a little trip to Seattle

This weekend we escaped to Seattle.  Oh, how I love that city. 

We went to a hair show, shopped at Nordy's, ate at Chipotle,

and met up with some great people.

Here we are in Bellevue, having dinner at this fancy restaurant named Earl's. 

No, I didn't expect a fancy place either when I heard the name, but it was fabulous. 

John (My cousin), Tasha (My cousin's wife),

Angie (Jess's Mama), Julie (Jess's Aunt), Jessica, and me.

Whenever we go to the Seattle area it is a MUST for us to see these people. 

They live in Renton because John is in med school (he's a pretty big deal), and Tasha substitute teaches and nanny's over there.  My family is very close, we always have been.  I live with my aunt and uncle (John's parents) and I'm so excited because John and Tasha are moving home in June...and that means I get two new roomies!  Ah, yes....I'm so excited. 

how cute are they? 

SO cute.

Here are the girls enjoying some awful white wine samples while we wait for our table.

And of course, Josha (John + Tasha) bought us shots since

they couldn't make it for my birthday party. 

Those things were delicious, and no I am not an alcoholic. 

And now for the main attraction:

The Hair show

Who are these men?  Oh, just a couple Hair God's.  No biggie.

They work for Farouk Systems, and they are even going to be on the Apprentice with Donald Trump on May 1st!  Rocky McCormick and Joe Anthony Pena. 

They used me for their "cowboy cut" model.

Basically that means they both cut my hair at the same time and if

I would've moved a muscle, I would've lost an ear (or something).

This is not regular hair dressing, this is shears coming at your face at million mph, hair flying all over the place and these stylists dancing circles around you while they chop your hair off.

It was the craziest thing ever, I couldn't stop laughing because I was so nervous.

Yeah, that's what I do when I'm nervous...laugh.  Ridiculous.

These two are quite an act.  I was inspired/impressed. 

Seattle was great, once again.  It never fails. 

I can't wait to go back, and to go to more hair shows of course.
