Ahem, I know I missed last week, the theme was music and the concert I was banking on to get pics for the challenge canceled at the last minute.....so I bagged it and now this weeks theme is animals sooooo I'd like you to meet.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My class pets at school! Pepper is the grey guy on the left and Barbie is the reddish one on the right. It was cage cleaning day and Thursday and I snagged a picture. They are always intensely curious about the other hamster they smell, but I'm nervous to put them in the same bucket.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pepper is an adopted pet, he belonged to an older kid class but then when that teacher left the new gal didn't want him, so I took him in. He bit at first, but I've held him enough now he's great with the kids! And Barbie is actually the class next doors hamster, but again, the old teacher left and the new teacher isn't into rodents, so I clean and take care of Barbie for her!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In other animal news, growing up my parents had the coolest fish tank.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/616aCOeSouL._SL1001_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/616aCOeSouL._SL1001_.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I've been looking for one for years. I was once again reminiscing about it when my dad found it on Amazon (like duh, I never did think to look on there, just on Pinterest.....) so I ordered it and it should be here in a couple days *squeeeeeee*!!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, since we have a cat at my house, Pepper and Barbie will be getting a new aquatic friend! Hopefully if I don't name the new fish Sushi (I made it up to Sushi Jr. the 9th before I gave up on that name. The last one banged his head into the side of the cup all the way home from Wal-Mart and was almost dead by the time we got home.....) this one will live a little longer!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the kids stuck this little man in a glass at work and I was suddenly hit with a vauge memory. I just couldn't remember the little guys name though..... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I googled: little guy in a glass who lived in the kitchen, and got exactly what i was looking for, I was pretty excited!</div>

Finally have a name tag with my name on it for teaching Sunday school. My last one just said:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
V.I.P.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very Important Parent</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, after weeks of fielding questions about my kids(ahem, they as of this very moment do not exist, but I'm sure when they do I will be very important to them!) I was very excited to get my name tag this morning!</div>

This weeks theme was silhouette, a word I can never spell correctly on the first try! I've always loved the way the sun rising and/or setting creates a silhouetted horizon! Snagged this picture from my churches parking lot, it's one of my favorite views, no power lines or houses to interrupt the gorgeous sunsets! </div>

This weeks theme is water and I was despairing of what on earth I could take a picture of considering the most exciting water related thing that happened to me this week was the potties in my classroom finally flushing correctly because they took them out and put them back in to put the awesome new floors in my room!!! </div>

Anywhoodle, back to the reason for this post, my Mom and I were out and about and stopped for an iced coffee in our adorable town square, then we sat right in front of this fountain, and you were all saved from a picture of a tiny toilet flushing! ;-)</div>

More specifically the creamy, wonderful magic that is overnight oats! I had been seeing recipes for it around Pinterest for awhile now, and the idea of a healthy, on the go meal was intriguing. But not being a yogurt fan none of them caught my attention, yogurt being the main ingredient besides oats. Then I saw a few that took soy/coconut/almond milk and the wheels in my head started turning!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Notes</i></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Old fashioned oats are best, the steel cut stay to hard (like eating birdseed, yuck!) and the quick oats turn to mush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I use whole milk, but fat free woks as well, the finished product just isn't as creamy and chocolate milk is pretty fantastic as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I've let these sit anywhere from 5-14 hours and they are good. just as long as you use the old fashioned oats!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Not just for breakfast, I've been taking them to work for lunch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The flavor combos are pretty endless, pear or peaches in the chai would be good. Or I'm already planning on a pumpkin spice for fall and an eggnog version for Christmas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me know how your oats turn out and I'd love to hear about any fun flavors you come up with!</div>

Wednesday was my two year anniversary at work and that called for a celebratory stop at Target for some sparkly nail polish, a cake pop and a black tea-mango-lemonade, which was pretty good! Plus, how cute are the summer Starbucks cups?</div>

Mmm, fresh peaches from the farmers market, we also got some cherry lime and spicy caramel popcorn! 10lbs may not seem like much to carry, but the awkward way I had to carry the basket and the 1/2 mile back to the car it I'm pretty sure the basket gained a few pounds.....</div>

Took Becca shopping for her birthday and I was done trying on my pile of things before everyone else (apparently I'm a fast try-er on-er, rather then everyone else being slow.....humph) So I took an outfit photo in the mirror at the end of the hallway. Never tried to get a mirror shot without the camera in front of my face, it's not as easy as I assumed!</div>

