2014 Wrap Up {October Photo Diary}

{Hair} I had to get several inches of my hair chopped off! : ( Between the Dominican blowout and the sew in that resulted in me accidentally chopping of pieces of my hair in a few different places, I didn't have a choice but to cut off the damage. I even though I had quite a bit cut off - I still have some heat damage especially in the front. After the initial cut I had early October, I went back and had my bang area chopped a little more. Le sigh...it's just hair...and will grow back. Only problem is my hair grows pretty slow. #fail.

After the cut, I started wearing this very natural looking half wig...frequently.

{Football} Lots of football in the month of October. My honey's team had a great season, and I attended my first NFL game with my colleagues. Our home team, the Carolina Panthers, lost but it was still a fun experience. 

And there was this! Big R brought old, dried up grass into our house just about every day. But there was this one particular time where he had the grass all in our washer! Blehhhhh! Thanks dude!

{Wedding Dress} I bought my wedding dress from David's Bridal. Woohoo! Except I didn't wear it and will not wear it. It's hanging in a closet...new with tags! Need a size 8 dress anyone? Holla at me! 

{Little R Turns 7} My how time flies! Big R and I threw him a last minute birthday party for his class. It was a hit!

Until Next Time,

September 2014 Photo Diary

So in an effort to get caught up on le blog, I decided to do monthly photo diaries for September through December! I don't have much to share for September. I guess I didn't whip out my camera much? Not sure what happened there. Anyway, here is what I have to share: 

My mom and cousin/aunt/God Mother came to visit! 

Quick side note: My family on my mom's side is a bit odd. My grandmother, my mom's mother, passed when my mom was just a teenager. My mom's older sister raised my mom and young sister through their teen years, so my aunt is really like a grandma to me, and her daughters are like my mom's sisters which means they are more like my aunts. I have also deemed my cousin/aunt Kena my God Mother. I've been her baby since the day I was born. Meet Kena!! You will likely see her on the blog again. 

Mommy and me!

With Kena!

Whenever my mom and Kena visit it is almost a guarantee we are going to make a stop by the Goodwill. It is basically a tradition now! On this particular visit, I tried on my FIRST wedding dress! Yes, I tried on a wedding dress at the Goodwill. Judge me if you want! The dress was beautiful, brand new, and only $100.00. It just wasn't the one though so I left it in the store. 

The beginning of a hair situation.

The first picture is my natural hair straightened, which I had straightened at a Dominican salon. Long story short here...if you have thin, fine natural hair do NOT go to a Dominican salon. Everything is not for everybody. The next picture is a snapshot of me with the sew in from hell! I will talk more about it in an upcoming post! Smh. Bad, bad hair decisions. 

The Mr's new whip.

Big R got a new car!! So happy for him. Funny thing is I drive it more than he does, because "his music isn't right," i.e. he needs to get Bluetooth set up in his car so he can listen to Spotify. I'm not a music person like that, so I don't really get it but to each their own.

Until Next Time,
