Someone had a birthday!

Our beloved big guy, Mushu, turned four yesterday! I can't believe he's already four! And HUMONGOUS! He used to be so tiny! See?

Here we are with him at Christmas 2007, just a couple of weeks after we got him. I think he was 13 weeks old here.

In honor of his fourth birthday, we gave him four BK Minis. Haha! Happy birthday! [Don't get used to it, bud. This isn't grandma's house. Back to your regularly scheduled pup food today and every day!]

Hello, July! Nice to see you!

It's July! Why do I love July? Let me count the ways.
1.} Summer is in full swing, which means I'm here, even if it's in my head sometimes! I love the beach.

2.} July is the best of summer and summer means watermelon! I love watermelon. I will gladly consume it in cupcake form as well.

3.} Fireworks on the Fourth. So pretty!

4.} Picnics and being outdoors in general. I want to go on more picnics.

5.} July is the best because I get to celebrate the anniversary of the best day ever with this guy:

Our anniversary is in a couple of weeks. AND two weeks from today, I get to hop on a plane (well, two planes exactly) and I finally get to see this face after two long months. I can't wait! 

The hubs is BA.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. He finally went to get his HI driver's license yesterday. Let's just say that he will always be formal, but ready to party.

Chopped!

As in I got 10 inches of my hair chopped off today! Crazy, huh?! I went in to the salon today just looking for a break from what my stylist called "mermaid long" hair. Not that I didn't love my long hair... it's just so cumbersome and thick for muggy, humid Florida. And it had gotten to the point where I couldn't do much to it except put it in a ponytail or bun every day. So I went in today with every intention of just getting a cute, edgy shoulder length cut. I got the cute. I got the edgy. But it's definitely not shoulder length!

My stylist took a look at my hair before the cut and said, "I wonder if you can donate your hair?" I told her to check and she said that the minimum donation of 10 inches was just an inch or so more than where I asked her to cut. Now, I'm not the type of girl to be overly concerned about my haircut... it's just hair. I am one of the fortunate ones whose hair grows like a weed--super fast! So I told her to go for it! And I'm so happy with the result! I'm doing a good deed AND I get to look cute. Bonus! I sent hubs a pic and he rikey, too!

PS: Miles was so excited about my haircut, he just couldn't stand it! And yes, I had to get him that onesie! Probably the one and only time he'll be able to fit in it, but at least I got proof! =D

Beer me!

Print deadlines. Emails out the wazoo. Information overload. Crazy stress. It's been one of those days.

Epic Summer Continues...

[Whirlwind: Source via Pinterest]Week three since hubs left. It's been a whirlwind still... I've been go, go, go nonstop! I think I'll be nonstop until August!

This past weekend, was a celebration of life and love. Kicked off with a going away party for my brother- and sister-in-law. They're off to Pittsburgh for his residency. Lots of food, friends, family and fun. A good proper send-off for half of Team Weagraff!

The weekend was topped off with a late birthday celebration for my littlest brother (far right). And, in a little less than two weeks, the happy couple on the left (my other not-so-little little brother and his fiance), are getting hitched! Told you... EPIC SUMMER! And it's just the beginning...

One week down...

Hubs has been in HI for a week now. It's definitely an adjustment, especially to the six hour time difference! We Skyped for the first time the other night... it was weird to see him in daylight and here I am and it's dark outside. So surreal!

Isn't he adorable? =) Miss this goofy face. But I know that God is with us always. And the amazing things that He is working in our life is so awesome to see. This time is going to go by so fast. It'll be September before I know it!
