Needing Gift Ideas For Someone Special.

Meet my Papaw. The photo above is of he and I when I was just a babe. Goodness I love him more than I can seem to put into words. He is one of the greatest men I have ever met. I am so thankful that I grew up so close to my grandparents, but for whatever reason, I have always had a strong bond with my grandfather. Welp, this year he is turning 80, on March 17! I still think he still looks just as young as he does in the top picture as he does now. He is a pretty handsome grandpa, don't you think? I sure think so.

I am stuck in quite a pickle. It's not everyday when someone dear to you turns 80 (well, not for a 20 year old girl at least. Maybe, once I am old and wise my friends will be turning 80 left and right, as well as myself, so I will be a pro once that time comes) and I have no idea on what to get him! I have been racking my brain these past couple of days on a good gift for him. If any of you guys could help a sista out and enlighten me with fabulous idea, that would be great.

Also, this is his FIRST ever surprise party. It only took us 80 years to pull this one off. So, a great gift that will really knock his socks off is just what I need!

He was pretty handsome back in his day, scratch that, he is still good looking.

See, this was he and I this Christmas. He hasn't changed a bit.

I Am No Longer A Teenager.

Yesterday was my birthday! It was such a great day entirely. I spent the early hours of my birthday with my girl friends, who counted down the minutes until my big day. It was great being with them when the clock struck 12 and getting chocolate icing in my hair and face, also while listing to the Dixie Chicks. Okay, it wasn't so fun getting icing in my hair, but at least it tasted good. Right? Then I went out on a mini shopping spree with one of the bests. For dinner I had my fav, meatloaf. I love that stuff. Thanks to a special boy who made it specially for me. Back at home with my parents and brothers my mom bought me my favorite cake in the world, Stephanie's Red Velvet Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. OHMYGOD! I just love that cake, if you have never tried it before, you must. Right. Now. It is that good. I then caught the latest Sherlock Holmes, which was fantastic. I couldn't decided if I liked the first one or this one the best. So, I left it at a tie. It was such an awesome day. Thank you to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday and a special thank you to those wonderful people I spent it with. 

However, I am counting down the days until my 21st. Only 354 more days.

Below is a picture of my cake I adore. It is mouth-watering delicious. Perfection.
