The Hair Assessment

In the past, when searching for a new hairstyle or haircut, I would spend countless hours going through magazines and doing Google image searching to find the perfect cut. I would print out or put on my iPhone this perfect hair pic that I found. Sometimes this process would work out great and sometimes not so great.

This time, when trying to figure out what in the world to do with this mop on my head, I decided to go through my own past hairstyle pics. Why in the world didn't I think of this before? It's brilliant. Honestly, what was I thinking with using celebrity hair pics anyway? I will NEVER come out on the other side looking like a celebrity. I have my own color, hair type and face shape. Going this route means that my hair will be the best me I can be.

The search brought me to this collage. I've chosen to get a trim in order to grow my hair out to look like the pic on the bottom left. It's by far my best hair yet.

The Black Belt

My son received his black belt earlier this year. Since then, he was asked to be on the karate schools demonstration team. This team is made up if the best karate students in the school and they perform at different events in the community. Here is a collage of some pics from his performance today at a city event. He truly is an amazing martial artist. So proud of this guy!

A Little Cup of Insanity and God

It has become a yearly tradition where we go the first weekend in September to see the biggest names in Christian rock take stage at either Disney or Universal.  Usually one has better bands than the other.  The first year the church took the entire youth, which means that I didn't go.  The second year, it was just our family.  The third year, it was me chaperoning my daughter and a couple of her friends.  This year it morphed into me chaperoning 5 girls ages 15-17.  It was a whole lot of screaming, everyone talking at once, looking at boys, staying up all night and a dead truck battery at 2 am.  In the midst of this insanity was some really great singers, bands and performances all with an amazing message about living life for God.  I am totally exhausted and drained but it was worth it.  I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Here are some great pics from our weekend.
