...This is pretty exciting!!

So first of all....for one, I got my hair chopped!!! I love love love it! It takes only 5 min. to blow-dry instead of 15 it felt! It's so easy...I recommend it to everyone.
Now second, this is pretty intense/ exciting! The institute that I am attending is letting the students participate in NAHA which is North American Hairstyling Awards- it sounds pretty intense and takes a lot of time. It has different categories for a variety of stylists to participate in. And not having my license quite yet, we are able to do the student section for it. I know many students participate, so wish me luck!!
We have 3 models come in and we can do make-up, use extensions, wigs, etc. We have to have a story board lined up and what made us want to do it. I am anxious for all of you guys to see what I will be doing, but I can't let me ideas quite out yet because I still have to get it all together. Stay tuned, I am so excited!

Doesn't this look lovely?

So I have been home sick for over a week now with this miserable cough which makes me extremely sleepy and am annoyed out of my mind! It really isn't fun, it is miserable being at home by yourself not being able to do anything after a while. The hubby has been taking very good care of me though, I will say that much! So, I saw this picture and became extremely jealous of this girl. I wish I could be right there doing that exact same thing. Especially feeling sick, to be out in the sun, better yet in Greece with their gorgeous buildings by the seas, made me realize how yuckie it is to live in Wisconsin during the seasonal changes! Don't get my wrong, I do love Wisconsin, but this weather change from 70 to 40 degrees isn't the greatest! So, I can only hope sometime soon, I will be able to bask in the sun and enjoy it next year!

--Autumn :: Feeling it already !

So, basically I think I have talked Benjamins ear off about decorating for fall/halloween, christmas, and so many other things. All I have to say is..OH NO! There has been so many cute decorations out that I am going nuts now! You can thank my Grandma because she was the fun halloween Grandma...I think my family would agree with me on that! My parents have this adorable/awesome halloween set that goes on the fireplace mantel with lighting and spooky noises and it's amazing- that has been some talk of the decorating. So for all the decoraters out there, check out some of these fun ideas for fall! ...( can't tell I am excited though huh?) So, Happy Fall ...(soon)!

How many of you love Chris Farely?

I saw this picture and just about peeped my pants. Welcome little Farely!

:>: Then & Now :<:

For those of you who were not able to attend our reception, we had a little picture slide show of us growing up. Here are a few of them. (For some extra information, yes- I am the chunky dunky baby with all that black hair. In one of Benjamin's baby pictures his foot does appears as a size 10- so beware)! But most of all, enjoy!!

As Mom says, "No mun, no fun!"

You know when your mom always say THE most annoying phrases, and what is annoying about them is that they are true? One of them, "no mun, no fun"? Well, I have had the worst time EVER! I don't know how many of you go to the World Market and Crate and Barrel, and many others, but every stinking single time I drive by the stores, I now have to drive past them. I'll even show Benjamin some things in the catalogs and all he will say is, "That's nice, find a job". Niceeee! So, all I can tell you guys is BEWARE! It's worse than just going to Target - for all you Target lovers!
