we had a very intimate thanksgiving at wes's parents house. my brother was able to join in later which was super special since my immediate family is spread out all over the country and we can't do holidays together as much anymore<br />

finally, we had some close friends over for dinner. it was a first hosting experience since mila's arrival - i do enjoy having people over. hope to hone up my "hosting" skillz (say that five times). this time it was easy since <a href="http://aglassjarlife.com/">liska</a> did pretty much all of the cooking ;) and naturally she brought her camera(s) with her to snap a couple of shots of our little fam bam. i had to include just a couple here - they turned out so lovely. <span style="text-align: center;">we're hoping it's not too late to use one for xmas cards this year. </span></div>

she decided to show up on 10/29 and it's been a whole new world since then. she's a perfect little soul and we're so excited to have her join our little fam bam. i have to keep it kinda short unfortch (15 minutes till her nap is over and it's time to eat!) but i'll try to make up for it with pictures - mostly from my phone since it's always with me and my finger is on the camera icon like 90% of the time ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when she was born we decided to allow all who wanted to visit to come and visit. i know there are "rules" about these things sometimes...i.e. no visitors other than close close fam and maybe a couple of friends - and i totally respect that...but we realized she will have all these people in her life loving on her why not meet them now! it just blows my mind the joy a newborn infant brings to peoples faces. she's so innocent and literally counts on us for everything (other than breathing!), but yeah, i snapped pics of the family and friends who came to say hello to mila. (btw pronounced meela, not milah like miley - some folks get that confused. already)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
this pic is probably a little tmi but this is mila progressing towards her arrival. kind of not the time for pics but somehow we ended up with a couple, lol.</div>

the moment i met her face to face was so surreal. i thought i would be in tears and her face would be somehow familiar to me, but it was a little different. when she came out and they placed her on my chest right away she had this angry little old lady face with one open eye and she was looking right at me. we had to stare at each other for a good minute to let it sink in and to grasp what seriously just happened.</div>

that is all for now! thanks for checking back :) mommy hood definitely took me by storm in the best way possible. definitely not without its challenges - which is a very loaded statement, but at the end of the day, this period is so short i always tell myself despite the tough moments/hours/nights, etc, it won't last and one day i'll miss this time. i think. lol. <br />
<br />
ok, thanks again! sorry this is a bit of a sloppy post, but....you get what you get and you don't get upset (is that how the saying goes?)<br />

<br />
anyway, here are some pics from the flower potluck. all of the flowers made for some beautiful pictures. my friend <a href="http://aglassjarlife.com/">liska</a> assumed the role of documenting everything with my camera which i couldn't be more thankful for.<br />

that's about it - this was three weeks ago and i'm now full term - just awaiting our babe's arrival - not due till october 27th but we don't mind if she shows up any day now even though we're around 80% ready for her arrival. we're still working on the name - sounds pretty sad that we don't have one picked out but whatever it'll be, it'll be so her.<br />

AND 8 and a half months pregnant 0_o<br />
<br />
we finally finished the house and it's been feeling more like home with every project we knocked out of the way. when we moved in about two months ago, it still felt pretty construction site-y. luckily we've had reasons to get moving on these projects - like house guests who stayed over the weekend for a friend's wedding (we had to finish the guest bathroom) and also a big 30th birthday bash that wes put together for me. let's just say we've had fire under our butts to get things done. it was hectic and stressful, and so many of our friends lent helping hands, but so worth it! and all throughout, the camera has been stowed away and sadly we have very little documented that i can put up here. we've been so preoccupied with finishing this house i think the whole process demotivated my creative/journalistic wheel a little bit.<br />
<br />
BUT, we did photograph some of my party. although it was a bday party, because we had folks from every corner of my life, it also served as a bit of a house warming. it's not often we throw such big bashes, but when life calls for them - they are definitely a must and super fun ;-)<br />

also, it's been a busy few weeks with our new place - we're making some changes to it before moving in. at this point it's pretty overwhelming but i know when it's all done it will have so much more value to us knowing we put our own sweat into it. wes is doing most of the sweating of course, but i can do a job or two ;)<br />

anywho - my sweet new client kerina came in for a bang trim and went for the semi-micro bangs. they instantly opened up her gorgeous eyes and brows - plus they work so well with the layers in her hair. <br />

different versions of the bowl (or halo) haircut make for such a fun and bold change. here's some more inspo from one of my fav blogs, <a href="http://www.sheletsherhairdown.com/">she lets her hair down</a> - <a href="http://www.sheletsherhairdown.com/2012/08/another-post-about-bowl-cuts.html">this </a>and <a href="http://www.youaremyfave.com/2012/06/07/bowl-cuts-are-my-fave-guest-post-from-rubi/">this</a>.<br />

