My 28th Birthday

Yesterday was my 28th birthday, and though this is not how I had expected to spend my birthday, I had a great time. Monday night we had my brother Geoff and Janene, Megan, Ben, Mara, plus Debbie and Dan came over for dinner and cake. Mom had put together a lovely slide show of all my birthdays and Dad told the story of my birth.

Tuesday I worked a half-day then met up with Mom to go to lunch with Debbie. We had a fantastic lunch of soup and sandwiches at Gourmandies in downtown Salt Lake. After lunch we had a great time going through the local antique shops and as we waited for my hair appointment.

I decided to change my hair. I was not willing to cut it because it is just so long, I love it. So we just trimmed it and then decided to go reddish. I needed a little sass in my life. One of the guys I work with said I look like Jean Grey on X-Men, without the attitude.

i like the red . . . they did a good job with it! i've been tempted to do that with my hair as well . . . just not enough to actually spend the money on it. ;)
