Oh Where is My Hairbrush

The second weekend I was home from college I decided to take the plunge and donate a foot of my hair to a organization called  Children with Hairloss. If you are considering donating your hair, please consider this company over Locks for Love or Beautiful Lengths because they are in desperate need of hair donations. I have already donated my hair once before and will continue to do so until it becomes impractical. I scheduled a hair appointment with my wonderful hair stylist Fiona. She loves working with my long hair and doesn't charge me a ridiculous price like Fantastic Sams and Great Clips has done. My boyfriend went along with me to be my support as well as take pictures of my big change.

Here's a picture of my hair before the cut:

After the first cut:

 The final result with my hairstylist Fiona:

I'm still waiting to try curling my hair since prior to my haircut, when I would curl it, my hip length hair would shorten to above my waist. Once I do that, I will post pictures of it.

Long Time No Speak

My Dear Readers

Me and those two wonderful girls

I apologize for taking so long to post a new entry. My life has been so busy and complicated that I have neglected you readers. I survived my last semester at Roanoke and the trip home. I said goodbye to two wonderful girls who were my singing buddies in choir and I hope to see them sometime in the future. If I don't see them before we graduate from our different colleges then I will be sure to invite them to my wedding--whenever that day may be, though I can guarantee that it won't be until after I graduate college.

Speaking of weddings...
A good friend of mine is getting married in the fall and my cousin in marrying his lovely girlfriend this July. If you know me, then you know I love weddings and I am so glad my friend has asked me to sing at her wedding. What I'll be singing, I do not know but it is an honor and a privilege to be asked to do so. I wish all the couples getting married this summer all the luck in the world.

On to my next topic...

My brother's Naval bootcamp graduation

This past weekend, my brother came home on a short leave from SEAL training. It was wonderful to see him and actually be able to talk to him face to face. He has gotten so much tanner and looks amazing in his dress whites. My sister and I took him up to our mom's school to surprise her when he first got in and when she saw him she burst into tears. It was the most touching reaction I had ever seen and I wish I had had my camera to record it. Even though I didn't get to spend much time with him, it was still great to have him home. I can't wait until he's home again.

Well, that's all I have for now. I will write again soon. Hope your summer is going well. :)