Very smart to ask that because most people know that dark dark to blonde blonde is rarely a one visit situation - especially if you've been coloring your hair dark for years.<br />
<br />
so far she's had two appointments and i'll say we're getting there. we went from stripping all the old hair dye (you really never know what you're going to get when you do that) to fully highlighting everything else and ended up with a lovely golden blonde. she has to get it toned regularly to control what's still left of the old stubborn color, but she's definitely blonde! anyway, here's the two week transition thus far ;)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we were talking about how truly different you become when you change color so drastically - having to use a different color on your brows and cheeks and how even some clothes work better than others. reminds me when i went entirely platinum about four years ago. it did a number to my hair but lets be real, when you transition so quickly the rugged texture kind of goes without saying. after deep conditioning treatments to replenish some of that lost moisture (one of my fav's is<a href="http://www.davines.com/en/products/view/dehc-melu-conditioner"> melu by davines</a> - pronounced dah-vin-ess), the hair is still left with a little bit of what i like to call "true grit" (sounds like a title for a movie ;-p). in fact that's part of what i love so much about going really blonde - the awesome texture! </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">on thursday we found out we're having a girl! (i<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>had<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>a feeling :) anyway we set off for
our little anniversary trip right after the appointment so we were really able
to mull over different girl names. we had a good laugh over if we named
her joni and she'd be joni matchell! can you imagine the grief this girl would
get all her life - she'd have to be like "yes like joni mitchell but with
an 'a' instead of the 'i'". rolls eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">on another note we've been married 5 years now which is nuts to
me. it's only been 5! i realize out of the almost 30 years of my life,
only about 8 of them were spent with wes. sometimes i think, who IS he
even?! we become such a daily part of each other that i forget we're two different
people sometimes. is that weird? it's the coolest feeling in the
world. we're like home to each other. i'm sure someone who's been married
way longer would be reading this going "you're telling<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>me</i>". haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">we were given a smoking room - being pregnant i was exceptionally
angry about this, but it was really too late and we were too tired to try to

tracked using <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/">airbnb</a> for the first time and we totally loved it! the pics will
probably be boring - we didn't do too much else other than walk along the beach
and hang out at the cottage, totally unplugged for the most part. what a
difference it makes.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the beach was pretty close to our cottage but you had to get
through like three different dune "mountain" ranges and though the

it was easy to get disoriented so we made land markers....like these
two camel humps. or something else ;P </span></div>

i enjoy our times there because they almost always involve lounging around by the pool in the summertime, or the fireplace when it's cold talking, eating, and laughing. makes me excited for when the babe comes along - he/she will have some great company. and if my parents decide to move back to sac, it will be double the company, ha!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
the evening turned out much better than i expected. worth all the stress leading up to it! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
every new(er) stylist at my salon is required to put together a compilation of looks (wardrobe, hair, make up - the focus is hair) and showcase them via fashion show. it's more a celebration of the stylist than a requirement..but you know, preparing for it feels a lot like a senior project. until it's actually fun. and then the day of - you truly do feel celebrated. i was one of three stylists showing off our looks - anywho's you get the point. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
my theme was 90s grunge inspired - very bare eye and dark lip with much contouring and of course hair that hopefully projected the attitude of that era - you know, cool and grungy. much credit to my sweet <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jess.evertswuthrich">make up girl</a> who interpreted my vision perfectly, my buddies at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aglassjar">a glass jar</a> who supplied most of the wardrobe, my co-workers who assisted me with executing some of the hair masterpieces, and of course my beautiful models who all did me a major major solid (including my husband!). just look at 'em. </div>

i know it's been a little tiny while (sorry!)....i have a little fashion show update in the works, but in the meantime, just wanted to check in and let ya know - i'm still here!!!<br />

most of you who know me and read my blog (when i update) already know - BUT if you don't, i'm four months preggers - nuts! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
just a couple of things that have been happening: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
first trimester - nauseous most of the time...but functional! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
temporarily lost my appetite for sweet potatoes, quinoa, leafy greens, avocado, coffee....so frustrating! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
temporarily lost my inspiration/motivation for blogging or doing anything online, really. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the great thing is i'm into my second trimester and am starting to pick things up again...like coffee (not yet black), avo (at least guac), quinoa (thanks to my buddy olga), and i think leafy greens are slowly on their way back too. sweet potatoes are still far off, but it's ok ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
wes and i are pretty pumped. the thought of having kiddos is terrifying and exhilarating. terrifying because things won't be the same anymore (no more just the two of us). and we have no clue what we're doing. exhilarating because...we're going to have a little being with his/her own character and personality - a little reflection of us. praying we do ok ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>
i couldn't have said it better myself. </div>

changing your hair can do so much for your look. for one - it can <i>give </i>you a look. in an interview for glamour magazine (haha i've had some time at work to read), zooey deschanel said that she went through several different looks before she developed her signature heavy bangs and dark hair. and i must say, it's very "her". i've been loving these looks as of late: </div>

