Rachel's Birthday

Above you will find a picture of my office on my birthday.  When I walked in on Monday morning, the ladies in the office had placed sticky notes all over my office.  Best of all, they were all hand-written notes from the employees in the schools.  It made my day!  Now I have them all on my filing cabinets.  I have to figure out what to do with them all.  I'm going to hold onto them since it was so nice.

I enjoyed that evening just hanging around the house with Daniel and Sophia. 

Feeling good about my 30th year!  Bring it on!

GG Doug and GG Jane came to visit this past week.  We had a great time roaming around Raleigh and showing them all our favorite places.  We were glad they were able to come up and spend some time with us!
