Brown Haired Girl

As most of you know, I am a hairstylist. I have countless women coming in telling me time and time again that they are just so bored with their hair and want to try something new. And what usually ends up happening you ask? "Let's just do the roots and maybe I'll get up the nerve for blonde next time." Or the ever-classic, "Yeah, just a trim." Well, BAH! I don't know why I'm getting so irritated by this, but I feel that my creativity is stunted. I see the same people (with the exception of walk-ins, but they are all the same) every 4-6 weeks and do the same thing every 4-6 weeks. And so..... I'm boycotting against normality and consistency. I too have become the same woman! "Let's just retouch my blonde highlights and a light trim on my ends." BAH AGAIN! So tonight on my way home from a failed visiting teaching attempt and an overwhelmingly emotional day, I stopped at the salon, mixed up a bottle of hair color, and dyed my hair brown. Not really sure how I feel about it yet. And George is still not home, so.... hope he likes it. Anyway, that is my rant for the day. Let me know your thoughts.

The best vacation!

Ok guys, this post is going to be HUGE and filled with pictures! But according to Arian, pictures are the only thing people care about anyway! he he. Well enjoy our fabulous vacation!

These next couple of pictures are in Lakewood, CA. Our friend Masa lives there and I REALLY want to live there someday. It's such a beautiful green town. I love it!




George was getting a little frisky, so I got a little mean!

The roller coasters at Knott's Berry Farm. We had so much fun here!
This one was scaring me a little :)

They had this Indian guy dancing with a million hula hoops. It was really cool!

After our final ride, the Ghost Rider, I was feeling a little sick.... jk, this was totally staged. But this ride was definitely George's favorite roller coaster he has ever ridden!




These are in Santa Monica, on the beach at sunset and throughout the Pier. Beautiful!

I'm free!

This was the "Forrest Gump" restaurant we wanted to eat at, but it was already 8PM and they had a 45min wait, and we had an hours drive ahead of us. But it looked cool!



So instead we ate at this little place called, "Rusty's". The food was fantastic!

On our way to San Diego we stopped and picked up these people that were broken down and took them home. In their driveway there was this snake just slithering on down the road! So cool! These all are from Sea World.

Us in a polar bear cave!

Beluga whale!

The manatee's were really hard to get with our dumb camera (we really need a new one!) but these are some of the manatee eating.


Pink flamingo!

OH NO! ATTACK OF THE STARFISH!!!
SHAMU!!



This was the shark exhibit. It was a tunnel of glass you walked through and the sharks are all swimming above you. Awesome!

This restaurant, "Hodad's", was on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives on the Food Network. It was a cool place with HUMONGOUS hamburgers and DELICIOUS onion rings!

George was almost sick! He could only eat half.
Well, that's all folks. Oh, except one really sad thing. On Saturday after Hodad's we went down on Ocean Beach in San Diego and had a blast playing in the water and jumping waves....... until George got hit by a big one and it knocked his glasses off. He was so sad! We searched for a long time and then finally gave up and decided that some fish really needed those glasses. So all Sunday I had to drive because he is practically blind without his glasses. Poor guy. Other than that, we had so much fun and now we're rested enough to take on this upcoming semester! I'm so happy my sweet husband is going to college. We can't wait for him to be done though!!
