Locks of Love

A few weeks ago, I went in to the salon to have my hair cut off. I had been planning to chop it for a while but didnt have the courage to do it. I am kind of attached to it...haha. Well, the day came and I dont know if I was ready, but I did it. I brought my camera to record the big event but unfortunately right as I was ready, the battery died. I took this picture yesterday (sad to say one of my bad hair days and not the best picture) right before I sent my pony tail to Locks of Love. It was a little strange sending my hair through first class mail, but it is actually the second time I have done it. Fourteen inches later my hair is much easier to deal with and takes A LOT LESS shampoo.

Im Spoiled

 
On Saturday morning Matthew surprised me with a dozen roses and gerbera daisies! He said he didnt know which one I would like better so he got me both! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who still remembers to buy me flowers on a random day.

Happy New Year!

 

Matt had to work on New Years Eve, and well, so did I, but I dont think you can call what I do, work. I help an older woman in our ward with her erands and house chores. I love it! Anyways, when I got home from "work" I started on a nice dinner for two made of pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, zuchini, and salad. I wanted to surprise Matthew with a relaxing New Years Eve since he has been extremely busy at work. We had a nice peaceful dinner, and afterward, like a good husband, Matthew decorated cupcakes with me. I had left over batter and turned the rest into a cake. Thank you Jen for such a wonderful cake platter for Christmas. I am happy to say we used it right away. Then we finished Dark Knight! What a great movie! It took us three days to watch because Matthew gets home from work so late, but it was worth it. To continue our night, we had a blast from the past and watched Waynes World. (Just as funny as I remember.) As soon as our movie ended, the clock struck midnight and we celebrated with some sparkling cider. (I had to search everywhere for it at the grocery store because they had alcohol everywhere else!) We went to bed shortly after and had the opportunity to sleep in! I made coffee cake, that sad to say, didnt turn out very well so Matt had some cereal. For the rest of the day we went to the Lafayette Resevoir, played bocce ball, went to lunch/dinner and discussed our New Years goals. Monthly temple attendance is #1 on our list. We are excited for the new year and for what the future holds in store!
