Homecoming with Lindy & an 18th Birthday

So, this year in a last minute turn of events we were able to surprise Lindy for her 18th birthday and the weekend of Homecoming.  I was really excited to be there for all the festivities, because Lindy is my baby sister.  We are 11 years apart so I left for college just before she turned 8 years old.  Because of this I have always felt like I missed out on lots of things that a big sister should be a part of.  My sisters are my best friends and from the time I went to college I hated missing out on their lives and that hasn't changed at all in the past 10 years.  I must say though, that my family does a pretty good job of staying connected.  Its probably one of the most important things to us.  So, back to Lindy's weekend.  :)

Lindy had really been stressing over what to do with her hair.  She had finally made an appointment to go get it done at a salon by a friend.  However, because my mom knew we were coming she cancelled the appointment, but forgot to tell me.  So, the night before I found out I was doing Lindy's hair the next day...and her friend's!  So, thanks to Pinterest we found some styles we liked, crossed our fingers, prayed a little, and took the plunge.  The final result:
 Lindy loved it!  Thats all that really matters.  I was quite impressed with myself as well.  I can't really french braid that well and for this I did a french fish tail braid, which I have NEVER done before.  It all worked out though and she looked beautiful!  I think Ryan might have been a little impressed with my work-that's saying something. 

She's a hot one!

So, happy 18th birthday Lind!  You are an awesome young lady with such an exciting future ahead of you!  And I'm glad I get to be a part of it!  Love ya!
