Rock that hair...

Ok, just as I promised, I will now unveil my new hair style! But before I do, I have to do a little explaining. When I first came to Springfield for college, I lived in the dorms. Well it only took a couple of weeks before I noticed that Springfield had hard water. It only took a few weeks after that before it started to break off. I had hair past my shoulders. I knew that if I was going to have any hair, I was going to have to get it cut off and pretty much start over. So over Christmas break I went home and got it all cut off. Once Christmas break was over I was trying to get into my dorm room and I heard my floormates ask me, "Is there something I can help you with, LaTisha isn't in her room"? Turned to them and said, "hello, I am LaTisha"! They didn't even recognize me! I loved having really short hair. One mistake I made, I cut it in the dead of winter, your head really feels the difference of having no hair!

So now I've been back in Springfield for over a year now, and I am back to the same conclusion... I have to cut my hair because it was breaking off (badly). So, I started looking at short haircuts, and found a really cute one. I also wised up a little bit, I cut it during the summer, so that my head doesn't have to adjust to the cold, and by winter, I will have learned how to style it.

I love short hair, it takes me literally 2 minutes to do my hair. I wash it while taking a shower, put a little bit of conditioner in it and go. I curls up all on its own! Ok, well I will show you a before and after picture... enjoy!


I know, you're saying it was already short...


Not a very good picture, but it's ear length (bottom of the ear)


So...what do you think?

Love

Is there truly such a thing as falling out of love? I mean seriously. I hear that phrase all the time..."oh, we just fell out of love". What does that mean? I know that people say that they fell in love, but to be honest I don't know what that means either. Is falling in love the realization that you care for a person more than words can describe? If so, then why don't people just say that.

In marriage, does it only take love? Is there more to it than that? Some would say yes, others would say no. For that matter, is love worth fighting for, or your spouse...whom you love? Love can get sticky in rough times; especially if it's not consistant.

Lets take "God is love", for example. Mathmatically you are saying God=love, just like 2+2=4. You aren't saying that if I add 2 and 2 I might get 4, it IS 4, every single time, you can switch the number around, and 4 will ALWAYS be the result. So if you relate that to God, no matter how you move Him, He will always equal love. So then I can't help but ask the question...what is the true definition of love.

Encarta dictionary defines love first as a verb: feeling tender affection for somebody; then as a noun: passionate attraction and desire. In both of these definitons, love sounds like a choice. You pick and choose who you will love. So if you can pick and choose who you will love, then that must mean that you can pick and choose who you won't love. The only kicker is that if we claim that we are Christians, then we are like Christ. Christ is apart of the trinity, and therefore He is love as well.

So the question still remains, can you fall out of love... The reason the question is still a question? Because God gave us free will, and with that came the freedom of choice. So, for all those reading, what do you think. Can you fall out of love, and if so, how?

Over a month!!!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've blogged... I'm letting down all my readers! I'm sure that you know that if it's been over a month... I'm kinda busy! No excuse, I know, but that's just the truth. If it makes it any better, I read blogs all the time; I would even go as far as saying every other day, but I just didn't have the time to write one. Well, here you are. So to recap, I went to KC for Father's Day, went to St. Louis for a family reunion (not mine, Karnell's)and then went back to KC for the Fourth of July. That makes 3 weekends in a row that I had something going on.

I also did something drastic... I cut all my hair off. I mean there is only about 1 inch of hair left. I haven't taken any pictures since then, so you will have to wait on that part, but here are pictures of other wonderful items...enjoy!

While we were at the family reunion in St. Louis, we went downtown. Down by the arch we heard there was some flooding... so this is what we saw!

That sign says 12ft. 2in. (there is about a foot in between)


A street sign that is almost under water!


Flooding at the arch...look at the flag poles!
