One Month In

Hi, this is Alyssa! So me and Olivia have spent our first month in wonderful Tucson and are finally settling into the apartment. There have been quite a few changes and situations that have been thrown around through out the month but this week we both decided our final decisions. I finished my last day at San Tan and start at Tucson tomorrow. Olivia has decided to stick with Pima for school and is also at Tucson Spectrum showing them how the Gilbert Girls do it. Well at dinner last night we were both talking about things to give up to better ourselves. We kept talking and decided a whole system that we are going to do each month that is sort of like Lent. We are giving up one health related item and one lifestyle change. As well as taking up something that correlates with the given up item. We also are going to volunteer once a month for different foundations. Lastly we chose to do at least 3 good deeds a week and document them to remember. This month I am giving up soda, and Olivia is giving up tea and we both are drinking more juice and water. After we decided everything we were giving up for the month we went to our favorite store, WalMart! We each bought two different types of juice and poster boards to document our journey. We also decided to start this blog to keep all of our family and friends updated on our journey through everything from our new life styles to a new theatre as well as living 90 minutes away from everyone we grew up with.

Today to finalize ALL of our new decisions we went once again to WalMart and bought hair dye! We thought that a whole new town should also see a whole new Alyssa and Olivia. Olivia chose a brownish/auburn color and I nervously chose black. I am happy to report that both came out AMAZING! We are very happy with our new hair colors and of course our new life in Tucson.
