Bucket List Cross Off

I'm not going to lie I deliberated for weeks and weeks, going back and forth as to whether I should take this leap with my hair. I kept seeing these adorable pictures of long bobs and I just fell in love. Then when we watched The Terminal with Catherine Zeta Jones I just knew that was what I wanted to do. Super cute, with some length but still fun and moving.

As I walked into the hair salon for my appointment with my cute hairstylist that I've gone to since I was in Junior High I seriously contemplated running back to my car and zooming away. But I kept looking at pictures I had saved to show Alayshia and I talked myself back into it.

I sat in the chair and in the moment of truth once she started cutting I got this sinking feeling in my gut. But when I looked up after she did the first pass I knew I was going to love it! And as she trimmed it, shaped it, layered and styled it with every step I grew to love it more and more. This is definitely going in my hall-of-fame hairstyles and nobody can say I didn't try out short hair! Who knows, it may even stay for a while.

And my result:

Excuse the Iphone photo

Look at that massive pile of hair! It's just crazy to me how light and alive my hair now feels without that extra 6+ inches weighing it down! It feels so wonderful I can't stop running my hands through it. I'm not sure I'll keep it short like this but we will see. You never know, I may just be hooked!

Nordies Promotion

Sorry for my February Funk...its been a busy couple of weeks and seasonal depression has definitely descended on our house, but I'm ready to get back into normal daily routines including blogging. I wanted to spill the beans on my big news and exciting opportunity as one of my many fresh starts.

After only seven months working for Nordstrom and one promotion within my department, I have been offered another promotion as a Clinique Specialist at the City Creek Nordstrom. I am completely head-over-heels over this new opportunity and challenge! It's definitely going to put me out of my comfort zone, but will be absolutely rewarding as I learn new concepts and tasks. My first day is the 20th of this month, which only gave me a little over a week to say goodbye to my team but it's a good goodbye.

Come see me at City Creek, for really anything if even to just say Hello!

Bonus: one more thing scratched off my Bucket List!

Target Practice

Jared is officially trying to get me ready for my carried concealed class that I probably will take sometime in March. He got the gun that I will carry as my CCW for me as a Christmas present and this was my first outing shooting it.

Jared was clearly a very proud husband.

Trading Up

For quite some time, probably years now actually, my poor well-loved Coach has needed to be put on the shelf and treated as an antique. I've been waiting and biding my time for a great deal on a purse at work and I definitely lucked out! I helped a customer return this purse, and as soon as I finished the return I turned around and put it on hold for myself. Dooney & Burke's for under $100? Unheard of!

Just another reason why I love my job! But my husband hates it. Oh well.

It fits all my absolute necessities without allowing lots of extra stuff that seemed to always accumulate in my Coach, and this also means that I get to cross another item off my Bucket List. 

Nothing makes me happier!
