Dick's Gone Big: Happy Hump Day; Happy Birthday!

     On this day, 31 years ago I was brought into this world. As I look back on life, it seems crazy how everything has turned out for me. Never would I have imagined I would be living in California; ever in my whole life would I have imagined EVER living outside of the great state of Texas. But here I am! Before I left Texas, I was with my mom and we ran into a friend of hers. She asked how I was and who I had married and how it all happened. My mom told her version of the story and it was weird to me to hear it out of someones mouth besides mine. It is crazy to me how God has a path for you and truly looks out for you throughout your life. It has taken me a long time to actually listen to God. And I mean actually listen. He's there and always working for you in your life. I am truly blessed to be where I am today; to have some of the best friends, family, and the greatest husband. At the most random times, something happens or someone comes into your life when you need them the most. My life could have turned out so much different. It's weird because I was so close to settling in my life. Let's face it I wasn't getting any younger, wasn't looking to go back to the dating scene; seemed easier just to settle. But then you just LISTEN and change your whole life with a couple changes; break up, quit job of 7 years and get a new one. With those two things, happiness was found. Not even two weeks later, I found Geoff and a new job, with who would have known, my BFF would be found. The past two years have been the best of my life and can't wait for this ride to keep going and take me where ever! Sorry for the ramblings lol just enjoying my coffee on my birthday and blogging!
   On Facebook this morning, The Praying Woman had 2 status's today that were perfect for my Blog today. 1. Never underestimate God's ability to turn your situation around! 2. When things don't look like they'll workout... pray, smile, and have faith that God has already worked them out! As I wrote this, I happen to see those and couldn't help but put them in this Blog. Those are both so true, and I have to keep reminding myself that all the time.
   So, I get up this morning and go for my run. My husband, for those of you that don't know, is the sweetest guy! When you least expect it, he just warms your heart to pieces. Not that he doesn't do that everyday of my life, but he went above and beyond this morning! I walked in from my run and see these little pieces of paper sticking out of my keys and sunglasses. I pick them up and they are little cut out hearts; one side has a letter and one side has a cute little saying using that letter. I go in every room of the house and there are more and more of these! I'm guessing they are supposed to spell something!
   A few of the little sayings:
      You're the Best
         What up Dick?
          You've got it Goin' on
          Thirty-one! Getting better every year!
          Thirty-one? I'd still card you! (funny cause I got carded yesterday!)
          I Really Love You
          Birthday time!
          I Dig your Intelligence!!
          You're Awesome!
           I can't believe Your Hotness!
          I keep falling more in love with you!
   And they keep going I won't bore you with them, but his is just so super sweet! :)
   So he finally texts me, as I am looking at all these letters trying to figure out what it spells, and asks if I had found anything. I tell him how many I found and he says there's 31 (since I'm 31, how clever)! I'm 4 short. He gives me some clues, and to each one I say I found those. I search and search; I hate losing!! Finally I give up. He comes home, and looks for them and he can't find them. HMMMMM He goes out to his car, and he had forgot to put them out!! LOL All day that had bothered me!
     I wanted to go to dinner and have some beers. And, of course, I had a coupon for a free pizza at Oggi's a pizza a brew place. All you had to do was spend $30. I can drink that much beer lol! So we go try out some brews have an appetizer and some pizza! Come home and Geoff had bought an ice cream cake from Cold Stone!! MMM
     Good night; Good 31st Birthday!
