Follow Through

Sometimes I feel like I have zero follow through. That I say I am going to do something and then forget or get side tracked or just change my mind. Well here is one story about when I followed through.
I am currently working at enterprise, and it is going.... well it is going. One of the down sides is I feel a little trap to their standards which makes me feel I have no time to be myself (a little crazy, a little spontaneous, and a little more fun) Well I have been missing that side of myself and so I had decided a while ago (FEBRUARY) that I wanted a part of that back and was going to dye some of my hair purple. Well NO ONE liked that idea. Brent had a point when he reminded me that enterprise would not enjoy the color change and so I didn't but I SWORE I WAS GOING TO THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT...
Now I am two weeks away from leaving Provo for about 8 months. I am leaving Enterprise, and becoming a Camp Director and then moving to Europe. I knew if there was ever going to be a chance where I could get away with some funky hair this was it. So last night I made good on my promise to dye my hair.
WARNING: MY FACE IS REALLY SHINNY THANKS TO THE FLASH ON MY CAMERA BUT I SWEAR I AM NOT OILY OR THAT BLOTCHY IT IS JUST THE FLASH!
Here is a before shot. My hair was curled yesterday.
(The shirt I am wearing was an XXL that I got from a job interview I went to in which they gave me a shirt, a hat, a $25 gift card to Chili's even after I turned them down! Great company!)
What an innocent little chunk of hair!

After: See you can barely even tell!
Oh wait... now you can!
This was what my hair looked like when I went to church today. I received a lot of compliments from people. Everyone said it was really fun or kept there mouths shut.

I am pretty happy with the results. It isn't a drastic change, it isn't a big deal but Doing something a little crazy and outside the lines feels really good. I am not exactly sure what they are going to do at work tomorrow. I am working on figuring our how to braid it and pin it underneath all my other hair so I can at least keep my job for another two weeks until I FINALLY GET TO QUIT. What do you think about it? Go ahead and vote on my poll!

Conference Breakfast

So conference breakfast has been a tradition since before Brent and I were married and this year was even more special because it is our last one... for a while! Since we are moving to Budapest and the Gwynn's are moving back to the south we had to make this one count... and we did!
Sam is our assigned Omelet maker and Brent made homemade hash browns, which turned out to be delicious!
Warren kept himself busy making the bacon and sausage! Don't you love his amazing pose?
Terri Anne and Aarynn stayed busy with packets Sam made for us. We had to do all sorts of activities like color the ties of the speakers, word searchers, and other activities which would keep kids focused on conference! It was a winner for sure!
What about me? Well I stayed busy enough! Chloe needed someone to play with her and translate the talks into baby talk!
Another very successful Conference, although I didn't prepare myself like in times before and so I really feel like I could have got more out of conference this time... Luckily there is always the next conference to make it up!
Waters and Gwynn's we will miss you next October and promise to feast in your honor!
