Umm, self portrait week 13 comes just a few days after my late week 12. And it’s already a doozy. But the main purpose of this week is for me to celebrate my new hair color, which, after tons of work with Jeni, is finally just about perfect!

ALSO. I think next week’s self portrait is going to have to wait until we land and get settled in ROME! Yes! My vacation is nearly here! Poor Soner has been put through the wringer – and I feel like I have too, but I might just be dramatic. Either way, I am way too excited about getting out of town, relaxing, eating, drinking, and seeing all of ancient Rome and Pompeii. We’ve definitely earned it.

Anyhow, I’m going to go consult packing lists and travel gear suggestion articles. Here are a couple outtakes to leave you with.
