What a simple haircut can do...

Today I got a haircut. You know it feels really good to cut your hair sometimes. It sounds cheesy, but it really represented getting rid of some stuff on my mind. I know that sounds so strange, but I realized the other day as Brice and I were having our silly silo conversation that I am about to start another year of school (us teachers work on semesters not quarters like the rest of the world) and more than likely I will continue the same monotony of each day. Don't get me wrong, I love routine...I thrive on it, but I have realized with my 29th birthday approaching that I have a really blah life. I don't take many risks and I am not living out the life I want to live. So...with that said, I got my haircut kind of as a beginning of this new journey.
I have been thinking about a list of things that I have really been longing to do...silly things that don't make any sense. I really think this is going to be my year to start checking these things off my imaginary to do list. I guess one of those is already fulfilled in starting this blog. I used to listen to 20 somethings talk about times just like these in their lives and think..."whoa...weirdo...I am always going to be awesome doing great, cool things." NOT!!!!!! I am really learning each day that I am called to do so much more than what I am doing. I am living in this safe place and I need to get out and tell my story so to speak...experience the life that I was meant to lead.
On a totally different note, I will be absent from my blog for a few days b/c my amazing husband Brice, is taking me on a surprise trip for my birthday. I don't know where I am going or what we will be doing...I love that about him. I love that he is spontaneous and loves to give me surprises. I already told him we could be going to downtown Dallas for all I care...I just want to be with him. So...I will hopefully have lots of pictures and stories to tell soon. Have a safe weekend.

Hi Katie! Are you suprised I'm doing this? I read your blog every day and it really is nice as it gives me an idea what you are up to, since we don't taalk every day. You're really good at keeping up on this; I wouldn't have the will power. I noticed you're not getting any comments, is that unusual for one of these or not? I can't wait to hear about your birthday adventure with B. Happy birthday in advance!
