Short or Long?



So, I've been debating on cutting my hair. I get excited about having it short and styled - I think it's fun, but then I remember that I won't have the convience of pulling it in a bun (which happens frequently). So, what do you guys think? What are the pro's and con's of both? ...I've also been pondering the post pregnant hair loss, which might be more easily handled in a short style... humnn... what to do?

So much has happened...

It seems like forever ago that we were in Nauvoo. So much has changed and happened in our lives. This post goes from current back to Nauvoo. There are a million stories and people that have played a part in all this. I have learned in my personal journal keeping that I am not good at going back and catching up, it's better just to take the loss and start where I'm at and go forward. So, this is my febal attempt to catch up, and I'll do better and posting. I'm looking forward to the holiday's though I am not sure what adventures they will hold. This little guy is due December 20th. If he is anything like his siblings he might be here as soon as the Sunday after thanksgiving... So, we will get ready and play the holiday's by ear. So... here is the catch up...


Oct 2-9, 2009 Matt and I were able to go to florida! We had airplane vouchers, a timeshare that was about to exire, Mattina was off track, and I could still travel. It seemed like the perfect opportunity and we couldn't pass it up. We spent a wonderful week together and enjoyed the ocean and snorkling. The weather was fantastic!

Septemper 28, 2009 We bought a van... We have known this was coming with the addition of #3 to our home. The trick was getting the van I wanted in the price range Matt wanted. I think we did pretty good:) We are happy to have that off of our "to do before the baby gets here" list. The funny thing is, we fit right into our new ward... there is the whole row of mini vans, and we park in that row too... crazy.

August 21, 2009 We attended our last ward overnighter with the Clinton 8th ward. We spent all day Saturday tubing down the stream with several families that were able to stay. Saying goodbye has been beyond difficult...

August 17, 2009 Mattina started Kindergarten. Syracuse Elementary is a year round school, so her class had been going for a few weeks. She has jumped right in and loves it! Her teacher got married unexpectedly while they were off track and turned in her two week notice last week. Her last day is December 4th. So, Mattina will get a new teacher... A crazy way to start school.

August 12, 2009 We moved from Clinton to Syracuse, not very far, but a whole world away.
