Like a new woman

2 days ago while getting my hair done, as I do every 8 weeks, I decided to be bold and change colors....drastic colors...For the first time in my 30 years I am not blonde!

My hairdresser was shocked at my request, but didn't question it she just did it. The new color is called Chestnut.

After 2 hours at the salon i walked through the door and Ryan was shocked! He scooped me up in his arms with the biggest grin and said he LOVED it! (Whoo Hoo) I like it and love how blue it makes my eyes look!!!

I've had many different reactions from family, friends and coworkers and my favorite was while cuddling on the couch when my husband said he felt like he was having an affair!

Bits and Pieces from last week

nobody@vox.com(Final Score) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:41:02 -0800

We have been on several dates over the past week. I was able to get a photo from Ryan's Christmas party at the Hilton.

Holiday Party 2009 045

Our winter garden has sprouted, we now have 4 kinds of radishes, broccoli, winter squash, green onions, lettuce, jalapenos and yellow onions. Christian picked a few heads of broccoli over the weekend and I made the most delicious veggie and chicken pizza.

Broccoli

Madyson got a student of the month award last Thursday. I went to her assembly and was not only able to see her get her award, but also to see her class perform 3 Christmas songs.

Both Saturday and Sunday we got special Christmas deliveries from Friends. The first was a basket of homemade jam and bread from Shane and Bree. All I can say is mmmmmmmm!

Delivery number 1

Next was a platter from Aaron and Michelle, complete with 6 of each item for our family of 6...so cute and yummy!

Delivery number 2

Miss Olivia was fixed on Friday and has not skipped a beat! She's just as playful and sassy as she always is. She has a new favorite place to perch.

I had ugly Christmas Sweater bunco at my house, but fortunately for the girls didn't take any pictures. Let me just say there were indeed some VERY hideous Christmas outfits that night!

Thankfully my Mother-in-Law, Debra, was able to sneak some pictures during the show and then saved the day by having her camera for after the performance as I forgot mine! Here's a peak!

Thank you to everyone who came and say Maddy your support and love is sooo appreciated!

First weekend of December

nobody@vox.com(Final Score) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:59:20 -0800

I love, love love December......There's the tree, the house trimmed in white lights, a roaring fire every-night, cuddling on the couch watching Christmas movies, baking, eating yummy Christmas treats, lots of family time and my absolute favorite all the Christmas parties and festivities to go to!

We started our "filled" December weekends last night with Ryan's work party at the Hilton Hotel, tonight will be onto the theater to watch Madyson perform in the Nutcracker and tomorrow night another Christmas party.

Next weekend is ugly Christmas sweater bunco at my house, then watching Nessa in her Christmas show and the mission in lights with Clint and Christina.

The weekend after that Christmas with Charlie and Holly, a Christmas party at Stacey and Brian's house and Kandace's birthday.

Then it's the week of Christmas! Bring it on I am soooooo ready!

Ladies and Gentlemen

THIS ShOULD BE INTERESTING!

Tonight will be the beginning of the baking marathon in preperation for tomorrow. I'm going to my cousins to start cooking for our very first Thanksgiving meal. Somehow both of us have escaped 30 years of not making the dreaded turkey. We both seem to have the same saga of convincing our moms to do it for us. So needless to say this should be very interesting. Either we'll survive and place a beautifully delicious bird on the table or we'll slaughter it so bad that we'll be serving just side dishes as our meal.

Stay tuned!
