40 feels just like 39

For my birthday, I wanted to take Mat on a date to the new Family History Library downtown.  They close at 2 p.m. on Saturdays.  What?!  So we sat at the fountain on the plaza and talked and watched people.  It was perfect!  Then we went to Epic in Midvale and got awesome salads because that is all we can afford at Epic.  : )  Kari and family came over for dinner and treats tonight, then Mat "serenaded" me for my birthday.  He sang "Grow Old With Me" by John Lennon, one of my favorite songs.  The family has been awesome today!


My hair is growing in earnest.  It's probably a quarter inch long and thickening up nicely.  But it's not the right color.  See my twin?  Her's is red.  Mine?  Kind-of dark blondish.  I expected really light hair in the beginning.  Now, I look at myself and I think "What?!  Where did that come from?"  Your hair is so much a part of who you are.  It was quite traumatic to have to shave it off, now I just want to be me again.  It will take so long before I will have something resembling a hair style.  Argh.  Hey--I've got hats!  : )

Wow, Kim! Your hair really is growing back! I can see quite a bit of growth since we met in SLC. Let it grow back and get healthy. Then, you can color it whatever color you want.:)

Hey Kim I saw your post and couldn't help but tell you about my Daughter's brother in Law whose straight med blond hair came in black and kinky, I mean afro kinky! It was so strange! Don't worry though, I saw him a few weeks ago and his hair is completely back to the way it was before chemo. And, let me just say ARE YOU CRAZY! Home School? I couldn't possibly ever do it! My hat is off to you!
