Check out the HAIR

So, I've pretty much been a virgin to dying my hair. I did a little bit for my wedding but it was very subtle. I decided this time around to go all out and get dramatic. I also decided that shorter can be more fun. Long hair is beautiful and you can do a whole lot more with it, which I do miss, but the short style is sassy. We'll see how long it lasts. It's definitely not super cheap to get your hair colored and cut. Good thing I live in Utah. If I needed to I could always hit up the beauty college...I don't know if I'm that brave...maybe not.

PuPpIEs!!!!

I want a puppy SO bad! I go to to the classified section on KSL pretty much every day to look at puppies. They're all so stinkin' cute. Maybe I'll quit teaching and just breed dogs for cash j/k. It's interesting to see all the different breeds of dogs people have created over the years. It's funny though because people are essentially created mutts. We're not too excited about paying major bucks for a mutt. Nate has agreed that we can have a puppy but he has some conditions. We'll see what happens with that. He's mostly concerned about a dog shedding and leaving hair all over the place. I don't blame him, nobody wants pet hair all over the place. I hate going to someone's house, sitting down, and then leaving with pet hair all over my clothes. GROSS! 

Bridge to Terabithia

I never read the book when I was in school, but the movie is quite inspiring. I found myself on the verge of tears watching this movie. When we're kids we have no trouble playing make-believe, but as we get older we lose that innocence. We forget how to pretend. I really enjoyed being transported to another land through Leslie's and Jess' imagination. If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. 

Getting Domestic

I've been wanting to get my new nephew something, but couldn't decide what to get. I decided to use my handy sewing skills to make something for him and his mommy. Here I'm modeling the nursing cover I made.
This is the super cute fabric I found at JoAnn's. I had so much fun looking through all the isles of fabric. I started getting all these fun ideas for things I could sew. This picture doesn't do the pattern justice. It's so much cuter in person.
I decided to line it with Melissa's favorite color...pink! I wanted to do hot pink, but I didn't want it showing through and ruining the pattern of the fabric on the other side.

I'm being a dork and pretending I actually have a little one under there that I'm feeding.
