It's Official..

And maybe a bit last minute but...

I will be spending New Year's in Dallas!!!!

I absolutely cannot wait!

Jessica and I will be leaving early Wednesday morning to meet up with some of our friends, and we will come back sometime next weekend!

And who knows, we may both get jobs and never come back....haha wishful thinking!

Happy New Year!

Where Do I Begin?

I really do not even know where to begin..

Life has been busy to say the least. Christmas was amazing but leading up to Christmas, maybe not as glamorous. Over the past two weeks, I have been soo busy working, going to Christmas parties, catching up with friends, interviewing, and trying to get everything together for Christmas. Yes, I will mention that had an interview last week in which went very well; I just don't think that Meridian is the city in which I want to reside for the time being. With that being said, I will continue to look.

Christmas day was amazing, the Florida Vons came to visit this year and we had soo much fun getting to catch up with them! We got together Christmas Eve for lunch and also again for dinner, we spent all of Christmas day together, and we also spent all of yesterday with them also. I spent all of last night curled up with Sophie in my down comforter in front of the fire watching movies and catching up with the whole family. Who could ask for more? We had soo much fun and I really hate that the Florida Vons had to leave today! We had lots of fun with you and cannot wait for you to come back!!

Work was a little different this year. This December was the best December that the store has ever had in its 37 year history, and for that we are very grateful; however, my feelings for the business did change slightly. I love working in retail, and although it is sometimes tough and sometimes not-so-rewarding, I think that I would like a different change of pace for a little while, at least. The few weeks leading up to Christmas were so busy that they were almost not enjoyable, and sometimes working in the retail business will make you hate the holidays before they ever arrive. This year, for some odd reason, I really wanted to experience a Christmas not in the retail business. For the first time in my life, I wanted a Christmas in which I had time to sit around and watch Christmas movies, bake Christmas cookies, and have enough time to make it to every party/friend get-together that I was invited to without getting caught up in all of the hustle and bustle that the holiday seems to bring. December in the Mayer family is always the busiest season of the year; we tell my dad goodbye at Thanksgiving and we don't have much time to spend with each other until after Christmas is all over. We are extremely thankful for such good business, especially in this economy, but for once in my life I would love to experience a normal life during the Christmas season. Maybe next year?

New Year's Eve is coming up on us quickly and I couldn't be more excited to see all of my friends! Until next time..

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night..

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Lots of updates to follow very soon..

The Countdown Has Begun!

Only 5 days until Christmas, and I still have presents to buy! Thankfully, the two calendars arrived this week and they could not be more perfect!! After I posted one of the calendars below, I realized that I have it set to private so I am the only one that can view it. Maybe I will change that soon.

I have been extremely busy this week. I have worked everyday and we have been super busy! It seems, however, as though the only way that I can remember to do things is to write them on my hand. My to-do-list is becoming a little lengthy and somehow my to-do-list on paper tends to get thrown away on a daily basis. Needless to say, I know my hands look completely ridiculous by the end of the day. Just the other day I had a brilliant idea to write it on my arm considering I wear long-sleeve shirts and no one would know. What has my life come to? Either I'm getting old or short of memory very early on in life. And with that being said, I really do have a good memory; I just have to make extra sure that everything gets ordered for my customers before Christmas. I wouldn't want to be responsible for the "Christmas that never came" at someone's home Christmas morning.

I did go to a Christmas party in Gainsville, Alabama last night though. A guy that I graduated from high school with has a Christmas party at his riverhouse each year, and this is the first year that I have been able to go considering work usually gets in the way this time of the year. Words cannot describe just how much fun was had at this party. So many of my friends that I graduated with were there, and I had an absolute blast getting to catch up with them! However, this morning was not much fun. I woke up at 8:30 to be able to make it to work. I purposely took my car so that I would be able to leave early this morning and make it in to work on time. Well let's just say I got a little lost, a little being quite an understatement. An hour and a half later, very little battery left in my phone, and no battery left in my GPS, I arrived safe and sound in Meridian. I've never been so happy to see the "Welcome to Mississippi" sign and a little civilization before in my life. The whole hour I was lost in Sumter County, I had no cell phone service, a dead GPS battery, no remote sign of civilization, no road signs, no major highway or intersection, and absolutely NO convenient store (let alone any other kind of store). I was a little worried to say the least. But no worries, I found my way home!

