{before......and.......after}
i'm officially a brunette. 
kind of crazy, right?
i have never been anything but blonde.
but, now i can check something off my bucket list.
i am still getting used to seeing myself in the mirror.
it's kind of shocking every time.
it's weird finding brown hair on my clothes rather than blonde.
touching my hair feels like i'm playing with someone else's' hair. crazy, right?
all and all, i like the change.
change is good.
a drastic change is a good thing too.
i didn't tell lovebird i was doing it... so he was in for a surprise last night
when he picked me up at the airport.
{i tried filming his reaction, but i wasn't close enough to him when he realized.} 
it took him a few minutes to realize it was actually me. 
and when he did, his eyes grew ten time larger
and his head did the biggest double take i've ever seen.
thank goodness, he likes it. actually, loves it.
he's now in love with a brunette.

thanks goodness for change in life.
what's the biggest drastic change you've "experienced"?

p.s. if you live in utah and want a rockin' new do, 
i have just the gal for you!

airport post.

what a weekend.
it started off with performances of rat pack. 
 i then hopped on a plane to fly home, 
"hosted"a party, 
made a drastic change,
{you'll see after i show lovebird tonight.}
said a big goodbye to my best friend in life,
and am now waiting patiently to get back home to my lover.
i can't wait to get home.
but, i'm certainly sad to leave my family and home.
i have lots of pictures and events to catch you up on.
please be patient with me
because i also have lots of homework and studying to catch up on.
{which, unfortunately has to take priority.}
until then, enjoy the little tidbits of my trip from the pictures above.
i promise to be a "good" little blogger and post the details soon.
i hope you are having a happy wednesday!
it's snowing {more like 'dumping'} here. 
i'm so happy i got to experience a little snow storm 
before i head back to sunny california. 
xoxo

weekend on stage.

rat pack!
just a little preview of what my weekend consists of.
opening night {last night} was a big success. 
one down, one to go!
can't wait to perform it all again tonight!

i wish i could stay awhile and write a big post, visit your blogs,
drink a diet coke while spending time in blog land. 
{lovebird might say "wasting" time. but, what does he know.}
this weekend is just too busy for that.
but, i promise i'll be back tomorrow.
{i've got time to kill in the airport}

happy weekend. 
xoxo

drum roll.....

ta-da!!!
so, what do you think of the new do?
a little blog makeover was much needed.
i am hoping you like it as much as i do.
i can't take any credit- my lovely friend helped me do it all.
i owe her big time. 

i hope you all have a lovely weekend.
mine will be spent performing, traveling home and
saying goodbye to a loved one.
but, those are all good things.
happy friday, friends.
xoxo

rat pack!

it's show time, baby! 
if you are in the area, come see the show this weekend!
here is a little preview both here and here. 
{can you tell which one i am?}

it's a fun show. you won't want to miss it.
it's lovebird's favorite one to watch- and that's saying something.
how could you not enjoy a little evening of frank sinatra,
girls in fishnets and jazz hands? 
if you don't have anything planned this weekend,
consider that a false statement as of right now....
you're coming to the show!
see you there.
xo.

p.s. this cute girl is simply adorable.
can't wait to meet her after this crazy weekend of performing is over with. 
{tj- thanks for the little note on your blog today. you made my day.}
