Blonde Delimma

Lately I have been thinking... Maybe I should go blonde. 

Don't worry, not platinum blonde just a dirty blonde! But I need some help deciding on what I should do or if I should even do it!

 Let me first explain some of my reasons. I have VERY fine strands of hair and not a ton of it. What this means is that no matter how much product I put in it and how much I tease it my hair lays extremely flat or looks ratty. I love my dark hair but if I have any kind of bad hair day with a weird part or a cowlick you can see my pale skin on my head. I know... gross right?! So I was doing some online research trying to figure out how to help with this and everything I found said that lighter hair allows for less of a contrast in the color of your skin to your hair making the skin less noticeable. So I was thinking I would try it out.

Now my hair was a dirty blonde as a child and when I spent a lot of time in the pool during the summer it would actually turn pretty blonde. Here is a picture of more of my natural hair color as of most recent.

I want to say this was from day 3 of our honeymoon. So my color had been basically stripped from the salt water and the sun hadn't affected it too much yet.

I want to say this one is from day 5.... so the sun had definitely had an impact on it. lol

Here are some pictures of what I'm thinking about doing. There are two options. An overall color or one with highlights. 

Option 1: 

Dirty blonde with brown low lights around the base.

Alessandra Ambrosio

I love how it has some of the darker color still in it so I wouldn't be having a drastic blonde change and I feel like I wouldn't have to worry as much about the up keep. If I had to wait an extra week or two between colors it wouldn't be ridiculously obvious. My only fear with this look is that I have to have a "natural" look to my hair with my job. Is this a natural enough look?

Option 2:

All over color

Kristen Stewart

I love both of these. They are the same person so I'm sure they are the same color one is just lit a little different. This would be the same color basically all over so it would definitely be natural looking in that since. I'm just not sure i'm ready to be this blonde. And a lot of times the high lights and low lights can add some depth to your hair that an all over color can't. Which is my problem... thin hair with no depth. haha 

Kristen Stewart.

I need some suggestions! 

What Do You Think?!! 

Am I Really a Grown Up?

I'm at the point in my life where I keep asking myself 

"Do I really have to be an adult and make all these decisions?"

I don't know about you but sometimes I wish someone else could just make some of my decisions for me. Wasn't it easy being a kid, not having any cares in the world but what to play and did I get my homework done? Wasn't it wonderful?! 

This is a picture of me and two of my sisters. I'm the one on the far right. lol 

The entire time I was younger all I wanted to do was grow up. Have my own place, make my own choices, have a job, and have money to spend. If only I had known! haha I might have spent a little more time on my parents tab. 

Don't get me wrong. I love my life. I have the most amazing, caring, wonderful man to share it with.

He is honestly my best friend and the love of my life. I don't know where I would be without this man. 

I think we both feel this way right now. We don't have any idea where we are heading in life but we do know we are going there together! And for that I am very grateful! 

Rainy Monday

Yesterday was wonderful! It rained all day long! I love rainy days like that. They mean spring is here and everything is about to turn colorful! There were even a few redbud tree's in bloom already. They are my favorite tree because they turn such a beautiful pink/read when they bloom! I can't wait for all the other colors to start popping up... although I am not looking forward to the allergies that they bring with them. 

I normally spend them in under a blanket listening to it but Kevin and I decided to brave the weather and go shopping!

I love shopping with my Hubby! We always have so much fun. This was the bigger bags. We had quite a few smaller bags within them. Like this one...

They just opened up this adorable little candy shop in the mall and so we decided to get some candy. This is more of Kevin's bag...my bag of chocolate wasn't as cute but it is tasty!

We also went to one of our favorite places to get sandwiches, Which Wich. 

This last picture is one I just took. Isn't our fur baby just the cutest?!

Spring Fever

The Monday before last was wonderful! The weather was amazing and it was both Kevin and My day off so we got to spend it together. That will make any day just perfect! I had a ridiculously long to-do list and so we woke up ready to accomplish things. Haha 

We spent the first half of the day checking off things like get my oil changed, stop by the pharmacy, pay my car registration before my car gets toed right in front of my apartment. Yes, they can do that and they put a warning sticker on the hubby's car last month so I didn't want to take any risks with mine. lol After checking off a few more things we decided to take our fur baby on a walk. 

