To Shave or Not to Shave...That's the Real Question

Well we survived the holidays, barely. Christmas was different having to spend it halfway around the world from Brandon, but luckily for Skype it was still enjoyable. We were able to open our presents up with eachother over the computer, talk, and atleast kind of spend the holidays together.

We were both excited for New Years, not to stay up late or anything like that, but because it began the year that Brandon will come home. We have heard that he will be coming home sometime in April, and it's starting to sneak up on me.

Brandon had a litle bit of fun with a few of the guys he's serving with. The had bet Brandon that he wouldn't/couldn't grow a mustache, and as you can see, he took on that bet...and I think he won.

Personally, I don't think it's a look that is good for him.

The funny thing is that in the first picture several people have told me that he looks kind of like my Uncle Brent. Scary thought.

As for me, I can't grow a mustache (nor would I want to) so I took on something different to occupy my time. If you haven't noticed by now, I enjoy painting/redecorating rooms. Since Brandon left last April I have repainted our bathroom, our laundry room, our office, our entry way, and most recently our master bedroom. Before Brandon came home for leave in October I had taken out the carpet in our bedroom to reveal the original hardwood floors (which were in really good condition). So with that update, it needed a new coat of paint. So here are some pictures of the before and after of our room.

Until next time,
