nice blog! looks like you guys are having fun over there in portland. you have done more things on this list than i have, for sure. i like the story about your hair cut/jennie garth, that happened to me once, but all i said was "i think i only want a trim and maybe a few layers just for a little texture" and she was like, "i'll show you texture..." so i ended up with a country-inspired haircut with layers from the top of my ears to my shoulders and crazy blonde highlights that she insisted on me getting. i never went back to her because it was pretty high anxiety watching her go nuts on my hair. surprisingly, she knew what she was doing though, it looked good.
