I've also been wanting to get a new camera... like a GOOD camera. I have been looking through photography done on film and I'm obsessed. It's just so beautiful! Someday... 

Back back to Cali Cali

Tomorrow morning we will be saying bye bye to beautiful Washington and be on the road back to California! I am going to miss this place so much. I really fell in love with this state! Maybe we will be back someday. Who knows where we will be! That's one thing I love about the military. We get to see the world. We have a long road trip ahead of us and I hope little Meeka holds up in the car for 20 hours! We will see how far we get...snow predictions this weekend. Aahh!
I'm going to miss this...

Breathtaking place..

We are both very excited to be home with our families though! And super excited for everyone to meet our baby, Meeka!
Our little sleepyhead this morning

Side note-
I got my nails did yesterday! I tried something new and I'm obsessed! Shellac nails!

Goodbye acrylic nails! Never again. I'm loving this deep red.

 Our apartment is so empty. Sleeping-on-the-floor empty. Alright, time to clean this place some more.

New Hair

I know I already posted about chopping my hair off but it changed again! I went to get it fixed yesterday at the hair salon. I was kind of embarrassed explaining the situation to the hairdresser but she said something must be in the air because another lady came in who cut her hair off just the other day! Haha how funny. Something even more amusing-she said I did a pretty darn good job! She was impressed with my hair cutting skills with my cheapy scissors. She said she couldn't even tell anything was wrong when I walked in and that all she thought was, "Wow, she has really beautiful hair!" which she continued to tell me throughout the appointment. After she straightened out my hair, I decided to go for a whole new look. "Give me some bangs!" I told her, "Some straight across, Zooey Deschanel bangs!" (love her!)

So this is my new hair...

Loving it! I've gotten a positive response from everyone as well. I'm so excited for this change!

Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you all military members!!! I am proud to have so many close friends, family, and my husband serving our country! I am such a proud Navy Wife! :)

Britney Spears Moment...

Well, it wasn't this drastic

But anyone who knows me knows that my LONG hair is like my trademark. I have had extensions since I was 15. Although, my hair grew to be just as long as my extensions, I still kept those 22" extensions in. Yes, twenty-two inch, buttlong hair! See for yourself..

I don't know what got into me but I had a mini breakdown and I guess I took it out on my hair. I grabbed the scissors from the kitchen and went into the bedroom and sat in front of the mirror. I separated my hair into two sections and *snip snip*

It was liberating! Refreshing!! My hair has been the same for the past 6 years and it was now so different. I looked at myself in the mirror and started getting lightheaded! "Did I REALLY just cut my hair off?!"

I ran out to the living room with the scissors in one hand and a chunk of cut hair in the other and asked my husband, "Is this real life?" lol I just couldn't believe it! I ran to the restroom and touched the ends of my hair and he looked at me and said "Yup, this is real life" followed by me bursting out into loud sobs and tears.

 He kept saying "Hair grows, babe" but to me, it wasn't just hair. It was a security blanket. My long, curly hair was something I loved about myself. Something people even envied. Having hair barely pass my shoulders was completely out of my comfort zone. I got in the shower thinking maybe it would wake me up and my hair would be back but when I got out, the hair I had cut was still there sitting on the bathroom counter.

I kept saying, "Do I look weird? Does it look bad? My hair is so short. Oh my gosh, it's so short. I have no hair. Do I look ugly?" and my husband replied with, "It looks great. I really like it. It's new, different, better." And now, I'm starting to like my new look. My hair feels healthier, thicker! I think it'll be fun and cute and a great change for me. Although, I think I should have a professional fix it a bit since I just chopped it off straight across hahaha

Anyway, I can always get extensions!

Puppy Love

I am just so in love with my little girl!

Look at that face! And how can you NOT love those huge ears???

She is getting so big but she still tries to curl up in mama's lap!

Look what we got her...

YES. A Christmas sweater. And she looks so precious! My little Santa

Although, she follows these sets of rules:
1) If it's on the floor, it's mine.
2) If I can jump up and reach it, it's mine.
3) If it's dangling, it's mine.
4) If it smells like food, it's mine.
5) If it's in your hands, I will make it mine.

Lol we still love her and I love doggies!

My sleepy pup. I want to adopt another, she needs a friend! And maybe a kitty and they can all be best of friends! Lol animal lover :)

Halloween/Happy November!

Yesterday was Halloween! Our first Halloween as a married couple :) We were going to go to this huge pumpkin patch that had hayrides, hot dogs, pumpkin pie, apple cider, a petting zoo, corn mazes, and a haunted corn maze at night! BUT because we live in Washington, the haunted corn maze was closed because it turned more into a haunted swamp from all the rain. Boooo! So we stayed in and carved an itty bitty pumpkin!

Grrr, scary pumpkin!!

We watched all the Halloween movies that came on TV and I baked some cute cookies!

Now, it's already November!!! Can't believe it. Time to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas time!

Isn't she getting so big?! Oh my goodness!

We need to take a family photo! Ezekiel, myself, and our little Meeka!!
