One Year Ago

One year ago.... well one year ago I decided to take a jump off of the Grand Canyon of my life and I am so glad that i chose and followed that path.  Because my life now would not be the same if I didn't jump.

One year ago I went on my first date with Travis :-)  Leading up to that I had to make some choices, and I had to let go of some things that were holding me back.  But I jumped and my parachute opened. One year ago I thought that I was just lucky enough to go an a date with a great guy from school. Well, granted I didn't believe that it was a date and it took my younger sister to convince me that it was a date.

I became open to the possibility that God was going to work through me life, and He was going to lead me down the path that I should take.  Every day I feel so blessed that I am traveling this path in my life!  This past year wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for the friendship and love Travis has shown me.

I thank God for every moment, and while the past is a great story.  I will always look forward to tomorrow!

Hate getting my hair Cut

So I never really liked making time to go and get my hair cut.  It is one of the lazy things about me.  I just hate making an appointment, and then having to go, and then pay, and I guess tip as well.  Too complicated for me. But since graduation, I have been wanting to get a 'grown up' hair cut. aka one that actually requires doing more then straightening my hair every day, because I feel as if I look like I'm a high schooler still.  So I would like your opinion.  Do you like any of the following pictures?  Please don't let the person influence the opinion of the hair.  it was just what I could find.

I like the look of this one, and I guess what she has pulled back could be some shorter hair like bangs, so that could add more style options.  Granted I'm not blond and I don't have that much color texture in my hair

I don't think that my hair is this long, but I think that is is simple, but I don't know if it screams that  I am trying to be a business professional...

this girls face is kinda creepy.... but the hair is simple.  so it could work.  but it is just the straight that I normally do anyway, just added bangs...

So these are the three pictures that I found when I was just randomly looking.  I just want to look more professional I guess and the way my hair is right now, it doesn't really say that.  So I would love everyone's opinion! Thanks!

Loving Life

Psalms 27:14  says: " Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!"

This time in my life has been trying, it isn't like I have to jump through hoops and go through really rough times. But, it has been a time where I really need to tell myself that I need to be strong and wait for the Lord to work in my life.  I don't know how many times that I have had to have someone tell me that.  But it has been often.  Sometimes it is easy to lose sight in the end when you are near sighted and only see a few inches in front of your face.  That is when you need to trust in God and let others help you.  

It has been through that, which I think, has made me stronger.  I think that now I pray and tell myself more often that I need to trust in God.  But I think that through that I see God working in my life more and more.  Life is going great and I never could have done it myself!

I have a second job interview this week with a great company.  I am getting my ducks in a row when it comes to moving on from College (which is hard, but I think that it is something that needs to be done).  I finally have time to catch up with friends and hang out.  Travis has been great, he's become my best friend and I don't know how I would go through all of this without him :-)  My family is amazing as we prepare for another sisters' wedding.

If I was told to dream up my future four years ago, I don't think that I would have dreamed up something even this great.  Life is a blessing, and I am just glad to be given each day!
