Parenthood

Parenthood...
Is a job. The one job where you don't get paid in money but in moments and memories, because if there was a salary it would be an obscene amount! Anyways, its been almost a month and I feel that Tim and I are finally making our way off of the struggle bus and are about to board the insomnia train. This first month has been filled with so many struggles and I know that there are more to come. The biggest struggle so far has been the lack of sleep. Baby Ezra enjoys being up at night just like any other baby. But my baby started this practice in the womb. Yesterday, I got the baby carrier out and put on Zumba music and danced him around the kitchen just like
he used to do when I was teaching, he fell asleep. So the baby carrier is a must!

Ezra is one month old! Time please slow down!!!!

Married life so far

So let's talk marriage. It is the best things ever!!!! Tim and I have been married for a little bit over a month, and despite our views on how clean a house should be its been great. As most of you know we bought a house. We closed when we got to Georgia for the wedding. So very blessed, so very VERY blessed. But back to married life. I now get to partake in all the fun married life things like paying grown up bills, making dinner almost every other night (Tim doesn't eat leftovers), buying curtains and a new comforter, cleaning ALL THE TIME, and keeping a yard. Guys I can't tell you how much I did not know about keeping a yard. Tim mows every week, and the weeds!!! I promise once the house is cleaner I'll post some pictures. One month down and many more to go. Oh, I forgot to add sharing a bed the list of grown up married things. Guys, Tim sleeps like every night is a fight!!!! So...we will hopefully be buying a bigger mattress, because lets be honest I am grumpy when my sleep is messed with. But, I am so thankful for all of these grown up married things that we get to do and share together. I could not imagine a more special and awesome person to share them with. Also we are working on some different things for sharing things with you guys so that you can keep up with what we are doing. So stay posted!!! Well, now I have to get back to those married things.

The Post About My Hair

So for friends who have known me for a while, you can obviously tell that my hair has most definitely changed over the past few months. This has a lot to do with the fact that I was fed up with my old hair and needed to do something different. For years I have been trying to grow my hair. I can honestly say that I have been obsessed with growing long hair since I was a little girl. Maybe it was all those princess movies that had girls with long flowing hair ( Pocahontas, Princess Jasmine, Ariel).

I was on a visit to my parent's house after spending a summer in Ohio. I had just gotten another perm and noticed how much shorter my hair was. I was so fed up and mad! I just knew that there had to be a way to solve the issues I felt I was having with my hair. So I got on my mom's tablet and started searching for ways to grow hair, and I happened upon BlackGirlLongHair.com. I noticed how healthy the hair was on the women who were on the site. I spent hours pouring over "natural hair" and happened upon videos on YouTube. It was then that I noticed that there was nothing wrong with my hair and should not longer continue trying to hide what God gave me. So, I decided on a day in Early August that I was no longer going to perm my hair anymore. I was going to be happy with what God gave me. I can honestly say that I have never been so happy with my hair, and it was all because I was willing to accept what God gave me.

I am now a year and a half perm free and I feel so much healthier. The change in hair health has also lead to me wanting to change my health in general. I just thank God for getting through to me and helping me see that I am beautiful the way He made me. So, with all this being said I plan to do posts about natural hair, and sharing some of the sites that I have found that have helped me. But for now enjoy these photos of me and my hair :D

What is your hair story? Share them with me!!!
