Slacker!

I know (Monica)! I have been the biggest slacker in updating my blog. You may wonder why... well not those of you who know... Yes, I am dating again, there really wasn't that big of a break. I met Kelly pretty much 2 weeks after things with Derek ended. (Grandma loves the whole Shelly/Kelly thing...I know, funny) So, here's the rundown: he just turned 35, has a son (10) who lives in AZ, has an awesome dog (Chopper), is from Beaver & yes loves to camp, hunt & fish! We actually went camping this last weekend. (It's been a while since I've gone camping without toilet facilities close by.) Kelly is a diesel mechanic here in St. George. I have met some of his family, talked on the phone with one of his sisters and will probably meet his son when he comes for a visit next month....we may go camping again.

Okay....so that parts done. I guess things have been pretty busy for other reasons as well. I went to Grand Junction for Mother's Day & Ruby's blessing. It was fun because the ZBird family was able to come spend a few days too. We got family pictures taken which is always fun....right? I love having updated pictures, it's just harder the bigger the group....especially with an infant & 22 month old.

I promise to add pics later, hopefully not too much later. My next week off I'm spending some time in AZ. Can't wait to see Leslie's baby boy!!!! Hopefully Jen's little guy too!

The Hair Week

So, I decided that if in fact I do find & buy a house, I won't be able to keep up the darker hair color. It is also almost summer & a good time to go lighter. I went to have my color closer to my natural color so the growth wouldn't be so noticeable. Well, apparently I shouldn't have chosen a gold toned color. My hair just soaks it up & the girl put me under the dryer because the last time I went in my roots wouldn't take the color. This made the color more intense & more of an orangey color. This wouldn't have been so bad if it was more throughout the rest of my hair, but NO....I had orangey roots & the rest was dark....not too cute! I went back the next day for almost 3 hours to have it fixed. They had to first use bleach to pull out some of the darker color & the roots. This caused flaming, "carrot top" orange roots! Now I don't have anything against that color hair....it just doesn't look good on me. Thankfully it is much better now, but I didn't have any of my natural color left for the second girl to work from. My hair also got a little damaged from all this so today I got 2 inches cut off. Kinda sad because I've been trying to grow it out, but it really needed to be cut. I like it & can still pull it up for the summer heat & work. I'll have to post pics when it looks cute. The cut is the same as I've had, just the color is different.

House Hunt Update:
This is not fun! 2 houses I've put offers on didn't go through. Really bummed about the second one. I now understand what many of you have been through....looking & looking for your house. My enthusiasm has died down, but am still kinda looking. I'm just afraid that what I really want is too far out of my price range. I'm trying to keep it all in perspective....this is only my FIRST place and I AM still single & don't need a lot of space. It'll happen one of these days.

Update in Pictures

This is my update for the last month. You may notice I had a hard time keeping my eyes open in some of the pics....what's up with that? hahaha