<br />
here's the final stretch of my europe documentation: a two-for-one post (if you're still reading the blurb part). we ended up in prague where we split ways with our dear traveling companions so we could do the last leg just the two of us. on the way there, we stayed the night in bamburg, germany at mike's friends place (his name happened to also be wes!). he and his wife were very hospitable and showed us around the little tiny town. on our way to prague we visited the original disney castle (it's called <a href="http://www.neuschwansteincastle.net/">neuschwanstein castle</a>). some of the all time best views i've seen in my life. here are some pics.<br />

this is their doggie curbis (sp?) - he was a little firecracker. sure knew how to pose.<br />

<br />
and of course, prague. i highly recommend it as a europe must. did not expect it to be so romantic. once you get away from some of the touristy places (which isn't hard) - you'll find sweet little pockets of alleys/streets with ivy covered pubs and restaurants and just civilian living. good wine and alcohol in general there is so cheap too compared to what we're used to paying. anyway, our routine in prague was exploring during the day, then going "home" to change and go somewhere fancy to eat. <br />
<br />
this is the old town square which houses the midevil astronomical clock. the most intricate clock that will tell you the time, weather, your personality based on your name, etc. it's nuts.<br />

this is the charles bridge which connects the two different parts of prague (castle and old town)<br />

<br />
one of the vendors on the bridge. we hung out near him to wait for the crowd to die down enough to take pictures, and ended up subtly observing him while he works. he was so focused it was very endearing.<br />

the way folks begged pictured below was a common sighting. they'd kneel like this for hours on end, some well into the night it was so sad. <br />

<br />
there were these groups of locals that would break out in music and song. it was much fun to watch them sing in szech and have beers i had this weird inexplicable feeling of being left out and nostalgia at the same time. wes had to pry me away from them, lol.<br />

<br />
well, that concludes it folks. that was europe. we then flew home. we both got pretty sick at the tail end of the trip but made the most out of it. i'm sure i left tons out but this is the gist. flying home i wrote down every detail of every day that i could remember (including which outfit i wore on which days) just to hold on to as much of it as i can. probably because i had tons of hours to kill, but anywhos.<br />
<br />
experience of a lifetime. can't wait to do it again ;)<br />

<br />
we're living in the future - isn't that nuts! we were talking about it at work, 2013 sounds so futuristic. <br />
<br />
my resolution is to post every single day. ;)<br />
<br />
anyway, i'm going to get the ball rolling here again. starting off with the completion of our europe trip. it was so much fun for me to go through those pictures in preparation for the blog, kind of like reliving it all. although quite a bit has happened between those posts and now which of course i'll update out of order once we get the pics on the computer, (which will be a little weird, but hey...#yolo (haha)<br />
<br />
we left off on vienna - here are the pics. what i remember about it...pretty vast city....clean...lots of parliament-like buildings, tons of history (the library building is where hitler said one of his disgusting famous speeches - there's no signs there commemorating that of course, but mike new about it from research or something), had more luck there with wifi than in most other places. and that's my little summary.<br />

<br />
quick side note. it's really cold. i'm drinking hot water with lemon and honey right now (out of tea!). i should drink hot water more often. it's as cold here now as it was in salzburg when we were there (segway not intended! lol)<br />
<br />
and then there was cozy little salzburg. cozy, and yet so vast (see pictures below with alps foothills in the background)...and little cobblestone streets and stairs leading through very old buildings/neighborhoods. or castles. and in case you were living under a rock like i was - or just never happened to watch the sound of music, that's where most of the movie was filmed :) i didn't do my homework and watched the movie AFTER we came home from the trip - it made it so much more special.<br />
<br />
we didn't spend too much time there so all of what we saw was touristy. the streets were filled during the day, but they emptied up pretty quick come evening. places close up shop earlier there which was surprising to us. wes and i wanted to go out for a drink or something, but the it was pretty sparse by then. <br />

not sure if i remember what is on this bread - it looks like an eggplant spread which is something my ma used to make. it also made me think of a snack my dad made when we were little - he used to spread butter on toast, and put salt and pepper on it. and that's it. </div>

we also had to see the famous new york cafe. it's quite fancy to say the least (i mean look at the ceilings!). eating at a place like this would cost a fortune in the states or paris even. here it was pretty reasonable. </div>