Thank goodness I have tomorrow off. I have zero plans for being productive.

Christmas Season..

Things I love about this time of year:

1-Christmas movies

2-Christmas music

3-Cold weather/snow

4-All of the lights and decorations

Things I do not love about this time of year:

1-That I feel as if I have the flu.

2-I sound like a man.

3-My face is beginning to resemble the goodyear blimp.

4-Wearing cocktail dresses when it is 30 below

I think that this is all for now!

My Life Lately..

I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything that I haven't done lately? Since I have blogged last, I worked all day Monday, taught 4th grade Tuesday, worked Wednesday and all day today, went straight from work to babysit two very precious little boys, and I will be teaching 4th grade again tomorrow. I have had such a wonderful class and am excited to go back.

I am convinced that kids say the darnest things!! One of my students wrote me a note on Tuesday; this is what it said:

"Thank you! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher, you look like you are 15! How old are you?"

If she only knew how old I really was!

Tonight, the little six year old boy that I babysat kept playing with my hair. Well, about halfway through the night he whispered into my ear:

"I want to tell you that I want to kiss you on the lips."

I almost fell out on the floor. My only response to this was, "No, I just don't think that is a very good idea."

The Friday before Thanksgiving, I had a first grade class. They were watching a movie and the television in the classroom was hanging from the corner on the ceiling. One of my students yelled out, "If I have to watch this movie I'm going to get a cricket in my neck."

I can only imagine the stories that you hear if you are a full-time teacher.

I also forgot to add that I am completely through Christmas shopping except to get my sister and my grandmother a little something!!!! What a relief! The calendars had a shipping deadline(December 11) that I had to meet, and I must admit that it feels so good to have all of that out of the way! I stayed up most of the night last night to finish it. Needless to say, I am counting down the days until I can sleep in again! Now onto cleaning..

I've Been Busy..

Finishing this! I figured I would give you all a little sneak peak but shhhh....it's a secret!! This is a calendar that I have made my dad for Christmas, and I've also made my mom one too. I've been extremely busy and will update as soon as I get a minute!

Somedays I Miss College..

The year after graduation they start RAVEs in Mitchell Memorial. Hate I missed it.

However, I do NOT miss final exams!!

To Be, or Not to Be..

Have you ever been extraordinarily confused?

And I'm not just talking a little confused, I am talking a "do not know what in the world you are going to do" kind of confused?

Well, welcome to my life! I never once in my life thought I would end up right here in such a state of confusion. I have no earthly idea what I am going to do with my life!

To go to grad school, to not go to grad school...

To get a second degree/and or minor, or not to get a second degree/and or minor...

To get a full-time job or go back to school...

I think you are getting the idea. I'm really confused and maybe I should get YOUR opinion! Yes, this is correct! I don't ask very often but now is your chance to help me out!

If you were to ask me four years ago what I wanted to do with my life, this is what I would tell you:

graduate with a degree in Accounting, get my masters(which takes approximately one year), and apply to law school.

Ha. It's funny how quickly things change. I am now graduated with a degree in Insurance, Risk Management, and Financial Planning in which I currently cannot seem to do much with.

With the school semester currently coming to an end, and me now being jobless for approximately four(almost five) full months, I am beginning to wonder whether or not I should just go back to school while I still have the opportunity.

I have considered waiting the job market out through the end of the month but here is the deal...apparently, within the "real world" all that matters is experience. Hahahaha, everyone seems to say that but my ten years retail sales experience has gotten me absolutely NOWHERE except a job offer from Nordstrom. Insurance sales is considered "outside sales" experience and retail is considered "inside sales." Therefore, making my retail experience of no use.

I guess where I am going with this statement, is it more worthwhile to take an "okay" job and hope that the experience will get you somewhere in the future?

Or should I get a second degree, or a minor, or go to grad school instead? Which is more beneficial?

Where would I go to school? Ole Miss? Alabama? Not Mississippi State?

Would I double major in Marketing or Accounting? I only lack a few classes for an accounting minor, am I stupid not to pursue it? I can surely do more with an accounting degree than an insurance degree..but is it worth spending another year or two in school?

I think you see my dilemma. I have some big decisions to make and not much time to make them.

Did That Really Just Happen?

First things first,

Roll Tide Roll!

