Looking for Furniture

We went on a quest for furniture today.  We desperately need a kitchen table and mom needs some stuff for her sitting room.  She and Sybil were out and so I called to see if they wanted to go look and they were about to call and ask us the same thing.
Momma T watched the boys for us, they love spending time with Meme, so that was easy.  They even got to play football with Uncle Brian for a little while.  Danny thought it was awesome they were playing with an Auburn football.  Have I said War Eagle lately?
We found the perfect table and chairs at Haverty's.  Brandon and I already knew that we liked it because it is exactly like Aunt Paula's.  Mom fell in love with it too.  YAY!
Then we headed to Alabama Furniture Mart in Calera where mom found a great couch and chair for her sitting room.  YAY again!
When we left mom and Sybil went to Cracker Barrel and Brandon and I headed to Steak N Shake.  Yep that is one of those places, I wish I would have never tried. It was amazing.  Truly the best burger and shake I have ever had.  So glad it is in Alabaster, considering I am trying to get rid of weight having one of those close by would be BAD!!!
We headed to get the boys and then home.  It is hard to believe that December is almost over.

Hello 31

So Happy Birthday to Me!
I have to say between the messages, posts, phone calls, text messages, cards, and face-to-face birthday wishes today I felt so blessed. Thank you to everyone who remembered. You are such amazing people and having you in my life is reassuring and truly a blessing. I love you all.
Today started with a field trip with the 3rd grade to the National Weather Service in Calera. It was pretty interesting to see how everything is actually forecasted. Especially after being so close to so much devastation, it literally hitting home, it was pretty cool. I was glad that Danny was so excited I was going and that having momma around is still okay. He even told me Happy Birthday several times and gave me a huge hug in front of his class. It was great!
John Michael had a great day at school and even got a green face! Now that my friends is a birthday gift. Hoping that he keeps it up, I am so proud of him.
We came home and tackled homework, which was not an easy task because we were all so tired. A nap would have been much better, but we do what we have to do.
Then we headed to the ballpark. Danny had practice. When we got there I got the best surprise....Brandon was there. I thought he was going to have to work until 7 so him being there was great. I wanted family time for my birthday and I got it. Even a family dinner, sort of it was ballpark food and there is a lot to be desired from Clay's concession stand. It is pretty horrible for ballpark chicken fingers.
Well, many changes coming tomorrow to me personally. I plan to make 31 rock! More details coming soon. It will be awesome I can assure you of that!
For now, good night and again thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
