Today you need to come over to my blog, if you are reading this from a reader, so you can see what my ultra-sweet (and light years cooler than me) sister-in-law Maye gave me for my birthday - a new blog look! It's so cute and happy. I love the colors. And she knows me so well, incorporating the Eiffel Tower and a piano keyboard. It's funny that she knows me so well, even though we have never met - she lives in warm, wonderful Hawaii and I live in cold, snowy Utah. We will meet, hopefully, one day. You know, since we're sisters and all.
There is only one "problem," and if you are slightly computer illiterate like me, you may not know how to fix it. I use Firefox, and I don't know how to delete my temporary files, cache, and cookies. So when I look at it on my computer, I see the cute header and blue background, but I don't see the new font on the titles, and I'm not sure if there is a favicon or not. But when I look at my blog on my beloved iPad, I see all of that great stuff. Stupid computer. (I'm sure it's not me that is stupid.)
So, today is November 9. This reminded me of a time years ago, way back when I was in high school. (Yes, I'm old. My kids remind me of this regularly. Aidan was singing a song last night that talked about "way back in 1983." I was seven. To him, that is ancient history.) Anyway, my best friend from high school's birthday was November 9. Even though we were in the same grade, she was one year and four days older than me. So our sophomore year, she turned 16 four days before I turned 15. (I skipped kindergarten.) That was an awesome year, since she could drive us around wherever we wanted to go, but it was also a horrible year because I was the youngest out of all of our friends and couldn't drive or date (well, ahem, technically, cough cough) until November of my junior year. In fact, I had to take driver's ed with a whole bunch of sophomores when I was a junior. What a tragedy! (It really felt like the end of the world at the time.)
So, to my friend Becca, Happy Birthday to you!
Wednesday, November 9

It's perfect! What a thoughtful present:) Happy birthday week, Erin.
I also have a sister in law that I have never met. She is Rick's half sister and he met her once when he was a kid. We have gotten to know her on Facebook and hopefully one day we will get to meet in her person. However, she lives in Upper Michigan. Not nearly as exotic as Hawaii....
Cute new look! Love it!!

I'm jealous of that keyboard :)
Happy Birthday!
Your blog is cute cute CUTE! It's so cute and so you!
I LOVE IT!! So, so cute, and perfect for you!
And I remember all those "this is the end of my life" feelings. Evie has them now and again already. I don't hesitate to tell her that in a few years she won't care about those things AT ALL. I don't remember my mom ever "consoling" me like that, but I'm sure it's annoying. I'm also pretty sure I'm going to keep saying until she either believes it or finds out that it's true for herself.
Love the new blog look!! Perfect. :)