I have proudly worn my houndstooth all day! I absolutely cannot wait until the Rose Bowl!

And now on to more important topics,

I found EVERY ONE of my Christmas ornaments that have been missing since the end of November, and you will NEVER guess where I found them.....

They are on my parent's Christmas tree.

They have someone come and decorate our house every year for Christmas, and apparently this year he was uninformed on which decorations were mine, and which were my parents.

Enough said I guess.

But no worries, I undecorated their tree and quickly to my tree they went!!!!

I'm sure my mother was thrilled to hear that her Christmas tree was decorated with Dollar General Christmas ornaments hahahahahaha!!! None-the-less, their tree is beautiful reguardless of where the ornaments originated..

Just glad to have mine fully decorated! Maybe she won't notice anything missing from hers....

It Just Doesn't Get Much Better Than This..

Sweet, sweet Sophie sound asleep

I am currently sitting in the recliner, snuggled up with my down comforter and my sweet, sweet little Sophie while watching the SNOW fall down outside, listening to Christmas music and drinking a little Christmas cheer :) It's been snowing for a few hours now and it is gorgeous!! It has just started to stick, maybe it will stick around for awhile! Sophie and I played in the snow earlier tonight and I think that she really enjoyed it! She is now sound asleep in my lap; she is absolutely PRECIOUS!! Here are a few pics! Enjoy!!

Word Just In..

60% chance of SNOW tomorrow night!!

YAY YAY YAY!!

News Flash, News Flash..

Just wanted to let you know that there is

a 45% chance of SNOW tomorrow night in MISSISSIPPI!!!!

For those of you who are unaware, this is a BIG deal!

Still dreaming of a white Christmas..

A Little Here, A Little There..

First things first..

I really don't care for this new blog header but I just cannot seem to make one that I really like. I'll keep playing around with it until I can find something that I decently like. Onto bigger and better things..

I have been quite a busy bee since the last time I blogged. I have been on quite a cleaning streak lately(read below) and I have also got quite a bit of Christmas shopping done! Now for those of you who don't know me very well, this is a VERY big deal. I am your absolute best example of a last minute shopper..but not this year! Not to mention, I even ordered Sophie a sweet little Christmas sweater today! I will post pics as soon as it comes in! I bet you didn't hear the latest news in Meridian???? There is a chance for SNOW FLURRIES on Friday night, and it is only November! Hopefully we will get some sort of a winter snow this year! Tonight, my family and I had a "late" Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's aunt and uncle. It was great getting to see them, I haven't seen them in quite some time. I hope that I am in as good of shape as they are when I reach their age. My great aunt is absolutely hilarious, and my great uncle is still just as business smart as he has ever been.

I have quite a few projects that I am currently working on. Last year, I made my mom and dad each a calendar for Christmas. They are both so hard to shop for and I was completely out of ideas. I have a website that I use online, and all that I do is design each page (which takes forever), put together the layout, and have it printed and shipped to my front door. Simple enough I guess. Needless to say, it was such a hit last year that I'm doing it again. So I have spent quite a bit of time on my computer lately trying to put these together (and shhh...it's all a secret!). Hopefully I can finish them sometime this week. Last year, I was late getting them together, rushed them in for Christmas, and they cost waay more than I ever imaged a calendar would! Thank goodness this year I have started early, and I even got an e-mail today stating that I get FREE shipping!!! I know this doesn't mean much to you but when the shipping costs are more than the calendar, it means quite a bit!

Have I completely lost my mind??

Apparently, it has been gone for quite some time now! You wouldn't believe what I have been doing over the past two days..I have been on quite a cleaning streak. Now I haven't been on just any clean streak....

I have literally cleaned baseboards, cabinets and what not, I cleaned my car inside and out, cleaned my room, cleaned my closet, and I even cleaned out all of my drawers...AGAIN!

Yes my friends, this is what unemployment will do to you. Not only did I clean out all of my drawers, closet, cabinets, etc. two months ago when I thought I was moving, but I have cleaned them out a second time over the past few days! I even considered re-painting the baseboards! I think unemployment has most definitely reached a new high. If only Santa could bring me a job..

Now for those of you who know me, I am an extraordinarily clean person, but I'm afraid this has reached a new high. Lauren (my roomie from last year) would have come up with a better nickname than just Merry Maids for me by now if we still lived together..

