Updates!

Ok, now fully recovered after Ike, here's the latest!!

Tonight I am going to get my hair trial done with Marissa!! I am soo excited!! My mom and I had met with her this past Saturday, I was not having a good morning and I felt like my mom was constantly making funny of me and making me feel ugly and I friggin cried there in the chair (i blame PMS and mr. STress on that too). My mom is wanting me to get a body wave done so that my hair will have more body for the big day and also hold the curl better. I have virgin hair , and have not put any harsh chemicals on it in like 3-4 years. Well anyways, Marissa thinks we may be able to get away with not having to get a body wave, but if not I will get one and suffer through the agony of frizzy unwanted curly hair for the next few months until I can grow it out!!!

Mom and I also went last Saturday to look at extensions. We went to Sallys, and were sticker shocked!!! I didn't realize how expensive they were!!!! Well we didn't get any that day but I bought some pretty little bobby pins for the trial just for her to play with since I haven't found "the right ones" yet!!!

Sunday, FI and his dad and I took a couch that FI's grandma gave us (a sleeper sofa) up to my storage. We had to completely rearrange all my stuff in there (you'd be amazed at what all you can cram into a 10x10 space!!! Luckily it all fit!! YAY!!!

Last night I finally decided that duh, I need to go get my extensions. SO I first went to another beauty supply place that just had massive rows upon rows of extensions. The only affordable kind they had though were ones with out clips. I called Marissa and she was like you need to get the ones with clips. SO then I left there and went BACK to Sallys to see if they had soem that matched my color in the 18" length, and OMG they did!!!! It matches soo much better than the dark ones!!! Sooo I got them (they were $79.99) and I had a $5 off coupon that I had gotten Saturday when I bought the bobby pins so I used that plus my sallys card. I also got some fake eyelashes and a barrel brush blow dryer (which I'm not to pleased with by the way).

I did try the fake eyelashes on last night and they ROCK!!! I got the natural looking ones for the day of and they blend in sooo good!!! They just give my eyelashes I have now more body and volume i think!! I LOVE THEM!! and they were cheap too!! like $3.49 or something.

Last week (Thursday) Carrie and I met up for the best lunch ever!! We dined at Cafe Express and then went to Cacique to look at lingerie. We both tried on several adorable outfits and then decided we both liked the same one, so we have matching lingerie!!! hehe We both look great in it and it will be perfect for our b-pics for our guys!!! =)

This was great after finding out some horrible news. The Lone Star Flight Museum, which is the museum in Galveston which houses many WWII airplanes and also has a Hall OF Fame, full of priceless artifacts and memorabilia, was pretty much destroyed. I was heartbroken. This was the place for our first date,one of our most fav places to go and also where we were going to have our e-pics at. We were both sooo saddened by it. Now we have no clue where we are going to take our pics at. We wanted the museum because it represents us sooo well, and we were going to wear our 1940s outfits and everything. I just wanted us to be different and not take them in a garden like everyone else or around Rice or something, no offense, those places are georgous, but they just aren't really us. OH well, we'll see. So now FI and I are going to volunteer in the restoration project. We are going over there on Saturday and I cannot wait!!!!!

I just wanted to do a quick update, I'll post pics later of my hair trial!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! =)

I had no idea extensions were so much money! Are they reusable? Or are they a one-time use?

Your hair in your picture looks like it has plenty of body/volume to me. What hairstyle are you looking to do that would need thick hair? My hair is so thin, but it has always worked out fine for up-dos in the past. No down-do's for me, I know it will look a stringy mess! :)