Something else pretty big happened in these past few months, this girl (or is it old lady now? Hmmm....) turned 29, for the first and only time I might add! ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Age has never been a huge issue for me, (a few age related break downs have happened over the years, but let's say I'm cool with it 95% of the time!) I mean it's only a number right? I still feel as spry as I did when I was a teen and have waaaay less medical problems and complaints about aches and pains then the girls 10 years younger then me at work, and I know I am extremely blessed in this and thank God often for this huge blessing of good health!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kind of meant to start this on my birthday to document the last year of my 20's and my journey towards.....well.....erm.....*insert whatever touchy feely sentiment you want*..... but alas a stomach bug decided to join me on my birthday this year and so when I wasn't at work trying not to erupt on the kids, I was in bed zoning out in front of my computer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I suddenly have more free time on my hands I was going to get back into blogging as I've missed it, so drum roll please.....</div>

I am going to attempt this, hopefully a weekly photo challenge will be more easily met then the daily ones I've attempted before! Starting with week 25, mostly so I don't have to try and come up with the seasonal pics off schedule! ;-)</div>

Hmm, hey, yep I'm still alive, wasn't arrested or kidnapped and the aliens didn't manage to pick me up this time, but there is always next time.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywhoodle.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have noticed that there have been some posts removed. The reason being after spending more time with Miles in his home and seeing how he and his very nice and supportive group of friends and family lived, I realized that there were some basic, but never-the-less important, lifestyle differences and a few ways we see the world differently that would have made a long term healthy relationship impossible. So, I called off the wedding, and ultimately the relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is nothing wrong with him or his family and friends, there is nothing wrong with me and my family. We should have spent more time around each other in our own environments before getting engaged as it would have led to these conclusions without the sticky awkward, painful mess of canceling a wedding a week before it was supposed to happen.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few things I have learned through this experience are long distance relationships are hard, and are going to take longer then your traditional dating relationship, so be patient and make spending real time together with each others family and friends a priority! Online dating is a good tool, but just know, it will most likely lead to a long distance, drawn out courtship process!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you and your loved ones are constantly fighting about your relationship and you normally don't fight long term about things, you might want to take a good long hard look at what is causing the arguments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doubts are normal, but burying them and not talking about them with anyone is not. If you have doubts about something, find someone to talk too besides the person directly involved in the doubts. A pastor, friend, a parent or sibling, just someone who is removed form the drama enough to be a more neutral third party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep God always at the forefront, in all areas of your life. Sadly, I put mine and Miles relationship ahead of my relationship with God and that was my biggest mistake, a good healthy relationship should be leading you closer to God, not distracting you from Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I make mistakes, YES! Do I think calling the wedding off was one of them? No! My only regret in calling off the wedding is hurting Miles, he is a good man and I know God has wonderful pans for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have learned a lot this past 7 months or so, and know God is using this experience to grow and make me more like Him. I feel peace and joy returning to my life and am excited to see what God has next for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, prayers, comments and questions are always welcome! =)</div>

Got my first smart phone, a Samsung Galaxy s3 for those interested in the tech side of things, with Straight talk, which even with buying the phone and a warranty on the phone will be soooo much cheaper!

In more exciting news, one of the perks of the real job is having health insurance, which means I could finally get the glasses with the <a href="http://www.crizalusa.com/About-Crizal/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Crizal lenses</a> I'd been drooling over for years.....yes, I've been pining after anti glare lenses, I'm <i><b>that</b></i> cool! </div>

The frames are Hungry Heart in Cherry Bomb by Rivet and Sway, and sadly enough they just went of business. I loved how they would send you three pairs of frames to try on at home, especially since I have a big head and am super picky about the fit of my frames! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I snuck in under the wire with them and am super happy I did, I LOVE my new glasses and the lenses are as awesome as I'd hoped! So even though you can't get the frames, the lenses are definitely worth the extra money, which I didn't have to spend thanks to the perk of health insurance! ;-)</div>

