Crafty Wednesday
Today we had a Christmas party at work and we decided to play a White Elephant game, only the gifts were our favorite dessert we made, and a dishtowel. I decided to make my own dishtowel, thanks to Pinterest.

Orange Pride
Sam Houston State University is ranked #1 in the Southland Division with 13 games undefeated. Semi-finals are this Friday, and when we win, our championship game will be in January. I went to the quarter finals this past Saturday, and to see the Orange Pride as the Bearkats slaughter Montana State was amazing.The video camera in front of me, that's ESPN filming. Pretty cool for a Small town college in East Texas...

90 Minutes in Heaven
Today I'm linking up with Heather with Blonde... Undercover Blonde for Book Club Friday.
Based on a True Story- Don Piper is in a car accident just outside of Huntsville, Texas, and is pronounced dead at the scene. This is a fascinating story of a man's visit to Heaven, and his life after returning to earth. Don Piper is an ordained minister in a town outside of Houston, TX, whose recovery continues to be grueling physically. The life and death experience changed his life forever.
The first part of this book was intense. Leaving me waiting to hear more as he describes, as best as possible, what he saw as he spent 90 human minutes in heaven, as we as telling the gruesome story of his rough-life long journey of recovery. The 2nd half of the book he talked about how is experiences helped others. Definitely a book worth reading.
I found several quotes from the book that were inspirational as well.
"Sometimes things we take for granted every day can be taken from us permanently and suddenly, and we're changed forever."
We're willing to save someone in a visible crisis, but a lot of folks are in a spiritual crisis and we don't say a word about how they can get out of it."
"There are no accidents or surprises with God."

Whoo hoo! Another year older. Last Saturday I turned… yup- 28. oh so close to 30! But, I will not admit it. Not yet anyway. Yesterday was the first time I said ‘28’ out loud. That was weird. And sounds so old. But- I had a wonderful birthday so it was great.
My co-workers took me out Friday night, where I ran into quite a few other people, good and bad. Saturday night I went out with more friends and had a wonderful time again. I also realized, at 28, I’m too old to go out all night, all weekend, drinking. Sunday was rough.
And of course, along with a birthday comes presents. My mom and dad got me the new, white, 32gb iPhone 4S, which is amazing. And a phone case/cover that is also a charger. It rocks! I got some brown ‘texas winter’ boots, and some cash, that I spent on 2 shirts and perfume so far. (there’s a little left over, I can’t decide what I want).
I have a new friend, and he sent me these cute flowers, and a hoodie (If you can’t guess, he’s in the Army and didn’t like that I said I often wear a Marine hoodie… oops!)
And then at work, we all have ‘birthday buddies’ and mine happens to also be a good friend, Kari. She bought me kalaches and a really cute pink scarf.
And now, I feel like I should show pics. So- enjoy haha.
