Good Things

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who left a comment or e-mailed me about Pancake. We miss him every day but reading your sweet comments helped me more than I can say. So thank you.
Something good did come from all of this heartbreak. I fell in love with my husband all over again. He took care of me, comforted me when I cried, made me dinner, took care of Henry and Wrigley, and took me to see two movies in one day just so I could escape what was going on. I am so incredibly grateful for him. 

Alright, in other news I decided I needed a change….so I got a haircut!
I got bangs! It still feels so different to me…but I love it. It was just what I needed. One question though, why can’t I ever get it to look like it did that first day? I need a hairstylist to come make me up each morning.

I also broke down and bought that purse I wanted. It was even on sale!

Oh, and our bathroom makeover is finally done! I’ll post about it tomorrow.

    Oh my goodness that bag!!! I love it! And the bangs are so cute on you! I agree with not being able to do my hair like the hairstylist after I get home – it's frustrating!

    Your bangs are really pretty! Maybe if you take a round brush and blow dry them while using the brush (brushing forward in a little circular motion), it may get like that again!

    Love the hair! I'm sure it will always look perfect. Don't stress.
    I also noticed when we saw you that Jon was doing a wonderful job being your husband.
    So glad some happiness has returned to your life.

    I have the same purse! Mine's canvas because my poor purses take serious beatings from all the travel I do, but i LOVE it. It's navy with HOT PINK on the inside. You'll love it too!
