oh boy

I like lil' things. Lil' man clothes are no exception. Having a hard time not going crazy shopping... but so far this and other Cardinals apparel has been the most challenging to withstand...might not make it much longer without "adding to cart" if you know what I'm saying. I mean really...is this not adorable? And if you think this is cute just try looking at all the other adorable festive baby cards gear. Too much to handle.

News!

We are having a BOY!

roos and koalas and dingos oh my

So I could probably write an entire novel about my trip down under to see my sister and her fabulous family. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. I wish Ryan would have been able to join me but it was probably good he was here because it gave me something to come back for. My sister is my BFF. It had been two years since I had seen her, and before that visit it was two years as well. Needless to say, the time had come. We manage to stay just as close internationally but nothing beats true quality time with someone. She had also had a baby since I had seen her so it was vital to meet him before too long as well. Anyhow we had a completely perfect two weeks together. We visited cool animals, saw beautiful things, ate delicious food, laughed til we cried, cried til we laughed, and added countless songs and stories to the memory book. Michelle was the trip photographer so I will just share a few of the 550 I brought back with me. There are millions of pics but they tell the story better so just scroll fast to avoid being bored. Also pics are out of order but I only have so much time here so sorry. Thanks to the Browns for an amazing time!!!

Aussie Made

So before I came down here I only wanted one souvenir...some Aussie made uggs. Well I met a nice little man who took care of that for me and I thought who better to wear them first then Aaron, the cute Aussie citizen of the family. Aussie boots, Aussie lil' mate. Life is good down here. Here is the evidence. This trip has been amazing so expect much more to come. But while I am still here I plan on enjoying every second and documenting later. He sure was a good sport :)

A breath of fresh air

We just got back from Zion National Park. One of my most favorite places on Earth. So nice to actually see Ryan for more than an hour a day and get a break from life. Aw.

I am alive and I have learned to recycle

So my salon did this cool show at the What Women Want Expo last week. Since Aveda is all about the Earth we had a theme. We got into little groups and were each in charge of a different model. I had the recycled model and we decided to make a dress out of newspaper. SO along with the hair and makeup we made the dress! I was very impressed with us. I didnt know we had it deep down within. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Here are a few pics of my model. For more of everyone click here. The other models were sweet too. Definitely worth checking out.

Spring Fever Special

I dunno bout you all (yes all 3 of you) but whenever the season starts to change I feel like I want a change. I usually take these desires out on my hair, and now you can too! For the month of March I am offering a free cut with any color service. As always with an Aveda salon, the scalp massage, hand massage, and amazing relaxation of a spa visit is complementary. So come on in, and treat yourself to a change and some pampering. I hope to see you soon!

Growing up

I had a very lucky day yesterday. I got a job, basically my dream job. I love hair, and I couldn't be more excited to start my career. Come see me.

I MUST

attend stadium of fire. This is why. Oh and in case you aren't convinced, here is one of my faves.

Girls just wanna have fu un! That's all the really waaaaaant!

So a few weeks ago I got the amazing oppurtunity to go to an international hair show in Long Beach with my school. It was SO much fun. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, ate too much and had a BLAST. Of course without hairschool bff statecy things never would have been quite as much fun. It was such a great way to end my hair school experience. It was a quick trip but loaded with so many magical festivities...topping the list? Meeting my hair celebrity idol NICK ARROJO! Couldn't have asked for a better last weekend of school. Here are a few pics summing it up. (more pics on facebook if you want all the visual details)

He is SO nice. SO adorable. And now a father of twins (I know that cause we became so close obviously). Oh and I love everything his company stands for, so different from the other big names. YAY for being starstruck!
