Hair Blues

I swear every post I make is regarding hair, holidays, or my animals. (My apologies)

I'm in another "bleh" hair mood. Mostly because my color is starting to grow out and I need to color it soon anyway.

Recently I got the cojones to try an official ombre.

Needless to say, it was quite drastic. It took me a few weeks to get used to it and I could tell by the reaction of a lot of friends/family it was definitely shocking.

Mission accomplished??

Currently sporting this hot mess

I was starting to feel like this...

I know I'm definitely done with the ombre. I'm pretty tired of it and a huuuge part of me just wants my hair color to be normal again.

What's normal, you ask?

Not this... 

This is probably the blondest I've ever been

 Or this...

I would say this is red? Who knows...

 But THIS!

And here is the standard brown I've always had.

Another thing I miss is having bangs. I have some really sweet coworkers who tell me to chill out and not chop my grown out bangs, but it's reallllllllly tempting.

Half Marathon?! Bleh.

I hate running.

A LOT.

But I really need something to kick my butt into shape and my sweet, wonderful friend Brandi suggested I do the Utah Valley Marathon with her in June.

Half was all she could get out of me.

So here is my commitment to actually start training and DO IT!!

JUNE 9, 2012

Ombré

I finally go the guts to go ahead and have my sister color my hair a little more...dramatic.

The style is know as Ombré, or "melting".

Here was my inspiration:

And here is a pretty crappy picture of how mine turned out:

I promise it looks a lot better in person.

Thoughts?

Griswold Style Christmas

Our Christmas decorations are finally hung!

(Hallelujah!)

Yes, ESPN is on our TV. Also, please notice the mismatch stockings. Ours are maroon, Willis & Edgar's have paws and bones on theirs.

All that work wore Willis out

Last year I went a little crazy and bought a bunch of lights to hang on our house, but we didn't have a ladder so...yeah. No lights.

This year I made Bryant go beg our neighbors to borrow theirs.

This was my inspiration:

May I present...

  "I dedicate this house...To the Jensen Family Christmas!"

**Incase anyone was curious, Bryant held the ladder while I did all the hanging. Also, as you look at the lights across the top of the garage, just know that I had to crawl up the roof, army-crawl while straddling the peak WHILE holding a strand of lights. And we did a lot of the light hanging at night after I got off work. Impressed yet? You should be.**

Merry Christmas!!

Incase you wanted to see my Christmas post last year... 

Mmm...Fall!

I love fall for many reasons!

1. My Anniversary/Birthday Hybrid rolls around

2. Sweater Weather

3. College Football=Happy Bryant (and I really love watching the games too)

4. PUMPKIN!!!

My sister Reesa was the first person to suggest getting a Pumpkin-Oreo shake from Big J's, and I thought it sounded disgusting...until I actually tried it.

Now I loooove pumpkin flavored anything, specifically:

Starbucks Pumpkin Steamer

Pumpkin flavoring, hot milk, whipped cream



 And more recently since moving to Utah County I have discovered

Red Mango Pumpkin Spice

Ahh. Divine!!

Add a few white yogurt chips and you're set!



Stay away from Farr's Pumpkin Ice Cream. It's pretty nasty. 

And I would like to denounce two of my coworkers, Ashley & Kelsey, for being enablers and making Starbucks/Red Mango runs with me.

Don't Even Reply

Every once in a while Bryant becomes obsessed with a website and will waste hours upon hours on it.

Here is the latest one:

DontEvenReply.com

Even as I type this he is out in the family room, not breathing because he's laughing so hard.

Basically some guy will respond to ads on CraigsList and post the hilarious correspondence between him and the seller.

It's actually pretty dang funny.

Enjoy!

Spring 2012

Guess what I did today...

I officially applied for GRADUATION!!

Incase anyone forgot, I AM still attending Utah State University. The most common reaction I get when I mention school is, "You're in school? I had no idea..."

Haha yes...I am almost done though!

My original degree was Public Relations with a minor in Political Science. Marriage, moving, and working full-time definitely threw a wrench in my plans. I was too stubborn to transfer to UVU or BYU so I decided to finish out my degree online. The problem with that is you can't finish Public Relations online. So unless I wanted to start over, I had to switch my major to "Interdisciplinary Studies", which takes all my credits and gives me a degree.

So from Fall of 2007...
