EVERYONE is having babies...

...and I'm getting gray hair! I mean, given my genetic heritage, my mom went salt & pepper by her senior year of high school, so I shouldn't find this all too surprising. I've randomly seen one or two of these little suckers over the past few years, but I just pull them out with tweezers and move on. I don't really believe that two grow back where you pull out one, but maybe I should start reconsidering, because I feel like within the past 3-4 months these little gray hairs are multiplying like rabbits on my head. Not only are they gray, but they are short and generally stick straight up off my head, courser than my other hair. This is a good thing when I'm combing through my hair with my tweezers ready to put an end to them, bad when I have my hair in a ponytail at work and one of my coworkers says "OMG! You have a gray hair sticking straight off your head!" OH...good times! I wonder how much longer I will be able to avoid the magical powers of hair chemicals...

On another note, life at the Peevy household is resuming "normalcy." Over the past 4 months, Nolan has been studying for his PE exam, working crazy hours, working an hour drive from home (which is not super economical in a truck with gas prices on the steady move upward), AND trying to keep up with the daily chores of "life." He took his exam last Friday, is working normal hours, and is now back at the other plant...and I am so thankful. Mad props to all you women who have husbands that work crazy hours or travel frequently. While you find yourself "adjusting" to being alone, it is much more enjoyable to have your other half around and actually see them while you are both awake!

A few weekends ago I went to Nashville for a bachelorette party for one of my sweet friends from PT school, Beth. It was a super fun weekend, and I really want to go back to Nashville with Nolan. I had so much fun being with the girls again, and it really made me miss having a close circle of girlfriends to be around. I love that even though I haven't seen some of them since my wedding, we were able to pick right back up like we did when we saw each other every day. I love when you find good friends like that! (We definitely missed you, Nikki Biscuit!) :)

I can't believe how fast the 2011 year is going by already! Our calendar is filling up with fun things to do for many months to come, and I love it! I cannot help but stop and think how blessed we are with the life that we live! This weekend will be somewhat "low key," and I'm looking forward to spending time with the hubby doing whatever suits our fancy. I hope everyone else has a fabulous weekend as well!!

  1. I enjoyed seeing you a couple weekends ago in Nashville! You girls are the best and I love we can all hang out as if time stopped (but went oh so fast) after graduation. And let me assure you...I did not see a SINGLE gray hair on your beautiful head! :)
