does everyone...?

Does everyone go semi-crazy and get an "oooh-bad-idea"-haircut when they get home from a mission?
..
just me?
Cool.

So I got a haircut. And it looks cute. I admit this. But I miss my long hair SO badly. And my short hair has finally grown to the point that I like it. But I haven't blow-dried my hair in oh... two to three weeks.
(that's the secret, my people. don't blow dry your hair and it should grow like mad. should.)

In other news:
Tonight I finished season 2 of this puppy:

(Yes I jumped on the Downton Abbey bandwagon. So sue me.)

and can I just say: FINALLY!! Finally Matthew and Mary! FI.NA.LLY!

I haven't touched season 3 yet, so all y'all ruiners out there, don't even think about it. I will kill you.

In other other news:

Jonny boy is doing well. I'm so proud of him. He's going to be such an amazing leader, and he already is such a great missionary. He just works so hard, I can tell. 

Slightly related I had my 2nd interview at the MTC yesterday. Trippiest thing in the world to be back there. Anyway, they said they'd let me know about the job in a few weeks. Crossies, guys??? Thanks.

And slightly related to that; sometimes (like yesterday morning times) I miss my mission so much that I can't breathe.

I'm going to do my own spa night :] Gallon vat of coconut oil, here I come.

love y'all. I've missed ya.

boom - roasted!

Seriously, my legs are so badly burned right now.
Maybe because I went to HAWAII! And it was great and wonderful and I loved it.
Check out the view from our swank hotel:

Also, in other news. I am way more than halfway done with this little book called Anna Karenina by some guy called Tolstoy. No big deal. But I LOVE it. Seriously, read it read it read it.

As I have been home now for 11 hours I have now had time to watch both episodes of The Bachelorette that I missed. Let me tell you two things:

1. Roberto better take the cake... or else Ali is certifiably nuts.

2. Holy crap - Jake you are a pyscho, controlling, lunatic. Heaven knows I supported you and hated Vienna, but there is no way you're a normal calm guy. What kind of girls did you date, doormats? Because if you have never raised your voice and you did all that then.... hm.... 

That said, Vienna - you are still a drama queen and attract all the bad attention you get... except from Jake. Seriously, who throws a GPS out the window to "prove a point"?? Psycho. 

Let me just leave you with the best line from the show. Possibly ever.

"Okay, we don't care about the dog...."
