New Hair...Possibly?

Natural Blonde
Bad lighting, but its like 3 shades darker

Darker blonde?  Maybe.  I tried a rinse last night, trying to go super dark brown, but this is what came out. I like it, but I'm naturally a ton lighter...Hmmmm...Help?

Dearest...

Dear 1st Trimester,
It has been an incredible 14 weeks, as well as a horrible 14 weeks.  How excited I was to find out that we were going to have a baby!  How cool to have our first and second doctors appointments and learn that our baby is happy and healthy.  How neat to hear this little child's heartbeat!  How fabulous is it to plan for the future and have your family buy you cute baby things?
On the other hand, you have made me feel more rotten that ever.  I have been through countless swim practices, long rehearsals, painful runs, and terrible sicknesses, but you, my Dear, take the cake.  I hate feeling nauseous every day and wanting to puke my guts out on an hourly basis.  The exhaustion is unlike anything I have ever faced before in my entire life, EVEN after SIX HOURS worth of swim practices + school + work.  Seriously!
All-in-all, I guess I have to be grateful for you in the end.  Every good thing has to start somewhere, and having a baby is definitely a good thing!  So thank you, 1st Trimester, for all the good and bad times.  See ya later.  A lot later.

Student Teaching and Auntie Kens!

I am officially at the beginning of the end of my Master's program!  Halle-freakin-lujah!  I am SO excited to be done and I will NEVER go to school again.  The elusive PhD holds no value for me right now, or probably ever for that matter, but it will be nice to be a Master of Secondary Education.  Right now I'm student teaching for 3 mentor teachers at AFJH.  So far its been a whirlwind of chaos, but so much fun.  I wish I was getting paid for it.  Oh, well.
In other news, I'm an AUNT!!!  My sister-in-law, Hilary just had a baby girl!  Kalli Ava Greiner was born last Tuesday and she is a BABE!  I'll get pics posted asap, the picture upload is broken right now.  We went up to Idaho a couple weekends ago, hoping the baby would come while we were there, but the stinker came two days after we left!  I can't wait to meet her in person, she makes me excited for our own little baby to arrive!
Finally, speaking of BABIES, we got to hear our kids heartbeat last Wednesday!  I can't tell you how amazing it was to hear the beautiful sound of the child that Gregor and I have helped in creating!  The heartbeat was so much faster than I thought it would be!  About 160 bpm, no wonder I'm tired all the time! This kid is running a marathon in my uterus!  Ha!
Finally, finally.  My little sister, Kate, had to have an emergency appendectomy a couple weeks ago.  She was super sick and in the hospital for almost a week.  She's home now and recovering, but I know your prayers would be appreciated.  Thanks ya'll!!!
