Surprise Surprise

I am going to throw CyCy a surprise 10th birthday party. 

I've never "thrown " a birthday party for a kid. As a kid my family didn't celebrate birthdays but as a grown up I have become super fond of the day that others are born into the world. 

God willing our fence will be finished and we can have it in the back yard. The theme will be a garden party. I have ideas for the  cake, party favors, and some games. Stay tuned to see what magic I'm able to pull together.

JKAW Birthday

Happy Birthday to our baby, Jasmine ( Special Edition M&M) Wise.

Me` Birthday

Happy Birthday to my BESTEST Friend, Misti.

You're Welcome :)

MY BIRTHDAY/ Potluck

My 28th birthday was on Nov 18th and we had our annual Thanksgiving potluck at work. I am pretty sure it was the first time since I was 21 that I actually went to work. And the only reason I went to work today was because it was our Thanksgiving potluck. So I thought I could come in for at least half a day.

When I got to work I had some amazing door décor thanks to Courtney . And throughout the day some presents found their way to my desk too. I just love birthday presents. But most importantly there were cards !!

Google even wished me a happy birthday. I didn't know me and google were friends like that lol.

 

All and all my birthday at work was pretty good. I was so full from the apps ( not picture) that I only ate the cheese grits and broccoli on this plate.

Also let me tell you about this amazing scarf that you see pictured. Do you see that cute girl with the reindeer sweater on? That's ET. she came in the office with this gorgeous scarf on that I decided to lift from her neck to drape across mine.

Surprise birthday party

Today is one of my dear friends Amanda Burchart 28th birthday ! Happy Birthday, gf ( insert winky emoji)

In celebration of her birthday which is exactly a month from mine let me tell you about my surprise birthday celebration.

JMN is never allowed to know about any surprise that y'all have for me. just remember that. My friends Brady & Haylee  were having a baby celebration for their daughter Evie ( which now has been born) on Nov 14. It had been planned for some time and everyone one from work was going to be there. But little did I know, the party was turned into a Birthday Celebration for me.

 For some odd reason I thought the party was starting at 2 and I would leave around 6/7 to go crafting with Cathy & Amy. So when I found out through Slack that the party was happening at 5:30 I told them I would only be there for an hour because I made plans. Long story short JMN told me that I needed to go to the party because they were doing something for me. I looked at him like he was crazy because why on earth would they throw a party for me? uhm.. But everyone was blowing up my phone like Alisa you are the life of the party how could you not come?! My thoughts were WTH what happened in my life that I am the life of a baby shower. That's depressing.

Long story short I ruined the party and the almost gave Haylee and Brady a heart attack by saying I wasn't coming . I also showed up an hour early. SORRY GUYS

How cool was this tho?

I got presents and cake!

Best birthday ever!!!

Almost 10 years ago today

 Today is my 28th birthday. So I thought I would take it back to my 18th birthday.

Most of you guys are aware that my family did not celebrate holidays. So I did not have a birthday celebration ( dinner with friends because it was my birthday) until i was 21.

Here are a couple pictures from my 18th birthday.

This is Raymond & I in Biology

That was seriously the best I could do with my hair. I probably stayed up all night washing and straightening my hair for this day.

Look at my scarf.

Some things never change.

Happy Birthday to me and 10 years of added wisdom.

Guys looking at these pictures and remembering this girl. I am so happy I am where I am now mentally. ( physically i need to work on that )
