Ultimate Blog Party

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved parties! My most memorable parties include my fourth-grade rollerskating birthday party when I fell and broke my arm and missed most of the party, my wedding reception, my dad's 40th surprise birthday party (mainly because I got to drive his car that day so that he was stuck at work and wouldn't arrive home too early - as a recent 16-year old, having the car for the day was better than my 16th birthday party!), my 20th birthday in college when my parents drove down and surprised my entire soccer team at our game with ice cream, my 21st birthday in DC, and my wedding showers and baby showers! All of these parties were a great time of being with friends and celebrating. Right now we are planning my son's first birthday and I am so excited about his party!

This week, 5 minutes for mom is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party - it's a great way to find new blogs to read and win prizes. Go check it out, sign the Mr. Linky, and visit a few new blogs!

And if you're visiting my blog through the Ultimate Blog Party, thanks for stopping by! I'm a new blogger and am still working on my blog - a new template, what kind of posts I want to do, and getting into a regular habit of blogging. So this is a work-in-progress, but please take a minute to look around, leave a comment, and then visit back later!

Hmmmmn...my most memorable party (if not my favorite) was when my cake caught on fire. :) We've got a bunch of pics of my very concerned little four-year-old face. LOL I think we ate ice cream instead!

I went from TX to St. Louis, too. I was living with my brother after a mission trip to Japan, and moved to St. Louis to do a year of seminary at Covenant Theological Seminary. LOVED the school, hated the city (horrid allergies!!). Hope you're enjoying it there!

Here via the party!

Love your blog! We lived in St. Louis for 4 years. I have fond memories as my babies were born there! We are in Denver now!

I enjoyed your blog. We lived in Colorado for three years and I loved it. Unfortunately, hubby's job brought us back to California. At least we have lots of sunshine. Happy Partying!

Your blog title caught my eye so I stopped by. Welcome to the midwest! LOL Maybe some of the TX feistiness will rub off on our bland selfs! *wink*

I had a friend who missed her own wedding reception because they were both throwing up! They only just got through the service. We all had a good time without them.

Hello, nice blog you got goin' here. :) My favorite party was my 16th - my very best friend threw me a surprise party! It was the sweetest thing.

Happy Friday! (I'm trying to catch up with all the partiers!)
