The Reveal

You know, I haven't even talked about how fantastic our weather has been lately. Just two Mondays ago it had snowed--again--and it was freezing cold out. Now, the crappy sub-par temperatures have melted away into glorious spring days. We've spent every extra moment outside enjoying it and on Tuesday CB and I bought a decent sized grill to replace the little Hibatchi charcoal grill we'd been using for years. He's so very happy that I'm pretty sure he teared up a little.

These season changes remind me of just how much I love living in this state. Every crappy winter day makes me appreciate these awesome spring days even more. I love the way the seasons melt together before fully becoming their own. And I love the anticipation of the next season coming. Even though I hate winter with a fiery passion, I can't help but fall in love with that very first snowfall, or the way that it sparkles on the ground at night. And I hate humidity almost more than I hate winter, but those lazy summer days spent at the lake or having water balloon fights in the lawn are irreplaceable. So, I take the good with the bad, and try to remember why I love each and every season.

Now, the pictures. Here's the before (me trying to look pathetic. I'm all "Hello, not so Glamorous right now. Am much more Redneck. Plz fix.):
And then, 45 minutes and a whole lotta styling products later, the after:
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of the back of your own head?!

Like I said before, I LOVE it. Only I don't know how to do it myself! I'll have to play more this weekend. So what do you think? Cute, right? :)
