Homestead get away!!!

Above is the JeffersonPools...famous hot spring mineral waters said to heal what ails you. It was too cold so they were closed b/c you are outside.

The picture to the left shows the warm springs steaming in the cold air and a view of the mountain down the road

Kevin and I had the pleasure of visiting the Homestead Mountain Resort for three nights and four days with his company this past weekend. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. I spent some time in the spa and lived the "rich" life for awhile. Four course meals, massages, facials, no care in the world...nice for a few days. Coming back down to earth has been stressful. Getting back to work, etc. I missed Blake something horrible though. Never want to leave him again! Being a mom has made me more rich than any amount of money ever could. Here are some pictures. The formal one is our last night at the closing banquet of the conference. Great fun!

Hair

So now I have justification for driving all the way to Richmond (1 hour) to get my hair cut. Just anybody cannot touch my hair!!! I've discovered over the years that very few beauticians know what to do with curly hair. I finally found someone but unfortunately she's all the way in Richmond. Anyway, I had an appointment with her on Monday (so I thought), got a babysitter, drove to Richmond and found that my appointment somehow was put on Tuesday. So, I reluctantly let someone else cut my hair....I mean I had gone through all that trouble. AGGGHH!! Big mistake, won't happen again. This chick butchered my hair and cut it as if it was bone straight (it isn't) so it frizzed up and seriously made me resemble Shaggy the dog. So, I ended up back there on Wednesday begging my hairstylist to do something. Now it is shorter than I like, and still has some issues but is 80% better according to my hubby. In spite of all this, we had a great New Year's Rocking out the Guitar Hero with Gene and Tia.
