Lightning Strikes Twice: Going brown...

Going brown...

So I finally dyed my hair brown - been wanting to do it for months. I was going to wait until I had the baby so I didn't have dark hair draped over a fat face. Oh well. Got sick of waiting... So I went to Jen's since she's in beauty school. I wanted her to mix and apply the color so she would get the practice and confidence. Cathy - I think secretly knowing how LONG Jen can take since she's a perfectionist volunteered to help too. She even gave me her COLORING MOO MOO!!! Ah! I was laughing so hard - so surreal to be in my mother in law's moo moo...look how huge I am in it! I know I've gained 30 lbs but, man, those babies don't do any figure any good! So Cathy's in my coloring apron and I'm in her moo moo...

Jen took FOREVER on her side. Her mom was whooping her even. I was afraid my head would be black before she was done! But she's a detail person and she did great. We had a good time that day.

S. and A. Millar said...: Remember how slow we were when we first started, A color and a cut was booked out for a half a day. Hahaha those were some fun times huh?! I like the color you chose its very pretty, and makes your eys stand out! Why did you want to go dark? Its so funny that Cathy has a moo moo designated as her color moo moo, lol. I never thought I'd see the day when you wore a moo moo. They do look comfy I have to admit! I'm sure Jen was soo excited to do it for you! She did a good job.; August 7, 2008 at 9:54 AM

October is Baby Loss Remembrance Month, so look for walks and candle light ceremonies near you - or start one of your own!

The last weekend of April we went to Payson for a family retreat with Hospice. It's specifically for families who have recently lost a loved one. It was a great, positive time. The kids thrived wtih other kids who have had to look at death. Ironically, there was a nurse there who had, 25 years ago, lost a son to SIDS. She still cried when she shared about it. I was thankful for her. I was thankful for everyone, their honesty. We are all on a struggle together, no matter the loss we face. The retreat is held twice a year if you are interested.

"...and the infant perisheth not that die in his infancy..." Mosiah 3:18

"The Lord takes many away even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again."

"All children are redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the moment that children leave this world, they are taken to the bosom of Abraham."- The first LDS Prophet, Joseph Smith, said this. Whether or not he was inspired spiritually, he was a father who lost babies as well. He had a stillborn son, twins die at birth, and a baby die in infancy. Somehow, thinking of his family's losses and perseverance gives me comfort.

"And in that day...there shall be no sorrow because there is no death.

"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;

"And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious.

"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things-"

Doctrine and Covenants 101:29-31
