Great Friends and More Hair Bows

I was able to meet up with a teacher I had my junior year of high school. She is probably the world's greatest teacher and I am not exaggerating. She came out to California from South Dakota and definitely changed my life and I know so many others at our school. She literally walked me through the college admission process and the financial aid process. She taught English (which is my absolute worst subject) and was so patient and understanding with me. There were 6 cheerleaders in our class and we had her first period so she definitely had the chatty group of girls. Not to mention Bryan and I dated during this time and he was our class aide. She also got to deal with that and our breakup. She also let us have a lot of fun and would let us miss on Friday's to go to breakfast with the football players and wouldn't mark us absent as long as we came in at lunch and took our vocab test. She is one of those teachers that never gave up on me when I would turn in a really crappy paper that I honestly thought was an A+ paper. She really did care for us. Her brother came out and visited her and we became great friends. I had been out several times to South Dakota to visit and hadn't seen her in about 5 years. She was in Dallas visiting a college friend and I got to meet up with her. She has two adorable little boys but I couldn't get all 3 of the boys to get together and take a picture.
So I am in the process of making more hair bows and am trying some other styles.

Here are a couple that I did tonight. The pictures aren't great so I need to figure that out. The center of these bows have rhinestones in them and they aren't photographing well.



I am going to start selling hair bows and custom burp clothes on Etsy at some point, but am not at that point yet to put pictures online. But if anyone wants them, I will custom make them to match an outfit or just with colors that you want.

Lot's of Pictures

We ended up having to stay in California for a few extra days because of the aweful weather in Texas so we made the best of it. Bryan had to be in San Celemente at meetings so we stayed in the hotel with him and went to Disneyland the full day we had there.

Here are some pictures of some more stuff we did in Bakersfield and some Disney pictures.

While in Bakersfield we went to the CALM. I think it stands for California Animal Living Musuem. We went with my cousin and her kids.



I also got to attend a wedding of friend that I have known since I was 4. The picture isn't very good, because they were walking and I am still trying to figure out how to use my camera, but it was very fun. The whole wedding had a coffee theme, they meet while working at Starbucks.


This was the view from our hotel in San Clemente. Bradley really liked to watch the people golfing.

He also enjoyed the bathtub in the hotel, probably because I didn't mind that he filled the bathtub up to the top.





Here are some pics of Disney.
