Sweet Southern Pearl

“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? ”      ~Dr. Seuss   YES, today is Dr. Seuss's birthday (and I'm going to see The Lorax tonight). BUT it is also my sweet little sister's thirteenth birthday. HOW did it get so late so soon?!? Thirteen years ago right now, I was with my dad and brother and grandmothers and we were all at the hospital waiting for Ashley to arrive.  I was ten years old. I remember that at about this time, we were in the cafe area and I was munching on a grilled cheese sandwich and drinking pink lemonade.  It was a Tuesday, and I was glad to be out of school.  It was the most exciting day of my life.  I had wanted a little sister for five years, and I had prayed almost every night for one. {FYI I'm almost in tears right now hahah} As we waited in the waiting room, I was getting anxious,...

Well today (I'm still considering it to be Sunday because I haven't gone to bed yet) was my 23rd birthday, and it was amazing!

And the gifts they gave me were great. My sister had picked out some really adorable stuff for me, and even bought some if it with her own money!

I've been pretty busy...Monday night, my sister, Zach, and I went to the Dixie Classic Fair.  The fair is a must every year, and most people that I know go.  It's just a tradition.  It makes everyone feel like a kid again (which isn't hard for me haha).  I was worried that it was raining on the way there, but shortly after we arrived, it stopped, to our relief.  We had a great time :) Also on Monday, I went to the dentist and found out that I'll have to have my wisdom teeth out over Christmas break :/ Oh well, can't say I didn't see that one coming! haha my mouth hurts so bad :( They took a bunch of x-rays, and that really ir...
