Dalmatians, Fire Trucks, & Celebrity News!

The past couple of days have been really nice.

Savannah and I got our hair cut yesterday.  Hers was her back-to-school haircut and mine was just because! She really cut a lot off and she says it feels great! Mine is layered now and it does feel a lot better and lighter.

It is hard to believe my baby sister is going into her last year of elementary school this year, and by the end of the school year she will be an aunt.  Savannah is really excited, and for the first time since she started school she will have one of my teachers! I have been waiting for this since she was in Kindergarten, but most of my elementary teachers retired or moved schools before Savannah could get to them.  Tomorrow is her open house, so for us that means summer vacation is officially over.

After we got our haircuts yesterday, we went out to lunch.  Hwy 55 was Jordan's pick and it was pretty good.  After lunch we took Jordan to work and we spent the evening with grandma and grandpa at their house.  We arrived in time to watch The Young & The Restless, and of course we had to talk about it like the people are real and we know them!

While the story was on, grandpa sneaked to the back of the house and came back with presents for Savannah and I.  She got a fashion design book, and I got the most adorable little onesies, bibs, and a blanket for the baby.  Everything matches and it is the cutest little set with dalmatians and fire engines on everything.  This is a special gift since grandpa was a fireman and we have always connected through our love of dalmatians.  They have always been my favorite breed and are well known as fire station dogs. Don't tell my Rachel, but beagle/sheltie mixes are my second favorite. :)


Today, in celebrity news, Jill (Duggar) Dillard and her new husband, Derek, announced their pregnancy! That means that the first Duggar daughter to have a baby will have her baby the same month we welcome our little baby! I thought this news was really neat.
