Play Ball!








After a busy day at the salon, we decided to do something different for a chance. So, we bought last minute tickets to Saturday's Diamondback game against the Washington Nationals. We won 4-0!!! It was a great game. All 4 runs were home runs. It was fun to get out and do something different than just dinner and a movie. The tickets were a little expensive but it was worth it. It was so funny- on the big screen they have it showed a couple and on the screen it said, "will you marry me?". It was so funny cause the lady was so excited to see herself on the screen that she didn't notice the caption on the bottom. It took her like 2 whole minutes to figure out that he was asking her to marry him. It was pretty funny. The whole crowd was laughing.



The next day we drove out to Scottsdale to pick up Sara's ring at the Shane Co. It's so far out there but it was worth the drive. They saudered ( i know that's not how to spell it) together with my band. it was so sparkly clean when they were done. It was like a completely different ring! I was glad to have it back. It took 4 days to fix the broken prong and melt the bands together. I missed having a ring on my finger! The picture just can't do justice to how shiny and pretty it was afterwards.

Storefront?

I know I haven't written in a very very long time. I get busy, and then of course there is the fact that our lives aren't interesting enough to blog about. But a little recap. Brick has been looking for a space to lease for a storefront. It's kind of a scary jump because of the overhead, so we are looking for just a small space that can have a lobby, an office, and room for all of our equipment. Hopefully the space we have been looking at is as good as it sounds.

The salon has been pretty busy. We are having a special on haircuts this week so tell all your friends that all haircuts are only $10/each. That's a screaming deal so tell everyone. We are located on the NE corner of Lindsay and Warner in Gilbert.

So that's my little plug for my businesses this week. I hope one day I will have something more interesting to say.

Full Time at the Salon



Since our last post, Sara is no longer working at the Phoenix Zoo. It was only a seasonal job and Sara's contract was up at the end of April. The zoo offered to extend her job till the end of
May but Sara opted to not take it considering the rise in the Arizona temperature. Her boss sent her pictures of the wonderfully cute black-footed ferret kits that were born a few weeks ago. We are ferret fanatics around this house. They are too much fun! So now Sara is once again working full time at our salon in Gilbert. It's weird working so little again. Brick has been very busy with work and seems to never have a moment to breathe. I guess it is better than no working at all! Saturday we went to San Tan Village to spend some gift cards we had and saw a concert there. They were really good! They were called Furious George (furiousgeorgeband.com). It was fun to listen to some good music...especially when it's free! We also saw the movie 21 this week. It was a good one. Sara only agreed to see it because it has Jim Sturgess in it. Sara loved him in "Across the Universe". All in all, it was a great movie. With Brick being so busy with his web design (someday I will have him make a cool blog page for me), he doesn't have much time to use our laser engraver so Sara has decided to take it upon herself to see if she can get some business out of it. Good luck!

Too busy....


We have been way busy lately, too busy to write another blog obviously. A lot has gone on in the month of April. The most eventful of all was our trip to Sedona. Brick surprised me with a 4 day trip to Sedona for our our 2 year anniversary. We can't believe it has already been 2 whole years. Crazy! Our trip was fun-filled with lots of stuff to do. We went to Montezuma's Castle as well as Montezuma's Well and the V-Bar Ranch Petroglyphs on the way in. We also took a day trip to Slide Rock as well as Jerome and Prescott. We took lots of fun pictures, thanks to our new tripod we got for the camera. It was much better this trip to have pictures that we were both in. We stayed at the Radisson in Sedona. It was really nice. We had a jacuzzi and a fireplace right in the room with us. We spent the days off roading into the mountains with a rented tomcar as well as frequenting the tourist shops and eating breakfast every morning at the Coffee Pot Restaurant- Home of 101 Omelets. We went to Rene restaurant for our anniversary dinner. It is a french inspired restaurant where we both tried escargot for the first time. I was feeling a little adventurous. It wasn't bad but I don't think I will be ordering it again, anytime soon.

Dad's Birthday



It was Dad's (Allred) birthday today. Wow he is on the other side of that hill. LOL! Brick and I bought him an I-pod shuffle. He said he will use it on his way to work everyday-- he rides a Harley. While at Mom and Dad's, Nikki was trying to teach me all about this darn blogging thing and what it's all about. I'll try to carry my camera around more often so I can make it a little more interesting.


One of our stylists is having her baby a little sooner than we had planned so it is going to be a crazy week at the salon. Busy, busy, busy! We just heard good news from out landlord that they are putting a Fresh & Easy in the vacant anchor shop next to the salon. We are so excited for this because having the spot vacant since Henry's left over a year ago has really hurt our walk in traffic. But we do alright!



Other than that, we watched General Conference today. Sara unfortunately missed yesterday's sessions because she had to cover for someone at the salon. It seems weird having President Hinckley not presiding anymore. He will be greatly missed.
