Hair Makeover (for Mommy this time)

My stylist had a party at her salon and I entered in a drawing and won the grand prize: a free hair makeover! I got a haircut, color and eyebrow wax. Here are my before and after pictures. Sorry the before pic is a little blurry.

I love it!

I've never had highlights or an eyebrow wax done before.


Here are Katie and I both with our new do's just in time for family pics next week.

"I Want My Mullet Back"

Well…. not really. Remember last March when Katie cut her own hair? Well she has had a mullet ever since. I am excited to say that the sides have finally grown long enough so we could have her hair cut short. Here are her before and after pictures.



Surprise!

Cabin fun



We had lots of fun at the cabin Labor Day weekend. It's always fun to take some R&R time and get away for a bit.

See post below too.

Ready to go!


This is where I found Katie at approximately 1 pm on Friday Sept 4th. She had her suitcase by her side and was all buckled into her carseat and ready to go to the cabin. I informed her that we wouldn't be ready to leave for another 5 or 6 hours. She cried when I made her come back in the house. She couldn't wait to go to the cabin and see her cousins Livvie, Ellie and Blake and all the rest of the family that were going up.

Little surprises

Friday evening I was folding laundry and came across one of Katie's socks that felt a bit lumpy. I set it aside and soon found the matching sock, which was also lumpy. I set that aside too. Later Chris and I emptied out the socks to find almonds and hair accessories. We got a good chuckle from this. It's so funny that all those items stayed inside her socks through both the wash and dry cycles. The almonds look polished and shiny... and a bit chipped. Life is never boring with Katie around.

12 years ago today...

Two hearts came together.

Two lives were united.

Two dreams were joined as one dream come true.

And the two had:

A growing love,
Friendship,
Hope for the future,
Commitment to each other,
Covenants to keep.

And although the two have faced many trials and challenges along the way...
and still have many to come...
there has also been great joy.

And...

the dream goes on...

Happy Anniversary Honey!
I love you!
Tamara
