9 Years

Today makes it 9 years since Cole and I started dating. 9 years ago we started out as friends, starting flirting, Cole assured me that he didn't want a girlfriend, and yet 2 weeks later there he was asking me to be his girlfriend. Only 2 days after my junior prom Cole asked me out. Who knew 9 years later, we'd be married and on our way to 3 kids...well I guess we did know!

Happy Anniversary Cole! May there be many more years and many more kids...I kid, kind of! 

Mother's Day

I had a fantastic Mother's Day! First we went over to the Brennans' house for our traditional Mother's Day Brunch.

Grace all ready to go!

After brunch we headed over to Cole's Mom's house to celebrate Mother's Day with her.

I had a great 2nd Mother's Day and I look forward to spending next Mother's Day with 3 kids!

I Did It!

I chopped my hair off again.

Here's it before I cut it:

and the new do (I have no idea what I'm doing with my hand...checking my pulse??)

I think I like it. I've never been attached to my hair so new haircuts never really bother me.

New Year, New Hair!

New Do

So I took the plunge and chopped my hair off, even though everyone told me not to. I really like it and feel so much better!

So I finally went and got my hair done. It had been a year, yes a whole year, since I last had my hair cut. Cole got me a gift certificate to get it cut and colored for my birthday back in October, but I wasn't brave enough to leave Grace. I finally sucked it up and left Grace for the first time with Daddy for a whole hour and a half. It was so nerve racking, I think I'll wait awhile before I do it again, I couldn't stop worrying. Grace's sleep schedule also got messed up also, I guess she needs her Mommy for her afternoon nap, so she was so overtired last night.

Well here's the before:

and the after:

I'm pretty happy with the results!
