Bike Trip Part IV

I hope that I did not forget too much about the bike trip in the time that I have been away... So here is my attempt at continuing in sharing about Hans and my bike trip. The next day when Hans and I woke up and Hans changed one of my bike tires from me. It had gone flat in the night. I don't think I really shared this but the day before when we had all those wrong turns and everything THEN we went through this strange area where it seemed that there was a lot of sharp metal. I got some in my tire and then after Hans and I changed the tire we were SO convinced that everything would be fast and that we would make excellent time that day. Unfortunately where Hans changed the tire we hadn't seen some broken glass. We dropped off some unnecessary items at the post office and sent them to ourselves. From there we headed out and stopped part way into the foggy day so that we could buy some coffee/chai tea at a cute little coffee stand in Centralia. I ended up getting around 2 flat tires that day and it was so nuts because we had already changed it that morning. Because of all the flats we got a ride for about 7 miles from a really cool dad and son. They were on their way to help their father in law and grandfather fix his jeep. They were so nice. It was very helpful for Hans and I to be able to get the extra 7 miles. We just needed that extra boost to help us emotionally get through a day with that many flats.
We finally got to Kelso after meeting a guy who travels about as many miles a day to work and back as Hans and I would do on one of our little adventures. We were in a town when it started to get dark.  Hans wanted so badly to eat pizza so that night we went to a pizza place and both ordered a pizza we in no way finished the pizza but we had a good time and stayed in a little hotel that night. Hans and I hadn't had a shower in our journey yet so we found a cheap hotel room just to be able to get a shower. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. I think I took around three showers in the time that we stayed there. That night I slept so well.

So much for staying on top of blogging in the summer.

WELL the other day Hans and I had a wonderful little picnic dinner at the park. Nothing to unique for dinner. We ate the very popular PB&J sandwich along with chips and dip. Here are some pictures! I hope all of you are having as fantastic of a summer as I am having with my wonderful husband!

Save Money: Adventures in Cutting My Own Hair

Hello Lovelies!
I hope you are enjoying the summer! I don't know about where all of you are but where I am at it has been hot. Being a newly wed I am not used to sharing my bed with someone else and so this summer has seemed extra hot in more ways than one. I have been wanting to cut my hair short for quiet some time and just haven't had the guts to do it. You may have noticed my hair length in my catch up post Sorry it's been so long... Anyways if you don't want to go to that picture, no worries here is a picture of me with my fantastic husband just a few days before our wedding.

Anyways so that was the length of my hair before I cut it. I was going to grow it out but summer has been so hot I just had to crop it off. Anyways. I was going to cut it semi short like Kherington Payne's hair in the movie Fame. I did that but then Hans brought up the fact that I have been REALLY wanting to cut it to be actually short...  I cut my hair REALLY short. When I was in high school I had long hair and when I was little I had to get a mullet because well the story is debated but either me or my brother took a scissor to my hair and the results were not the most favorable. SO... Since this time of cutting my hair went better than my mullet moments here is the big reveal [I haven't even told my mother yet!]

Take a look- 

How'd I do?

My new haircut 7/8/2011

Anyways I am still deciding what I think but for now it is fun. 

Tomorrow Hans and I have a family reunion to go to and I am excited to hear what my Mom has to say about my new do. We'll be camping and hopefully I'll get the chance to take some pictures. Have a weekend that is as beautiful as you are! -Au Revoir