the pace is slower than in paris - lots of little pubs everywhere in case you want to take a little beer/cider break. somehow such breaks seemed more welcoming here. it's smaller, and more compact, but has the most amazing city square! i could spend a good chunk of time sitting outside studying the deets on those buildings (and staring at the people!). anyway,<br />
<br />
according to wikipedia, food-wise it's known for it's waffles, beer, french fries, and chocolate. i tried three of these. <br />
<br />
their waffles are seriously the tastiest i've ever had in my life. i'm sure they're filled with tons of butter/sugar, but they're perfectly crispy outside and soft inside and i now want to make some here. if possible a healthier version of them, but mimic the taste EXACTLY.<br />
<br />
also had <a href="http://www.lindemans.be/start/pecheresse/en/?PHPSESSID=15d3fbd77594c02b88fecbc5bd76c2f9">lindmans pecheresse</a> (peach cider) - a new fav! i'm on the lookout to get some for myself at home<br />
<br />
had just a small taste of the chocolate in one of the shops, but didn't take it too much farther. somehow there were chocolate shops everywhere, it was kind of turning me off from caring about it much. sounds crazy - but i think the waffles were a good enough distraction. <br />
<br />

alla and i just about passed out when we found a healthy restaurant option after passing up nothing but pub food, waffle and sausage options. it was such a relief to see fresh salads and fruits, hot soup, beet sandwich?<br />

paris!</div>
<div>
was my absolute favorite. everything from the language, to the locals' innate classiness, to the all natural way the women wear their hair. it was a huge city so full of history and culture and truly full of romance. and you get into it. we stayed with mike's cousin and her husband - they took us in with such unreserved hospitality it blew my mind though i know to them it was nothing. their place was a little farther out of paris than i thought, but i loved the feel of a true parisian suburb. and the metro rides gave me more opportunity to observe the people - because at the end of the day that's what i was most interested in (and food!)</div>

estee and cipri's (pronounced chipree) lovely home. they have a fig tree growing right outside, it was such a delight - everytime we left for the train station i'd pick off like five of them. times the five days we were there, that makes 25 less ripe figs on that tree. dang.<br />

a preserved original piece of the louvre. it used to be a giant castle. that's pretty fascinating. i always think of game of thrones when i see castles - noblemen, ladies, barbarians, etc. lots of bad things too.<br />

<br />
for one, the weather was gorgeous - and it happened to fall on my customary day off!<br />
wes made dinner plans so while i was waiting all day at home, i did a whole lot of stuff i wouldn't normally do because i'd feel guilty spending so much time doing it! my dilemma was, it IS my birthday and i want to make it different somehow, so...i finished off season 2 of downton abbey - read a ton, almost entirely finished my bonhoeffer book (trying to finish it before we go to europe - don't want to lug it around!), did my nails and made myself a "fancy" lunch (sauteed veggies, rice, beans and tortilla chips) - and it dawned on me how time flies!!<br />

been reading up on some of the places in france...excited to see the <a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr/Pompidou/Accueil.nsf/Document/HomePage?OpenDocument&L=2">centre pompidou</a> - it's like a modern/contemporary art museum/center, but the building is built inside out! (almost more excited for that than for the louvre!). around there is also <a href="http://www.musee-picasso.fr/">picasso's museum</a> :) and hopefully hit up a consignment shop or two....</div>

<div>
i did a little recon and read a bunch of my old posts. it's so great to see the progression of my life via this blog. even the stupid little things like hair stages and furniture changes, etc - so much fun to see the evolution of my little life and all that it entails. obviously not everything is on here, but still. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so this last weekend we went camping to big sur for a change. usually we do dillon beach around labor day (and my birthday which is tomorrow btw ;) the sur definitely did not disappoint. of course it helps to have a fun crowd :) </div>

<br />
ps, here's some shots from the last couple of days. as you know by now i'm constantly changing stuff around the house. our most recent addition was a lovely mid-cent coffee table we found at the alameda fair.<br />

my ink blot card collage. we took down the hutch to the desk to open up some space, i love the results. i wanted something to separate the desk area from the rest of the room somehow. the magazine rack on the side there is still a bit sloppy so i'll have to figure something out for that :) <br />

wes and i took a little trip to pacific grove for memorial weekend. we liked it so much <a href="http://www.yelizabeta.blogspot.com/2010/06/forest-by-sea.html">two years ago</a> when we traveled there for our anni we thought we'd do it again. this time it was more sunny and it more than reminded us why we like it so much. pebble beach was so blue it's nuts. we rode our bikes along it before we set off for home</div>

we went to a mexican restaurant where i ordered sangria and realized i had forgotten my wallet with my id and of course the waiter couldn't let me. so wes ordered one and the whole time we were sneaking around - i drinking "his"sangria and he "my" diet coke. i'm sure the waiter was onto our shenanigans. </div>
