Yesterday

Yesterday was just a whole bundle of things going on.
First thing, I decided to get my hair cut! I was sick of my long hair hanging on my head so I decided to get a new style. I had a few pictures of what I wanted and I was sooooo excited. I knew I wanted to go shorter, not short but just shorter. I usually don't care who cuts my hair but when it's a hair cut that's a big change, I want someone who knows what they're doing--so I found this nice spa and hair salon and scheduled my appointment. I told the stylist how short I wanted it (just barely below my shoulder) and she said if I went a little bit shorter I could donate my hair to Locks of Love. Well, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff and so I said to go ahead and chop it off. WHAT?! The stylist put my hair in two ponty tails and chopped it off. I was holding my hair in my hands holding back tears, just hoping the stylist didn't notice. I now have "mom hair" as I like to call it and I'm not even a mom. Tony says he loves it (smart man). Let's just say I wasn't expecting as big of a change as I got!!! It will take some getting used to.
On the bright side, because I got a hair cut I get a FREE pedicure and a FREE manicure because the spa is hiring on new staff and want people to do a survey on their hopeful new employees.
I can handle that.
Yesterday was our 9 Month Anniversary!
After Tony got off work we went to the gym, rented a couple movies, and considering we were in workout clothes and smelled great , went to eat at a local burger joint that makes their own ice cream...this place...
Of course we had to buy some ice cream to take home with us! I really wanted rocky road but you can't buy a normal flavor when you're at a place that makes it fresh! So I was brave and went with this...Breading pudding ice cream!

Time has flown by. In nine months we have:
-Finished School
-Moved 3 times
-took a cruise to the Bahamas
-Visited Nauvoo
-& have had more car problems than you will ever want to know :)
It has been a whirlwind of change but it has been great. My mother in law gave me a sign that says,
"It doesn't matter where you go in life--it's who you have beside you."
That sums up how I feel.

Megs...Post a picture! I want to see, I just got a mom cut too, I cut off 12 inches, and if felt the same way when she chopped off my pony tail. I almost cried. The lady that cut my hair told me she was getting a "nervous vibe" from me...haha...she was right...That's putting it lightly!

Uh yeah, since you have put us all in some kind of weird "mom hair" catagory, we want to see yours!

(just kidding, I still think of it that way too, and I AM and OLD Mom... it just doesn't feel that way yet).

You could only be super cute in shorter hair.

Hugs,
Aunt Beth
