Short Hair / Long Hair...What Do I Do?

This is just one of those silly posts, but I am stressing about my hair!! I would LOVE to have long hair but I just have not had the best patience with trying to grow it out. The longest my hair has been was almost 10 years ago when Dustin and I got married. Looking back at our wedding pictures I wish I had that hair. I actually begged Dustin take me to get my hair cut on our honeymoon. Ever since, I have had it short. One time I had it so short, I couldn't even curl it because there wasn't enough hair to go around the curling iron! When I got this particular hair cut the stylist put some goop in it and it stuck up everywhere. I looked like a little boy with a "spike" haircut, seriously! I laughed so hard on the way home from the shop that I called my one friend and also Amy to come over and see my new do. Seriously, we all had a great laugh. Needless to say, I didn't wear that style quite as "spiky" as they stylist did it that first day.

Now I am on a kick that I am going to try and let it grow out. My goal is to not get it cut (meaning just a trim) until Logan's birthday in May. The last time I got a cut was in December before our family pictures. Twice now I have wanted Dustin to cut it for me but have talked myself out of it. Yes, I am that crazy!! I get so impatient with my hair that at times I let my husband cut it! Do you think I have issues or what?! So, I am going to try my hardest to refrain from cutting my hair. My goal is to wear a cute ponytail. Let's see if I can make it until May. If I do, I promise to post a picture of me and my "long" hair.

I think that is enough rambling now. Have a great day.

My Evening with Bon Jovi

I have one word to describe the Bon Jovi concert...AWESOME!! It was truly amazing. Let me say that I have not been to a concert in a very long time. To be honest, I didn't even remember what concerts were like. I had some ideas of what it would be like, but let me say that Bon Jovi was far better than I could have imagined. There was so much energy is was crazy. Jon Bon Jovi never stopped moving. He stepped off of stage for only one song in the whole 2+ hours they were on stage. They played a great mix of all their songs. I think I sat down for maybe 60 seconds the whole time. It truly was a great time. I am so glad that I had the opportunity.


My afternoon prior to the concert was not too good. I almost backed out of going. Neither of my boys took a nap that afternoon. They were quite fussy. They only good side was that I figured becasue they didn't take a nap then they would be sleepy and calm for Dustin that night....WRONG! Apparently my Luke, can't handle it when mommy is away. He was crying and fussing all night. Logan was a handful too. Let's just say it took Dustin a good 2 days to recover. I guess no more concerts for a while!


Except for my boys not dealing well with their mommy being gone for the evening and it taking 2 hours to get to the concert and 2 hours to get home, the night was great. It was nice to get out with the girls and be a grown up for a while. I had a lot of fun and it case I haven't said it before, it was an awesome concert!

Oh, What A Day!

For all of you that are consistent readers of my blog, don't freak out that this is the second day in a row that I am posting! I am so excited right now that I can't even stand it. So, here is my news...

A friend of mine called me today and left a message stating that she is going to a concert this week and there is an extra ticket and she wants to know if I wanted to go. Once I heard who is going to be in concert, I flipped out. I have enjoyed this band since I was in jr. high. When my oldest nephew was a little tot, I would dance around our house with him to their music. Right now I am so excited, I feel as if I am back in jr. high. I am thrilled to say that I am going to a BON JOVI concert!!!!! I have never seen them in concert and am beside myself with glee that I am going.

I just got off the phone with my friend and I swear we are acting like teenagers asking each other what the other is going to wear. I feel like I need a new outfit and need a new hairdo. I, of course, want to look my best for Bon Jovi!

I am going to end for now because I would just be babbling endlessly if I continue, besides I have to go and find something to wear to the concert!!

Have a good night...I know I will!

The Latest Around Here

I am happy to state that I am typing this post from our new laptop computer. I am typing while sitting on our couch watching T.V. It is awesome! We just got this computer last week and it has been wonderful. Dustin or I can be on the computer and can still be in the living room with one another. No more nagging from me for him to come and spend time with me or sit next to me. It was definetly a good buy for us!

We have all got colds around here. It seems like the boys had just gotten over their illnesses and now they are sick again. It started with Dustin last weekend and has made its way around to the rest of us throughout this past week. The boys and I have not made it out of our pajamas today. I hate to admit it, but it has been kind of nice.

I am also happy to say that after 6 months, Logan and Luke have bonded. It was the sweetest thing. Last week, I had laid Luke in his crib to play for a bit and Logan was in their room playing too. Dustin heard Luke laughing and we went to see what was going on and Logan had climbed up on one of his little chairs and was leaning over the crib and simply saying the word "go" to Luke and they both were cracking up laughing. This went on for a while and Dustin and I were so happy. Luke smiles whenever he sees his brother but Logan really didn't want anything to do with him. Now, Logan will talk to Luke and one day last week he couldn't wait for Luke to wake up from his nap. I can't wait for them to be best buddies.

We were able to see our baby nephew Blake this weekend. Scott, Amy and the boys came up for the weekend and we all spent time together yesterday at my parents house. It was fun to be all together. It has almost been 1 year since Scott, Amy and the boys moved away. In a way the time seems to have gone by so quickly, but in another way, it seems like many years ago that they lived so close. We reallly miss them!

The last thing I want to post about is my obsession with reality T.V. I know that I have admitted this before, but I do love reality T. V. (well most of it any way!). One of my favorite shows for the past few years has been "Big Brother." It has been on in the summers and is usually on 3 times a week. Well, in a twist, the show is on this winter. I have only watched 3 episodes and I am HOOKED. I know this is not a good thing to like a reality show so much and I am a bit ashamed to admit that I like it so much. I guess it just gives me something to look forward to watching.

So, that is it for now. It should be a fun week. My dad is on vacation all week and my mom has a couple of days off too. This means that the boys and I have people to hang out with!!! YEAH! I seriously am so excited for Spring and Summer. It is getting to us all by being in the house so much!!

Hope everyone has a blessed and safe week!