Until tomorrow.

From Dixon With Love..

It's a great day to be a bulldog! I have been in Starkville all weekend and what a weekend it has been! Before I go into detail, I'll catch you up to date on everything else! This week has been one amazing week and I'm sad that it has to come to an end. The Arkansas Vons arrived on Tuesday and the fun hasn't stopped! We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday night, had fun hanging out on Thursday night, and shopped a little on Friday. Sister taught us how to knit Friday afternoon and I must admit that I have been knitting a scarf ever since! I just hope that I will be able to finish it sometime soon...it's quite time consuming! Friday night was family game night and we had soo much fun! I woke up bright and early Saturday morning and headed to Starkville for what turned out to be an AMAZING day! Hotty Toddy who????

Final score: 41-27...wrap that in maroon and white!!

My friends and I all sat in the student section and had an absolute blast! We stayed in the stadium for quite sometime after the game..probably one of the most fun Mississippi State games I have ever attended!

For the momentous occassion, not only were students throwing the typical whiskey and coke when scoring, making a terrible play, etc...but they also decided to throw nacho cheese. Can we please say disgusting??? Yes, you guessed it, my friends and I not only left with whiskey and coke in our hair, but also nacho cheese. Disgusting!
Besides the fact, it was an amazing game and I have thoroughly enjoyed harassing my Ole Miss friends about it! After the game, my friends and I tailgated all afternoon and proceeded to go out last night. It was soo good getting to catch up with everyone! I miss seeing them soo much! Also, Kayleigh came into town and I ran into her and Sarah G. at the game!!! It was soo good seeing both of them. I have seen Sarah at a few games but haven't seen Kayleigh at all since graduation! She moved to Monroe and is an absolutely amazing reporter/meteorologist..if you haven't seen her posts, you should definitely check them out!

Today, Brittany and I had our traditional after game-day sushi date. Soo much fun! Overall, this weekend was absolutely amazing! To the Arkansas Vons, I wish you could have stayed longer! I arrived in town tonight, and it was so weird with you all not being here :( I promise to make a Little Rock trip very soon, and I absolutely HATE that the Hogs didn't win last night! I was pulling for them all the way!

I have posted pics below!

Updates and All..

Let me first and foremost start out by saying that I have spent the past hour of my life making a new Christmas header for the blog. Well, a solid hour later my computer froze, I forgot to save the header, and I lost every bit of it! Thank you Scrapblog! I'm currently using this header from last year until I can re-create the one in which I started.
On another note, I haven't blogged in quite a while! Believe it or not, I've been keeping pretty busy. I was in Starkville all of last weekend for the Alabama game and we had an absolute amazing time! It was so good to catch up with old friends! I have a couple of pictures from the weekend and cannot seem to get them off of my camera onto my computer! I would have to say that the highlight of Saturday was seeing all of the Alabama attire. Gosh, I wish I could have taken pictures of all of the GREAT Houndstooth slacks that I saw. This past Monday, I helped decorate my dad's store for Christmas; it turned out to be a lot of fun and I learned quite a bit! I have been working on two wreaths to go on the front doors. I have completed one and should finish the other one first thing in the morning! I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this past week substitute teaching! I had one second grade class and two different first grade classes; the kids were good and it was lots of fun! I spent all of this weekend in Meridian, and I must admit that I didn't really know what to do with all of this free time! I can't recall the last time I was in town for the weekend! I was supposed to go to Little Rock but having to work on Friday put a damper on those plans.

I bet you would NEVER guess what I did last night??

That's right, I sat in on a Saturday night and put up my Christmas tree. I must admit that I am WAY overdue for a new Christmas tree; I really considered purchasing a new one this year but job permitting that didn't happen. Well, I began putting the tree up last night and realized that somehow I have lost all of my lights, ALL of my ornaments, and a branch off of the tree. Cute tree, huh? Well, my friends, lets just say that my Christmas tree is lacking significantly! Hopefully we can fix that problem shortly! Until then, I shall have a bare Christmas tree :(

Sometime within the last week a new craft store opened in Meridian; for all of you who live here know that it is a pretty big deal to have a new store open in town. I took a trip one day last week and thought that I was in heaven! Can I please tell you that this store TWO cake isles?! And not to mention many scrapbooking supplies! I didn't even talk about the fabric...it takes up half of the store! Too bad I'm not in college anymore. Last year, it seemed as if I was ALWAYS needing fabric for toga parties and what not, and Starkville was the only city in the surrounding area to have a slim selection of fabrics. Well, not anymore! I think I could have spent a few days and quite a bit of money in there! I must admit, it wasn't nearly as good as Hobby Lobby but it will suffice for the time being!

