Let's try this again....
Learned a good lesson - be careful not to close your blog window because you lose your writing.
It's my birthday weekend. Yes that means I'm getting older but really that doesn't bother me. I enjoy growing up and gathering wisdom. I look forward to all of the lessons life still has in store for me. I told my sister the they night that I'm aging like a fine wine.
Thursday night I came home from work. It was a busy chaotic week. It was meeting after meeting and so much change and I was exhausted. I think we often forget that we can slow down in all of the chaotic moments and just meditate. I forgot that and was exhausted. But when I got home I was met with such an amazing display of love.
Rolf made me a candlelit bubble bath with wine, music, cupcake and my kindle. I am an obsessive reader. I enjoy YA series and have an expansive imagination. I am easily lost in a good series and he knows this. Seeing these things made my heart swell. Not because of the "stuff" but because he cares enough to listen to me and try to help me relax, this being the only way he knew how. I think we often forget, in those moments, that we need to stop and really just let it all in and feel the overwhelming warmth of love.
Friday I worked half day and decided to surprise Rolf by getting my haircut. Why is that a big deal? I used to go to this girl at Regis Salon. Well she moved away and I no longer had a stylist. - no big deal right?!
Wrong- growing up my mom used to keep my hair cut very short. It made sad because I wanted long hair but she didn't like it long so she chopped it off regularly. So I do not trust people to cut my hair. Rewind to the past- in September I asked for hair stylist recommendations and received many. But one problem-me! I didn't know what to do or who to trust. So Friday I scheduled the appointment with one of my recommendations and caved. Drum roll please...
Rolf loved it. So much he wanted to try this amazing new salon too. Scissori - they are great. I used Bob and Rolf used Dori. Highly recommended. They are personable and honest. Which puts them high in my book.
So here we are on Saturday. We cut Rolf's hair and picked up my secret cake. I guess not supposed to see it until tomorrow. :) I am just so happy just to have quality time with my honey no matter what we are doing. But tonight we are off to Lincoln for dinner at Green Gateau and fun at the Corky Canvas. There's something symbolic about the fact that we're going to paint a picture tonight. The picture that starts out a blank canvas and become a beautiful blend of light and dark colors. The picture that we will display in the home we built and will forever remember this day.
It reminds me of how we built our life and continue to build our life together. I'm blessed beyond words and so tonight we dance like there's no one watching. ❤️
