Love My Highlights...

I did say I was going to blog about normal everyday things. So, since I do not think anyone wants to hear about grocery shopping (had to carry all the groceries up to the second floor since Barry was at work) or cleaning the kitchen (just one load of dishes left to finish), I will talk about my highlights that I got done Friday.

The lady that does my hair had been trying to get me to add darker red to my highlights for over 2 and a half years. About 6 months or so ago, I gave in. We did not go as dark as she wanted me to (some German women in the bigger cities have some crazy version of red I had never seen before), but I wanted it to be at least somewhat noticeable. The first time she did it, I was not sure I liked it, but now I love it and I barely notice a difference when I get it done.

This time I noticed a difference, mainly because it had been an extra week. I was supposed to go last week, but we were waiting to find out the results of our beta test. That extra week made a big difference.

But anyway, I will post a picture of my new highlights (new to you all, not me). I love them.

Time To Move On...

Well, I decided to start a new blog since we are not actively trying to get pregnant anymore. Of course, if it happens, we will be thrilled. But for now, as this blog says, we are movin' on. I want to do a blog about the things we will do here in Europe in the next year. Some of it may just be mundane for most, but I am going to try to do a better job of keeping a record of the things we do. We can still have fun just the two of us. There is so much that we want to see and do while we are here in Europe. So, now we are going to try to do it.
We are going to be buying a cross-trainer machine to start working out on a daily basis. I don't think just the Wii Fit is going to help me to lose all of this weight that I have put on it the last 10 years. It is still fun, and I will still do it, but I think I need something a little more strenuous.
And we will also we turning our second bedroom into a guest bedroom instead of a nursery. Now we will have a bed for our parents to sleep in when they come to visit us. We can't wait to have visitors.
Barry (and me too sometimes) is surprised by how well I am taking all of this. Sometimes it is hard, but I am glad to have an answer for now. I have spent so many years thinking and worrying about all of this, taking tons of different meds, and just feeling down. It is nice to feel better. As all of the meds get out of my system, I am starting to feel more like myself again. And that is a good feeling. Yes, I am still planning to pack away all the baby and maternity things, and yes, seeing other people with their babies still makes me sad and teary. But I know that I will be okay and it is just time to move on for now and concentrate on other things. Hopefully one day I will know how to feels to be a mommy, but for now, I have to concentrate on just being me.