And onto Turkey Day....the Arkansas Vons will be arriving on Tuesday and I absolutely could not be more excited! I haven't seen Riley and Matt since the wedding last May and I cannot wait to catch up! I don't think that Tuesday could come soon enough!

Wow! What a Wednesday..

Words cannot even describe how busy I have been lately! I got back from Orlando on Sunday. I substituted on Monday and Tuesday, and I have been in Jackson all day today. I went with my dad today to buy Mountain Hardware and Patagonia in Jackson. We had a great time, but we were in each appointment for about four hours! Needless to say, I was very glad to get home. Waking up at 5:00 a.m. makes for a long day! I got back to Meridian around 8:00 tonight and have been returning phone calls ever since!

I must admit that the best part of substitute teaching are the funnies that come along with it. I just had to pass this one along: All of the children were making turkeys on Tuesday, and each turkey had five feathers. On each feather, the child was supposed to write one thing that they were thankful for. Most all of the children wrote the basics: food, clothing, shelter, family, and friends. Well, I looked down at one little boy's turkey and it spelled out B-A-S-S! I said, "Is that bass?" He replied "Yes, and how do you spell H-O-O-K-S?" I about fell out the on the floor...typical guy, typical guy. Apparently, it starts at an early age!

Orlando..

Just in from Orlando, and I must admit it is bittersweet. Glad to be home, but there was just soo much more to do in Orlando! And did I mention it was hott?? In November!! We had so much fun. We spent Thursday night with some of our family, we spent all day Friday at Disney World, and went to my cousin's wedding on Saturday. Disney World was great! What was the best part you ask?? The Christmas decorations and they were even playing Christmas music!!! It was amazing...but I must admit, I like the thought of Christmas in New York better :) It just seemed too hot to feel like Christmas! Saturday night was lots of fun, it was great getting to see all of our family! Congratulations to Brad and Amy! While I was in Disney, I got a phone call to substitute. So I will be substituting tomorrow and could not be any more excited about it!!

Flight from Orlando to Atlanta=Enough birth control for the rest of my life

I have heard it said many times that one should not fly into the Orlando airport. Needless to say, I did not heed there advice and flew anyways. Big, BIG mistake my friends! Please take my advice, if you are flying solo..NEVER fly into Orlando. I must have had at least five children sitting beside, behind, and in front of me on both flights screaming (yes, screaming!) at the top of their lungs for the entire flight. Needless to say, the Meridian flight has never looked so good!

Until tomorrow..

Monday, Monday..

As many of you know, I am absolutely obsessed with Christmas and everything about it. Well, I received a text message from one of my old roommates at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning and as many of you know, my phone has no memory. Needless to say, I wish that I had kept the exact text, but this is how it went:

Roomie: "Michelle, just wanted to make sure that you have not put your Christmas tree up yet, I mean it's still pretty early."

Me: "No, I was hoping I would have a new "home" to put it up in, but no worries if I had my own place it would have been up October 1!"

You know it's bad when...

your previous roommates message you to make sure you haven't put your tree up yet haha!

I had really good intentions this week of putting up my Christmas tree, and I'm afraid it may have to wait until next week! I worked all day today, and will work again in the morning. I need to pack; I will be in Jackson all day Wednesday, and will leave bright and early Thursday morning for Orlando. When I mean early, I mean I have to be at the airport at 5:15 a.m.!! Needless to say, I am afraid Sophie's little "birthday celebration" may have to be sometime next week, along with my Christmas decorating!

One Amazing Weekend!

