A great day...

Well, I have just successfully turned the big 2-6. Yup, not even kidding. It's kind of a weird age because I'm now closer to 30 than to 20. It's not a bad thing at all..just weird! It was a great day yesterday! Started out with my hot, hunk of a husband totally shocking me with an iPod nano. He sneakily bought it without me knowing and when he gave it to me, it was covered up by some sweet ceramic Starbuck mugs that we'd been looking at a little while ago. What a guy! I was floored. This nano thing is such a cool little piece of technology! I'm pumped to don my new nano with the cool armband thingy at the Y when I go to workout!
My parents are here still, so I spent some time with them yesterday and that was just so great. I really couldn't ask for anything better than having family close.
I went and treated myself to a sassy haircut. And all my girls out there... you know how great it feels to go to the salon and get a new do!
My great friend Emily, decided that she would get me a year subscription to Real Simple. Yikes!! I love that magazine and I've always wanted a subscription to some great mag and now I do. Wow. I was spoiled, thats for sure.
The day ended off with my mom and dad, sister Susanne, my husband, his bro and sis-in-law and his parents all going out to Applebees for some great eats. Yummy!
What a great day... (Thank you Lord for such wonderful blessings!)

Here they are!

Here they are! My mom and dad and Heather and Kalle are here. She's such a cute little peanut! We went to the mall yesterday and they played at Dino land for a long time. It was a crazy zoo there. My cousin and her husband brought their two kids too! Fun times. It's so great having my fam here. I sure missed them. I'll post pics of my parents and my sisters soon!
