Spring is Here!




Spring has officially begun! Finally, the trees are full of blossoms, the snow has completely cleared from the ground (but not the mountains), and people are beginning to emerge from their heavy layers of winter clothing and actually come outside. Since the weather has so kindly decided to change, I decided that my hair also needed a change. I grew it out for the wedding and haven't had the time to cut it since. So, this Saturday, I went to the beauty school down the road with high hopes.

This actually ended up being a terrifying three-hour ordeal that miraculously avoided disaster. For whatever reason, the girl cutting my hair did not know how to thin hair. This meant that when she was done I had extremely thick shoulder-length hair that would form an enormous poof when dry. Luckily, it being a beauty school, the teacher came to the rescue and saved my hair! It feels so much lighter and better for spring now! Here is the short hair, both straight and curly...which do you prefer?

Fresh Pages

I have always loved getting brand new notebooks and journals. It's always so exciting to open and look through all the blank pages and imagine what I can fill them with. Granted, with my notebooks, that ends up being a strange mixture of actual class notes, notes to the people sitting near me, and to-do lists, but at the beginning, they could have anything. Blogs are a little bit different, because you have this infinite empty space with infinite possibilities.

For the past several months, I've loved reading my friend's blogs and seeing pictures of their lives in other states and cities. I keep saying to myself "I should start a blog!" and with one thing and the other...it just never happened. But now, the nightmare semester has ended and I actually have time for things like this, so here we go!
