Jen & me

Today was my Mom's Birthday! She's so amazing and I still hope I can be just like her someday. Even though we're states away, we still seem so close and talk nearly every day... sometimes several times a day! She 's the most thoughtful, patient, loving, & service-oriented person I know and we all just love her so much! Kaleb called and sang her his own version of Happy Birthday, and I threw a Bunco party on her special day. Too bad she couldn't be there!

Bunco was a hoot, as usual. We had a St. Patrick's Day theme complete with green food (veggie tray, spinach dip, shamrock pistachio cookies, chips & green salsa, limeade, & potato candy) and a dress up contest on the side. Whoever wore the most green got an extra prize. My 'copa girls are a ton of fun, but I had NO idea how into it they'd get...11/12 of us were in green. My friend, Bobyn, wore SEVEN layers of green including painted face, hands, arms, and a green comb in hair (you know how black people wear picks)! She won, of course...hysterical! Terrell took 2nd place with green all over, awesome retro green jewelry, and 6 week baby Talissa in green as well. Jenna was a close runner up with head to toe green, including jewelry & hair clip. The game was great... we got in 3 full rounds & Chrissy had a record 5 (I think) buncos, with Robyn close behind. Lots of laughter had by all!

Before the game started, I asked Jen for a bang consult. I've been considering a "side-swoop" bang for quite a while, but never really acted on it. I have such thin hair, I didn't want bangs to leave me hairless everywhere else, and of course I can't live w/o my ponytail. Well Jen and the girls convinced me that I could pull it off, and so on a semi-whim, bangs were cut! I'm still getting used to them, but love the change. I haven't had bangs in YEARS!!!

Thanks to Jen for my new look & my bunco babes for a night full of fun, fun, fun!

    I love the bangs! Aren't they fun? I cut bangs for the first time last summer and I love them. What a fun bunch of girlfriends! I need me a group like that!
