{it's about time}

Yesterday I was out with friends, and I asked them about something I had been thinking about for a little while---getting my ears pierced! They of course I agreed that I should have it done, and so we spontaneously drove over to the mall (the 4 of us, and our 10 kids!).

We really were like teenagers again, picking out earrings, making sure they were straight, and taking pictures (and video...:)). It was so much fun, and I'm so glad they were there with me. I wouldn't have had it any other way!

I also decided I wasn't going to tell Rick, and wait and see how long it would take for him to notice. Well, he didn't end up doing too badly! He noticed this morning, and his first comment was about my new "bling bling". I love them so far, but it is still taking come getting used to. Every time I pass a mirror I do a double take!
