I Got a New Haircut... Lalalalalala

Here it is! I love it! Justin's still getting used to it. Chris thinks it is cute. What do you think? Oh, and did I mention that it is super easy to do?

Haircut

Okay... I'm going to do it...

I have had long hair since Justin and I were married nearly five years ago. Before that, I had super short hair. I know that I swore that I would never chop my hair so short that I couldn't put it in a pony tail, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to chop it today... and I'm SO EXCITED! Anyway, for all of you who will miss my glorious, long tresses, I'm posting one last picture of them here.

Chris' New Do

Chris wanted to cut his hair because it "wasn't curling right." So, I grabbed my clippers and set to work. He wanted to rock a hawk for a few minutes before cutting all the hair off, so here is a close up of his "mohawk." Thank goodness for Elmer's glue...

New Blog Background

I created this new background using my Adobe Photoshop and some tips from a website I found through my sister-in-law's (Jody's) blog page. Sorry if you can't see the whole image. For those of you that will ask, yes, that is Campbell of Argyle plaid. A picture of Justin and I are on the left and just Justin is on the right. It was amazingly simple. Here's the link if you want to do it yourself.

Poor Puppy

On Friday, we had to take our puppy into the vet. I hate doing that because vets are so expensive, but our little puppy was in a lot of pain. Anyway, we found out that because her mother didn't nurse her long enough, her little bones were deformed and her immune system wasn't up to snuff. In fact, because of a fall, her abdomen was full of fluid and her kidneys were inflamed. Not to mention her ribs were flared and didn't connect to her sternum. The doctor gave her a 10% chance of living if we spent at least $2000 dollars and put her immediately through surgery. Even with all that, she would probably get sick again and it would probably be worse. So with that information, we decided to have Lily put down. I have decided that we are never, ever, ever getting another dog. It hurts Justin too much when they die.

Annual Laub Reunion '08

Saturday was the annual Laub family reunion up at the farm. We took off a bit late and almost didn't make it in time for lunch. It was fun to hang out with and catch up with the cousins that came. We played Deal or No Deal (in which I scored $10), went wheelin', played a friendly game of volleyball that was sabotaged by the sun, two trees and a fence, ate some great food, and played a cute game of baseball. Then we watched Michael Phelps win his record 8th gold medal. Yeah, we didn't get home until way late, but it was fun!

So much awesome! (great grammer, eh?)

Okay, so to start I'll take you back to the third of the month when I turned 24!

We had a birthday party at Justin's parents' house and soooo many people came! Thank you everyone who attended, I really appreciated it!

Next onto this last weekend. My parents, youngest brother, and a family friend came down from Fernley for the weekend and I was able to spend some time with them. We watched the Olympics (mainly the events, we saw a bit of the opening ceremony), went shopping (I got a new Dan Brown book Deception Point to read before Twilight which I have heard is awesome) and then went paint balling with my brothers and his friend.

So, all in all, it has been a great month!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
