Being a woman, I am always concerned about my hair and how it looks. I pay quite a chunk of change for a nice do. However, what I have learned from dating Nathan is all you need is a vacuum to cut your hair. You may need someone to spot check the back, but otherwise this crazy vacuum-like cutter works wonders on a head of curly hair. Now, I would never dare cut my hair with this thing, but Nathan has work wonders on his hair with the flowbee ;) Here is some of the videos that we took about a month or so ago.

Special Spring Break Day
It has been forever and a day since I have updated my blog. I have thought about it so many times, but never took the time to just do it. I thought about updating everyone on how teaching has been going, but I'll keep it sweet and sum it up in one word...challenging. But moving on to other news:
As many of you may know, I got engaged to the love of my life last weekend and I unfortunately haven't been able to share the story with everyone, so here it is :)
When Nathan and I started dating, we kept talking about things we wanted to do in Kansas City. A couple months into our relationship we decided to take our thoughts to a coffee house and put it down on paper. We called it "Nathan and Maggie's list of awesomeness" Real creative, right ;) The two of us listed of anything and everything we wanted to do togehter in KC. The list was two pages long and we were pretty proud that we took the time to write it all out.
Over the months we did a few things on the list here and there: Going to a Royals Game, Arthur Bryant's, Loose Park, Dave and Buster's, Chez Elle, and a couple more.
Our list was pretty extensive and with my crazy work schedule we weren't getting much done. Nathan took it upon himself to say the first day of my spring break we were going to knock some of the stuff off of our list. I was totally up for it and just excited for a stress free day with Mr. Vallette.
My first day of spring break, March 12, was absolutely gorgeous! We started the day by going to the Nelson Art Gallery and just exploring inside for a couple hours. Then of course we had to go look at the sculpture park while we were outside the museum.
After the museum, we grabbed a couple smoothies at the Filing Station, which we both were not a fan of. Nasty vegetables and fruit mixed together. Needless to say we are not health freaks ;) Nathan had a Groupon to play cosmic golf at the Great Mall. On the drive down, Nathan kept saying, we are going to have fun today because it is YOUR special spring break day. He said it probably three or four times. I wasn't catching on in the slightest and was honestly getting kind of annoyed he kept calling it my day, but I really didn't think much of it.
We played a round of golf and wandered the mall, which was fun just being us. Putting like Happy Gilmore, taking pictures in a photo booth, and getting hot flashes inside Burlington Coat factory.
We ran a couple random errands after that. It was just nice to spend time together and know that there wasn't any work waiting for me at home. Nathan even decided to randomly pull over and get me roses from a flower shop. I found it hilarious because we both are really not fans of flowers, but I thought it was pretty entertaining that he went into get some. Nathan's excuse for getting that flowers was
"It was your first day of SPRING break and flowers=spring so why not." Definitely very Nathan, but still I was not catching on.
Our last stop was at Nigro's Western Store. Don't ask why that was on our list...it just was. We went, crossed it off and that was that. I was pretty tired after so I suggested we just go back to his place and chill.
I was so ready to just crash and take a nap, but Nathan was pretty adamant that we look over our list and see what we did that day and see if there was anything we wanted to add. He handed me a highlighter and we went through it together. I turned the page and immediately saw something I hadn't seen before: Longterm goals: Get engaged and get married and live happily ever after. I look at Nate and asked him what all that was about. Being the sweet and absolutely adorable guy Nathan is, he said why don't we take care of one of those now. He got down on one knee and he said things and I said things neither of us really remember. Of course I said yes and cried like a baby!
It has taken me awhile to come out of the daze that I've been in. Wait, I'm getting married?!?! Heck yeah...I'm getting married!! I am getting married to the love of my life and my best friend. How lucky am I!!! :)
