Happy 2008

I cannot believe that the year is already over. We have had a rough couple of weeks, the girls have been sick since before Christmas. The nurse said that there is a viral cold going around, and the symptoms are fever for 3-5 days, and a cough for 2 weeks. Well, of course we got the full force of this one. Emma started off with it on the 22nd, and then Abbi came down with it last Thursday. The biggest deal of it though was that we were unable to go to mom and dad's for our family christmas. This is the first time EVER that we did not go to Texas for christmas. To say the least, I was bummed. Luckily my wonderful cousin and her husband live down the road, so we took them our gifts, and they drove them to Texas for us. They also brought ours back from Texas, and so we had christmas again at our house. Emma and Abbi got a WAD of cash from Vava, and Emma was very proud of it. She took that money today, and got her ears pierced. I was so proud of my sweet girl. She got up there and they double gunned her. She did not whimper or cry. She was so excited. She told me today that she wanted to do this so badly, that she would never ask for anything again. That lasted of course, about 10 minutes. We fully intended to buy Abbi a toy, since sis was getting earrings, so Emma(the one who never wanted anything else) decided that we should buy Squawkers Macal. That silly talking bird, which I was against before chirstmas(price tag of $60) but today at $15, it was a go. It is really cool, but I am glad that we will not be bringing anymore toys in this house until birthday time. Speaking of, I have 9 more days at my wonderful age of 32. I honestly think that I am going thru a mid 30's crisis. I just do not want to get old and older looking. So, what do you do? I got my hair high lighted to look younger, and of course I HATE IT! Why do I think that I can change the outside to make the inside feel younger? That is a good question, maybe some of you can answer that for me. So, Jodi take a stab at that one for me!

Girl you KNOW that you don't feel mid-30s!!! I sure don't feel 30! So I am not even trying to change the outside to make myself FEEL younger... I am just wanting to change the outside for the sake of it! :) That is why I hit the gym yesterday for the first time in 2 months... for my OUTSIDE not my inside. :) Hope the hair turns out ok... I bet it isn't as bad as you think. And hair color can always go right back. That is why it is one of the greatest inventions of our time.

So SO sorry the girls were sick and you didn't get to Winnsboro for Christmas. That just plain sucks. We weren't sure Adam and crew were going to make it either since Corbin had the massive flu, but they did come... just a couple days late. Hope you all are getting well!!!! Keep us updated!
