Pictures from Stepheny's birthday

Thought some of you might enjoy seeing some pictures of my day. :)

I was very excited that my birthday was on a Sunday this year, getting to spend the first part of my day at church with friends and good preaching! :) After morning church, Dad took us all out to lunch at a restaurant in Valpo "Schoop's"... one of the BEST hamburger places ever! When we got home, I opened a few more gifts and ate my delicious Key Lime Pie! :) (which I had instead of cake) and then rested. Then it was time to go to church again... I had a really good time in the evening service... great preaching (for the second time that day!) and a wonderful time of fellowship with several of my friends. :) I had my actual birthday dinner of Chicken enchiladas and Spanish rice the night before.

In the pictures you see me wearing a brown hat and a red vest... :) They were both birthday gifts that I absolutely loved! :) I received SO many other nice gifts from family and friends... and I appreciate them all! :) I also got many nice cards from friends and they were all very special! :)

Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate my 17th birthday! It was my best birthday yet and I appreciate and love each and every one of you! :)

Thanks again,

Stepheny
