What's Up

So I've been AWOL for a bit of time on the blog.  I've been busy!  That's my only and usual excuse.  But it's the truth.

I've been on a major 'tidying-up' kick.  That blog post is coming soon, but probably not until after my two trips coming up.

So for now, here's a little somewhat random blog post.

*My mom told me about this nail polish:

It's a gel polish so I thought I would give it a try.

I really like it!  It stayed on much longer than regular nail polish.  I will definitely pick up some more colors.

*My iPad started to get REALLY glitchy, so I got a new one.  I chose to go with another iPad mini.  I just love how it can fit in my purse.

I got a purple Speck case for it this time.  I love the Speck cases.  They always provide great protection.

*I'm watching this:

It's soooooo good.  But I've only watched the first 3 episodes, so no spoilers please!

*Oh, and I got all of my hair chopped off.

My hair hasn't been this short in quite some time.  But I really like it.  My hair grows REALLY fast, so it's never a huge deal for me when I get it cut short.

And that's all for now!  I'll try to be a better blogger, I promise!

Parents

I lucked out with having fantastic parents.  I love them to pieces.  They came to visit us for a few days a couple of weeks ago.  We had such a good time, but it just went WAY.  TOO.  FAST. 

They arrived Thursday afternoon and left on Monday morning.  We did a lot of eating (Weck’s, a steakhouse, Cheddar’s, pizza, a cookout, etc).  We went to Hastings a few times (different ones).  My mom loves looking for concerts on DVD and movies and my dad likes vinyl.  And I like everything at Hastings.  All of their used movies were 50% off.  We went to a few flea markets too. And Charming Charlie (twice!).  I had never been to Charming Charlie (it’s been here for about a year).  I got some cute stuff.

We took a desk to my husband’s new office downtown and helped him get set up a bit more.  His view from his new office:

Saturday we went to Balloon Fiesta.  It was the most perfect weather ever!  It was so much fun.  I got some great pictures.

 We went to our Sunday meeting and my parents got to sit in on their first French WT study.  :)

Sunday afternoon we had a cookout.  

I’m kicking myself for not taking more pictures when they were here.  Most of my pictures were from the Balloon Fiesta, but I did find this one in my phone of the dogs and my mom.  They loved her!

It was fun and a great visit.  I’m planning to visit in January to meet my new nephew so I’ll get to see everybody again then.  I miss them already!

P.S. - this is my most favorite picture that I've ever taken of the balloons:
