Friday's Fave Five

A few blessings in my life this week:

Seeing yellow daffodils blooming. So bright and sunny! They always open up right around my birthday, so I have always though they're my b'day gift from God.

My nephew, his fiance, and her father stayed with us this week. They spent a lot of time meeting with advisors at MSU and searching for an apt in Springfield. But we enjoyed the little bit of time we got with them. Sweet kids.

Met a few other homeschool moms from this area. We've only been here a few short months and he winter had left us feeling pretty lonely. Such a blessing to meet new friends :)

My mom finished writing her first book! She dedicated it to my Dad. I know he would be so proud of her.

My husband knew I was having a crummy day and suprised me with my birthday present early...a new netbook!! So nice to be mobil again.

Catherine said...: I'm a new follower, too. Happy birthday, and enjoy your new netbook! I'm glad you were able to meet some homeschool families. There aren't many in my area, and none with boys that are my sons age, so we're pretty lonely sometimes, too.

Congratulations to your mother!! That's exciting.; March 19, 2011 at 11:45 PM
