Birthday Weekend Fun

I was kinda hesitant about posting pics from my birthday celebration, but I figured why not? I mean, it was such an awesome weekend. So, here goes....

My weekend began with my first performance in of "A Testament of Faith," an inspirational play written and directed by Shawna Moore.

"A Testament of Faith" stage play church scene. You can't see me, but I'm behind the lady in black (Denise Hair aka Sis. Mabeline). And yes, I put my daughter in there. Kids go to church, too!

Friday's performance was a lot of fun, but it was more like a "warm-up" than the other nights. Then, I woke up Saturday morning and served as Mistress of Ceremony for the Tuscaloosa Diabetes Walk.

Following Saturday night's play performance, I went to hang out with my family as my cousin Crystal and I chose to have a joint birthday celebration. (Her birthday was Sept. 24 and mine was the 29th).

I don't know what was going on right here, but I was obviously having a good time.

Yeah, they're feeling it! LOL Talecia, Aris, and Kayla

*singing* We are faaammmmily! I got all my sister with me. (And Aris just HAD to blink right then, I guess. Whoever the photographer was, you suck! LOL Extra room by Cheryl and completely cut off Talecia. smh)

It was a long day, but Cheryl and Jared came out to celebrate with us after the play was over. I think he was just happy that we wouldn't be the same age anymore. We're 11 months apart. ! Thanks, guys.

The crew.
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.

VIP at Merienda is AWESOME! Very roomy.

We had a ball. (By the way, thanks, Clifford.) Granted, the DJ had to put us out, but if we can celebrate life, the very least we can do is honor The One that gave it to us..... Especially since my niece was being baptized.

After church was the final weekend performance of "A Testament of Faith." I have to thank everyone who came out to support us but especially my mother, my brothers and sister (in-laws included) and their children, my grandparent, aunts, cousins, AND those who traveled from Aliceville to support Jared, Denise, Joel, Nate (our music director), and me.

Jared, me, Denise Hair, Joel Stancer, and Nathaniel Cole (We were trying to make an "A.")

All in all, an AWESOME although busy birthday weekend.
