My Hair Is Gone....

It is gone... remember how in my last post I was thinking about growing it out... yeah that didn't happen. 

Instead, I got an adrenaline rush and cut it all. off.

For reals.

I cried after the adrenaline was gone... I had an anxiety attack...

But now.. it is growing on me.

I will post pictures soon, but i am not a huge fan of the self portraits...

not my thing.

So I will wait for some real nice in the moment pictures to come, then I will post those.

Just a quick thought... or thoughts.

So...I have almost been home from Africa for a month now... and I miss it so so so so so much.  I actually missed my card board pillow and cement mattress last night.  I long too be their again in the convent with the nuns and the scary dogs barking out my window and bats flying right outside my door. 
I miss those little kids so so much and I have missed the service I was able too do their.  I guess that is why I am applying to Guatemala next year!!  Cross your fingers I get in!!!
I might grow out my hair.. it has gotten thicker since high school. So I figure why not.. and their is extensions to make it thicker.
Last night was hilarious.... my tailbone hurts so bad!!!  And now I have a black, literally black bruise on my butt.  I officially love escalators now... last night is definitely in my top ten moments right now.  Thank you Brooke and Bridget for sharing it with me.
Dating is silly....
This week I hit a year mark for being officially divorced... this is a huge milestone and I am so glad I have reached it.
I love the movie Something Borrowed... seriously makes my heart happy.
I am SO excited to start working out again.
I feel re-motivated in my work.
One of my best friends get's married this week to her high school sweetheart... well done JEN!!!!
I heard exactly what I needed to hear in church today... it remotivated me and strengthened my faith.
I am so grateful for a father who has the priesthood, that is such a blessing.
Life is good, it is hard work at times and confusing but it is good.
Welp, that is all!!!  Peace.

My Experience in Africa

Hey peeps... so here is the blog I did for the organization, Youthlinc, that I went through to go to Africa.  I did a post on our experience please just click {here} to view it enjoy!!  More pics to come.

I miss them, alot.

I miss my babies.. Alot.

I'm Home

I am home.
I made it back from one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.
It was mentally, emotionally, and physcially exhausting.
But I loved every minute of it, completely, and whole heartedly.
I learned so much on this service trip.
I learned about me.
I learned I have asthma.
I developed an ulcer while I was their.
I witnessed some of the most amazing spiritually uplifting experiences ever.
My testimony has grown so much.
I miss the people of Kiamori, so much.
I loved the experiences with everything I am.
All the hard work was worth it.
So now I am home, and grateful for every little thing I have, I am blessed.  We are all blessed. And we should be happy with what we have because the people of Kiamori are happy with what they have... and they have a whole heck of alot less.

{Pictures and More to Come}

It's Time For Africa

It's here... this week I leave for Africa.  I am so excited and even more excited I get too experience this with my sister.  I will miss talking to my family and friends.  But I am SO ready to go and loose myself in the service of others!!!

{Sooo... cute right, and I get to spend two and a half weeks with them.  It is going to be magical.}

Taking it To Heart

A heart is not a play thing,
A heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.

Boys they like to play with things
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing
They do it just for fun.

Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait until we give our hearts
And then they play it cool.

You will wonder where he is at night
You will wonder if hes true,
One moment you will be happy.
One moment you will be blue.

If you get a chance to see him
Your heart begins to dance
Your life revolves around him,
Theres nothing like romance.

And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night
You see, my friend, you're losing him
It never turns out right.

Boys are great, though immature
The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous
But remember, hes a guy.

Don't fall in love with just a boy
That takes alot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.

So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can
Before you give your heart away
Make sure that hes a man.
