I once saw a quote that said “Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”   It’s kind of crazy to think about that.   A little scary too!   Life is moving quickly and I am the youngest I will ever be again. (Physically, maybe not mentally J ).   I’m not saying that getting older is a bad thing, because with age comes even more blessings every day, I just find it interesting to think that I’m another year older and supposedly another year wiser. Each year I get older means that there will be another year full of surprises, challenges, heartache, love, joy, and knowledge.  I think I get excited about that.  The part that makes me sad about getting older each year is that life has really started to move quickly.  I’ve already been married for almost 11 months- which is crazy because I feel like I just started wedding planning.

We just went into TCCOR 1 ( T ropical C yclone C onditions o f R eadiness), which means destructive sustained winds of 50 knots or greater are expected within 12 hours... kind of scary,  but more so kind of exciting!  This will be our first typhoon that we are going through and as of now, I'm excited!  We've downloaded movies, have lots of snacks and water ready, and I get to spend time with the hubster... what more could I want?! ....  I wrote that last night. and now it's 7:30AM.  Nothing big happened last night, just kind of windy but nothing crazy.  SOOO Arthur and I both got ready for work this morning and just as I finished getting ready and was walking downstairs to my car, Arthur yelled for me to come back up.  We went into TCCOR 1C (Caution) which means no work for the two of us as of now!  YAY!!!

My hair is a piece of work.  I am thankful for my hair and most times I love it, but it just can be difficult to work with sometimes. I can't even begin to explain how much effort goes into it, buying hair gel, moisturizers, conditioners, detanglers, special combs... the list goes on.  It's always pretty fun to try different hair products. The texture and curl of my hair changes a lot strangely, so I always like to use different products to see how they work.  I have recently been using WonderCurl Hair Gel which you can buy here .  I tried the "Butter than Love Pudding" which seriously smells so good.  (Makes a difference when buying hair products- more apt to put good smelling product in my hair ;)).  This product is more of a cream or moisturizer rather than a gel however, but it does have a light hold to it so you don't need to apply a gel in addition to the cream, and you can use it as a stand-alone product.The company also sent me two sample sizes of "...
