Totally made my Tuesday! (hair ed.)

I finally found my a salon that works with my hair. I always walk out with a great color and cut.

And I feel totally pampered and relaxed. Yes, it may cost more than I like to spend. And that vein in Mr. R's forehead may start to throb when he sees the credit card bill.

But I LOOK and FEEL fantastic. And that is ALL that counts!

Happy Birthday Simon & Sophie!

Simon and Sophie are 5 today!

We often say that Simon and Sophie saved our marriage. Our first year of marriage was rough, but the pups gave a us a reason to come home and spend time together. They made us realize that there is more to life than work, promotions, and money. They made Mr. R and I stop and reflect about what it means to love someone or something unconditionally. We love them so much!

And of course its not a birthday without ice-cream cake!

And that's OKAY!

A fellow blogger, Kate, posted recently that she is learning to deal with the unexpected and embrace the unplanned and imperfect. She has actually made the phrase "...and that's okay!" her new motto.

This weekend, Mr. R and I were off on a road trip to visit family and see the hills of upstate South Carolina. It didn't work out as planned. We missed out on BBQing and fireworks, and we ended up spending 14 hours in the car and only 12 hours at our destination.

And that's okay!

This weekend was definitely different from the plans that I had imagined. And that's okay! The good news is, We did get to see Mr. R's grandparents, pick lots of blueberries, have pancakes, and see a few new sites.

And just when I started to sulk about missing out of the fireworks over Lake Hartwell our neighbors put on an amazing show that I can watch from the puppy park. It's not downtown or Disney world, but that's okay! Because we are finally home and Mr. R. bought me dinner.

And lastly, I found my Eugenia Kim hat. (This is the very same hat I have been stalking and trying to buy for over a month! And it was on clearance 50% off!)

And that's MORE than OKAY!

Mary, Mary... How does your garden grow?

Views from Mr. R's grandparents garden in South Carolina.

Food tastes so much better when you pick it yourself.

And when you are 100% sure its organic :)

Wiggin' Out!

My goal for the evening was to look like a Spanish soap-star!

I think the telenovela look, might work for me. I may need to get a bit darker though first.

All the ladies!

Can we just talk about how normal Ashley looks in her wig?

As the GWOKs would say, "pulling it off!"

And how cute are Jem and Diana Ross?

Rachel's wig not only had braids, but curls and cornrows.

I have no words.

Happy Birthday Heather!

Happy 4th! - With love the Republicans!
