SO exciting!!....

I just found out my early Valentine's present!! I am getting fresh highlights and a pedicure tonight and whatever else I need done!!! Charlie told me he is watching the kids so I can go and do this; WOW!!!! My sister(she is a beautician(is that the word?) is going to do it for me and I love the way she does my hair. It's been awhile since we have done pedicures but she used to do a great job! lol.

I am so proud of my sisters. Tammy is doing so well in beauty school and it's just nice to see her so happy. It's amazing how smart she is and how good she is at what she does. I will have to take pictures of my hair and show it off. I am so looking forward to being together and laughing and just being sisters. :) Crystal, my other sister, blows me away with the wonderful job she is doing as a wife and homeschooling mom. She is amazing and such an inspiration to me. I can't wait until I get to go up and spend some time with her and the fam! :) LOVE YOU,BOTH!!!!!

My husband is just blowing me away this week. Last night he brought home a rose bush for me(I would rather plant them outside and enjoy them all spring and summer than to watch them die within days) and a new muffin tin (I needed this SO bad) and some heart shaped Reese's cups (my fave) and a little bear that says "Hug me". :) Today, he told me about this!!! And, tomorrow we are eating a wonderful supper cooked by him and watching a movie after the kids are in bed, YAY!!!

What am I doing for him, you ask? Well, he got a new nail gun (he's been wanting forever) and I wrote him a long romantic letter and he has been going to the chiropractor and getting adjustments. Also, a few other things that I am not talking about!!! :) lol.

Anyway, I LOVE him so much and he is just so amazing as a husband and a father. He is becoming such a wonderful man after God's heart and I am SO SO SO proud of my baby!!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful Valentine's Day & weekend!!!

Love,
Julie
