should you like to offer an opinion...

After way too many months I am finally getting my hair trimmed on Saturday. I like it long but I really need a little bit of a boost, so I'm also going to lighten it a bit (eek! I haven't changed my hair color at all since me and Paul met! More than 5 years ago actually). 

These are some images that are inspiring me. If you have any opinions I'd sure appreciate them (because when I ask Paul he just says "she's smiling weird", or "I don't like her clothes" and although I might agree with him - it's the hair we are focused on here).

 

PS: For your reference, the current state of my hair is this:

Ready? Opinionate!

Dear Mom...

Even though we are 1,954.08 miles apart -- I hope you can feel my love and appreciation for you.

Also sending our love to Donna, our Grandmas, and all the other moms who loved us and helped us be who we are. 

We love we love.

We had a lovely day together yesterday. Let me tell you why:

Paul made us oatmeal for breakfast.

I worked from home, and Paul went into his lab then took my bike in to the shop for some upgrades.

Paul made us chicken quesadillas for lunch.

More working then lacrosse game time, and guess who was the best fan? Paul cheered me and my team on to a double win over Union Catholic. 

Quick stop for a dinner date at Texas Weiner (it really was delicious!).

Paul then took me on a date to a This American Life live show broadcast. So much good stuff including crowd involvement in which we played iPhone hand bells with Ok Go! (against every movie theaters normal policy) and loved Ira Glass, dancing by Monica Bill Barnes & Company the awesome photograph collection of a memory hoarder (which I often times feel like), beautiful illustrations, stories and more.

He really just gave gave gave all day. I'm so glad to have him.
(Thanks Paul!)

Hoggies!!

This morning I spotted 4 groundhogs! Being that they are my favorite animal due to their waddley, skiddish, and largely obese nature, I'd say that it was a very successful early morning adventure.

And look! One finally let me take a picture of him (even though it was through a chain link fence and obviously quite zoomed in and blurry). Really, these guys just hate the camera and waddle quickly away whenever they see one (much like my husband)!

PS on our drive to church Sunday I spotted one of these friends and yelled Hoggie! Paul definitely thought we were about to get in an accident and may have swerved slightly due to my overexcited nature. That's just what these squatty things do to me!
