Last night I got a haircut. The haircut is nothing amazing or spectacular...it is a good haircut, but just a trip as i (again) grow my hair out. On a whim, I decided to have my eyebrows waxed. This is the first time in all my 31 years that i did this. I naturally have big, bushy eyebrows, but I thought I took care of them pretty well. She did one, and then gave me a mirror. I was amazed at how good it looked after being waxed! This could be a new addiction to work into the budget!
In other news, this week I am learning what it's like to be an Army wife. Scott is in charge of organizing his unit's 3 week trip to WI in August, so he had to drive there Monday and Tuesday to take a class. He left for Ames (his post) at 5:30am on Monday, checked out a Humvee (sp?), drove 5 1/2 hours to Ft. McCoy in WI with no radio, no air, and no conversation because the windows were down and the engine is loud. Tuesday morning he took a one hour class, picked up a couple big boxes of stuff, drove 5 1/2 hours back to Ames, checked in the vehicle, and drove 1 1/2 hours home. Wednesday he spent the day at home washing uniforms and repacking. Thursday morning he left at 5:30am for Ames, then his unit convoyed back to Des Moines for 4 days at Camp Dodge doing training exercises. Sunday afternoon he will drive back up to Ames, then come home.

your waxing comments made me laugh ... you look lovely in your pic ... but you always do :)
I hope this being apart is not often the case for y'all in your married life!
Been there. Done that. It stinks to be apart. I know how it feels so give me a call if you need!
I love getting my eyebrows waxed it makes such a difference.
