Friday’s Fave Five

Posted on by

Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts Friday’s Fave Five so we can share our favorite things from the last week. This has been a wonderful exercise in looking for and appreciating the good things God gives. Click on the button to learn more, then go to Susanne’s to read others’ faves and link up your own.

Here are five favorite things from this past week:

1. My Birthday!

I think Mittu and Jason put up the signs.

2. Having the family all together for my birthday!

3. Eating dinner at Outback with all the family on my birthday! And having it almost free between gift cards the ladies’ group gave me and a certificate that Jim had.

4. Having Texas Sheet cake for my birthday!

5. Visiting our old church in SC (it sounds strange to say “old church” as we’ve only been away three weeks…). I hadn’t told anyone we were coming (except one friend who ended up being out of town) because I wasn’t sure we’d be there. We were in town both to celebrate my birthday with the family and to get Jeremy’s things on a U-Haul and ready to move, and I wasn’t sure if we would be able to go to church, but Jesse and I did. Got a lot of teasing along the lines of moving back already.

6. (Bonus one today): I wrote more about this yesterday, but though Jeremy’s moving to RI was not a favorite in that he’s so far away and we miss him, I was very thankful he got there safely and I am excited for this new phase in his life.

  2. Glad you had an enjoyable birthday–and it’s so fun to be able to pop in on a group of friends when they’re not expecting you!

  3. Happy, happy birthday, Barbara! Sounds like you had a great one with family. And what fun to visit with your “old church” already. That’s great. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

  9. Happy Birthday!! It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday week. It also sounds, from the post below, that although you are all missing each other, that all is well and everyone is doing well despite the moving. I’m glad that you have plans to spend Thanksgiving together. That will give you something to look forward too. Good luck getting into a new routine.

  13. Sounds like you really enjoyed your birthday! Moms need to be loved on like that. Your cake looks really yummy. ღ

  14. Glad you had a wonderful birthday celebration Barbara. How fun to surprise people at your “old” church. I’m glad your son made it safe to his new digs! Have a wonderful weekend.

  15. Did you have the onion blossom at Outback? That is my favorite thing, the sauce is delicious!

    Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a wonderful time.

  18. Happy Birthday! We share our birthday weeks, at least. 🙂

    That sheet cake looks delicious!

    It is so much fun to return to a church you used to attend (even only a few weeks ago) and feel so much at home!

  19. Looks like your birthday was a joyful and sweet. I am glad you got to spend it with your family. How did it feel to be a guest in your “own” home?

  20. Happy, happy birthday! Getting everyone together is great, isn’t it? You’re the second FFF birthday this week I’ve read about.

    I have a recipe for Texas Sheet Cake but haven’t tried it yet. I hear it’s great.

    Enjoy the coming week!

  21. Happy Birthday, your cake looks yummy, Texas Sheet Cake?????

    The Outback was a great spot to spend your Birthday celebration.

  23. Sounds like your birthday was a real BLESSING this year! Happy be-lated! SOME day I’m going to have to try that Texas sheet cake!
