Dogs for sale

Is anyone interested in a couple of dogs? They're very cute (except for when they poo on the floor), enjoy hanging out with each other (except for when Milton chases Chloe around the apartment with socks in her face) and are very well behaved (except for when they tear up your bathroom while you're gone and chew up every single one of your makeup brushes).

I swear they're great dogs and will love you forever!

I promise I love my dogs. They just drove me insane when we came home yesterday and found everything on the bathroom counter on the floor instead all chewed up

The final stretch

Let me just start out by saying that I'm getting my Christmas cards ready so if you'd like one, email me your address at sarahegeddes@gmail.com

Now you can stop reading if you want :)

We've reached the final stretch! One more week! But this last week has about 7 tests for me :( Jonathan's semester is wrapping up at about the same pace that the rest of the semester went. My teachers decided to lay it on thick. I had two group projects due last Friday with a paper as well. Now I have 7 tests. Oh well, it'll all be over soon.

Thanksgiving was great. We went down to Utah to see my mom, brother and sister-in-law. Of course we got to see the rest of the step family too which was fun. We exchanged Christmas presents with Daniel and Sarah which was awesome. We wish we could see them a lot more.

I'm so excited to have most of our Christmas shopping done! If we don't have it yet, we at least know what we're getting. Then comes wrapping! I just love everything about giving Christmas presents. Thinking of what they'd like, going out to find it, and coming home and wrapping it up. J and I need to go get a Christmas tree so I can start wrapping his presents and sticking them under them.

I just love Christmas!

Christmas is coming!

It has been a busy couple of weeks. There's a lot that's been going on, so I'm probably going to have to separate this in sections.

School right now:
I've been busy with some papers and things, but nothing compared to Jonathan. He's had this ridiculous group (and by group I mean the entire class) project that's taking up all of his time. On Saturday he was at school from 8-6 working on said project and is actually up on campus working on it right now. Its so frustrating! Probably more for him than for me, but I just want my husband back!

School in the future:
Our plans have changed and it looks like Jonathan and I will both be graduating this coming July. I'll have to do an internship in the fall, but we'll both be free and clear by that point! Jonathan is working on grad school applications right now because he immediately wants to start working on a PhD. The great thing is, PhD students get to go to school for free and get a living stipend on top of that! We're super excited and are crossing our fingers for the University of Utah in Salt Lake. He's going to apply a bunch of places, but UofU just feels right to us.

Family stuff:
About 3 weeks ago, Jonathan's sweet grandma (Grammy) had a stoke. She's been in Washington and Arizona like she always is in the summers and was in Arizona when she had the stroke. She was in and out of the hospital and passed late Friday night. Its such a bittersweet thing. Everyone is going to miss her a ton, but we know that she wanted to go and see her husband again. This is what she wanted and that makes it easier to let her go. There's going to be a graveside service on Saturday in Orem and then a memorial service for her up here on Tuesday. Its hard, but we'll get through it. This year has been so hard on us with death. First Jonathan's grandma, then my grandpa, and now his other grandmother. There have been others as well. The number of people that I've actually known that have passed this year is alarming to me. It just makes me wonder what Heavenly Father is planning up there :)

In other news, Melissa's baby is ready to come any day now! She's not due until November 8th, but I'm thinking she's going to go earlier than that. We're all excited to meet the little guy and see who he looks like.

Also, Jonathan's birthday is Sunday the 2nd. He's not very excited, so I'm being excited for him! Yay for being 24! haha

Church:
I am officially the Relief Socitey assistant secretary. I didn't even know something like that existed. I'm happy that I have something to contribute to the ward though. We're just waiting for J to get a calling. They just merged our ward with another one so everything is getting shifted around.

The Holidays: I said this post would be long haha
We are spending Thanksgiving down in Utah with my mom, Tom and his kids and Daniel, Sarah and Luke! I couldn't be more excited. J has to take his GRE a couple days before Thanksgiving so we'll be doing that right as we get there, but then it will just be great fun getting to see family again!

Christmas will be spent at J's parent's house and I'm looking forward to it a lot. Christmas at his house is way fun, but then also laid back just the right amount (this can be a hard task considering how many people there are!) I want to start my Christmas shopping now, but I know that if I do I'll be disappointed that I won't have anything to do for another 2 months.

So that's life. I really should update this more so that I don't have to type things out forever next time!

I had a hair appointment today...

This is what I looked like yesterday.


Then today I had a hair appointment. What do I look like now?

Straight after the appointment.....



After I curled it.





What do you think? There's still some red in it, but I'd rather it have some red and be dark than be the color it was yesterday.

I need opinions

Tell me....will I regret this? Every two or three years for the past six years I've done a major chop to my hair.

Part of me thinks it is time once again.

A few months ago I was seriously considering this and now I can't get it off my mind.

Here's my reasoning.
1. My hair is pretty damaged from its previous run in with bleach. If I cut it off it'll grow back healthier so next time its long I'll really love it.
2. I love when I have my hair long and actually done
like this picture...but that doesn't happen very often.
3. Short hair would be so much easier. I could take a shower at night like I do now, let it dry overnight and straighten it in the morning. My 45 minute routine like the picture about could be turned into about 10.
4. I'd do my hair more often and feel more put together.

The thing is, I love my hair when its long. But it just never gets done so it always looks pretty gross.

If you need some help deciding, here's some old pictures of when my hair was shorter.






Oh, and just for reference, I'm getting my hair dyed a darker brown (hopefully without red) this same time.

So....what do you think?

Tag, I'm it!

I was just thinking I needed to update again and Kelli tagged me to do this, so yay!
