Birthday Hair

My parents came for my birthday and we all enjoyed a wonderful evening.  Burger Jones was great and afterwards my hubby surprised me with a carriage ride around Nicollet Island.  My parents just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary and my hubby decided to treat us all to a carriage ride.  My son was thrilled to "ride with the horse".  The fresh snow made everything look white, clean and beautiful.  Afterward we came home for some cake and ice cream. 

I washed my hair and applied my Eco Styler gel.  This look is becoming my new favorite and go to style.  Check out the pictures below.

I just blew out my candles.

Not the best picture,  but how I wore my hair.

My curls.
Everything was wonderful until the end of the night.  My father was experiencing some pain in his leg and when he was getting ready for bed he noticed how swollen it was.  My father has a history of blood clots so this really concerned my parents.  At 1am my hubby ended up driving my parents to the emergency room where my father was diagnosed with another blood clot.  The good news is that he didn't need to be admitted into the hospital, the bad news is that the new medicine he needs to take costs $2000 for a month supply.  My parents only got enough medicine for today and tomorrow, basically enough until my father can see his own doctor.  Please send prayers to my parents.  Until next time...
Blessings!

    1. Thank you for the prayers. My grandmother (dad's mom) died because of a blood clot causing a stroke, so this has been a concern for a long time.

  4. Jen when was your birthday? Mine was yesterday! My husband's is today.

    It's so cold we are not going out. 17 degrees!

    We plan to celebrate at the end of the week when it's supposed to warm up a bit. At least 40...one can only hope.
