It's Beginning to Rain

Of course, the weather can't stay nice and stable for too many days in a row. It's Texas...do we really expect anything else? I really expected the crazy weather to start yesterday. But, alas, we only had cloudy skies!

Eric and Whitney came down for the afternoon yesterday. It was great getting to see them. I touched up Whitney's highlights. Fun Times. They took Trent and Dylan home with them for the week. It is odd to see me and my older brothers as adults...but we are. Eric told us that it doesn't look like he will be deployed...Thank God! Their baby is due 8/14/2008. I was hoping for a Little One on my birthday...but I wouldn't wish that Whitney be over due by two weeks. I can share the month with the kid, though!

I got a washer and dryer this weekend. I would have never guessed that I would be so thrilled at receiving an appliance. And, believe it or not, I actually hooked everything up myself. Just call me the Maytag man! I had to hook the washer up to the water...the first go around, I didn't get the hoses screwed on good enough. When I turned the water on, I quickly learned that I had made a mistake. After I got the washer hooked up, I realized that I had the wrong plug on the dryer to fit the socket on the wall. You guessed right, I switched out the plug yesterday. Then I had to hook up the vent hose. I actually took the time to make sure the hose was hooked up. It took a while for me to get the round clasp tight enough on the vent. I got every hoked up, and I am happy to report that I washed and dried clothes last night. I love my jeans being fresh and warm from the dryer in the mornings.

I got the arrangement done for Granny's party. I think she will like it...it reminds me of Granny in a way. I bought a galvanized bucket type vase thing to hold the arrangement. It is very springy too! I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

This weekend will be a busy one! We have Granny's party on Saturday, then we come home that night to be back for our Easter program at church on Sunday. I am already tired thinking of how packed the weekend is gonna be.

I hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day. I had a pretty good one...I did a lot of hair...and it keeps going this week too. I am highlighting Lindsey's hair tonight..then I have Ivonda and Tamara on Wednesday night. I am grateful that I am able to do this to bring in a little extra income. I also like learning new techniques from my friend Dana and my roommate Brooke.

Well, I should probably get back to work. Have a great day!

I am incredibly proud of you, Mr. Maytag man!!!

I can't wait to see the arrangment. Any idea when you guys may be getting down there? I'm really wanting everything set up by 1:15.
