Waters rose as my doubts reigned
My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
Found myself standing on your grace
It'd been there all the time

I've been listening to Caedmon's Call the last couple days non-stop, and have been really blessed by these words. I'm working on turning my heart more towards the Lord, and I want to fill my mind and heart with His words. I can't believe how much He loves a sick sinner like me!

Jorrie's gone!

Calling my hairdresser Jorrie earlier this afternoon, I stared at my open planner, waiting for her to pick up the phone and schedule a haircut appointment for next week sometime. Instead of hearing Jorrie's familiar bubbly voice, an automated voice picked up announcing that she no longer worked at Blondie's. My mouth dropped. I wasn't prepared for this. I had had conversations with her about her nursing classes, and knew that sooner or later she wouldn't be there much longer, but I thought I had more time!

I've been getting my hair cut and styled by Jorrie for the last six years. Weddings, prom, regular hair cuts every few months. Her prices were reasonable compared to other ridiculously overpriced salons. She knew my hair. She knew its quirks and how to cut it exactly the way I liked it. She would give me her honest opinion of how a cut might look on me, and she took my heart-shaped face into consideration. It takes years to build that foundation! And now I've been cut loose, forced to find a new hairstylist when I just want my Jorrie. I'm really happy she's pursuing nursing and it's something that she loves. It sounds silly, but honestly I'm a little heartbroken.

Anticipation!

In 40 days, I will be here:



In beautiful Peru!!!

I can hardly believe it. Last year I talked about so many different potential study abroad excursions (England, Italy, etc.), but this one is actually happening. My trip is all paid for! I love the group of people going with me and I think it will be a really great experience.

Tricia and I are thinking about another international adventure next summer after graduation...

Photo shoot

I shot some pictures of Brittany yesterday for her drawing project. We really liked the first one the best, but wanted the leaves in her hair like in some other ones I did, so I edited the leaves in and loved the effect! Btw, Brittany agreed to let me do a longer photo shoot of her in the near future. She's the perfect model!

Hair blues

Today I had an urge to cut my bangs.

I do miss the ones that used to go all the way across my forehead like in this picture, I just think it looks so bare now. But I'm not going to give in! I've always had bangs around, and I just need to get rid of them. They're just about grown out! If you're reading this, you need to remind me not to cut them. Unless you think it would look better, then I'll consider it. ;)

I think it would help if I just got it cut, and maybe that would take some of the rough ends away. My hair is also lightening up quite a bit, and I miss the dark. :( There ARE some fun things you can do without adding bangs.



Did you know there are entire websites devoted to "how to get the Blake Lively hairstyle?"
