Mom, Dad, Luke, and I went out to eat Friday night to Dixie Cafe. This was the first time Mom and Dad have gone out to eat since they started their diet. We were all good (well except for Luke) and had salads....mine had fried chicken on it of course. I'm so proud of them though! Together, they have lost the weight of their cat Mertis...and boy is he a big cat!
I was able to get my birthday presents too! And, I can now mark #17 off my list....I'm going to meet PAULA DEEN!!!! Mom and I are going to Savannah to take one of her cooking schools. We're not sure when exactly, but I'm so excited!!! Do you think she will autograph a stick of butter for me???LOL
I also recieved my Grandma's wedding ring. That was totally a shock and very special to me. It's an antique for sure. Mom wore it for a while and I think it's so neat that on my left hand...I have Luke's engagement ring, the wedding bands that were originally Mom's, and now Grandma's ring. Luke's wedding band was my Dad's too. Inside they have their wedding date inscribed and we do too! They added YLFL (Your love for life) and we added BBFL (best buds for life...mainly because we were best friends before we fell in love).
So enough sappy for now. I had a WONDERFUL birthday and can't wait for many more!
