I saw a picture of a very pretty woman on a blog with REALLY short hair and I wanted to cut mine like that so bad. I thought "if she can pull it off, why can't I?" I cut my hair pretty short when I was prego with Kandace. Being pregnant makes you do crazy things. I liked it but I sort of felt like I'd had a mastectomy, like I'd lost some of my woman "ness." JUST THINK, how much EASIER life would be with hair this short?? I mean SERIOUSLY?? What mom of young kids doesn't need one less thing to worry about and hassle with. I blow dryed and straightened my hair today (and fixed it) and then we went to Cody today (I'll blog about that later) and my hair was a big frizz ball by the end of the day. Awesome, all that work for nothing. Could I possibly blog about anything more ridiculous? No, but I just wanted to share.

Easter at gpa Simmons

We spent the last half of our Easter Sunday at gpa Simmons for some dessert and an easter egg hunt.

On the road again

Last Th (4.28.11) was the first day of our Utah adventure last week. I have an old roommate who lives in Farson, WY which was on the way so we stopped. I'd been wanting to for a while and we finally made it happen. I love this girl. For one, she lives in Farson, and no offense to any Farsonians, but really, it doesn't seem like a dream destination but she is the type of girl who loves life, deals with it and makes the best of everything/anything that comes her way. Her husband teaches at the K-12 school there which is right across the street from her house. She's a super duper mom and I'm grateful for the example she's been in my life. I got to go home with her once to Dayton, ID when we were roomies and I remember it well. She comes from a large, hard-working LDS family and you could feel a special spirit from the moment you walked in the door. Her stay at home mom was the queen of everything domestic and good (canning, mothering, nurturing, etc.) and her quiet but comical dad was the superintendent of their school district. We watched general conf. that weekend and when we sat down for dinner we were taking turns talking about our favorite talks and Becky's mom suddenly burst out that "she just wanted Jared (Becky's single, older brother) to marry someone with dark hair and brown eyes so she could have a brown eyed grand baby."
