August 5th

Well, today is my birthday. I am 31 years old... I really feel old sometimes. I wish I didn't .

Vallerie made me the most awesome present! I actually got it early because she couldn't wait to give it to me. (Thank you Eddie) So here it is!

Eddie said that she did it all herself. I don't know where to hang it though. I want it to be somewhere that I will see it every day. I'll figure it out.

This Saturday I am going to get my hair colored. Hopefully it will turn out ok.

Last Friday when Eddie went fishing, Vallerie and I went down to the park and went to the river area. There was a nice bank with tons of rocks. Vallerie had a blast throwing them in the water. I got some nice pictures of that. She didn't want to leave though and the only way I could get her to go was to tell her we would get to walk on the bridge again. Even then she still was not happy we had to go. I think we'll go back soon though. I want to take my metal detector there and see if I can find anything.

This Wednesday starts Old Settlers! I can't wait. I love it! I don't know if we'll go every night, but I think we'll go at least twice. Last year Vallerie liked going on the rides. I remember Eddie made me get on a couple and I got a little motion sick. Hopefully that doesn't happen this year. I just want to get out there and play some games! Maybe they'll have the quarter game. That one is awesome.
