Saturday was great. So relaxing and fun. Rick, Kimbri, and I got up and ate breakfast. I started a load of Kimbri's laundry. Then I realized it was my last day to use my coupon for a haircut that I'd gotten in my email. It was for $4 off so it made my hair cut only cost $8. Let's just say that I have been wanting a haircut for a loooooooong time. The last time I got it cut was on my birthday last year...so in other words, like over 15 months ago. And the time before that it had been nearly two years since getting my hair cut.
So, Rick so kindly volunteered to watch Kimbri and I called in for an appointment for that same morning. I hesitated leaving since it was a Saturday morning that we had together as a family but Rick is so supportive and just said something like, "Alina, you have been wanting a hair cut for so long. Go ahead and I'll watch Kimbri." So I hopped in the shower, not washing my hair of course, since they wash it there, and then I was on my way.
It was so fun! Obviously I don't get my hair cut often enough. It was so relaxing to get my hair washed, dried and cut and just chat with the girl that was cutting my hair. I went to one of those hair school places, cause they are often times the cheapest. But it always worries me because you just never know how your hair is going to turn out. I've tried a few different hair schools and have had some great experiences and some terrible, so it was a shot in the dark...but I was really ready to have a change! I felt like the ends of my hair were starting to get so damaged and dead. So I decided to really cut it! And it turned out being a little shorter than I had originally expected but I like it. I think it will take some getting used to but I love the change. And hair always grows back, right?
When I got home Rick said that Kimbri played pretty good, as long as he was right there with her, following her around the house, from room to room playing:) I know what he means. He said he just followed her with one of his textbooks and was able to get a little homework reading done while she was playing so that was good! We spent the afternoon together and Kimbri took a nice little nap.
Later that afternoon, Rick's cousin, Shelby and and her husband Rue, came to visit. They are from Arizona and it was great to see them! I think it's been since our wedding since I've seen them! I guess Rick saw them when he went to AZ for the Del Sol Ragnar but they hadn't seen Kimbri since she had been born so it was extra fun for them to get to see her! And they are expecting a little boy in December! I'm so excited for them. It will be fun to have little boys so close in age to each other!
After they left my mom showed up at our house so that her and I could leave and go to the Relief Society broadcast together! This was the second time in one day that I left Kimbri home with Rick! I don't know that that's ever happened before. It was kind of a weird feeling for me to be the one leaving and to wave goodbye to Kimbri as I walked out the door. So often it's Kimbri and I waving to Rick as he leaves the house. It was a really great thing, though, to get to go to the broadcast and just sit there and listen. So many good things were said! The talk that President Eyring gave especially hit me because of the story about his daughter that had her baby 15 weeks early. That's exactly the point in pregnancy that I'm at right now, and I can't imagine having a baby that early, so little and fragile. His talk really made me want to go and serve someone! It was a great talk!
When the broadcast was over we went to Olive Garden. Sundee invited my mom and I to go with her and the girls, Jessica, Cosette, and Shelby, so we all met there for dinner. It was soooo yummy! And the smoothies were delicious. Having a girls night out was really so fun! It was great to talk and laugh and be together as family and friends!!
Sunday was fabulous, too. We don't have church until 1pm so we always have all morning to just relax and slowly get ready for the day. But 1pm church has its pros and cons. Yes, you have time in the morning but then church is right during Kimbri's nap time!!! Which makes church extra hard, especially for Rick, because he is the one that has her for the last two hours of church because I'm the primary pianist. So, yesterday she went the whole day with only a very short 20-25 minute nap during priesthood. Wow. she was a tired girl by the time night time hit!
Right after church we went down to Salem to have dinner with the Stone family since Shelby and Rue were still in town. So we got to visit them again which was way fun! And we'll even get to see them again when we go to Arizona for Rick's medical school interview at A.T. Still in Mesa! So that will be fun too! Sundee made a delicious dinner and I learned that Mitch made the brownies for dessert! Go Mitch! We also went on a ride of Payson Canyon that evening while the Bishops Youth Discussion was going on at their home for about an hour. All the fall colors are soooo beautiful! I can't even believe that it's already October. Oh how the time flies.
And of course, a picture of Kimbri all happy and ready for church!
