first post!! (yay!!!)

Well hi!! I'm abby. This is my first post ever, so I'm pretty excited. First, I wanted to tell you a little bit about me. I attend at private christian school, and have 2 wonderful older sisters- Lauren and caroline, (check their blogs out on my profile!) and amazing parents!!I couldn't ask for a better family. ♥ love u, family!

Anyways, today was my birthday. It started out pretty boring, ya know, the normal school routine, but it got better. Yessss sirreee, it got better. :) wow. Well, at lunch, my best friend miriam over at http://mimielise.blogspot.com/ took me out to lunch at panera. We had an awesome time. I got some of their famous brocoli cheese soup. yummmm... and we had such a good time just talking, and enjoying a little break from school. I have known miriam for 11 years, so she made me a picture album of me and her that goes way back. It was very sweet, thanks again Miriam!! that was a blast. After school, I went home, had my violin lesson, (i'm learning notes-- i play by ear!) and then both my sweet grandmas and my elderly neighbor came over. It was really fun! we had a yummy dinner of chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and foolish pie. (this meringue stuff that you put strawberries and whiped cream on- obviously, the name we made up b/c it's so delicious, you just keep on wanting more!! it's been in our family for years.) I got some adorable fish earrings and some nice soap and bracelets from my mom and dad, some cute stationary and dove chocolate from my grandma, some money and more chocolate from my other grandma, and some more money from my neighbor. (money is always handy!! hehe) Also, I got some earrings and a cute homemade wire earring rack made by caroline. I am blessed!! So, I had a good birthday. Well, I better go study for this math test tomorrow. wahooo onward to algebra!
