So, a long long time ago I talked about chopping my hair off but never actually got around to it. I was inspired by Elin chopping off her long hair of many years and thought I would do the same (in almost the same cut! haha Sorry if I am a copy cat) but I thought it was so adorable and I thought it would be a style that I would like. After changing my mind and researching photos I finally got up the guts to do it.

I went to this adorable little place in Burbank that I've been wanting to go to since Chad and I got married. Six months later, I went to
Frenchy's this adorable little retro style salon that was totally fun and I ended up loving haircut! I put a before picture so you can all see how much I cut off (about 7 inches) and to show you what a little makeup and a great haircut can do!

A few weeks ago I had some of my first non-wedding related visitors! Caren and Annika came to visit. One of the best parts of the visit was it gave me an excuse to go to Disneyland around halloween! It was awesome!

Some of the highlights included not waiting in hardly ANY lines,we went on everything and on matterhorn and space mountain twice. This is me psyched that I got to go on the teacups (because Chad doesn't like them).

Caren had an eventful Disney trip and quit her job somewhere between the line for Peter Pan and wandering around Toon Town! She was so happy to have quit her job and at Disneyland none the less! She made a sign to email to her work via a Buzz Lightyear picture but Disney vetoed the picture so we took one ourselves!

Since I wanted to take advantage of my freedom to go on the Teacups, Caren and I went on the teacups 8, YES 8 times! Part of the reason for our multiple Teacups trip had to do with the fact that we had a fast pass for Space Mountain and couldn't cross the road due to a fanciful 'parade of dreams' or something. We just kept going back and back until the parade was over. In case you are worried about my equilibrium, we actually stopped spinning the cups after ride number 3. Either way, I got my fill of teacups for the next 7 trips to Disneyland!

Caren and I got cute matching minnie ear clips! Aren't we annoyingly adorable!

Here are some pictures from Halloween. We had a pretty un-eventful one. No trick or treaters, no parties. Pretty much just Chad and I. But I wanted to get dressed up because I got some cute purple and black striped tights that looked pretty witchy so I opted to be a Witch and Chad went as the Unabomber!

Notice he is even holding a package and looking extra creepy. We went out for dinner and visited some friends! It was a quiet but really fun Halloween.

These are some pics of Caren and Annika on our whirlwind trip of LA. Right after I picked them up from the airport I dropped them off at the Star Walk/Chinese Theater because I had to rush off to job interview. Then we met up and went shoe shopping. After that we headed to westwood village for some yummy greek food at this amazing little place
Daymon and Pthyias After lunch we went the true LA style and got Pedi's (Pedicures to those who dont speak LA).

After getting beautiful soft feet we headed to Santa Monica and the pier where we rode on the ferris wheel, ate funnel cakes and made ourselve sick, watched the sunset, saw a japanase TV show being filmed and part of 'Without a Trace' TV show being filmed as well! It was radical!

After the fun at the peir we hit some shops on 3rd street. The next day we got lunch at this healthy corner shop and checked out the cute vintage and antique shops on Magnolia Avenue in Burbank. We DEFINATELY hit up
Yummy Cupcakes for the best cupcakes in the world. Annika left us to visit some mission families and friends so Caren, Chad and I went to the
LA Temple,
The Griffith Observatory and of course Caren and I finished with Disneyland. If you want to see more pictures from our adventures check them out on
facebook! A few hours after dropping Caren off at the airport I went to yet another job interview, stay tuned and I will let you all know where I end up working full time, in the meantime I am still working doing freelance photoshop from home.

I added this last photo to the blog to prove to Ellen (Chad's mom) and to anyone else who is interested, that Chad pulls his weight around the house. Cleaning the fridge out has to be one of my least favorite things in the world. For the record, I did a pre-purge of all the gross food and Chad, my amazing husband, really got in and cleaned the fridge with pure elbow grease and love! Thanks Chad!
