Lovely Lately...

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Lately..
It's been great.
Ok,
Most of the time it's great,
so this isn't really news.
But let me just share a bit, eh?

I gave James a haircut! My very first one. It's called a Eurohawk (in case you were wondering, a Mohawk is where everything is shaved except the very defined spikes all the way down. A Fohawk is a milder version of that, stopping at the apex {top of the head}. And a EUROHAWK is the European version of the two combined. It's pretty much a thick fohawk that goes all the way down the head.)  Let's just say I plan to be really talented.

We went to Jackson Hole last weekend with Heather and Erick and had a blaaaast! Heather had never been and the rest of us hadn't been in a long time, so we decided to make the 1 1/2 hour drive to that awesome city. We ate at a gourmet grilled cheese place, where James got the French {caramelized onions, brie, on french bread} and I got the Granny {tomato, pepper jack, applewood smoked bacon on sourdough}, and it was so fetching DELICIOUS. We walked along the board walk and had a lot of fun looking around the shops. We even went to this elegant chocolate shop and I couldn't resist trying one. They were about 2 bucks a pop but, to me, sooo worth it. I got a Saffron Vanilla Bean chocolate and James got a Orange and Sea Salt chocolate. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
At the end of the day, we went for a stagecoach ride and saw a live show in the town square. All in all, a fantastic day.
P.S.- The one thing I wanted was a ring; Not necessarily anything nice, but just a cute ring that would remind me of this day in Jackson Hole. James knows I love turquoise. But because it's so expensive, I've never really had anything real turquoise. He was way more enthusiastic about finding me a turquoise ring than I was. So we looked around the shops and found a couple I fell in love with. One was a vintage one, made in the 50's, and it was adorable, but a nice $70 so I said definately no. We found a different one we loved for half that price and it's beautiful. I love my new ring!

James is a little self conscious about his chest in this one... But I still think he's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Plus he's already lost a couple more pounds since then!

He's graduated! This is all the way back in April, but i'm posting it now! Yay James!

Sometimes we go on walks.

Sometimes we go see Bill Cosby.

I want a puppy dog! This is our friends lil puppy. They invited us over for dinner and I fell in love with their fluffy dog.

Sometimes James grows a beard....cause I request it.

Sometimes we take sneaky pictures in church.
That aren't really flattering to either of us.

We go to the Drive In's pretty much whenever there's new movies because you get a double feature for 6.50! It's a steal. This time we saw Snow White and the Huntsman and Battleship. Snow White was really interesting and I liked it except they didn't develop the Huntsman character enough! Plus James knows I have a secret crush on the Huntsman--he's so fine. But Battleship sucked. Except it had Rihanna in it so that was pretty neat-o.

We've created this perfect method of comfort for watching the movie--through much trial and error. What you see here is about six layers of goodness, with our warmest blanket on top. Plus James is our personal heater. And then we each have two pillows. And those pillows are resting on towel-covered boulders that lend support if cushioned correctly. Aaaaaaand a bottomload of snacks to make our bellies happy.

I love this candid shot for some reason. Even though he kind of looks like a puppy.

Well, I think that's enough for now! More later. 

A few more updates for y'all who care:

- I can start cutting hair officially on Monday. Scary...!

Well........... peace.
