Spring into DC

Silly tourist are EVERYWHERE!!! LOL  I am so so excited about spending spring and summer in this city.  M & I can't wait to walk to our local restaurants, drink wine on our front porch, hiking, kayaking, checking out the quaint local towns and vineyards, camping (maybe for me), and riding the motorcycle.  My mom and dad are coming to visit us next week.  I cannot wait to show them around.  They will make it just in time for the end of the Cherry Blossom Festival.  Here are some of things going on in the city most of which I am going to be attending:

CONGRATS MELANY!!! XOXO

She's going to the chapel and she's going to get MARRIED!!!  I am so excited for one of my best friends I met my freshman year in the dorms.  There are sooooo many great stories between the two of us these last 9 years.  She has had some crazy men in her life.  Throughout each of them I coached her along the way.  Sometimes she listened and some she learned the hard way.  This guy is so good to her and she deserves every inch of this happiness.  Things I love about Melany: Strong willed, speaks what's on her mind, confidence, brave, loyal, bold, and wild spirit.  Congrats Melany and Steve!! I love and miss you bunches!!

Salon Hunting

The time has come that I have been dreading since I moved.  Time to find a new hair stylist!!!! If you know me you know I am very picky about the care of my hair. To let you in on a personal secret I have had strands of grey since middle school and now there are lots of them. That being said I have to get my hair colored/highlighted about every 2-3 months. The negative is it gets expensive and the positive is I get to try lots of fun colors. About 6 months before I left Nashville I had finally found an amazing stylist Bill Vandiver at The Edge Salon. He is the only stylist who has ever taken the time to get to know me before doing his job. I can't say enough good things about him as a stylist and person. Be on the look out for his reality show coming soon!! If you are in Nashville you must give him a try. I began a couple of weeks ago reading reviews on several salons. I have decided to try Charmed Salon in DC. It had 11 great reviews, no negative reviews, and a 30% off coupon for first time clients, so I took that as my sign. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
