DERIVATIVES
celebrator |-ˌbrātər| noun
celebratory |səˈlebrəˌtôrē; ˈseləbrə-| adjective
ORIGIN late Middle English (sense 2) : from Latin celebrat- ‘celebrated,’ from the verb celebrare, from celeber, celebr- ‘frequented or honored.’
I’m feeling rather celebratory today. So much so that I cannot seem to motivate myself to do much else but exist in a celebratory state. And trust me I have much to do today. And the way I am living that out today in my little house all by myself if for me to know and you not to find out. hehehe
Here’s my list of reasons why:
1. Today is Daniel’s birthday! Happy Birthday Baby!
2. I just got back from an awesome trip to the beach and I have a face tan!
3. I have a nephew who is expected to be born in a little over a month!
4. A close friend just got engaged!
5. I didn’t die in the green monster tornado on Tuesday night (one of the eeriest things I’ve ever seen) [Pray for the many families who lost loved ones and their homes]
6. I made new friends this weekend and laughed so hard it hurt (one of the best feelings in the world)!
7. LOST is on tonight. I want to know whose eye it was! I think it was Charlie.
8. There are 3 weddings coming up that I am way excited about!
9. We have a brand new Heat Pump and duct work that is working beautifully! Thanks to LOTS of Daniel’s hard work which I am really, really grateful for.
10. I get to visit some GREAT friends later this month.
The LBD Dual Significance:
Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”
This is not always easy to do.

I can never understand those that don’t get into holidays or birthdays. Those special events bring something exciting to look forward too and something new from the daily routine. My mom always took the time to make those days special and they are some of the best childhood memories. But, then again like you said I guess we have something to celebrate everyday!
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Ps. 118:24
Happy Birthday, Daniel!! =) He looks so grown up and tough in that picture. I think it was Locke’s eye in Jacob’s cabinet. Although, it could be the taller Walt. =) I love Sawyer.
Enuwee-
I love that your celebrating! I also love that you are blogging…however as I get involved in readying your blog posts I look away and realize that the black screen and small white print really hurts my eyes! Andy’s is the same way…I always see stripes when I’m finished reading. I just got glasses too…
Lots of love and see you in April! (or march if you come to Ginger’s wedding)
I found you! Well, I found your blog. I didn’t know there was a toronado there!!! I want to hear more about this one. Scary!!
