I love birthdays!

Yesterday was such a great day. Tom and I left Goldsboro around 10:30 yesterday morning to head to Cary for my family birthday celebration. We got to my parents house and had some lunch, and then my mom took me to get my hair did where shegets her hair did. That salon was seriously like a sitcom. Everybody was talking to each other across the room while all the cutting, coloring, and perming was going on. When I first walked in, they thought I was there to get anupdo for PROM. I was like...um,I'm 25...(I mean, do I really look that young??). So I sit down with my stylest and she asks me how long it's been since I've cut my hair. I sheepishly
uttered, "uh...almost a year". I swear the whole place got silent and everyone gasped. It is however, sadly true. If you've seen me lately you know that my hair looks like a horse's mane. So needless to say, it took a long time for her to do my hair, but I LOVE IT! I would attach a pic, but that would be awkward.
So after my hair was beautified, my mom and I headed off to Crabtree for some shopping times. I needed to get some new clothes for our month long stint at Windy Gap coming up. If you really know me, then you know that I'm not a big shopper, but I got so lucky yesterday! I found everything I needed and in a relatively short amount of time. By the way, the Gap has great stuff right now: you should go check it out.
After my shopping list had been crossed off, mom and I met up with the rest of my family at The Cheesecake Factory. It was soo good, but of course way too much food (I really had to unbutton my pants as soon as we got in the car). Everyone was there: mom, dad, Tom, my older brother, his wife Tanya, and their babyKyleigh, my younger brother Alex, and his girlfriend Jen. That's the whole crew. Kyleigh was cracking us up the whole time. She was dancing to the music and would freeze with one hand up in the air and a serious face. It was hilarious....I think my brother's going to post the video onyoutube. I'll attach the link if he does.
Then Tom and I headed back to Goldsboro, where we pulled out the couch bed and watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on TV. I mean, is anybody as excited as I am about the new movie? I LOVE Indiana Jones!
So that wraps up my wonderful "birthday" (my actually birthday is Tuesday). It couldn't have been better. It's gonna be sad when I get too old for my parents to make birthdays a big deal anymore.