Well, I just got back into town today. I have been in Starkville all weekend, and what a wonderful weekend it has been! My friends and I went to dinner Friday night and then proceeded to go out. We cooked out on Saturday, went to dinner and watched the football game, and then went out for Halloween. We had an absolutely amazing time and I was so sad to leave! I miss my friends and Starkville more and more each time I visit! I got home today and played with little Sophie all afternoon, and we even went for a 2-mile walk! Needless to say, she was STILL not tired when we got back! My little Soph will be turning ONE on Friday!! I absolutely cannot believe that I have had her for almost one complete year. She has got SOO much personality and is just as sassy as she can be! Not to mention, she LOVES to give kisses. Yes, this is correct my friends; I can promise you that she will give you more kisses in one day than some people will get in their whole lives! I grow to love her more and more each day, and I do not know what I would do without her! That being said, I am flying to Orlando on Thursday for my cousin Brad's wedding. I am so excited to see all of our family that we do not get to see very often, but I will miss Sophie's Birthday. (I know, I know...for all of you not-so-dog-loving-fans, you don't quite understand..but I feel REALLY bad boarding her on her birthday). No worries though, we will make it up to her before we leave. On another note, I have a big interview coming up on Wednesday and could use ALL of your prayers! It would be an absolutely AMAZING job if I can get it! To sum it all up, I have got one very busy week! Work tomorrow, Jackson Wednesday, and Orlando on Thursday!! Can't wait!!

Monday, Monday..

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Well, you should take a look at the coat that I got today!! While most women love shoes or purses, I LOVE winter coats!! I just can't get enough of them. At least my fetish is only a short three months and not 365 days out of the year, right?! You see, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately...I have WAY more crimson and houndstooth than I think I will ever have of maroon and white, and I am not even that big of an Alabama fan. That being said, what better time to get use out of my houndstooth and crimson attire than at an Alabama game?? I know, I know...I love Mississippi State but I have the perfect Alabama attire!! So I got this coat today so that I would spare all of you avid Mississippi State fans from having to see me in my crimson and houndstooth that I had considered wearing to the MSU vs. AL game (considered being key word!). I will post a pic very soon!

On another note, I absolutely cannot believe that November is almost here!! Where has the year gone? I have got a lot going on between now and January, and that does not even include work (as of right now)!!

31st-Halloween

7th-Brad's wedding weekend in Orlando

17th-Alabama game

28th-Egg Bowl and family in town!

And I forgot to mention that little Sophie will be turning 1 on November 6th!! I cannot believe that I have had her for almost a full year now! She is just as wild today as she was the day that I got her, but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

And as for December: weddings, weddings, and more weddings!

I am counting down the days until all of our family arrives for Thanksgiving!! It has been over a year since I have seen Riley and Matt and we have got lots of catching up to do :) Can't wait to see yall!!

Every Dawg has its Day..

I have been in Starkville all weekend and had an absolutely amazing time! I was definitely not ready to head back home. I went to lunch with a friend on Friday, dinner with friends that night, and then we all headed downtown afterwards. Saturday, we tailgated all day and went to the game that night. It was a great game...until the end of course! We sat in the student section and had a blast...needless to say, I was absolutely covered in whiskey by the end of the game! I think that I realized just how much I have missed college. We went out Saturday night, and I finally got to hear Southern Tide's band play!! And by the way, they're awesome! I think that every time my friends and I have tried to go see them, our plans have always fallen through! Needless to say, they were amazing and hopefully we will be able to see them again sometime very soon!
And as for Tim Tebow, well he didn't propose this weekend..but I'm still holding out on him :)

For all of my many frequent blog readers, I recently found out that I passed the online personality test for a potential job opening, and I have been asked to interview with the company. In the meantime I am hoping to get a phone call to substitute teach and if not I will be working at the store when needed!

It seems as if I have been soo busy lately! My dad's 50th Birthday was this past Wednesday, so we have been celebrating since early last week. Last Saturday night, we had a family birthday party for him. Sunday night, we threw a surprise party for him with some of his closest friends, and on Wednesday we threw him an "all day" birthday party at the store. We took his commercial slot on t.v. and created a birthday commercial for him, we had a banner made for the front of the store, an ad in the newspaper, two big black wreaths, tons of balloons, his friends had tee shirts that they had made with his picture on the front, a cake with his baby picture on it, and a ten minute slideshow. It all turned out great, and the slideshow could not have turned out any more perfect! He cried when he saw it! I have posted pics below.

Dad with the birthday cake I made him

Of course there were more pictures (and people also), but these are all that I had on my camera :)

Happy 50th Birthday to My Dad!!

Happy 50th Birthday to the best dad in the world :) I hope you have had a wonderful day!!
