Life pretty much doesn't get any better.

This is what I call a perfect end to Birthday Fortnight Round 1:

Lunch at Les Madeleines with the promise of this...

...for breakfast tomorrow.

And, as a special surprise, I just found out I won Jenna's contest!

So, thanks Birthday Fortnight Fairies, for the abundance of Birthday Miracles hurled my way.

One more thing...

I was remiss in giving photo credit where credit is was due. Friend and sometimes commenter Jenna is also a budding photographer! Go to her photog blog: http://jennacole.com/blog/. She's pretty much amazing, and I covet her new dSLR. She also gives wonderful tips to those of us who have photography aspirations.

Happy Birthday, Jenna! I'm happy to share my Birthday Fortnight with you!

Other Shameless Self Promotions of Birthdays

Friend and sometimes commenter on this blog, Jenna, (aka That Wife) is also a shameless self-promoter of her birthday. For weeks she's been bragging about lovely gifts That Husband has given. But as a totally self-less gesture, she's sharing the wealth in celebration of her birthday. (It's today! Go say hello!) And yet, I am staggered by her ability to be selfless whilst being shameless.

Here's the catch. She's getting her readers to blog about her. And since I'm all about winning these dainties...



I'm all over it. Well done, Jenna. Well done.

Happy Easter

It's a beautiful day, as it should be today of all days! As I was preparing my Relief Society lesson, I found this video on mormon.org

"One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so."



For more videos, see The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints youtube.com profile page: http://www.youtube.com/user/MormonMessages

So, Happy Easter! I hope you find joy in knowing that Jesus Christ lives and loves us, and because of these two reasons, eternal blessings can be ours.

The hills (and depots) are alive!

I first saw this last weekend, and then, when while we channel surfing, my roommate and I caught a quick spot CNN did on the same thing.

If you can manage to watch this without smiling, I'm going to go ahead and say you might not have a soul.

Let the Celebrations Commence!

Dearest, Darlingest Momsie and Popsicle:


Thanks for officially starting my birthday celebrations with salmon, potatoes, peach ice cream and every good thing. (There were beans too, but I didn't manage to nab a photo before we ate them).


Thanks also for letting me hang out with you to watch Conference.

Love,

Megan
