The Big Apple.

Melinda and I got to go to New York this past weekend to take a color certification test for Redken. It was really awesome, and scary, and exciting, and overwhelming all at the same time. i get my results in like 6 weeks...so we'll see. luckily there are retakes if you don't pass a portion. lol




Anyway, after we got all our testing out of the way we hit the town. on saturday night we went and saw West Side Story which was awesome! i really liked it. we got pretty cheap seats that were kind of far away but hey...its all about the music right?



On sunday we went and saw Mary Poppins...it was by far the best show i have ever seen. dare i say, i liked it better than Wicked. Im a sucker for Disney. It was so great. Then we walked around a little street fair...ate bomb italian sausages, then we walked like a billion blocks...lol, (my feet were tired) to Washington park and shopped around a bit and then went on a haunted tour. it was pretty fun. not as scary as i hoped...but there were some interesting stories...haha.





On Monday we shopped around some more, had lunch at a cute little place and then headed for the airport. it was a pretty quick trip...but we got everything we wanted accomplished. :)

Traveling buddies that work well together are hard to find. but i must say melinda and i are a pretty good match. we like to do all the same things. She's adorable.

baby boy.

This is my sister in law Krista...and my soon to be nephew. Isn't she adorable? She is due December 4th! I hope i'm at least half as cute as she is when i'm prego. She wanted a few pics of her belly so we made our own little studio. :) My digital camera did a decent job i think.

We can't wait to meet you baby boy! hurry up!

yogi bear.

this little girl makes my heart melt. this is my 15 year old half golden retriever, half german shepherd...Yogi. She is the sweetest!
she is struggling these days...her legs don't work like they used to, her eyes are getting cloudy, and she doesn't quite hear the way she did. she is always happy and still gets so excited to get the mail with me though!
I don't really know how to handle this situation...i know she wont be here much longer. :/
whats a girl to do?!?!?

i love you yogs.
