Breaking the silence
What could be more worthy of breaking my blogging silence except to report on mullets... That's right. One mullet.
So on Wednesday Phil came home from getting his hair cut, says hi to me quickly and heads off to examine his newly cut hair in the mirror. He had the sneaking suspicion that his hair was (gasp!) longer in the back then it was on top. He looked in the mirror and discovered it... he had a mullet! And boy was he mad. So upset that he begged me to cut his hair and fix it. In a moment of shear love and idiocy, I did. You can imagine what came next. Phil no longer has a mullet but he now has a really uneven haircut. So he is really upset because he had a grad school class in 20 minutes and it was the second time this had ever met. I tried to reassure him that no one notices what people's hair looks like in the back. He said that he did and was just sure that everyone would remember. So we went to cost cutters and got it fixed. $5 later he was late to class and much happier.
Well, that crisis got averted- narrowly. Funny thing is the very next day, I had a hair appointment and mine was an equally horrific experience. I went to this new place because I bought a coupon on campus for it! The coupon entitled me to 5 visits to this salon for 60 dollars. One visit being a haircut,the others being highlights, pedicure, manicure and facial. It seemed like a good deal. The guy I went to was the manager of the salon, so I thought that was ensuring my good haircut. Well, I was wrong. I spent a half hour looking for pictures on the internet and found some I really liked. I get to the salon early and eager to get my haircut. I check in and someone who is not the guy who is suppossed to cut my hair, washes it, and puts me under a hair dryer for the next 40 minutes. Then the guy who is supposed to cut my hair, comes over barely looks at my pictures and proceeded to cut me something straight out of the 80s. I came home and cried for a long time. Now I have bangs that I don't know what to do with. And this uncontrollable urge to go buy some leggings...
There you have it folks. I thought that was blog worthy!

Stress
At the risk of complaining I must say that I am very close to my breaking point with stress right now.
I was just thinking about how easily little things set me off and how I consider washing my face and brushing my teeth an annoyance that takes too much time before I go to bed at night. Wow. I will be glad when the wedding is over for that reason. For many other reasons it will be sad. What will I think about when my mind has nothing else to occupy it? Right now, I find myself constantly planning and dreaming about this event. Well, I guess we will find out!
For my readers who are coming, I am so excited to see everyone! In some ways, I am sad that I will be so distracted that weekend by getting married! ;)

tanning
I went sunless tanning yesterday. It was fun and I look so weird now. I am not used to being this dark. I feel different...
Funny story though, I was a little nervous so I glued my hands to my thighs as the little spray nozzles went off and umm yeah I have white hand prints on my legs and a stripe down my side. It is kinda funny!

Weddings
Hey all!
I want to preface this by saying that planning a wedding is insane. It requires insane attention to detail and well just a lot of planning. I have definitely freaked out my fair share and really in general had a hard time. But there is hope for me yet.
I find myself asking today how God wants to refine me through this all. I shall ponder that soon. Much to my dismay and disappointment in my "character" I have already had my fair share of bridezilla moments.
Too many details. GRRRRRRRRRR!
The most random thing I have done today: counted how many m and ms are in a 14 oz bag. the answer you ask. 439!

I don't have a boyfriend anymore!
Yep, I think that most of you know this already but I have a fiance! YAY!
Here we are in all our glory.
Oh yeah, we also have a date: May 19 and a place and maybe some bridesmaid dresses. Wedding planning is fun but a lot of work!
