Jumping Out Of Planes

For those of who may not now, my sister is a graduate of the United States Military Academy, aka West Point, aka the Army. That pretty much means she's a badass and can kick your ass, respectively. All kidding aside, I'm extremely proud of her and everything that she's been through the past 5 years to get to that point. We had the awesome opportunity to re-visit New York back in May for her graduation, which you can read about that here. Now my little baby Second Lieutenant of a sister is jumping out of airplanes at Airborne school like it's nobody's business. In case you don't recognize what that means, take a look:

To get to the good stuff, go ahead a skip to about 9 minutes in. Ready or not, it's your time to go!

So that's what she's doing. Right now. Any second. Today is the actual day that she is doing what's in the video. Be right back while I go re-evaluate my desk job and learn some meaning to life.

Love you Mal-Dog! Hope you're having fun ;)

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter! And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!): #shorthairdontcare

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY). 2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock. Here's what you need: FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half ...

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last. What is a girl to do?!
