tuesday i got a haircut.
my hair was about three inches below my shoulders.
i got about 2 inches cut off. it is above my shoulders now.
AND I LOVE IT!!!!
oh my goodness. it is soooo easy to maintain and it looks so cute!
i wear my bangs curly now because it gives my hair more VolUmE and it looks better too!
*sigh* i love it.

Youth Conference in NY
So these past few days our whole stake has been up in New York and Pennsylvania.
We arrived at the stake center ready to leave at 4:30 in the morning.
About 200-300 kids and leaders boarded 4 charter buses headed for Palmyra - with a few stops on the way.
at around 10 o'clock we arrived in Harmony, Pennsylvania where some little presentations and classes were held. We then boarded the bus again and headed to Fayette, New York. In Fayette, we toured the Peter Whitmer farm and went through the visitors center there. We also had lunch and played a few games.
Around 6-ish, we again boarded the buses and headed to the Palmyra stake center where the Palmyra stake hosted a dance for us. It was very hot and sweaty and many people were a little loopy because of our lack of sleep. But it was super fun!
After the dance, we were picked up by our host families and taken to their houses. We were conked out by 12.
At the house I was staying at, there were 14 people (12 girls, 2 adults) to one bathroom. But it was fun! A little hectic, but still fun.
On friday, we went to many church historical sites in our matching navy blue shirts including the E.B. Grandin Building, the Smith farm, the Palmyra temple, and the Hill Cumorah. Then, at around 7 or so, the whole group made our way to the Hill Cumorah Pageant. We were given vouchers for food and by 8:45 we were in our seats ready for the show. The Pageant was amazing! The story line was easy to follow and there were many awesome effects!
We left at around 11-something for our host homes and were asleep pretty soon.
On Saturday, we dressed in church attire because we were going to the Sacred Grove.
We spent a little while in the Sacred Grove for personal time. It was so peaceful and beautiful in there!
We then boarded the buses and headed back to the stake center where we had one last meeting. After the meeting, we ate lunch, changed for the buses, and made our way home. We left around 3ish. On the ride home, we watched Meet the Robinsons, High School Musical, and Tarzan. At about 7, we stopped for a quick rest stop and got some dinner at McDonald's and Subway. Hmhm. i love greasy food. We then traveled for another 3 hours and got home around 11.
I slept very well that night.
This upcoming week, my family and I are going back to New York for 3 days, but this time we're going to New York, NY. NY is such a beautiful place.
What happened in Palmyra and Fayette and other places are simply amazing.

and he's like "i thought i knew you from somewhere"
and i'm just like "wow."
