April 17 was a good day, as it tends to be every year :) I started off a little bummed about turning 21, but Aaron was very sweet and I got out of that funk really quick! We went to Ihop for breakfast where I ate WAY too much! Aaron went to work and I sat in my car in the parking lot getting phone calls from family and trying to digest my huge breakfast! Once I felt I could actually move again, I went out shopping! Mostly window shopping at thrift stores, but I had a good time! I spent some birthday money I'd gotten from my grandparents on a couple of shirts and a pair of black stretch pants from TJ Maxx (Shirts were 7.50 and pants were $6! Good deals always put me in a good mood!). I also got a thigh master ;) and picked up a birthday gift for my little brother Kyle. I'm almost all stocked up for all my siblings' birthdays this year! The sad part about my TJ Maxx experience was in regards to my jeans search. I've been looking for the perfect pair of jeans for MONTHS now and I finally found them! The fit was perfect, the coloring was perfect, they were comfortable, they made me look good in the caboose section ;) and all the things a great pair of pants should do. But TJ Maxx has a very strict fitting room policy of only taking in 8 things. So when I brought my perfect jeans out and still had more to try on... the fitting room lady decided to hang on to them for me rather than let me take them back with me. I told her to guard them! Yah... when I came out they were gone! Apparently the "take backs" person had grabbed them to put back on the rack. I looked for them for almost an hour with no luck!! :( Anyway, enough of my sad jeans story... Around 1pm I went and had lunch with Megan! We picked at our Chinese food and chatted away until 3:30! Then we browsed a new local store called "dots" and Megan gave me my Aldis orientation! Then I browsed Gordmans where I picked up a cute sign to hang on the wall by Quincy's crate in our new house that says, "Never underestimate the warmth of a wet nose" :) I thought it was cute because Aaron always complains about Quincy sticking his wet nose on him and I always tell him that he's just giving kisses :) That night I had a vegetable pizza for dinner! I always have to pick off the sausage or pepperoni from the pizza that we get for pizza night (every Friday!) and this time I didn't have to!!! It was awesome :)
Trevor and Carolyn came over to celebrate with us!
We played Life and ate the cake that Aaron made! He did a great job!!
I got some really nice things for my birthday too! My family called and sang to me as always! Both sets of my grandparents sent me a card and little cash (that I'm not going to spend on groceries!) and my Grammy and Papa called and sang as always! Megan got me some gardening supplies so I can have a garden in our new yard!! I'm so excited!!! Carolyn got me an awesome scented diffuser - which I actually almost bought at Gordman's that day too! Poor thing got a headache trying to find the best scent! Aaron was great with gifts! He got me a really nice mouse for my laptop, a book I've been really wanting called Plato and a platypus walk into a bar (it's a humor approach to Philosophy), Age of Empires!! and a Furminator so we can brush Quincy better! :) It was a nice birthday :)
Some other big news... for those of you who don't know yet... my dentist was working on some continuing education and contacted Aaron about being his patient for his class! My amazing husband passed the opportunity over to me and I got to get the smile I've always wanted!!!! My teeth have always hindered my confidence and I am SO thrilled with this new change!!!
I got temporaries put in a month ago and I got my permanent new smile on April 18 - a day after my birthday! (Talk about a birthday present!!)
Here's a picture to show you the differences from original, to temps, to final!
Quick update on the house... we have a moving day! MAY 16! So if you're in the area and available to help us out, we're thinking 8am-12pm. We'll meet at our apartment...927 Bradley St Apt 2C.
