Today is my HAPPY DAY! Happy BIRTHDAY that is!

September 9th

Here is a funny memory…When I was little my family would move each year over the summer (my Dad flipped houses) so by the time I would start school in September, I didn’t know anybody to share the excitement with them that it was my birthday! Obviously because they didn’t know me they really could care less that it was my birthday but by the time we had been in school for a few months and I had made some friends it was a “big deal” on their birthday. But now I have family and friends who DO care about my Birthday it’s nice to have a day where I can SMILE with loved ones around and have some fun.

My plans for today are going to my *NEW* school, the school of Cosmetology… for my second day of classes in the program! The evening of my birthdays Jeff always likes to treat me to a restaurant of choice for a yummy dinner and romantic night together.
