The Girls Came!

YEAH!!! The girls finally got to come back out to TX for Spring Break! 

We have been keeping them busy with Aggie games (football, softball, baseball and tennis too). Plus going to eat at some of Wayne's and mine favorite places! Both Kendall and Taylor agree, Chicken Oil has the best burgers ever! Payton is beside herself with her sisters here... she wakes up and says... "wake tayder." She has been showing the girls around to her favorite places too, the park, her little people in her room and we are going after everyone wakes up from their naps... to the bounce! This place has nothing but bounce houses... can you say... FUN! Payton loves her sisters!!! 

As many of you know, the death of my 20's was this month. The careless and resposibility free times have all come to an end... and so did my 11 yr. old Nissan Sentra. Dusty was his name, he and I drove through my college yrs. together. He was my little car that could, trusty and reliable. Well a few days after my birthday, he just gave up. So life to my 30's brought a new car... yes, gulp, a mini van! The responsible, for a family and runs to the grocery store kind of car. Yes friends, it is official, I am 30! 

But this mini van is no, average baby mobile! It is the coolest thing I have ever owned! Our new Chrysler Town and Country Signature Touring van is actually pretty darn cool. Room for 7, 13 cup holders (that is 1.75 for each person :) ), storage under the seats, a keyless entry, auto start from the keychain to cool the car in the summer, 3 DVD screens, 2 players, a spot for Wayne and the girls to plug in their Play Station, a backup camera, tailgating seats (or a baby changing station as I call it), a flash light built in, and the most awesome radio ever! The radio is an actual computer. I can save my CD's into the hard drive and never have the the CD with me again. It has Sirus radio, FM, AM, CD and DVD abilities. Needless to say, transportation is like 3rd on the list! 

It drives like a dream and has tons of safety featurs! Ladies and Gentleman, I welcome my 30's and can't wait to see what else they bring! 

If Only I Knew

Ok, last month I got my long hair cut short like Victoria Beckham's. Cute cut right! Well, my stylist was "very hungry," so she stated and the cut got a little messed up. By the time I got home, I had decided that it was not good. Thank God for my Mother's hidden talent, she is a closet stylist! So after an afternoon of deciding just where Mandie's hunger messed up my hair, Mom set her scissors to work and fixed my hair! Alright, now you are asking... what is the point to this blog? 

Well, yesterday I was in Target and saw a flat iron and decided to try it out. I have been using my large curl brush since I was in College and have never known any better way. I guess it is kind of like getting stuck in the "big bangs" style of the 90's or the "blue eye shadow" from the 80's. So, I took the leap of faith! Thanks to Todd and Michelle's birthday gift card... I now LOVE MY HAIR again! If only I knew the key to this more modern style was the flat iron!!! Welcome to 2008, right!
