Things I like Saturday (or wednesday.....) and other good things.

I would like to introduce you to my new friend Shelia. Shelia was a Birthday/Anniversary/Christmas gift. My birthday was on Friday.

I love Shelia. She has helped me sew things already. My last machine (never even had a name, sad) worked well, but he was OLD. Stopped sewing backwards and then stopped winding the bobbin. It was time for a new friend.

I feel a bit spoiled at this gift. But I have a feeling it will last me a good long time. I'm excited for all the new things we will learn together. Also: being able to backtack. It's awesome!

So Friday was my birthday. I am proudly 34 years old. I used to think that was starting to get old. I don't feel old yet so I guess I was wrong. I had a great day. I did have to work, but that's ok. One of the students I work with has the same birthday, so we celebrated. I brought treats. Then that night Chris and I went out to eat at Little America at the Steakhouse there. It was soooooooo good. Definitely a special occasion type restaurant for sure!

I feel like I've learned a lot in my old age. I'm learning how not to care about what people think. I've learned that stressing and worrying about things doesn't help. I'm much more calm. I've learned that even though I'm a wife and a mom and a daughter; I'm also a woman. One who is smart and creative, one who has good ideas and is fun to be around. I like that I can do things that make a difference.
