With Josh's graduation and his cousin's wedding, Josh's brother Justin, his wife, Tina, and their son Jack came out to visit. It was really good to spend time with them.

My Crazy Adventurous Weekend

So, my sister has been working at Carlton International, a hair salon in California. She already has her cosmetology license, but had to take more classes through her employer to be a stylist at their salon. She is currently in her last course, which is 6 weeks long. She has to do specific haircuts by certain points in the course. One of the haircuts she needed was a graduated bob. She was told that if she did not get it by April 22, they would kick her out of the class and she would have to start the class all over. She was having a difficult time finding someone who wanted the haircut. I kept telling her that if I could, I would have driven down for the weekend so she could cut my hair. I was talking to my dad while I was at work Friday night (I work from 7pm until 5am) and told him how I wished I could help her out. He offered to fly me down the next morning and we were able to work it out so this could be done. I left work at 4:30 am, went home and packed a few things, then Josh took me to the airport. From the airport I went straight to the salon to get my haircut, ate lunch, then went home and showered. I had about 20 minutes to spend at home until I had to return to the airport. The best part about the whole thing is that the haircut was a lot longer in the front than I wanted. There wasn't really time for my sister to fix it for me so I went to Fantastic Sams the following Monday and got another haircut!

This one is for my little sister...

One of the first things she asked Josh when she met him was what kind of car he had. She was so excited when she found out, in her own words, he drives a "hatchi-pooh" - even if it is an older model (1985). She has been begging to see pictures of his car, so here they are.

Josh absolutely LOVES his car. After we bought the jeep, we put for sale signs in my '95 civic and Josh drove it around so we could advertise our vehicle...this only lasted a couple days because he missed his car. One of Josh's favorite things about his car is how spacious it is. You may not believe this, but the amount of leg room this vehicle has is astounding - it has more than our jeep!Josh is always telling people his car has leprosy - here is what the roof looks like. At least I know my husband will still love me when I get old and wrinkly!

CRAZY GIRLS!!!

I have the COOLEST cousin ever! Her name is Rachel and she is 10 years old. We don't see each other often enough - when we get together things can get pretty crazy! Here are the pictures to prove it!
