Happy Birthday to Me! ... a little early

My birthday is the day after Thanksgiving this year.  Since it's always too crazy with Thanksgiving, we have always celebrated early or occasionally late.  So it usually turns into a week or more celebration.  This year is no different.  We started celebrating with lunch at school last Friday, with the Thanksgiving craziness we got it out of the way early.  Then my mom is taking me shopping in the "big" city Saturday.  When Farmboy mentioned my present had arrived in the mail, I got a bit excited!  He told me before it came that I'd have to wait until the day.  Then yesterday when it arrived, he said I could pick when I opened my gift.  So of course, I immediately ripped it open!

He got me an iphone!  Yay!  Now after school I'm headed to my parents to steal their internet.  I'll get it all set up so I can play with my new toy.  :) 

Sister-in-law news

My sister-in-law is now engaged!  Yay!  This is Farmboy's sister, very farmboyish herself.  You can't tell that girl not to do something... like climb all over my roof... if the guys are doing said thing.  Me, I'm not anything like that.  There are certain things(lots of things) that are meant to be done by the boys!  That's not her philosophy.  So, I'm so happy for her to find a guy who's strong enough to not get freaked by that.  I still think my proposal story's way cooler, but he did a good job.  Happy for her, and ready to start helping with planning.
