Chopped My Hair

I was driving to the salon and had this conversation with myself: me:"hmmm, maybe I should chop it off?" the other me: "remember the last time you did that? 8th grade and you cried...for weeks." me: "yes, but now I wear makeup so if I have a bad cut my face will make up for it until it grows back." the other me: "well you better speed up to get to the salon before you lose the nerve."

Here is the result...it is extremely easy to maintain...and I still miss Gustavo.

New Office Setup

I haven't hung my Pebble Beach and Yankee Stadium pictures yet...but it will happen! 

Sleepover and iPad Love

Averina, Brown Eyes, Sam Jam, and Mama Berry came for a sleepover. Somehow as the night went on Brown Eyes and Averina ended up in bed with Grandma. Fun was had by all...the little girls I think have really missed Grandpa and Grandma's iPads.  

Avoid The Flu...

What you'll look like when you get dressed in the dark, have the flu, fly across the country, and feel pretty miserable. Color-blocking at its best...

Panera Bread...You'll Always Have My Heart

While in Indiana for work we found a Panera Bread and my heart skipped a few beats! Panera Bread is definitely in my top 5 things I miss most about living in the bay area. 

House Update: Starting to Decorate

 New bedding 

 The purple main bath

The master bath towels...

I promise I'll take more pictures of the house as my decor becomes more visible. 

Sunrise Rise From My New Front Door

Lunch With The Perry's!

Have I ever mentioned how grateful I am that CP married an Idahoan? Well I am very grateful! Now for as long as we are on this cold, white earth I get to see CP and Britt when they come to Idaho for visits. (Remember my earlier post about the future NYE plans with Britt's family every year)

While the Perrys were in town CP treated us to lunch at the Snakebite...so delicious. And even better to catch up with some of my favorites. 

I also thought it was hilarious that CP needed a picture of the oil baroness in front of Berry Oil. I was happy to smile for the camera. Until next time...

New Year's Sledding AND Poncho's Birthday!

The "adult supervision"

 MoCo was a little cold

 Jagger is a solid rock...a very adorable rock! 

 Gordo loves pink...

 Jace was fearless out there

 Mal was a pretty cute snow bunny

 Even with pink goggles, Erin still likes Gordo

 Looking like an idiot with a mtn man hat on is worth staying warm

 Mama Berry and Jagger had the best spot...on the warm couch

 We had a day early celebration to honor Poncho Villa as he got a little wiser the next day. 

This photo is a little blurry but you can tell that Mac and I helped Poncho with those candles...he doesn't have as much hot air as we do. 

Happy Birthday Poncho! Sure love you...and definitely love to tease you. 

Ringing In The New Year

I celebrated in style...first I attended my new yearly tradition, a delicious Mexican Fiesta hosted by BP's parents (who are practically my neighbors). Poor CP was very ill that night so BP and I had to eat most of the flan by ourselves (that flan was amazing). Already looking forward to NYE's at the Horman house next year!  After dinner I went home, started a load of laundry, changed into my pajamas (pictured below), took my meds (including a nice sleep aid), and rang in the new year having a very restful sleep, starting at 9:00 pm.  

Happy New Year to ME!
