I'm 28 yrs old now!

I picked a bad week to be MIA on the blog. Lots to cover: pinterest things, hair cut, birthday, days off work, visits with friends. See what I mean?

First things first - I turned 28 on Thursday! I hate to admit this but I actually had to refer to my "27 While 27" list all year just to remember how old I was. 27 was just a weird age that didn't really come with anything exciting. I think 28 is a pretty good number. Not *too* close to 30 and not too far away that I feel like I'm super young.

Oh and I got my hair done on Wednesday so I must show you that first:

YAY for thinned out hair. It'll be thick again next week though.

He did that on purpose.

I had a wonderful birthday this year. I took off of work on Thursday and Friday. Thursday my brother Matt and I went to Carowinds for some fun. The actual car ride to and from was just as fun as the time we spent at the park...which was a grand total of an hour and a half. (round trip car ride was 3 hours...) It was just TOO dang hot to stay any longer than that. We rode all of 3 rides and left. Here is a little gem from the road trip. You're welcome.

I went to dinner with Justin and Madi at my traditional choice for my birthday dinner - Olive Garden. YUM! Madi and Justin did a great job on my presents - a gorgeous necklace from Handpicked from Madi and a pretty pink purse from Justin. Love them!

She doesn't like the camera lately.

Feels pretty good to be 28! Oh and about that 27 While 27 list....ummm, some things may need to be extended to 28. Whoops!

:) I'll fill y'all in on the other things this week. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
