A Photo Update

The past six months have been a whirlwind. Completely.

I started out a brunette. My how things have changed.

And then Liana and I accompanied Julia to NYC - which of course required several trips to Starbucks.

And then I took a picture of a random person just because I liked her hair.

But, really the trip was so Julia could do things like play her guitar.

But, we made it fun and Liana picked out the ugliest dress and tried it on. And in true Liana-style, she somehow made it look A-Okay.

We contained our "craziness" and met Julia's management company and listened with smiles on our faces while she wow-ed them with her music.

But, of course, the silliness had to end at some point, and you could find me back at the salon on Miner Street doing Prom Up-do's and weddings almost every Saturday.

On the side, I pretended to be a baker. Because that would be amazing.

In the matter of 4 weeks, we managed to put a purchase offer on a house 5 doors down from my parents, closed, and moved. That was true hectic-ness.

On our quieter nights, we found ourselves doing things like watching the cutest nephew play little league baseball. Such fun!

We settled into this beautiful house and spent the first few months here enjoying this:

And sunsets like this:

And with any house, there were projects to be done. Nothing major, but a new coat of paint does a world of good!

And less wallpaper...

Somewhere along this timeline, I "morphed" into a redhead again... not sure how that happened. ;)

Shortly after moving in to our beautiful house, I managed to have bronchitis and get a nasty Spider bite.. yuck.

But, despite that, I managed to get some more baking in

And to do hair for the musical, "Annie".

Somehow, I got spoiled with another trip to NYC with the best Mom-In-Law to pick up the best Sister-In-Law!

And we stopped at a great Thai Restaurant in Greenwich Village - it was FABULOUS!!!!

And then, for some crazy reason that I won't even bother to get into, we decided to move the salon to the house. Wow. What a project. Hours of work by everyone involved... all the pieces of the puzzle started coming together...

But, the finished product was lovely --

Somewhere along the way of this craziness, we acquired the possession of two very handsome dogs. Brahms and Mozart:

Brahms is a doberman pinscher who is now 10 weeks old.

Mozart is a German Shorthaired Pointer who is 15 weeks old.

We left the doggies home and took another exciting trip to NYC to help end this season on a good note (it has been slightly stressful, albeit, exciting!).

For some reason our travels took us to a Ferrari dealership... Not sure why??

We actually stayed IN NYC. Usually we stay with my Aunt. It was lots of fun.

Rick went to his first Broadway musical. "The Lion King" was excellent. And somewhere along the way I went blonde.

And just for kicks and giggles, more pics of the lovely boys -
