Hair Appointment

So the next step on getting ready for the wedding was to have a trial hair appointment to decide how I am going to wear my hair for the big day.  So off I go with my mom to the appointment, armed with my veil and tiara and a few ideas of what I think will look good on me.  We arrive at the salon a few minutes early and have a seat to look through the books of hair ideas.



While we are waiting, my mom decides to get a picture of me for my scrapbook that I plan to make after the wedding about my journey.  She stands up to get my picture and a gentleman (who has Down's syndrome) comes over and sits next to me ready to have his picture taken.  He was really friendly :)


Now we are ready to get down to business.  Here is a picture of me showing the stylist some ideas that I was looking at....

I wanted to wear my hair up for the wedding so the stylist clips my hair and decides to start out by curling all my hair to give her a base to work with as she pins up my hair.



Still curling (I have quite a bit of hair)


I am starting to get the Shirley Temple look with all of the curls here :)


Now to work the veil in to the hair so I can see how it will look on the big day!



And here is the final product.  I am looking to see how the veil looks from the back.  Turned out even better than I expected it to.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
