She's SOOO Happy... Me... not so much!

So, after much persuading on her part, Jenna finally convinced me to let her cut her hair. She was so excited, but I had to leave the salon ecause I cried when she cut 14 more inches off her hair! She is so happy and I do have to say that she looks just darling. She made me a deal that she won't cut her hair again until after she graduates, so we will see if we stick to the deal. I want her hair to be long for her Senior pictures!
Here is the finished product... she's adorable if I do say so myself! I am excited to see her so happy with her braces off and her contacts in and her hair cut. She's such a darling girl !!!I love her alot!

Jared's First Year Mark !

Jared has been out for one whole year. It has been the best and the hardest thing that I have ever done. My friends have been there for me through thick and thin. On January 28th, I sent out an email thanking everyone for being there for me. I also brought a cake to work that said.... Hip Hip Horray! 1 Year today!! Everyone enjoyed the cake, but I loved being able to thank everyone and giving hugs and such. It was a wonderful day, but a hard day. I didn't think that it would be hard, but it was! Jared was on my mind every second of the day, and there were more tears. My sweet friend, who is also a missionary mom, left this on my desk.

It said, "Happy Hump Year! You are one half way there Mom!" She gave me half a snickers bar, one half pkg of M & M's, one half pkg Starburst, one half Granny's pink sugar cookie, and one half coke. It was co cute and it made me laugh! She made my day and it made it better. She helped me to get thru the day. It was a great day and I am so proud of Jared for making it a year and even more. I am glad to see the changes that have happened to Jared. I am very proud of who he is becoming. He is an amazing young man and I am proud to be his mom! We have 11 fast Sundays and counting!!!
