This past weekend Luke spoiled me...he really, really did. My birthday is tomorrow (monday, the 28th) and so he decided to celebrate with a birthday weekend. We relaxed most of Saturday and then he and Connel went to get my treadmill. YAHOO!
Then, we went to Nuevo Acapulco for dinner and it was DIVINE!! Oh, sooo good! (We were worried that we wouldn't find a good or even GREAT Mexican restaurant when we moved...we were wrong!) We do highly recommend this restaurant. The service was SUPERB and the food was a.) Really YUMMY! b.) HUGE portions c.) Chips & salsa TO DIE FOR!
Afterwards we decided we wanted to go to the mall and had forgotten our umbrella stroller, so we drove over to Wal-Mart and picked one up. We went over to the mall and started window shopping, then we went into JcPenney and I got 2 pairs of shorts (Buy one, get one for $.88) and 2 shirts (same deal!). So great...and then Luke said, "whatcha want to do now?" I told him I wanted to get my haircut. He was a little surprised since I don't usually get my haircut done in a mall...we get a bit LEARY. Well, I wasn't waiting one more day and I didn't want to have to make an appointment, yadda, yadda, yadda...so I did it. At 7:15p.m. last night. I went into a salon/spa and just did it.
Finally, I feel free again!! She cut 8 inches off the bottom and almost a foot when she gave me layers at the top. (The cosmetologist was freakin' out a little when I told her what I wanted...but I told her I had had short hair before..actually, even shorter, and told her to keep going!!) That seriously was the greatest feelin' EVER.
Ok, we got home, put the kids to bed, and started the finishing touches on our talks. The topic: The Gospel is Restored. Great topic, but hard to narrow down. We thought it went well, but it made it all the more worth it when the sister missionaries came over and said that their investigator was really touched and impressed. Good thing we didn't scare her away!
Today, yes on the Sabbath, we put the treadmill together. It weighs 199.0lbs (no joke) which is on the heavier side, so it was a bit of a bear...but will be so WONDERFUL to have!

So thanks to my wonderful husband for a FABULOUS birthday!! I know the presents are just material things, but he was thoughtful enough to really nail down (haha) what I really wanted this year! (New computer monitor, treadmill, clothes, haircut, and camera!) Thanks honey!

Hello Kirkham family! Okay so I actually have been stalking you for a few weeks now. I am glad that you left a comment. I have been contemplating leaving one on yours, but I am always afraid people won't remember us so then they'll just think I am some weirdo! Anyhoo I can't believe how big your kids have gotten! They are so cute. I love your new hair cute. Isn't cutting your hair so liberating? I added you as a friend so feel free to do the same! I am so glad that we get to keep in touch now.
Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a great weekend! Your hair looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it! And, I'm so jealous of your treadmill! It looks awesome too! Have a great birthday tomorrow!

Happy Birthday! I love your hair cut and the treadmill. Yipee for new clothes! I also got my hair cut on saturday...but I was not as brave as you were :) Just a trim and some sweeping bangs (which she screwed up mind you).
I love your Hair.....Cute CUTE CUTE!!!! I am happy to hear that Luke spoiled you, you deserve it!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!
Happy Birthday!!! Hope it is wonderful!!! Love the hair cut too!
Happy Birthday, Katie!!! It sounds like a great weekend! What fun! I love your hair too :) I recently just cut off a bunch also. It does feel so good! I think you got the same computer monitor as us. Samsung? Really BIG?! And congrats on the treadmill! I LOVE my treadmill! Happy Birthday!
Let me start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Wish we were close by to celebrate with ya.
Secondly....I don't think I've received that many presents on my birthday EVER!! Treadmill, new monitor, haircut, clothes, AND a camera. Boy, I guess Luke's salary went up a WHOLE lot.;) I'm a tad jealous. =) Anyway, I'm glad you had such a wonderful birthday weekend.
And your hair looks AWESOME!!!
Happy Birthday! BTW, I LOVE the hair! I'm struggling to grow mine out b/c I've never had it longer than my shoulders, but when I see people get cute short cuts, I just want to cut it off again! I love it though and I'm glad you had a good birthday!
Katie, your hair is just adorable! I LOVE it. You are such a beautiful woman and person. I'm so glad you have such a sweet husband to shower you with gifts and spend time with you for your birthday. You deserve it!! Love ya.

Very cute hair, very cute family. Very intimidating treadmill! Good luck and Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Katie. It sounds like it was a good one!
And I love the haircut. You look hot. I think you should post a before and after picture so that we can all get the full effect!
HAPPY BELATED BDAY!!! I'm jealous of your new treadmill! I've been trying to get Kent to buy me one for AGES and of course he refuses! ONE DAY!!! OH! TOTAL CUTE HAIR!!!! I LOVE IT! It looks really good! I want to cut me hair short..well shorter not TOTALLY short cuz I don't think i'd look that great like you do but I'm SOOO nervous! Glad you were brave especially since it turned out SOO great!
It sounds like you had the ideal birthday! :) I love your new haircut, it's nice to chop it off for the warmer weather months. Thanks for your prayers, we appreciate it a lot!
Katie, thanks so much for leaving a comment. Like Michelle, I've been looking at your blog for awhile but held off saying hi (for the same reason). You are a very lucky lad. Glad that you had a good birthday, and like everyone else has said, your hair cut is super cute.
