My Hair Journey


This picture was taken in Maui in November of last year. This was when I decided to grow my hair out with the help and opinions of others. My hair was in an A-line so it was a lot shorter in the back.
This picture was taken about 2 weeks ago. As you can see it has grown quite a bit and I can actually put it in a pony tail. Six years ago I grew my hair out almost this long for my wedding and cut it shortly after. Prior to that my hair was this long in 8th grade. I am really enjoying it and can't wait until it's even longer! I haven't even been tempted to cut it. Hopefully someday, I can be sexy. My theory on that is girls with short hair are generally pretty cute and to have short hair, you have to have an outgoing personality. You don't see many shy girls with short hair. But I can't think of a lot of women that I would categorize as "sexy" with short hair, besides Hallie Berry. But women with long beautiful hair often get categorized as sexy. Some of them don't even have cute faces but that doesn't seem to matter. So hopefully someday, I can be sexy. How's that for a random rant? :)

Prayer

After an exhausting day of shopping at Costco, cleaning my home, cooking for my family, and mowing the lawn...I gave the kids a bath, and rushed through the bedtime routine.

Read two books- check
Brush teeth- check
Say prayers- check

Sometimes prayers with little children can be so hectic and you wonder why you even bother. Tonight as I said a quick Amen, I opened my eyes and my sweet little Preston had his arms folded and then popped them open and said a joyful "Amen". My heart is full of love and gratitude. I guess they actually are listening.
