Love, Love...

I just have to give a little shout out to my sister. I miss you so much it's not even funny. I was laughing today...in my head of course, because we used to really hate each other. We would always fight about sharing clothes, or stealing friends, or who can sing better. Man we were really stupid. As sad as it sounds, being away from each other really opened my eyes to how much I truly love you, and how stupid we were to fighting about such dumb and insignificant things. You are my best friend, and you are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I love our long phone calls, and the short ones too (only because we have nothing new to talk about considering we talk almost everyday, or that a child starts crying and I can no longer hear you, or Kylee decides to hang up on me). I love that we are so different in so many ways which allows us to be so close. I love everything about you. I miss you more than words can describe, and am so excited to see you next week. I am so excited for all the amazing things we can share together in the future. Kylee really starting school, Luke growing up, me getting pregers one day, moving, new jobs, whatever it is....I love sharing it with my sis. Love you so much! You're the best! XOXO

An Adventure In The Subway

Once upon a time there was a married couple named Mike and Allie, who were invited to take a beautiful hike in a far away land. They packed their bags and headed for the road for a trip that would never be forgotten. The hike was to begin the next morning. They awoke with sleepy eyes and tired bodies from the long road trip the night before, but they, more than anything, were excited for the unforgettable walk that was soon to come. The trail began in Zions National Park. The air was still and hot, and the ground was soft with sand. Mike and Allie began their hike to The Subway.

Up hills and down rocks, they walked and climbed their way to the beautiful water they would finally reach. A frigid pool awaited for them to swim across and continue their hike.

After hours, seriously hours, they had reached The Subway. The famous heart shaped pool, and clear, cold water was more than words could describe. They were surrounded by unbelievable beauty.

The end of the hike was coming near. Mike and Allie's muscles were sore and tired, and just before they were about to give up.... da da da!!!!! They had to hike up this enormous mountain! This was no walking matter. The mountain was steep and dusty and they hot wind began to blow. With ever three steps they would stop to rest with not much breath left in their lungs. Soon...eureka! The top of the mountain and the end of the hike. The moral of the story is to never ever hike The Subway. Unless that is that you are crazy or some sort of marathon runner who can handle extreme exhaustion, dehydration, and intense muscle spasms. Just don't do it. Take my word for it. The pictures are all you need. This is me after the hike. As you can see I wasn't happy. This picture perfectly describes how I felt at the end of that hike.

Calling all you brave ones!

So, I have finally convinced Mike that he needs to make a portfolio of his wonderful work. SO here I am asking for all of your help. Mike needs some models that have striking features...you know who you are, and people who are willing to do some maybe drastic things to your hair. Now we all know Mike isn't going to make you ugly or chop off all of your beautiful locks, but you must be willing to take the risk that it might not be your simple brown bob. So let me know if you are interested or if anyone you know might be. Thanks, XOXO

My friend Sarah came in the other day to get her hair colored. Mike did such a great job! Sarah can really pull off some big colors. I absolutely loved her hair. I wish I could be a red head but we all know how that turned out...not so good. Mike, good job and Sarah, you look so cute.
