Airplane Nursery

Before I post about Jacob's wedding and my family's visit, I want to show off Matthew's room. I've been working hard on it for the last few weeks, and it's most of the way finished. I have a few more touches I want to add, but that will probably always be true.  And if I could decide if I was keeping the purple shelf in his room, I would paint it white. But until then it shall remain conspicuously purple.

Happy Birthday, Anna and Michael

All about Bobs

A few Saturdays ago was a day full of bobs. To start the day, I bought a jogging stroller at a yard sale. It was a BOB Revolution double jogging stroller, which in case you know nothing about jogging stroller is the best of the best. It's really nice. Apparently the previous owner didn't jog much, because it was in perfect condition. I got home and read through the instruction manual that the owner gave me. Since it's a double, it's rather large and takes up the entire trunk. Thankfully, the wheels are really easy to take off and on. I decided to take it for a spin and went down to a jogging path near my house. The path goes up around the resevoir, but I accidentally took the wrong fork and went up a extremely steep hill to the neighborhood  above the Parkway. By the time I got back down, I was low on water so I only ended up running about three-quarters of a mile. But the stroller worked great.

Then in the evening, I finally couldn't take it anymore, and I went a chopped off my hair. I've been wanting to for a while, especially after I saw the pictures of me at the wedding. I decided my hair had just gotten too long. And it has been so hot that I really just wanted to cut it short. So to continue my day of bobs, I got a chin-length bob. It looks cute. I don't think it's going to be my favorite haircut, but it is sure nice having short hair on a hot day. Plus, it's cut so I don't have to style it, which is always a bonus.

Oh, I have one more exciting thing to tell, though it has nothing to do with bobs. Apparently, the church is getting rid of new.familysearch.org, which I have never liked, and I got chosen to beta test the new website! Pretty cool. I have to say, the new program is a hundred times better. Now, I spend all my free time of this new website. If you are related to me on my mother's side, you'll thank me once you see all that I've done.
