I haven’t had bangs in ten years, if not more. Ive been talking about getting bangs since my friend Kari cut bangs last winter. I even took this picture in with me today when getting my hair cut. (I wanted a mix between Kari’s bangs and Sandra’s grown out look , which is what I think I got.) Of course I had to bring support of Carla and Ashley with me, or else I would of chicken out. I’m bad when it comes to cutting my hair more than an inch. But I did it and I have been messing with them all day.

That was the first of the Ashley, Carla and Alisa adventures today.

After poking around the mall for a little bit (I bought a cute black top from GAP) we drove over to Crimson Cafe for 1/2 price coffee and a board game. We played Worse Case Scenario and it was a lot of fun. We learn lots, you know, in case we need wrestle an alligator or know what to eat if in a jungle. I won by the way. And I just realized, I beat Carla. I take a little bit more glee in that then I should. Ashley left us for a thing at church and Carla left shortly there after for a church thing as well (church, pshaw )

In the late evening, Ashley came over to our apartment were we watch some Friends on DVD while eating cake and popcorn. We were very girly and a fun evening. We did originally have plans for a pool day, but rain cant stop the adventures of Carla, Ashley and Alisa!

I also had two very interesting phone calls today. First one from my little brother who NEVER calls me. He wanted to know about living out side of our parents house expenses. I gave him thoughts on that and asked what was up and if he was moving out. We had a good chat over some issues he iss facing with our parents. While listening to him I remembered the feeling of wanting freedom. I don’t blame him where he’s at (in wanting that freedom), he just needs lots of prayer and guidance right now. If he moves out, it will just be so weird to me, like he’s really growing up or something. (When he drove, that freaked me out. He’s got a 2 year plus girlfriend, which also freaks me out.)

I wanted to hear my parents view on this, because I knew there was one but didn’t call them right away of course.(My brother would of figured if the phone rang right away and it was me. ) My mom actually called me just to call and we had a good conversation about whether I’m going to be staying in Alabama if/when Carla leaves. She didn’t try to talk me into moving back, which is the first. It helped me a lot to know she saw where I was coming from and that she supported me ideas. It felt more than just a mother daughter talked, I cant put my finger on it. I just know when I got off the phone I just felt loved in many ways.

“Rain rain don’t go away
We need you this dry and dusty day
Rain rain don’t go away
Though some may say please go away

Like the April Showers on the slick cement
And the roads once straight have now become so bent
Weaving through the trees of vain security
Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality”
