D&K adventures: So, Derrick is growing his hair “long” – like somewhere between the traditional Keith Urban hair [I have to say “traditional” because he got a new du for Hollywood week! Anyone else watching American Idol this year?] & Brad Pitt from World War Z would be the goal. So far, it’s simply been aggravating – his hair is super thick & wavy & seems to love the “fluffy” look. HOWEVER – this week we had a break-through! We went to our super amazing hair-dresser & she showed him a different way of styling it that suddenly looked oh-so-close to the Google Images we had been looking through! YES – finally! We’re getting somewhere!
Abby’s antics: We went for our very first walk of the year!! The last few days have been unseasonably warm – and when it’s been in the negative temperatures for so long, 40˚ sure feels like a heat wave! So, above freezing temps paired with the brilliant sunshine – who could resist going for a nice long walk?? It was so refreshing & yet so wet. We had to cross several ponds & lakes & even an ocean on our way around the neighborhood – I guess that’s what happens when you have 18″ of snow melting!
Radiating thankfulness: Last weekend, I went home to visit my family [gotta love those 3-day federal holiday weekends!]. I left Derrick at home [he ate pizza & played video games all weekend with his best friend – so don’t you go feeling bad for him] and I had a fabulous weekend of shopping, watching the Lego movie, celebrating my sister’s 15th birthday, and cuddling with my baby sister. It was wonderfully relaxing. And NOW, the next time we will see my family – will be the day before we all go on our cruise!! I’m not counting down the days or anything *cough*.
