cream and s'mores we've eaten together over the years! :o) Love you girl! Can't wait to celebrate all the June birthdays sometime soon!

Technical Difficulties

We got a new computer and I'm having trouble loading new pictures onto the blog. Working on it...

Birthday Fun Day, Part 1

I realize my birthday was in March, and now it's July... better late than never. What I wanted for my birthday was a "fun day" planned by Robb. Finally, we got around to it sometime in April. We started out by going to The Greenhouse, which we hadn't been to in a long time.
Orange tree!
Huge Bird of Paradise (which we saw everywhere wild on our recent trip to Florida)

Actually, we saw a lot of these palms in Florida! The green house is like a mini Florida.

Wierd trunk

Grapefruit!

This was a beautiful spot where we just wished we could sit in! Lovely orchidsI love this mossy ground cover and all of the ferns around. Wish I could make my yard look like that! I believe these were varieties of hibiscus' I just loved the delicate pink trim around the petals

Really cool flowering bush Me and a bunch of liliesWe were just about a week shy of all these Easter lilies being in full bloom. It still smelled fantastic with just the few that were opened Prickly cactus room. I'm amazed these can grow so big in not desert Ohio.

HUGE cactus!

Pretty bush-tree

Then afterwards Robb took me to Tommy's for my favorite MR3 and fresh cut fries! What a great birthday day!
