Children are the Future

There are a lot of things to consider when discussing the planning for children. There is, of course, when to have them, how many to have and boys or girls (not that I have a lot of control over that). But recently we found that there is one more option- whether to have them now, later or... NEVER! For a long time that never even crossed my mind. I assumed that we would get married and have babies because that is just what people do.

We have become friends with a couple that have made the decision to not have children. I don't think that it is for everyone but if anyone is going to not have kids, I think they are suited for it. Being friends with them and talking about their decision is what brought that option to light for us.

Oh and just so that I don't end up in trouble here- I do NOT mean any of this to be offensive to those with kids or without them. I can most definitely understand both sides of the argument. And Blah Blah Blah!

James is in school right now and we don't have great jobs nor do we have a home so the point is pretty well moot for the time being. What we have decided is that we are not deciding yet. Who knows, we may get to Portland, have an awesome house, lots of money and say "I want a baby!". But right now my biological clock is not ticking at all.

Hair today...Gone tomorrow (or last Saturday)

Those of you that know me have probably become familiar me looking like this.

























Now after a little bit of this...












I look like this.








Yes, that is about 18 inches that were cut off (plus styling).

So, waddaya think?

Man- I Suck at Blogging

I do not do magic although I have disappeared.

I wish I could catch you all up on my oh-so-exciting life but really, I have been doing a lot of the same things. I guess I have done somethings since the last time I posted which does not mean that it was recent.

For Christmas, James and I flew out to Washington to visit with family. We got to see parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles (am I the only one that finds it odd that there is not one word that encompasses the aunt and uncle pair?) and of course the beautiful new niece and the blur of a nephew. There was food, visiting, food, looking at Christmas lights and then more food! It was great and as usual, too short. Eventually they made us come back to Memphis.

And here we are.