I forget how much I love taking walks in beautiful weather. It's hard to believe that we were both wearing shorts in February! Roxy loved every second of that walk. 

Later we stopped by PetsMart to pick up some food for the puppy and decided to pick out a new color for her. I love it!

I wish I could spend all day everyday with these two!

Weekend Getaway

I planned on posting this almost a month ago but it didn't happen. haha A couple weeks ago I got to go back to Edmond and spend the day with the nephew, try on bridesmaids dresses for one of my good friends wedding, and have dinner with the parents. It was WONDERFUL!

My nephew is still as adorable as the day he was born. Although the poor guy was sick...

He looks just like his dad and a little like my dad. Which I guess means he looks a little like his momma. He is just adorable! 

I'm not going to lie...I didn't put him down until I absolutely had to. I drove down on Thursday night but basically spent all day friday with him. My sister knew I wanted to see him Friday so she sneakily asked me if I had any plans, after I said no I quickly realized she was really tricking me into going to lunch with my grandmother and aunt. It isn't a terrible thing but not exactly what I wanted to do on my day off back in my home town. lol 

That night I had dinner with my parents at this cute little Mexican Restaurant in OKC. It was really good. They always find fun little hole in the wall restaurants. I don't know how but they do and I have yet to go to one I didn't like. lol 

Saturday I got to see one of my good friends that I didn't get to see on my trip down earlier that month. We meet up at Panera and had breakfast. I realized I hadn't seen her since I had moved in July of last year. That is way too long to not see a good friend. I caved and got one of my favorites, the cinnamon crunch bagel. Yummy!

The rest of the day I spent with one of my beasties picking out bridesmaid dresses! I still can't believe so many of my friends, and myself, are married or getting married this summer. We are getting so old. Next thing you know everyone will have their own houses and start having kids! I don't think i'm ready for that step! Haha

The only bad part about the weekend was that the hubby and my little fur baby didn't get to come with me!

 I made sure when I got back Saturday night that I spend some time snuggling on the sofa with both of them. I love them!

Roxy the Wheelbarrow

If you have read my earlier blogs you know that my fur baby, Roxy, hand to have knee surgery back in December. They would not let her walk on it AT ALL for the first month and now we still can't get her to use it. We have done several different things that they have suggested but the newest suggestion is quite entraining! lol 

The most recent idea they gave us was to tape a marble or something similar on her good paw so that it would force her to use her weak knee. We are seeing some improvement but only once Roxy has been wearing it for a good hour. This is due to how she copes with it at first. 

Instead of using her weaker leg to help walk and balance she just lifts her entire back half off the ground and walks like she is in a wheelbarrow race! I'm pretty sure everyone has participated in some form of a wheelbarrow race as a child and knows what I mean. If not, here is a video to show you! lol

Poor girl is actually pretty talented if I do say so myself! haha It kinda defeats the purpose though. She is pretty cute waiting at the door of her daddy to come home. :)

Groupon Fun

It is official...I am no longer a groupon virgin! I finally purchased my first one! 

I have been looking for one to get for months now and I finally found one I wanted! Ice Skating Admission for super cheap. The Hubby and I go ice skating at least once a year and we hadn't gone yet so I figured why not!

 Kevin actually played hockey growing up so he LOVES to go ice skating!

We went with two of our friends which always makes it more fun! They are such a cute couple!

The hubby spent the entire time racing around the rink. I tried to keep up but I just don't have the smooth skating skills that he does. haha I don't think I'm too bad though. I don't normally fall and I can skate backwards....very, very, very slowly! lol Kevin's favorite thing to do is skate really fast and then right before he runs into you he turns and sprays shaved ice all over you. He is such a goober! We did find out that they have an adult hockey league... I think I know where the Hubby will be spending Sunday afternoons when the next season starts. I don't mind though because I miss going and watching him play. That's what I did every Sunday when we first started dating. I have to admit, he is pretty cute decked out in all his hockey gear! Although I don't know if i'm ready for all that stinky gear to come home with me! I think I may have to think this one through. Haha

LL and I were expecting to freeze so we came dressed for the cold. We forgot that skating inside you don't normally stay cold for long...we ended up taking most of this off pretty quickly. lol 

We also found out we were wearing basically the exact same thing under our jackets... tan tanks with white sweaters. haha Great minds think alike! lol 

It was a fun friday night!
