Never Ending Dilemma

Tomorrow I have a hair appointment and I cannot tell you how excited I am for it! My hair has been weird color for almost 3 months now and I cant wait to go in and get it fixed! I know that color I want and I know I just want the ends trimmed, but........
What about my bangs?

My bangs have been WAY to long to wear across my forehead for at least 2 weeks now, so I have just been side swooping them!!
And now I cant decide what to do!! Do I just get them trimmed? Or do I have her cut them so they cover my large forehead?


Why is it so hard to decide what to do?!? Any input??



And I just have to throw this in here....
Aren't these the COOLEST bunk beds you have EVER seen?!?!

I found them on a blog while I was blog stalking today!! They just look so awesome! I love the shelves in each bed! They also have their own outlet built into the shelf and small lights on the wall with a switch underneath so each child can control their own light!! Sweet!! I would totally sleep here!!

Spring Fever

I saw one of these when I pulled into work this morning:

 Doesn't that mean that Springtime is here?!? I think I remember when I was little hearing something about robins not coming out until it was really Spring!!

Well, I live in Utah, so even if that saying is true, it probably doesn't hold a lot of truth here!! We got snow into May last year! NOT cool!!

We have been really spoiled lately though with some really nice days!! The sun has been out and 45 degrees feels pretty fantastic!! I am ready for the flowers to start blooming!! At my apartment there is lots of space for flowers and I need to work on my green thumbs skills, so I think this year I want to plant all kinds of fun flowers! I am going to try to make some of my own planter boxes out of plaster and cant wait to put them out!!

I am ready for the snow to stop falling and for it to turn into rain!! I love a good rain storm, I really really do!! And Springtime rain showers are the best because there is no thunder and lightning involved {usually}!!

I am so excited for the warmer weather! To not drag a coat around... or gloves.... or knit hat.... heavy boots... I am done will of of that!! I want to get outside and do fun things and enjoy the sunshine and breezy temperatures!!

I am so ready for Spring! What about you?!?

So Many People To Celebrate

February 23rd!! I feel like I know SO many people who's birthday's are today! Seriously.... I think I know at least 6 people personally that celebrated today!! So I thought I'd share a few!

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my fantastic friend GWEN!!!

She is almost exactly 6 months youger than me {only two days off}!! She is currently my downstairs neighbor and I am lucky enough to share a heat vent with her!!! She is one of the most hilarious people ever and I always love to hear her stories!!! Tonight they invited me down for some DELICIOUS Oreo/mint/ice cream desseret..... it was fantastic!!

Second, a very happy birthday to one of the cutest 2 year olds out there!! She belongs to one of my best friends, Tiffany!! Look at this cute cheesy grin!!!

I teased Tiffany when she was pregnant that she should go over her due date and be late so that her birthday could fall on this day!! Little did I know that it would actually happen {SORRY to jinx ya Tiff}!! She is currently pregnant with twins {SO excited for her} and they are due the beginning of May! I am now telling her that she should come early and have them on the 25th of April so they will share my brothers birthday!! How crazy would that be?!?

And finally.... to my little sister! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I was SO excited to get a little sister 15 years ago!! It was like having a life size Barbie!!

I would do all kinds of crazy things to her hair, paint her names, and dress her up!!

Now.... she can drive me crazy like nobody else! BUT... I look forward to the day when we are better friends!! HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY Kaylee!! Geez.... that makes me feel SO old!!

"Toe"tally Awesome

Last week I had a GNO with my wonderful sister in law Hayley!! We went to the Capitol Theatre and saw Ballet West perform The Sleeping Beauty!!

When I first heard that BW was doing this particular ballet I knew I had to go! I LOVE Sleeping Beauty!! Hayley and I had talked about seeing The Nutcracker back in December, but the month was just to crazy! So I was really excited when we were able to find a time when we could both see this show!

It was amazing and beautiful! I always walk away from the ballet wishing I was a pretty ballerina!! Their ability to balance on a tiny piece of wood never ceases to amaze me!! It makes me want my own pair of point shoes.... just to wear..... just because!!

This ballet is also great because the music is so familiar! The orchestra would start playing and I could instantly picture where that piece of music fit into the Disney version!

Did you know that in the ballet version the Prince and Princess get a visit from Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf? I had no idea!! The the dance between The White Cat and Puss In Boots was very funny!!

I also love the costumes you see in ballets! The tutus are always so pretty!! And in this ballet some of the girls got to wear fairy wings!!

Book #3

I just finished reading this book about 20 minutes ago! I came back from lunch late just so I could finished it!!!
I really really enjoyed this book!! It's one of those stories that pulls you in from the very beginning and is hard to put down! Just read what the back of the book says... It will probably suck you in:

A young woman travels alone to a remote island to uncover a past she never knew was hers in this thrilling modern ghost story

When a mysterious letter lands in Hallie James’s mailbox, her life is upended. Hallie was raised by her loving father, having been told her mother died in a fire decades earlier. But it turns out that her mother, Madlyn, was alive until very recently. Why would Hallie’s father have taken her away from Madlyn? What really happened to her family thirty years ago?
In search of answers, Hallie travels to the place where her mother lived, a remote island in the middle of the Great Lakes. The stiff islanders fix her first with icy stares and then unabashed amazement as they recognize why she looks so familiar, and Hallie quickly realizes her family’s dark secrets are enmeshed in the history of this strange place. But not everyone greets her with such a chilly reception—a coffee-shop owner and the family’s lawyer both warm to Hallie, and the possibility of romance blooms. And then there’s the grand Victorian house bequeathed to her—maybe it’s the eerie atmosphere or maybe it’s the prim, elderly maid who used to work for her mother, but Hallie just can’t shake the feeling that strange things are starting to happen . . .


Sounds awesome huh?!?!
And I'm not going to lie... there were a few nights I considered sleeping with my light on!!!
