Hair

I got my hair done today and my eyebrows waxed for the first time since........eeekk can't believe I'm going to admit this.....since my wedding....in November. Ok true a few people might know I got my hair cut once since then but at a totally random little place near our home in Houston just because it was ridiculously long. But, since my wedding I have not had my highlights done or had a truly professional good hair cut and layering. I don't know why I waited. Fear of a finding a new stylist? Lazy? Wanting to save money?

I thought my eyebrows looked fine, no stray hairs, but boy was I wrong when I had them done! Whew such a difference! Love love, Facelogic. I've gone to Facelogic in Waco, Dallas and now Houston for my eyebrows exclusively for 6 years now and I've been so pleased with the results and atmosphere. If you don't like my eyebrows then don't go there! haha! I love them. My grandma Dixie always had a thing about keeping natural looking, thicker eyebrows and I guess it stuck with me. Something she used to say about being in a car wreck and they'd shave off your eyebrows and they wouldn't grow back so keep them nice and thick...I dunno doesn't make much sense but when I think about my eyebrows I hear her voice. Ok that's neither here nor there, I look better today end of story. :)

Then the hair...trivial all this beauty stuff is I know, but it really makes you feel so much better when everything is fresh. I sucked it up and went to a really nice salon in Houston called Traci Scott. I went to the stylist, Cion. He is originally from Hobbs, New Mexico where my college roommate Maggie is from! Small world. He is the nicest and most experienced guy. I didn't think I'd find anyone as good as Casie in Waco, but he has put my fears to ease and is just as good. Can't say better because Casie is just soooo wonderful, but I'm thrilled to find someone not 3 hours away!

Today my hair is a little shorter, and a little lighter, but we toned down the blondeness of the highlights so its more....honey golden...? with a slightly auburn color? and with some darker low lights. Mabye not auburn....I don't know I haven't looked at it enough but its different.

Ah breath of fresh air. Almost didn't make it to my appointment because work was so crazy, but ya know...sometimes you just have to literally say, is this so important that I can't do it later? So I got away and now look refreshed!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!!

This was Hubby's birthday week! He turned 25 last Saturday, June 12! I think I sang happy birthday to him 3 times, maybe 4, and had 3 cakes and he still has a big joint birthday bash this weekend with our dear friends David and Bill, whose birthday's are all within a week.

We went to the lake where Jonathan went fishing first thing Saturday morning, caught 2 fish, then we went golfing with his dad and his sister and new brother-in-law. All before noon...totally Jonathan's idea of a great birthday! Then we were out of the boat with Jonathan wakeboarding and tubing all afternoon followed by all of the Theilig/Pavlic extended family coming over to the lakehouse to celebrate recent family birthdays!

We celebrated Aunt Frances, Uncle Lynn, and Jonathan's birthdays. It was such a joy to be with his whole family. Now its off to Dallas to continue celebarating this weekend!

Love you Jonathan! Happy 25th!

What my Husband Did

So what did my husband do that was so wonderful?

Without my knowledge, he contacted the Baylor University Men's Basketball program and through a series of connections, emails, and phone calls, got a basketball autographed by the entire NCAA elite 8 season team....wait for it...for my Dad for father's day!!!

We went ahead and gave it to him the next time we saw my parent's because Jonathan just couldn't wait. Well I couldn't either!

He just decided that this would be the best gift for my dad and was so excited about it that he didn't even tell me until he had confirmation that it was in the mail.

He even had thought enough to ask for the basketball before the school year was up so that Ekpe Udoh got to sign it before leaving for the Pro's, Tweety Carter signed it before graduation, and of course Scott Drew signed it front and center!! I mean everyone's signature is on this ball.

When my dad opened it, he was shocked. It was so fun! He asked if Jonathan had to tell them his father-in-law had cancer to get this!

Dad said this he doesn't know if Jonathan can ever top this gift, and didn't expect such a great gift so early. Mom kept saying how she wanted to get Dad an elite 8 T shirt but we thought this was a better memento of the season. :)

Jonathan has always been good at surprises, but this one ranks pretty high up there. I love you Jonathan and thank you for being so thoughtful of the people I love most!

Sick :(

I'm sick....so for my memorial day weekend post, see Stephanie's blog. :)

I don't feel like doing all the pictures and everything. It was a much needed awesome break with great friends after a stressful work week and other things. I think I let down so much that my immune system just broke down after all the stress and now I'm just ugh. But I got great meds and am finally beginning to feel better.

I can finally tell you about the wonderful thing my husband did, but that will have to wait until tomorrow as I'm just too tired to do it now and am about to take my cough syrup with codeine. :) Nightnight!
