• March 9, 1997 - Rapper Notorious B.I.G. is killed in Los Angeles. My birthday began with beautiful flowers from my husband! That night we had dinner with dear friends Brandie and Brent. I swear I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard or so much. Brent and Bickley together is quite the combination...Brandie and I are pretty humorous ourselves. (Or at least we think so...) Saturday morning we headed to PA where I celebrated my birthday some more with family...there's nothing wrong with making it a week long, or, heck, month long celebration! It was a great weekend! And for those of you that were wondering, no, it wasn't my 25th or 26th. I celebrated the big 33 with grace, no hesitation here. You're only as old as you think you are!
