New 'do and Bon Voyage

A week ago this past Friday I headed to ET for cousin Derek's going away party - which I'll get to in a little bit.

First, Amy had called me and told me she wanted to do something different with her hair. Now, we've tried this before and it always results in Amy not liking it and me having to re-highlight her back to blonde because her and change don't get along. Sorry Amy, but it was getting old.

So, when she called wanting to do something different, I reluctently agreed and threw out some crazy ideas to which she said yes too. Friday night was the big makeover at her place and it turned out great. We did decide that some more blonde needed to be added on top, so we touched that up Sat before the big party.

How she has looked for the past how many years

That is a picture from her wedding...blonde like always. Below is the new look, with her new name...





What's her new name you ask to go with the new look? She coined this one herself, she now answers to the name of "Ali-Sin."

After the exciting makeover, Saturday afternoon was spent at Aunt Lori's and Uncle Artie's to say "good luck and see you later" to Derek, who was headed off to Fort Benning in GA on Sunday, or rather headed to Milwaukee for paperwork, etc. Derek is off to join the army as a paratrooper. I believe he'll be in GA until May and then he'll be able to come home for a little while before heading off to his next adventure.

As the party was winding down and people were leaving, every family had to have their photo taken with Derek before they left:




Derek - Love you lots, you're in our thoughts and prayers.
