Road trip Part 1...Pittsburgh!

It seems like so long ago that we made our way across the country. It was exactly one month ago today that we closed on our house...I can barely believe it myself!

Our first stop on our road trip was back home to the 'burg. We squeezed in a little bit of time with as much family and friends as possible over the 5 days that we were there! It never seems like there are enough hours in the day when we visit everyone!

I was very bad about taking pictures and I only took a few but here it what I came up with. I had to make sure to throw in a picture of the cats Benny and Bug-Z because they are so cute!

Bad hair days.

I miss my old job for many reasons. The people that I worked with, the clients/brides that I grew to love, my boss, interesting people, the crazy homeless people, being downtown and lunch with my work buddies are just a few of the things that I have missed. Most importantly, I miss my hair product discount and my free hair services.

When I was in Chicago last week (blog post to come soon), I tagged along with my friend Martha to her hair appointment and decided to join in the fun! It was so strange and a bit scary, having someone else cut my hair (I’m sorry Rodney) but she did a pretty good job! I haven't gotten a new color yet because I cannot spend hundreds of dollars on hair color while we are still buying furniture. We also just put our first mortgage payment in the mail yesterday so hair color is the low man on the totem pole…

If you see me anytime soon, please try not to focus on the severe roots that I have. It is a sad day when a girl can’t get her hair colored. Boxed color from WalMart, here I come!

I wanted to share a few pictures of my favorite people back at Andre Chreky! If you are in DC, you should stop by and see Rodney for a cut and Faviola for color – it doesn’t get much better!

Slacker...

So much traveling and so little blogging. I have been fending for myself back home in CO for almost two weeks now while you know who is off in Chicago. While he has been away I made good use of my time by flying to Texas for 5 days to have an early Christmas with my mom's side of the family (pictures to come soon). I then went home for 2 days and in that 2 days I took down the wallpaper in the spare bedroom AND I shoveled the driveway and sidewalk which consisted of about 8 inches of CO snow. I now realize how hard that really is!

After the 2 days at home, I hopped back on a plane to the Windy City! I now sit here in the "business center" at a hotel in Chicago. I have no pictures to share but I wanted to let everyone now that we are still around and I will make sure to post some pictures soon!

Going away party

First, I have to thank Bobby for telling me where my camera cord was. It turns out that he knew the whole time but I never thought to ask him...oops.

I wanted to show off some of the pictures from our last night out in DC. All of Bobby's friends met at the usual "watering hole" for a double going away party. Our friend Jon will also be leaving the job so they all shed a tear together. I decided to drag along a few of the girls from work so it was one big PAR-TAY!

It was great to see everyone and we hope that we can see you all again soon!!
