My New Hair!

In my last post I talked about life and changes

and what better way to make a change then with a new haircut?!

I haven't cut my hair since before college and it was getting ridiculously long.

like, really long.

although I will miss being able to curl my hair like this ^^^

I was ready for a change.

I've always wanted to donate my hair, but it's never been long enough.

Well--it was long enough this time around!

Also, three women that I really look up too have recently been diagnosed with cancer.

A side effect of the chemotherapy is the loss of hair.

I found an organization called Pantene Beautiful Lengths, they gather hair and make wigs for women that have lost their hair due to cancer.

So I decided to donate my hair to them.

I get to chop my hair off, and I get to give it to an awesome organization!

Win, Win, right? :)

So earlier today I went to Stylin' hair salon and Haley McIntosh chopped it allll off.

13 inches off to be exact.

And I absolutely love it!!

I wasn't sure how I'd like it-and right before she started cutting I got extremely nervous.

But, it was too late. by the time I processed that fact half of my hair was gone. :P

Here's the finished product!

I think it makes me look older...

What do you think? :)

It's definitely a big change, and it is taking a while to get used too. But I really like it, and I'm sure I'll like it even more when it doesn't take 10 minutes to blow dry my hair. ;)

"Oh, what a beautiful day..."

Well, the sun is shinin' today in good ol' Rexburg.

And it is FABULOUS!

If you can't tell....we're pretty excited. :)

Happy Groundhogs Day!!

an update of some sorts..

I have been taking what you could call a "blogging fast" for the past couple of weeks.

Ok, false.

That's a lie, I have just been very busy, or lazy... whichever one makes for a better excuse.

busy?

yeah, that's it. I've been busy. :)

Nothing too exciting has happened lately, just the regular ol' college stuff. Homework, quizzes, tests, projects, group presentations, etc...etc...

You know that scene in Tangled when Flynn says, "All the things we've seen and its only 8 0'clock in the morning!" well, I feel like that explains these last few weeks perfectly. "All the things I've done and it's only 3 weeks into the semester!" Anyways...

Oh! I'm pretty sure I haven't mentioned that I am roommates with my cousin Jamie. so...guess what?! Jamie and I are roommates! We've had some crazy times and some have been documented.

(These were taken at like...2 in the morning :P)

These are only 5 of the about 300 pictures we've taken, and all of them are pretty ridiculous. But that's ok, we've had tons of fun. :)

well I have to read 100 some odd pages in 1984 by Friday so..maybe I should get off the computer. Ok, bye. :)

New Earrings.

Oh hi. this is me wearing my newest favorite earrings.

Where did I get them??

From my lovely roommate Alexsa. They were an early Christmas present. :)

They inspired this outfit.

I kind of love them A LOT.

And yes, I loved them SO much that I just had to take pictures of myself in the mirror so I could show them off.

I'm a girl. Sometimes I can't help these things!!
