New hair

I have cut my hair off! Here are the before and after, however, the after pics aren't great. It has rained alot today and ruined my nice new style. But you can get the gist.

Update

I have nothing of significance happening in my life right now. So here is a picture of Ryan. He is always my backup.

Cold weather blues..

Winter has come, and so has my blues. It is cold and windy, and I hate it! I am an outdoors type person. I don't like it when I am stuck in the house all day. And I would go out more if it weren't for Ryan. I don't want to get him out in this cold weather. So he must deal with me all day long too. Right now he has rolled his way under our Christmas tree and is staring at the lights. That's better than the whining he has done all day. Here shortly I will pull him out again, but a few minutes of quiet is VERY nice, and very needed.

Motherhood and its fashions...

I have fallen into the role of motherhood perhaps too well. I get dressed in the morning only if there is some where I must go. Aside from that, I only change my clothes (pajamas) if Ryan has spit up on them or it is time for my nightly bath. My hair may get brushed, but it is then swiftly put up into a clip or ponytail, as Ryan loves to pull my hair. And as it is shedding like no tomorrow, he ends up with a handfull of hair which I then must pry from his little fingers before it gets wrapped around so tightly it cuts off his circulation. I have truly contemplated cutting my hair off for this reason. My hair is EVERYWHERE! I change his diaper, and there it is, wrapped around his little penis. I now have to inspect closely everytime I put on a diaper to ensure I haven't shed into it. But I am afraid if I cut off my hair into a style I must actually fix, my predicament might be even worse. My personal appearance is no longer a concern to me. Poor Bill....he comes home and I am sure some days he must cringe at the sight of me. He truly must love me dearly. I am much too embarrassed to post a picture of myself. Betsy, I will try to be more like you. I will try not to go to the store looking like I do (though I have been known to do it). I just don't care. Anyone have a suggestion on a hairstyle that would appease both me and still let Bill have the stupid long hair that men seem to need? All that comes to mind is a mullet, and that just will not do.

Holidays

Well, it is that time of year where we get to split the holidays between families. That is always so hard. We want to go to each person's gathering, but time gets in the way. So it looks like we will spend Thanksgiving with Aunt Dian (mother-in-law's side) and Christmas at Mamaw's (father-in-law's side). I am glad that it works out that we get to visit both sides, but a little sad I won't be able to see any of my side of the family. We have spread out so far it's very hard to get all gathered. Plus the fact that I work weekends kind of puts a damper on things. But I am sure we will still have tons of fun. At least this year I won't be battling morning sickness and will actually get to enjoy the food!

We have signed all the paperwork for our land and now all we're waiting on is to officially close on the land. Rather excited, but scary at the same time. Here's a new bill that we will be responsible for. But, oh, the possibillities that I have been dreaming! In my mind we are very wealthy. I am sure when we meet with a contractor/architect my dreams will get downsized, but for now, there is nothing holding back my imagination.
