August 5, 2009--Carpet, birthday, laptop, St.Louis, and haircut

Last week we got our carpet installed upstairs. We put a deep emerald green carpet in the bedrooms and a gray berber in the hallway and on the stairway. It's been so good to move everything upstairs and spread out a little.

Sarah's birthday party was last Saturday. She's ten now. We had two of her friends over for cake and ice cream, and took them them swimming. I took Tim and Rachel down the waterslide several times and they really enjoyed that.

Our laptop's hard drive went out last week, too. The bad thing was that all of our pictures were on it, so except for the ones I have on Facebook, I have lost all of my pictures. The hard drive was still under warranty, so at least it didn't cost too much to get it fixed, but it's disappointing to lose all those pictures. Now that we have DSL I can put a lot more pictures online and hopefully I won't lose them again.

Last Sunday we went to St. Louis with our friends for a Rock the River tour with Franklin Graham. We saw Skillet and several other bands play. They were really good. We had wanted to go to New York this week but Erick couldn't afford to take off work, so we figured St. Louis would be something we could do instead.

I got my hair cut today. I had won a free haircut at the street fest we had played at back in June, and had lost the coupon. I finally found it a couple days ago when I was unpacking boxes. It's not as short this time--I had her cut it longer layers so I could still pull it back and get it out of my face when I want to.
