My neice turned 4 last week and when I asked her what she'd like for her birthday, she told me she wanted something "purple and sparkly."
So there were my marching orders! It was a big improvement though, compared to her Christmas present request which was "A big girl thing--something that moves." Try asking the people at Wal-Mart where THAT is located ;)
I got her press-on nails with princess images and glitter. Yeah. She's so going to be my new BFF.
I may get to see a friend or two this weekend, but I doubt it. I'll probably focus on the family, which is just fine with me. I am excited about how excited THEY are to see me, and I'm glad I am making a real effort to get there every couple of months. It helps make it seem like less of a distance, and I still get all my perks of living in the city while remaining connected to what's happening there.
In the meantime, I have someone here who makes me smile. And that's enough for me.

you said "focus on the family." I feel like I don't know you at all. ;)
Oh, girl! I am so thrilled! A sweet man to hold hands with, and babies to cuddle. Enjoy your weekend!
