This is my Golden Year!

Today is my birthday and it’s time to celebrate! I couldn’t sleep very well because Michael was playing his video game and I could pretty much hear everything he was saying. I woke up around 1:30 in the morning and noticed that Michael had put up a sign in our bedroom that said happy birthday. When he finally got into bed like a half hour later, I went downstairs to get some water and noticed there were more signs and my gift and card. I was allowed to open them since it was technically my birthday. I had $25 in scratch offs, which I won $10 and another ticket. I also had a gift card to JC Penney’s and a massage place down the road. I can’t wait to use that massage gift card! We finally fell back to sleep, but then it was time to get up again. Your dad made me an egg sandwich on an English muffin with some toast. It was a good way to start my birthday! Until we looked outside and noticed it was snowing! Yes can you believe it, the end of March with flurries!

I got off of work early because I made a hair appointment in the afternoon then my mom and I were getting our nails done. While getting my hair done, I asked about how much hair was needed to donate to Locks of Love. My stylist said between 7 to 10 inches. She was going to start with 7 inches to see what it looked like. Well I also had a picture of a hair style I had a few years back that I wanted something similar to. After she cut the hair, she told me “well it’s more like 10 inches” that she originally took off so there was no way I was going shorter than that. It’s not like it is a bad hair cut, it’s just something I have to get used to, which might take some time because it’s a big change.

Yikes! Look at all that hair!


The new hair do.

After my mom and I got our nails done, we went back to their house until my dad and Michael got there so I could open my presents. I was surprised by a gift; the two sets of china. I also got some girl stuff to take with me to the hospital and to use once we get home and letters for Emma’s name.

We also had reservation for dinner at Chevy’s with Michael’s parents, his brother and family, Ashley and Jarrod, Jake, Zach, and Laura (who met us later for dessert at Dairy Queen). We didn’t do too much after dessert because everyone was pretty tired. This was to be a busy weekend for Michael and I so I was okay with just getting some rest.
