But wait- there's more! I also received via mail my new business cards! Yes, B U S I N E S S CARDS! I'm officially a business woman..entrepreneur..small business owner..? Whichever, I'm officially that. And I'm officially stoked about it!
I've been waiting to 'announce' it publicly, and I still am. But I figured I can at least announce that part and in a post to come later this week, I will share all the fun details about it!
But back to my birthday week...
It was fun celebrating the two occasions together. My husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, and being a total bum about planning anything on my birthday, (I used to plan like a month or more ahead, and one year I hit a wall I guess and just never got into planning ahead for my birthday,) I kept putting it off. So the day before, I finally got around to telling him I wanted to purchase a big round balloon. See, I had gotten a vision from God one night....haha, just kidding. I got a photo idea (from too much Pinterest-ing?) into my head which involved a balloon and my business cards. The picture in my head was way cuter than what I got, but uh well, it was still fun. And I still have the balloon. My husband and I have bets on how long it will last.. hopefully to his birthday in May! (Saving money like a boss.)
So we got the photo I wanted, we celebrated with family here and in Idaho (Skype), we ate red velvet cake made by my sweet mother-in-law, hung out with friends, and I received this darling pretty pair of earrings from my beloved husband:

On Saturday morning, I helped my small group from church at an outreach in a park near downtown Birmingham. We partnered with another company in town to throw an Easter egg hunt for kids in the area.
After that, I headed to the BJCC arena in downtown to meet up with my good friend who lives in Franklin, TN. She and I have known each other since we were 2 or 3 and have been friends for most of that time. She is from Idaho as well and moved to TN about two years ago. She works for Jeremy Camp at the moment and has been on the road on the Winter Jam tour with his family taking care of the Camp kids. So the tour was in Bham last Sat. night and she got backstage passes for the hubs and me. But first, she and I got to have a little time to sit down in the coffee shop downtown, (called Octane. Really cool space!) and visit and catch up on life.
Then we headed back to the arena and I met the Camps, got to hang inside their tour bus, and hung backstage as multiple bands went up and played. We even danced on stage for a minute on two different Family Force 5 songs.
Austin eventually made it after work, and we watched Jeremy Camp, Skillet and a couple others play before we headed home late that night. Neither of us know a whole lot of the newer Christian artists, but I've always enjoyed Jeremy Camp's music and the concert was fun to watch. TONS of people there! The second photo below is my shy attempt at snapping a photo of the chick from Group 1 Crew. (The one bending down to the little boy.) She just went solo recently, but I remember listening to their first album back in my high school/dance team/listening-to-Christian-hip-hop days. (lol) So ya know, I had to get a picture because I was standing right by her. Haven't listened to a song since though...
Now today, I'm packing to head to Idaho tomorrow for a week to visit family. I'm so happy I get to see my family, but I will miss my hubby for a week! First time being apart while married for more than a night. :P I think we'll get through it though. Austin is going to "bach it up" and I will have girl time with my mom and sis! ;)
Oh! I mentioned a sprouting tomato in my title didn't I? Ok so I bought some tomatoes on the vine a couple weeks ago and I noticed the seeds were way darker than normal so I was weirded out and didn't eat all of them. There is one still sitting in my kitchen that started sprouting! It's super weird, and since I have the furthest thing from a green thumb, I had no idea what to do, but didn't want to toss it right away. I asked a friend of mine and we decided I should try planting it and see what happens. I will laugh if it does nothing. I know I could pull the seeds out and plant those, but the tomato has greens coming off of it and it just seems like a waste to me to toss it! Am I wrong? I tried googling but I got bored trying to find the info I need. That's probably why I'm terrible with this kind of stuff.
Ok, I have got to go finish packing and getting the place ready to be left in the hands of a guy all week. (Babe, please don't kill the plants or leave alllll your cloths on the floor every night.)
Until next time-
