All You Need is Love!

I woke up this morning to footage of the September 11th attacks on TV. It's hard to believe it has been 8 years. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I heard the news on the radio while driving my yellow Mustang to school. I thought it was a joke. Then when I got to my first period class (Drama Tech), Ms. Benson had the footage live on TV. I was shocked! While we watched the footage, the second plane hit... live. I know I will never forget that day. I am remembering the families who lost their loved ones 8 years ago today.

Today my sister brought me a painting she did for the salon. It's really cute! The "V" in Love is a pair of scissors. Cute huh?

Tonight Gary and I played games with my parents, Brooke and Jonathan and Brooke's parents. We had such a good time. It's neat to have friends whose parents are also friends. I hope we can do it again some time.

Tomorrow is the Easter Seals 5k race. I am hoping to finish in under 34 minutes. My last 5k race I finished in 37 minutes. Ideally I would finish in 30, but I have never run 10 minute miles, so we'll see. I hope the rain holds off so there will be a good turn out. Wish me luck!

Busy bee.

Worked until 8 tonight. This week has been so busy at work! I'm not complaining, it's always good to be busy. After work we did something we love to do. We drove through Mexico Chiquito, got a large cheese dip, and 2 large fruit punch drinks and ate in the parking lot of the Kroger next door. Exciting huh?

We finished painting the bathroom tonight. It looks so much more clean. In Gary's words: "it looks pretty good for a hairdresser and a sales rep!"

A woman's work is never done!

It is rare that I get to just chill on my day off. Today was no different. I got up early and headed over to help Gary decorate his office. We hung some shelves and put up some pictures. It is starting to look more cozy, but we still need a few things to finish it off.

After helping him, I came home and got to work on odd and end jobs around the house. That took me well into the evening. Gary repainted the ceiling in our bathroom. We have had a bit of a mold problem with our bathroom being so small. We think we have it under control now. After putting in a fan, we decided to buy some mold free paint and re-coat everything. I realize more everyday how much work it is having a home!
