Post Wedding Chop

I realized yesterday I had been officially growing out my hair for almost 22 months.  Jason proposed in November 2008 right after I had cut my hair shorter than it had ever been - right at my chin.  So 22 months later I looked like this:

And today I now look like this!  :)  (It looks much better in person.  These photos were taken after a looooooong day of work.)  It feels so much better and healthier now.  I can't believe how long I let it go!

And another good weekend

It was so nice to be home for a second weekend in a row.  I'm looking forward to next weekend when we get to head out to DC again, but it was nice to relax a little and save up our energy for a long weekend ahead. 

For the first time ever I ran 12 miles.  I was so proud of myself because in the back of my head I honestly didn't think I could do it.  But I tried to keep a steady pace and at the end of 7 miles, I was still feeling really good.  By the end of 12 I was exhausted and I had to ice my knee yesterday and today.  But it was worth it!  I finally feel like I can actually do this half marathon.  :)

We got to hang out with wonderful friends last night and go to see Baby Rylan for the first time.  She was so good and such a cute baby.  Little Addie still doesn't like Jason.  It cracks me up because the poor boy loves babies so much.  Maybe one day she'll warm up to him.  Ha!

And today was spent lounging around a little bit.  Our little "kids" both got baths.  I only had to tell Belle once to "get in the tub" and she jumped right in.  She's such a hoot. 

Jason was amazing and installed a new lock and deadbolt on our front door.  This thing has been giving us issues for a year now and after not allowing us in the front door twice this weekend...I think Jason finally had enough. 

Time to go relax and enjoy my last few hours before heading back to work tomorrow.  At least it's only a 3 day work week!
