hair update

 by popular demand (ya...one person), here's the latest photos of my crazy hair-do!

 

FAQ's:

Was your hair curly before?
Nope!  I always dreamed of curly hair - so I guess be careful what you wish for :)  Seriously, though, it really is fun, I love it.

Are you going to keep it short or grow it out?
I am for sure growing it out - but my hair grows slower than the average jane, so it's going to be a while. I miss running my fingers through my hair and having wispy bangs.  I miss putting it in a ponytail.  So, I'll grow it out for now, but I now have more confidence to chop it all of if my heart so desired, cause now I know how I look at all the stages!


I am so so grateful to have a full head of hair. I'm probably going to have some awkward stages while growing it out, but it's all in the adventure, I guess!  Even bad hair days are still hair days! :)

the best birthday present ever!  i'm still smiling about it...

thank you, dad!

can't wait to be with this princess for a whole week!

one day

one missed workout this morning
one really sore throat
one cold coming on
one compact powder dropped and broken all over bathroom floor
one humid, gloomy morning
one sink full of dishes
one contact completely fogged up mid day
one really important deadline missed
one kid screaming for 45 minutes+
one deep breath...

but...

one day left of summer school
one year of teaching under my belt (whew!)
one day until vacation with
one awesome family!

wonderful
