The Evolution Of My Hair.

One of the biggest mistakes in a girls life is cutting her hair.

 For my sake, lets throw "coloring her hair" in that statement as well. 
Today I was thinking about all the different haircuts, styles, and colors that I've had over the past 5 years. This inspired me to set out on a journey to make a collection of all the hair colors and styles I've had. Wowzas

Enjoy....

Lets start Freshman year of College. 
Goth days. 
Kidding..but WHAT was I thinking?

 Alright, just to clarify...the whole "fo-hawk" stage was a one-time deal.
Highlighted.

Highlighted & chopped. 

Fading....

...and dyed again. 

BANGS!

Growing, and highlighted.
(This is the END of Junior year...)

Uhhh...BLONDE. 

That nasty color when you're trying to get back to brown...

Dark, and growing out. 

FALSE ALARM. 8 inches off. 

Gross Brown/Red/Purple color. 

Highlighted to attempt at getting my NATURAL color back!
(This is the END of Senior Year)

Getting closer.......
(October 2011)

THERE IT IS! 100% Natural and LOVING IT. I'm done with the nasty/fried/broken hair!
...only took me over 5 years to get back to this point. WHEW!  


 P.S. Please take note that I AM a recovering tan-a-holic. (I've been clean for 15 months) 
...and I'm DERN proud of it! ;) 

and now..you could also say I'm a recovering hair-dye-a-holic. :)

Remember That One Time I Became A Blogger? I Don't.

Once upon a time, I took up blogging for fun. That lasted for 8 posts, and 3 months. The End.

                                                                                                ........PSYCHHH...I'M BAAAACK :) 

So, for all you cool cats that missed me over the past year (anyone? No?...alright that's cool too..) WELL...THIS WOULD BE FOR YOU! 

Anyone that knows me, knows my love for photos. No matter what the occasion...so no better way to sum up the past year, than a picture from every month! So let's take off where we left off...

July 2011
My 1st Niece was born! July 29th! Hadley Brooklyn Kate. 
(Love this picture of Hudson :) 

August 2011

This has to be one of my favorite months in the past year, because this is the time when Gretch and I packed up & moved to TN without any jobs, and knowing less than a handful of people. This had to be one of the craziest/best decisions of my life...and for all the skeptics who doubted us..PROVED YA WRONG. :)

September 2011

A week after moving to TN, I started nannying for these cuties! Rylie Grace & Baylie were such a blessing, these girls and their parents will always have a special place in my heart! 

October 2011

 Jed & Andy came to visit from PA for a week! This was everyone's 1st time at the Bluebird Cafe...which is an awesome historic piece of Nashville! 

November 2011

Home for the Holidays! :) Thanksgiving with the cousins. 1st time we've ALL been together for Thanksgiving in awhile! 

December 2011

 Ellen came to visit, & this was my 1st time @ Opryland! A MUST-SEE around Christmas time! Gorgeous! 

January 2012

Missi, Karen, (Danielle) & I meeting Seth, Donny, & Jeremiah from CMT's Sweet Home Alabama! Awesome guys! ...I also started a new job nannying for Brooks Marie this month, but we'll wait for Feb. to see that. :) 

February 2012

There she is! This is Brooks Marie! One of the sweetest little girls ever! This was at the Opryland for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association! Fun times! :) I also officially started my business in Professional Organizing! Simply Organized. (ohh, and I saw Randy Rogers Band in concert for the 1st time!)

March 2012

March consisted of a lot of visitors. 19 to be exact.  Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, concerts, St. Patty's Day (#letsgodowntown) & much more! March was an all around solid month! :)

April 2012

Yes...that is Josh Abbott and I. My guess is you don't know him..but someday you will. I might have blown up his twitter so much, that he was actually looking for me before the concert, and asked another girl if she was LK_iSH because he was trying to find me. (sigh)
 I also love this day, because I became an official TN resident. (9 months later...)

May 2012

My little buddy Huddy turned 3! Of course I went home for the celebration! Who could miss this little stud's party? I Love You Hudson Michael! 

June 2012

June was one heck of a whirl-wind! IN for one of my best friend's wedding! (Congrats to Jenna & Nick!) CMA Fest/CMT Awards w/ Karen, more visits from more friends, & a week in Florida with this wonderful family! Laura & Ryan so graciously picked me up on the way, and let me stay with them for the week! We all had a great time!! 

July 2012

Home again! (There was a lot of that this Spring & Summer..) @ Hacienda for my 24th birthday celebration! So blessed by all the friends that showed up! I loved seeing everyone! & these 2 pretty girls deserve a birthday shout-out as well! 
Yay for July birthdays, & the fair. (My favorite time of the year.) :) 

August 2012

The parents FINALLY made it down to see me..only took them a year! We had a great time! I also had a great time working at the Bass Pro Shop Land & Wildlife Expo! (TEAM MAXIMUM!) ...my organizing business reached a new level, & I'm very excited about it! AND...Gretchen, Missi & I moved from Spring Hill to Nashville! ..and gained a new roommate! KAREN! :) 

September 2012

Home again! Rachel & Josh's wedding! (CONGRATS!) ...I LOVE my beautiful friends! Don't know where I'd be without these girls! 

...and there you have it! My past year at it's finest! I'm so incredibly blessed by all the people in my life, and by all the opportunities I've been given! Here's to the next!

Oh..and since it's September 22nd, I can officially say:

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! :)
