"What? Is this a fashion show?" Why Women Really get Ready in the Morning

This morning on the way to church, I was walking behind some really pretty girls. They had dressed nice with good hair and nylons/tights of different colors and designs. Shoes, hair, make-up, skirts. A boy passed and said to his friend, "What? Is this a fashion show?"
All I have to say to that, boy, is," Why yes, yes it is." Ever wonder why exactly women get ready? Look quite so nice? It ain't for you boys! Its TOTALLY for each other! Life is a competition. Every aspect of it. It is nice to dress up for boys but it's so you will think WE look better than THAT other Girl. Basically, girls get ready, put on crap loads of make-up so other girls will look, notice, compliment, and LOSE. Mwahahaha!

Now you know one of the secrets of girlhood. Feel better boy on the sidewalk?

P.S. to Girls, guys don't care as much as you think. All that make-up you put on? He'd rather not see all the stuff on your eyes and lips. Natural is pretty too.

Oh! I see now! Haha, and that makes total sense, actually :) No wonder. Cami came over to visit Saturday night and put on a ton of make-up and I mean A TON. Yeah, she looked pretty but it hid what I like to call her natural :) She had lipstick to cover the earth and eye liner for the milky way but it hid her finer beauty. She even compared herself to Adalie!

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life. I experienced more pain, suffering, doubt, tears, and heartache than I have ever before in such large doses. I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr

I woke up this morning and after getting some breakfast I stepped out into the dim light of predawn and stood barefoot in the grass. I felt the dew on my feet and the soft cool morning air on my face and hands. I listened but the birds were still asleep. Taking a pair of scissors, I cut a bloom from the rose bush outside my back door. Life is messy. And sometimes unkind. It is confusing, painful and discouraging. But an amazing thing happens when we decide to take it just one day at a time. It is a lesson I have to learn over and over. Sort of like Charity or Humility or Optimism. I have decided to have faith over fear. To trust that although I can't know what will happen, that a perfect Being who loves me does. And trusting in that is more important to me than knowing. So while it is difficult, and some would say perhaps a cop out for dealing with life, I choose to trust that God cares enough about me to have my best interests at heart. And if He has decided to not share

To My Dad

To this day, one of my favorite smells is the mix of motor oil and orange scented cleaner. My dad is a mechanic and the cleaner was what he used (uses?) on his hands. Whenever we went camping, my dad always brought his guitar. That is one of the reasons I play too. One of the only memories I have of childhood is after I learned to ride a bike. One day I dragged my dad all over town on our bikes. We stopped for Creamies and squeaky cheese at this little dairy store that is no longer there. I always loved my orchestra concerts. I think more than the playing and being on stage, I loved knowing that if my dad had made it to the concert, I was going to be able to get ice cream with him at the nearby Artic Circle. My dad taught me how to camp, how to love old country music, how to make cookies...my dad makes a mean cookie! Thinking of his smile and laughter Always makes me miss him. And then I cry. He taught me it's okay to cry, even if you're a tough old mechanic. By e
