before/after

Before and after photos always crack me up. the before picture is dull and the people are always sad or have a "whatever" expression on their face.


so... I decided to make a before and after photo of myself for my new hair.


Before:

AFTER:

People all of the sudden get this "glow" on their face for the after picture. Maybe the new look is empowering.

Furry Friends

My sister and brother-in-law recently adopted two kittens, Dexter and Alice. Jordan's allergies have been getting worse and worse therefore they had to get rid of the kitties and who better to give them to than US.

I like cats, always have. I remember when I was about 5, my dad picked me up from daycare holding a big brown box that he had stuff some old ratty towels in to keep two little kitties warm. I named one Abby (how original) and the other Skuttles (off the Little Mermaid).

So it wasn't too hard to say yes to adopting these cute furry friends. However, kitties are very hard to take care of! They are into everything, I mean EVERYTHING!
They like to jump on the counter, bite at your feet, put claw marks in your couch, and they always think they're hungry.

Dexter is the worst for thinking he's hungry. His meow is almost piercing! Alice is "soft spoken" and is a tag-a-long to her brother. They play together well, biting and kicking each other. Then you'll find them sleeping silently together... so cute!

I like my new friends, even though they're a handfull!

Crazyness

It's been quite a while since I last posted. Work has been taking over my life! Well that's been happening for quite a while now. I suppose I should work my tooshie off now while Im young and have no babies but it gets very tiring. 


Thanksgiving was great! Dane and I went to his family's on Thanksgiving day then on Saturday went to my family's. It was a lot of driving but well wroth it. The time always goes by so quickly when you're trying to cram so many things in a short period of time. 


I was able to go to my home church this past Sunday. I really miss having compelling sermons. The church that Dane and I were attending closed so now we're on the hunt for a new one.


Still no news on Dane's knee. He goes to the Dr. Thursday to check the fracture and possibly find out if surgery is needed.


A few weeks ago I decided to make homemade oatmeal cookies. They were sooooo delicious. When I started making them i did not realize how many the recipe would make. Well... I ended up making over 3 dozen. Needless to say we still have cookies in our freezer!


More later~
