50th Birthday Bash!!






As a surprise for my 50th birthday, my girls gave me a great party at Stony River. There were about 35 of us and it was so much fun. I know they worked hard on the planning and keeping it a surprise. They did it the week before my real birthday which worked out great because I had surgery on my mouth on the 15th of September and was down for the count until well after my birthday on the 19th!! Thank you to my precious daughters for their time, efforts and the big bash surprise they planned for me. It was wonderful and I loved it all. My family and friends that I love so much were there making it as special as it could ever be. It's awesome to feel so loved when you feel soooooo old!!! Now it's a new time in my life and I'm moving on to the "enjoying every minute of it" phase!! Photos will be added as I get more of them. For now, it's me as a baby; me, Mom and Dad, me and my best friend Lana Toon when we were 15, me and Lana about 4 years ago, and me at the party trying on my new sunglasses (thanks Sheila, I love them). Fun, fun night! Enjoy the birthday party photos!!

About Me

My photo
I have the most amazing family and spend most of my time with them. I have twin daughters who are 32. They have given me Tessa age 4, Isabella age 3, Harrison who is 2 and Pierce Hayden who is 5 months. I also have 3 step children who have blessed me with Heath and Heather - who are almost 14, Bailey who is 13, Alyssa who is 7, Greyson who is 5 and Tinsley who is 5 months. I am a blessed Gigi!! I am a builder of custom homes and have a subdivision that I am developing, I have a Nashville vacation rental that keeps me hopping, I recently took on a beautiful new position editing and proofreading for a speaker/book writer with Psalms 31 Ministries, I am also editing a book for a beautiful Christian friend who is about ready to publish her first book, I am working diligently for the next Congressman for the 5th District in Tennessee and just recently have started campaigning for a family member who is running as an independent for the Governor of Tennessee. I travel a lot with my husband and find my most satisfying position in life is as a daughter to my amazing Mom and as Gigi to my beautiful "little people"!! Life couldn't be more busy, crazy and chaotic - and I love it!!
