Hair affair

Well folks...I am growing out my hair. I am so proud, I just got back from a cut and color and I didn't give in to the temptation to cut it shorter! Whoohoo! Not sure how long I want it, but sure I want to grow it out. I am young, only 22. I don't have kids and I have blonde hair, so what better than "living it up" with long beautiful locks. Wish me luck in this endeavor!

EEEEEEEE-ster!!!

Easter...one of my favorite days. As an only child I have colored eggs by myself every year until this year. I didn't color eggs, instead I made Jiggler Eggs (see picture above). It was quite fun and I kept thinking "what a great mom I am going to be" while I was making them. :-)

We went to Tyler's parents house for Easter and ate a feast with his grandparents, sister, cousin, and friends from NNU. It was a big group and one of our table conversations centered around sad dog stories. I brought it up and we just ran with it, kind of twisted. We are all dog lovers so we have everyone feeling pretty sad for a few minutes. That night we went to an Easter production at a local Nazarene church. It was great, very different that I expected. Not your average Jesus from birth til resurrection type of production.

I really look forward to having kids on Easter and teaching them of God's amazing gift of grace and watching them search for eggs. What fun!

Jewelry Storage

For those of you like me, jewelry storage is such a trying endevor. I usually get mine all organized and a week later everything is a tangled mess. Well...mess no more! I bought three ice cube trays and put earring pairs in each spot. It is amazing, and cuts down on my morning routine so fast. The great thing is they stack. I am going to put mine in the top drawer of my dresser, this way no one sees all of the jewelry clutter but I know exactly where my favorite earrings for the day are. Do it, so cheap, so great!
