Life is always changing, but lately I have personally had a few big changes.
I started school. I'm going to a community college - starting at square one - and working towards getting into the nursing program. I'm only taking a couple classes per semester until little D is a big Kindergartner, so I'll be doing this for a long time...
I cut my hair. It had gotten pretty long, so this was a drastic change. However, I am no stranger to a short hairstyle so it hasn't been weird to me - just weird for my friends here in New Mexico that have only known me with long hair.
I had Lasik surgery. This, strangely enough, has been the hardest change for me. I'm really happy I did it and have no regrets - it's great! - but I didn't realize that I would miss my glasses. I've worn glasses basically since I was seven years old. When something has been a part of your face for that long, it feels a little... sad to be without it. I'm a total crackpot, I know! Give me a few more weeks and I will be 100% glad to be glasses free, instead of 80%.

I get it - missing your glasses, I mean. You know what's weird? Since I've had Lasik I have sort of missed my old vision. Not enough to regret Lasik, of course. But sometimes I feel a little sad that nearly blind part of me is no longer. Still, I'm SOOO happy to be able to see.
Btw, I still absolutely LOVE your hair!
-E.
Whoa, those are big changes. I am so impressed that you are back in school. That takes dedication! Oh, and I love your new hair cut!
Mel, always changing for the better...I didn't think that was possible:)
I know what you mean about the glasses. I am finally used to it!
Wow those are exciting changes! Have fun in school - it is so much better when you actually WANT to go, to reach a goal. And cute hair!
Also, one person I know wears glasses with just glass lenses (no prescription) just because they like the way it looks. Ha ha! Just an option if you miss them too much. :)
Nice hair. It looks so good on you. It'll be the perfect hair cut for a busy student and mom. I think you'll be a great nurse, and I'm sure it will go faster than you think. I too will return to school when my youngest gets a little bigger. And the Lasik...I'm so jealous!
wow you have had a lot going on. Why the decision to go back to school? What lasik painful? You will have to let me know. Looks like life is rolling well for you.
Dude! I wish you lived up here so I could go to school with you! I'd love to go into nursing, but I need a motivator!
Wow, big changes! Your hair is now like I remember it- it looks great both ways. I hope you adjust to your new eyes soon:) Good luck in school!
I wish you all the best with nursing. I have been there and done that, so let me know if you need amy advice/encouragement. Way to go!
