hooray for anne!

okay, i am the first person to admit
when you quit smoking, although you
think you are going to get support from
others, you really don't. people don't
remember that you quit until you mention
it and THEN they say "oh, yea that's right,
good for you, how are you doing?"
blah~blah~blah. i quit over 4 years ago
(yay me!). my sister quit 5 months ago.
YESTERDAY!! i totally let this anniversary
slip! bad sister, BAD SISTER!!!
anne, i am so sorry that i didn't call
or anything! i am so proud of you!
i love you.

my lens arrives today...sooooo excited!

a former neighbor of mine is bringing
her daughter over for a birthday haircut.
this will be no ordinary haircut as
christy is donating her hair to locks
of love...the little sweetheart!
i think she's like 13. she's been waiting
a verrry long time for this. i look
forward to seeing them.
i'll see if it's okay that i post some
before and afters for tomorrow.

2 minnesota miracle hilton families today.
and the big, long awaited, much
anticipated MIRACLEKIDS triathlon is
tomorrow in chanhassen at lake ann park.
PLEASE pray that the rain will hold off
for all involved. altho' it's a "rain or
shine" type of event...no one wants
to swim, bike or run in the rain. :(

things have really cooled off around
here too lately. gary and i actually
had a little fire last night out front.
man that was nice. so quiet and peaceful.
i needed that. life has been quick
lately and i needed some slow time.
the high tomorrow will only be like 72.
opened all the windows last night...
it was glORious!

i JUST got my shipment from whitehouse.
i ordered images yesterday at noon.
these are from the demise i photographed
on wednesday evening.
thank you whitehouse custom colour for
getting them to me so quickly!
this family will be forever grateful.

have a wonderful day.
