A New Haircut?
Well, I've been thinking about cutting my hair for sometime now, wanting something more in style and edgy. So I took the leap yesterday and here are my results. I have to admit I don't know how I feel about it. After it was done, I thought "Oh, it's real short but pretty much what I asked for". Then last night I thought "I really don't like it, what have I done!" I did wear it yesterday the way the cutter styled it, which was entirely rolled under. It made me feel old I think. So after playing with it for hours today trying to make something out of it that I can live with, and adding highlights, this is what I came up with. Keep in mind I am cursed with having very thin, and a very little amount of hair. The hair cut I wanted obviously requires more hair than what I have on my head to make it manageable. So what do you think? I want honest opinions on what you think and any recommendations on what I might do to make it look better! To achieve my look I blow dryed my hair upside down and used a flat iron on it.

Happy 30th to Me!
So for my 30th birthday present to myself I took Eddie to Boston, MA to go see Bon Jovi in concert! I have for some reason always wanted to see Bon Jovi in concert and it was the one thing I regretted not doing while I worked for Jetblue in Utah. So since I've started working for Jetblue again I knew that going to see Bon Jovi in concert was definitely at the top of my list of things to do. Thanks to my sister Lindsay, who gave me the heads up that they were performing back east, I was one of the crazy people that sat online waiting for tickets to go on sale one morning to get seats to see Bon Jovi in Boston.
We left late Tuesday night, July 8th, flew through the night and arrived super tired in Boston Wednesday morning. Luckily we were able to check into our hotel, the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, early so we were able to get some sleep in before the concert that night. Temperatures in Boston were around 90 degrees and high humidity, so needless to say we were missing our Washington weather, and only survived in shorts and t-shirts. We packed very light, only what would fit in our backpacks. We rode the subway around most the time, which I highly recommend! We would have gotten so angry if we had rented a car trying to get around.
We had dinner at a small little Italian restaurant named "Antico Forno" which was recommended to us by someone at the airport. We had to go out for Italian while we were in Boston! I've never had Olive Oil that tasted so good.
The concert was so much fun!!!!! Bon Jovi really knows how to put on a show, and you can tell they love doing it. I want to go see them again. The All American Rejects opened for them and they did a good job, but I have to say I wasn't impressed and thought they were actually really weird during their performance. Atleast they sang the songs of theirs that I like! The concert was at the TD Banknorth Garden.
The next day, after sleeping in until almost noon, we walked around the city of Boston. We had fried dough for breakfast from one of the street vendors at Boston Common, and proceeded to walk along the Freedom Trail. We walked through the cemetery where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and victims of the Boston Massacre are buried. We saw Paul Revere's house, and walked around on Old Ironsides in the harbor. Boston was so beautiful! I loved being able to walk through so much history and the city was so accessible using the subway. Eddie and I both agree that we want to go back and visit again.

Indian Reservation Fireworks
We got to experience illegal fireworks at the Muckleshoot Indian reservation this week. It was really loud and there were so many people. We went with my sister Lindsay and her husband Jeff and his parents who were in town visiting. They go every year. I was pretty nervous at first at how unsafe it seemed, but was told I was being silly. It was fun to see some fireworks with the girls!
