Changing things up!

I haven't really cut my hair since almost a year before Michael and I met. I've trimmed it multiple times, but never cut it. I wanted it long for the wedding so that I could pull it up, and since Michael liked it long, I've kept it fairly lengthy. I finally got sick of it and how difficult it was to brush my hair out some mornings (since my arms don't bend backwards very well). This is what my hair looked like this morning before I left for work:

It's still a little wet

 And this is what it looked like when I arrived home after work:

I was SO ready to get it cut! Like I said at the beginning of this post, I haven't really cut it short for almost 3 years. I think I trimmed it and kept it short until Michael and I met, but it's just been growing out ever since then. It may have been a drastic one, but I was definitely ready for a change!

Happy Halloween!

Last year we had just moved into our house and didn't have many decorations for Halloween. This year, we have a few more. This is what our house looks like right now!

Our cute porch. Yes, that is a black light. :)

Are you ready to meet...?

We have a new addition to our family.

Meet Kermit

We were in the garden yesterday, weeding and "winterizing" the flowers, and all of a sudden, Michael says, "Is that a frog?" I looked where he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a little frog hopping through the garden. I rescued it and brought it inside. We quickly abandoned the gardening and ran to Petco for some information on taking care of a frog. We think he is a tree frog (we think he's a he too), just because we live in a desert and there aren't many lakes around for him to be an aquatic frog. :)
We bought a 10 gallon aquarium, a water bowl, some coconut soil (that is supposed to hold moisture really well), a little plastic tree and some dechlorinator for the water we put in the water bowl and mist occasionally around the habitat to keep it moist. We bought some pellets too to feed him, but when we got home and looked closer at the label, we realized that they were sinking pellets, for aquatic frogs. So today while Michael was at work and Finn was getting her nails trimmed, I asked a clerk at Petco what would be the best thing to feed a frog. They said crickets (ewwwww!), and showed me where I could grab a bag of small ones. I brought them home and dumped all 8 of them into the cage, and I'm pretty sure there are only 2 left now. Apparently Kermit was a hungry little guy! We now will have to keep little crickets on hand so Kermit has something to eat!

Kermit's sweet setup. Please excuse the messy table behind it. :)
