My hair looks so beautiful now that it's chopped off! I hope locks of love can use it!
It is going to take a while to get use to it that's for sure, especially the bangs!
My hair looks darker now too, I don't know why but I just don't like it right now!
Yeah, we'll see how it looks in a week, I am definitely going to have to work on the styling!

Now you see it, soon you won't. R.I.P long hair!

Ever since I can remember I have always had extremely long hair and I have always worn it in a ridiculous huge bun on top of my head. Most of my friends who have known me for a while can back me up on this. The first time I met my husband I had my long hair sky high in a bun on top of my head. I have been growing my hair out for the last year so that I can give it to locks of love, and tomorrow is the day! I don't really know how to feel because my hair has always been really long and if my mom had to watch me cut it she would probably cry:) Enjoy these pictures of me with my notorious bun!
I wore a bun at the coast at a family reunion.
A bun on my honey moon
Of course I wore a bun to a party.

This is how long it is now, and right now I can't say I'm sad to see it go, I am so pumped for tomorrow! (After this picture was taken I put my hair up in a bun)

Carving pumpkins

Josh and I love hammering these colorful sticks into our pumpkin!
It's so easy and the kit came with five different pictures to use, we chose a bat!
Almost done!
Yeah, it looks good and I didn't almost cut my arm off carving a face that I would have ruined anyway!

Come on the California teachers union donated, really?

I just want to say how outrageous I think it is that the California state teachers union donated $1million to support gay marriage!! I wasn't that upset when I heard of all the dumb celebrities donating their money to No on Prop 8 but our own teachers union? I expected more of them. This is absolutely ridiculous, I thought of about 100 other things that this union could have used this money for that were educationally based! I saw this article in the Daily Post but this website will do the trick too. This article says that the union is for equal rights, last time I checked same sex partners had the same rights as anyone else. I end this post with saying that you can't call a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that if you have just peanut butter or just jelly. A marriage is not a marriage if it is not between a man and a woman! I'm sorry; seeing our public school union support this made me a little crazy. Sorry to all the teachers that belong to this union and who support Prop 8, I would be outraged if I had to pay dues to this union!

Not everything that happens in Cancun stays in Cancun!

I officially hate Cancun Mexico! I mean come on do you see all these bug bites! And I have more on the other leg. Something attacked me, and I feel really disgusting! I started to notice bug bites appearing on my legs a couple days before we left and I had itch cream but it ran out. So the day we left to go home I felt like an alcoholic trying to avoid alcohol. I have no self restraint I was itching so bad. Josh kept telling me to stop and that the itching would make it worse but I just couldn't! Of course we missed our flight from mexico city, because the dumb plane that picked us up in cancun was late so we spent a total of 10hours in airports that day and I could not find anyone who sold itch cream! Let's just say the flight home was bad! I'm not trying to be dramatic but I really wanted to cut my legs off that day! Luckily that day ended, I found itch cream and now I'm fine, yay! Oh, and another thing that doesn't stay in mexico is sun burns but that picture is for another post:)

We're back

We had an awesome view! It did rain a few times but we still swam anyway
The resort was amazing everything was all shinny and new. My only complaint is that even if you smile at an employee they expected a tip! I guess that's just how it is at places like that, it got a little annoying though!
I know truck driver hats are so out, but in that weather that hat saved my life!
The pools were beautiful I can't believe we were there
Oh yeah, and we got to see cute little faces like this the whole trip!

Chichen Itza

This is our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and he taught us how to say chichen itza about 1000 times. I guess we weren't saying it the way he wanted us to?
Here we are, this was a great experience now that we look back on it but right at this moment we thought that we might die from the heat and humidity!

Can you see the face?
Madgey wadgey, my wonderful mother in law is all ready for our adventure, and John is in the background, I'm not sure how much he enjoyed it?

Peace out! So long Cali.

We're out of here! Josh and I are going to Cancun, Mexico with his family for a much needed vacation! This is the resort we are staying at, its called Lagunamara! It looks pretty dang sharp!
So what's with all the pools? I don't know, but I like it! I am so pumped you have no idea!!
It is suppose to rain the whole time we're there so everyone pray that I can get a tan! Josh has been studying for his CPA test for like a month straight I don't even know if we have said more than one sentence to each other without something coming up in our conversation about studying or me helping him study for this crazy test! One rule in Cancun, no talking about CPA tests (at least around me please). I love you all, see you in a week! p.s. are there spiders in Cancun? Ah, well I'll be around lots of Peterson men who can kill them for me, right?

I hate spiders!

So hopefully you can click on this picture and see for yourself how freakishly large it is! I haven't seen more than two small spiders since we moved here then all of the sudden one day when Josh had just gone to work this huge thing came climbing up my wall! I am not ashamed to say that I was crying on the phone to Josh telling him he needed to come back home and kill this nasty bug, but of course he just started laughing and telling me I could do it myself. I did kill it myself after 15 minutes of trying to execute my strategy. It was messy and I had a break down for a while after this terrible process was over! I know I am suppose to have respect and love for all of Gods creatures but I'm pretty sure spiders are the spawn of satan!
