Hairy Scary....


Well I finally did it, I cut my hair! I was having a really hard time (going back and forth between doing it now or later because I was having such a hard time letting go) but after sitting and thinking about it for about a half hour I let Ashley do it. It is weird when you think about it, I mean for me anyway.... Here God was only asking me to donate 10" but it was such a hard thing for me to do (at the time) it's not like he was asking for all my money or my life, just hair! This may be stupid but I started thinking, how can I be a child of God and do the things he is asking of me in my life if I can't even listen to him about my hair!! I knew that it was for a good cause and it is something that I have been working towards for a long time now, but when it came down to it I had a hard time giving it up! I had to call a few friends but in the end I just asked God to please give me peace of mind in knowing that I was doing this to help someone else that was less fortunate than me. Now..... I love it! It is much shorter than I was expecting, but I really like it and am at total peace with it! It feels really good to know that I did something that will help someone else!

I don't understand, what was the cause? Glad to know that you love the shorter length though!

Yay!!! So glad you did it. Cutting my hair and donating it was one of the best things I've done. Your hair looks gorgeous short (and will take so much less time doing it!)

wow didn't even know you were growing it out! Do you have a before and after? That would be cool to see! What charity did you donate too?? Wow 10 inches how far down your back did it come to?? I think it looks cute! Glad you like it and are at peace with it! I am now a red head!!!!! Went dark chocolate and then tried red! I like it, but am thinking I will go to a dark auburn. Hope all is well!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Quick trip

Image
So the dogs and I made a quick trip up to Durango this past weekend to just get out of the heat and hang out at the house. Although I ended up working on the house with my mom and John it was still a very nice weekend. On Friday (after about 4 hours sleep) mom and I delivered an area rug for a client and had lunch & wandered around town with Mickie, it was a very nice day! On Saturday we ended up power washing the whole deck and going to dinner and having margarita's in Bayfield. Sunday morning we got up and after realizing that the rain might just stay away for a little while mom and I re-stained/sealed the deck While we were doing all of this John was laying stone on the three pillars in the front of the house, they turned out awesome! We then went into town and had some ice cream and watched all the bikers. It was hard to come home on Monday, the weather was soooo nice and cool, however Wayne was patiently awaiting for my return and had steaks on! Yummmm!!! Here are a...

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!
