It Makes Me Laugh!

While everyone was home for the holidays, we girls hit the mall for the after-Christmas sales. One of my favorite stops was shopping for Jenny at the Motherhood store. (I'm so pumped about being an auntie AGAIN!) They had FAKE preggo bellies hanging in the dressing room, so Jules joined Jenny in giving us a little fashion show. In the first picture they're doing the proud mommy pose, which is when we noticed Jenny's belly was a little warped and looked very unreal while Julie's looked picture perfect. We were all laughing...except for Jenny - which made for my favorite picture from the holidays. Every time I see it, it makes me laugh! :) Definitely a memory for the books. You girls crack me up! haha! I have the best sisters in the world - LOVE YOU! :D 

Disclaimer: (sorry, i just had to blog it, that's what little sisters are for...but hey - at least I didn't put it on facebook! you know you're the only ones that read my blog anyway ;) heehee!)

Cut & Color

I got my hair cut today and decided to go a bit darker for awhile until 

summertime.The original plan was to add highlights after the color, but

 my hairdresser thought the old ones were still popping

 through...so maybe another day I'll go back for the highlights. I like it for now because it's different, but I'm not sure what I'll think of it in a couple days - you girls will have to let me know what your opinion is when I see you this weekend - can't wait to be together! (ps. do you like how my pictures are looking at my other picture? heehee!) :)

   

300th Post!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to 300 posts! I've been blogging since 2005, (check out my first post!) and this is all I've got. ;) haha! Anyway, I thought it would be kind of cool to post interesting facts that have to do with the number 300. I found a list, but didn't check anywhere to see if they were accurate, but it's interesting anyway! :)

HelainE in MinnesotE

It was recently brought to my attention by a friend -Sara ;)- that fall is over and although it is a great season, we are well into winter, which also has it's perks (though few they may be). I'll do my best to be a faithful blogger at least for awhile. It was also brought to my attention that I tend to be a binge blogger, so don't worry, I won't try to catch you up from here on out with multiple detailed posts. I'll post some highlight pictures and then get on with my life. Haha! However, I did find a post in my drafts (from Nov. 13th!) with a bunch of uploaded pix from last semester when I was able to meet up with Brittany and my dear friend, Helaine, for a wonderful lunch hour in Albert Lea. We had such a fun time together catching up and then of course, taking pictures:

Trying to take a normal picture, but that just never happens on the first try with Helaine, so Brittany & I joined in. 

The Gopher Girls

And of course, the traditional singing picture! Miss you, HelainE! 

AND I want to say CONGRATS to you and Phil, the lucky guy who's dating you! Love you!
