Happy Birthday Melina!

           Melina A. Baetti. We’ve known each other for quite some time now! Our love of basketball brought us together and our friendship bloomed.  Though we were physically separated for years by miles and seas, we remained friends.  I am thankful for you and your friendship.
            We recently celebrated Melina’s birthday with hot chocolate and cold ice.  The celebration was at Park Tavern in Atlanta.  We had a great time and surprisingly I didn’t fall while ice skating. There was great food, great friends, great company, and we had a great time. 
            I’m no Kristi Yamaguchi, but I held my own. Roswell eventually got the hang of it and skated well. Maria seemed like an Olympic champion. I’m delighted to see how we’ve all grown over the years.  Happy Birthday Melina!!!!

Happy Birthday Priscilla

The birthday celebrations continued  as we celebrated my sister-in-law’s birthday with a surprise party.  She was truly surprised and the party was a major hit.  The pictures speak for themselves. LOL

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Priscilla "Kita" Jones!!! 

Happy Birthday Grandma

            On December 8, 2012 we all gathered to celebrate my grandma’s 70^th birthday.  It took a great deal of planning and coordination but we all pulled it off. Grandma was so surprised…and it’s hard to surprise someone who’s so nosey!   As she sat at the table designated for the Guests of Honor, she looked out in awe of the event. The children and grandchildren all came together for this momentous occasion. Grandma we love you!!!

Happy Birthday to Me

Life is beautiful, yet life is busy! I recently celebrated my birthday. Thank God for another year! The weekend was filled with food, friends, and loads of surprises.  It all began with a surprise dinner party with my friends and family. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with me at the Kani House.  I sure do love Hibachi!  My husband orchestrated this entire thing!  The weekend wasn't over however. After a charitable event I had to host, I was whisked off to Atlanta where I celebrated with friends and family in style. Hotel rooms, bottles, Limos, VIP oh my! I will forever cherish these memories...even to ones I don't have LOL. 

Thank you again to everyone. Happy Birthday to Me!

P.S. Best birthday EVER!

 

La vie est bonne

Life is good. God is good. My husband and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary by taking a trip to Paris, France. This romantic city had SO much to offer and it was truly a whirlwind experience.  The beauty, the architecture, the language, and the fashion are amazing. This is truly the city of love.

Two years may not seem like a lot, but we celebrate each moment together. I am happy to have such a wonderful man in my life…he’s pretty lucky to have me too. LOL.  What better place to celebrate love than Paris?

Aside from the whimsical romanticism of the city, there are some spectacular wonders that must be seen. Words cannot truly express the beauty of the Louvre, the excitement of climbing the Eiffel Tower, or the splendor of the gardens of Chateau de Versailles.  There is a great deal of walking, but it’s well worth it. The underground train station is a God-send and is something that Atlanta should invest in to cut down on the traffic. 

Let us not forget the shopping that is up and down the Champs-Élysées.   Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, H & M, and countless foreign shops.  Shopping was definitely one of the highlights.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this trip possible!!!!

Besos,

Tionya and Roswell
