Hair

So I thought I would share my little traveling experience yesterday. Pretty hilarious.  You might have needed to been there, but I thought I would share any way.  

So I book all my flights usually under Karrie Broderick because all of my reward points are through that name and it is a nightmare to change (5) airlines over.  So I just use my passport when I travel usually. Well my passport picture has A LOT of blonde highlights. Basically during the time of my life when I was the most blonde I have ever been, and right now I am pretty dark. Almost black, but not quite.  

Well yesterday I flew to Vegas for a meeting and a little Teryn TLC and EVERYTIME I had to show my passport, the Security checkers would look at the picture and then look at me and give me this look.  They would then proceed to say, "so are you a blonde or do you have naturally dark hair?" I would reply, "I am naturally dark." They would then reply back saying, "I really like the blonde." and then proceed to give me my passport back.  HILARIOUS! Maybe I shouldn't be dark anymore and go back to being a blondey! It was so funny because every single person did it.

Got to love the honest folk!  The security checkers were going way beyond their call of duty. Not only were they making sure I was who I was, but giving me beauty tips. 

And the Oscar goes too... Brady Broderick

My brother has one the award for best husband...  Cara, you're too sweet. Brade-you kill me.

HEARST CASTLE AND CAMPING

Damon and I decided to go camping up North this last weekend and go to Hearst Castle.  Lets start with day 1. 

Day 1:  We decided to go Friday night after work. We left the house around 7:30 and had a few errands to run before we left.  The campsite we were staying at was about 4 hours away.  Well it was like 11:00 and Damon and I realized we forgot towels so we pulled over and found a Kohl's that was open because they were having a huge sale.  BAD NEWS BEARS!!! We end up shopping there until midnight.  We are shopaholics! Well we finally get to the campsite about 2 am. We are everyone's worst nightmare because we just start setting up our tent... By the way its FREEZING up there.  So here we are setting up this tent that we have never even opened and using our car lights to set it up.  Well as Damon is putting the tent together I decide I need something from the car.  All of a sudden the bushes right next to me start shaking!! OKAY SCARY! Especially because we just heard something howl a little bit ago. So I jump in the car and Damon starts looking around for me and sees me in the car.  So I hurry and open the door and tell him there something out there and he jumps in the tent and zips it up except for his head looking to see what it is.  I am laughing my head off watching him. It was so funny because he had his little head light on looking into the bushes...classic.  Well he hurries and runs into the car with me and we're sitting there waiting to see what it is.  He was telling me that he saw these two eyes staring at him when he was in the tent.  Well all of a sudden this fat cat comes out of the bushes and Damon says, "is that a MOUNTAIN LION?!!!" I just about peed my pants right there because I was laughing so hard. He's so funny!

Okay, we then get everything set-up except we had an air mattress that we needed to blow up because we don't have any sleeping bags, just blankets.  It is now 4 am.  Well we decide to blow it up anyway because we need something to sleep on, but we don't blow it up that much because the pump was so loud...well needless to say we FROZE.  We held onto each other all night to try and stay warm, but nothing worked. We maybe got 2 hours of sleep.  We woke up every 30 min and finally we just started laughing so hard we were crying.  As soon as the sun came up I was out of the tent.  Oh goodness...you have to know that this was Damon's and mine first time ever camping together.  So this was definitely an experience.

DAY 2: I promise this will be shorter

So we went to Hearst Castle. One of the coolest things I've seen. It was freaking huge, and it was gorgeous.  It was made from a european design with like 1800 century furniture and just beautiful detail in every room. The Garden's had all of these imported statues and such amazing landscapes. They have an outdoor pool that looks like you're in Rome, and then an indoor pool where the floor is made of gold.  CRAZY! www.hearstcastle.org.  Check it out. Here are some pics, but doesn't do it any justice.

That night we decided to make a camp fire.  The problem was that it was so windy and it had started raining a little bit. Damon was DETERMINED! He was not going to give up on this fire, and I didn't think he was going to be able to make it work, but his boy scouting came through. We had a nice fire...so we thought. Well we starting taking pictures and this is what we got... If you look closely you will see like 3 demon faces in it.  Its crazy. I wish i could point them out to you, but you just have to look closely.  Its freaking SCARY.

DAY 3:

Damon and I drove home and just stopped off here and there in these cute little towns and walked the beaches. It was pretty windy and cold, but still beautiful. Here are some pics:

Sorry for the long blog. Just too much stuff happened.

HALLOWEEN

I have to say that I had one of my favorite Halloweens ever.  Damon and I decided to stay home. We carved pumpkins, made sugar cookies, and watched The Strangers...which by the way is so FREAKING SCARY! I couldn't go to sleep because I had anxiety. I was so scared.  The next day we went to Disneyland.  It was really fun as well. I have never walked so much in my life. Here are some pictures of our celebrated events!

This is just after Splash Mountain. I begged Damon to go on it with me and then I got put in the front and this is what I got.  It was pretty hilarious.

I've always wanted to do these tea cups.  It was awesome. A little nauseating, but awesome.

Jungle Tour. We got to see all the wonderful fake animals. It was pretty cool though.

Okay, so Damon and I had a contest to see who had better pumpkin carving skills.  Which one do you like best?

DREAM

Okay, so I had the scariest dream last night.  All of a sudden, I have this baby.  I never had a belly, so I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was giving birth. Well, I end up having a baby girl, and I am like begging my mom to come and stay with me so that she can help me.  For some reason she doesn't end up coming at all and just leaves me stranded all alone with this little girl. I am like trying to learn how to feed her, but its awkward and I have no idea what I am doing.  So I stop feeding her and then for awhile I am just taking her with me everywhere holding her in my arms.

Well my brother for some reason is in my dream and he is hanging out with me and helping me take care of the baby, but then he ends up pretty much taking care of her.   Well,  then all of a sudden  I am holding her and she is old enough to talk, but I am still holding her like she's still a little baby and she keeps calling me by my first name, and I say, "No...Mommy."  She then says "Kawie."  I say " MOMMY!!" and she says, "Kawie, I want Brady. I want Brady. "  I was so upset because my child didn't even like me and seemed like she barely knew me because I didn't know how to raise her.  

I woke up so upset...it was the weirdest dream. Sorry if it was all over the place, but that's how the dream seemed too.  I had to share it.  I had to get it off my chest.  Made me realize I am still not ready to have a child.

Husband Tagged by Kaes...

So after reading Kaesy's story of Tuckett, and then realizing she tagged me I feel all this pressure in telling a really great story about Damon, where all the girls will read it (because you know its always the wives who are nosy and want the scoop on everyone) and they will all go aaawwweeee- he is the cutest husband ever!!!

WEEEELLLLLL!!! I don't really have one specific story, but I am happy that Kaes tagged me because lately I have had this overwhelming feeling of how I am the luckiest girl ever to be married to Damon. He is my best friend  Its weird because all of you who know me, know that I get sick of guys really quickly and that I am so up and down, but I love being with him. I never get sick of him. I can't get enough of him. We have so much fun and we do everything together.  He is such a great person and has a huge heart.  He is really patient with me when I have my weak moments of craziness. He just listens and talks me through it.  I am an emotional rollercoaster!!  He is always doing cute little things for me to show how much he loves me.  Anyway, I just want him to know how much I truly love him, and I am so blessed God gave him to me.  I can't wait for us to enter the temple together and be sealed for eternity.  I never want to part from him.
