New Hair

Ah yes, the hair........for those of you who I haven't seen since the wedding, I did cut it all off. I didn't do it the morning after the wedding, like I hoped, but a few months later, it all came off. Now that it is short again, I don't know why I kept it long as long as I did...it just doesn't suit me. Here are pics of the wedding hair (which was absolutely worth growing it out for), long and ugly, and then short and sassy....just the way I like it!


































Pictures

I know I haven't written anything in awhile, but I was going through our camera and found some pictures to share. I'll split it up into a few different posts, but browse through and see the goods :)
This first post will be a few pictures of our second honeymoon. We called this vacation our second honeymoon because our first honeymoon was rough. It was a great time together, especially coming off of the busy-ness of the wedding, but it was rough. A week before the wedding I came down with all of the symptoms leading up to my gallbladder removal. We didnt' know what it was that was making me so sick, which caused too much worry and bother, and I spent our first honeymoon jacked up on Percocets....so it was a good time, but some days were full of pain attacks and weariness. Our second honeymoon was pretty much just fun. We met some cool people throughout the week, who we hung out with, played with, and even went on a day trip with one couple we met. And no, we're not swingers. :) We spent alot of time on the beach napping, reading, and Dave played a ton of beach volleyball.
