Celebrate!

Just like every other year, the whole world celebrates my birthday because it is on New Year's Eve!! Shilo had to go to work, so we didn't do a whole lot of celebrating. He did however get me an AWESOME present. I got a new sewing machine!! I've been wanting to try sewing for a while now, but I've never had a machine of my own. When I was younger my mom would always try to teach me how to sew, but I was never interested. I'm sure she was shocked to hear that I wanted a machine of my own.

I was able to find a $5 sewing machine at D.I. to use as a trade in for a $100 discount on my new sewing machine. Pretty awesome, huh?!

My first sewing project was turning an old onesie that had broken snaps into a t-shirt. So basically all I did was sew a hem. It was easy once I figured out how to wind the bobbin and thread the machine. It didn't turn out perfect, but I'm sure I'll get better with practice :)

Shilo also picked up dinner at Costa Vida because I didn't feel like cooking dinner on my birthday. It was delicious! Since he didn't make me a cake I told him that he could at least put some candles in some cookies and sing to me. So he did just that. And it was perfect :)

I also enjoyed receiving text messages, Facebook posts, and phone calls from friends and family wishing me a Happy Birthday. Thanks! 2012 was a great year and we are excited for the new adventures we will have in 2013. We are especially looking forward to the birth of our baby girl. Only 4 more weeks to go!

Happy New Year!