A standard if kind of meh snack food that I never really got excited about, until my friend/coworker/crowd controller/fellow prison guard (depending on the day) AKA Grace, brought some homemade Chex Mix to work.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....Can you say UH-mazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all to quickly ran out and her Mom only makes it at Christmas, sad day freinds, sad day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so we'd been rendered tasty-salty-slightly sweet-crunchy snack free, at least until I decided to stop being lazy and made some myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the base recipe on, where else, Pinterest and changed it up a bit, because where's the fun in following the recipe? ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_YyrI6_cR1M8mMs7HCOrlq_FMVmfFeckOdeLFadxXdia3nIRZTMtkAbRPLWiYdNVOowmNzHmuGhajprS59o8UtvpmHmwd0X5xpHPiii594f5dRKqES3is83092WIzZV0EA8z5t90_G-g/s1600/DSCN0124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_YyrI6_cR1M8mMs7HCOrlq_FMVmfFeckOdeLFadxXdia3nIRZTMtkAbRPLWiYdNVOowmNzHmuGhajprS59o8UtvpmHmwd0X5xpHPiii594f5dRKqES3is83092WIzZV0EA8z5t90_G-g/s1600/DSCN0124.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chex Mix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 stick butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 C worcestershire sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tsp spicy salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tsp pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tsp garlic powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tsp onion powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 C Wheat Chex</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 C Rice Chex </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 C Apple Cinnamon Chex or Corn Chex</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 C pretzels</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup roasted salted peanuts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 250.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melt butter, add next 5 ingredients, set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix rest of ingredients in a LARGE bowl and pour butter mix over it, toss to coat. Pour into an 11x15 pan, with sides, and cook for one hour, stirring every 15 mins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let cool, then store in an airtight container!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>A few notes on the above recipe.....</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can of course substitute any mix of cereals you want, I added three cups of the wheat Chex, instead of just the one cup it called for and just added less of the others. The wheat are my fav, and since I'm making it I can be prejudiced that way, so there! =P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original recipe also called for Bugles, which I wanted to add, but they didn't have them where I was buying everything else, so those will have to wait for the next batch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The apple cinnamon Chex are amazing, so even if they seem weird, I promise the sweetness pairs really well with the savory butter mixture. Grace's Mom put apple cinnamon cheerios in her mix, so I can't claim the taste sensation as my own!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

.....you accidentally press the water button on the fridge instead of the ice one.....oh and did I mention the fact that you were using your hands to catch the "ice"? And this may or may not have happened multiple time before.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....you fail at remembering the childhood nickname you used as a security question.....um, yeah, can't recall, what did you all call me again for the first 20 years of my life??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....you have to teach 28 two year olds to sing and dance to Jingle Bell Rock and only having two weeks to do so.....yeah, this is going to go swimmingly..... now if only you could remember the right words.....! =P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....you are trying to decide if Hulu watching and sleeping can be considered hobbies, 'cause that might be the only thing you have the mental energy for most nights.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....those eHarmony commercials no longer inspire the same, like I'll ever resort to that, feelings they used to.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Now, it's time for that awesome moment when.....</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....you get the see Frozen and it is every bit as fantastic as you'd hope.....though the fact the character you most identify with is a reindeer is a little less awesome..... ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....you realize that the peppermint mocha VIA is back at Starbucks!! Seriously, this stuff is amazing!</div>

Never been kissed.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been flirted with.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been danced with.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been held hands with.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been singled out of a crowd.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been the cause of any sleepless night or absentminded days.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been told through a simple smile that I am the only one for them.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Every day the refrain in my head is getting louder....</b></i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Never been.....never have.....never will</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been pretty enough....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been skinny enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been outgoing enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been hard working enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been funny enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been smart enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been good enough.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never been right.....<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>There is something wrong with me.....</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Never been.....never have.....never will</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then my soul smacks me upside the head and suddenly I remember I've.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Never been alone.....<br />
<br />
Never been forsaken.....<br />
<br />
Never been forgotten.....<br />
<br />
Never been un-held.....<br />
<br />
Never been unloved.....<br />
<br />
Never been truly hopeless.....<br />
<br />
Never been failed by Him whom my soul loves.....<br />
<br />
And suddenly, <b><i>never been,</i></b> doesn't seem so scary anymore, because I know deep down in my heart, even if my head isn't quite on board all the time that I have a Savior in heaven and even if my dream of an earthly<br />
love never comes true.....<br />
<br />
<div>
He held out his arms for me.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He cried for me.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He gave up everything for me.....</div>

Yes, I have my bad discontent days, where it seems like everybody around me is in a relationship and I should just give up hope, put a bag over my fat ugly face and become the crazy book hoarding spinster of my pity party daydreams!<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">But you know what? </span></i></b><br />
<br />
I think for today, I will shove those spinster demons back in the box, take the bag off my head and smile at the world, because I've got some good news to share.....<br />
<br />
We have a God who loved us so much that even with our all our faults and screw ups, He sent His Son to save us!<br />
<br />
I'll take it one day at a time, one step at a time on the hard days, I will push back my fears and remember the good news I have to share and live my life for the glory of God!<br />
<br />
Here are some verses I've found comforting on those woe is me, what am I doing with my life, nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go at worms, type days!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jeremiah 29:11</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hebrews 13:5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For he Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numbers 6:24-26</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lord bless you and keep you;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and give you peace</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 Corinthians 10:31 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or what ever you do, do all to the glory of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ecclesiastes 9:10a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What ever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Colossians 3:17</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father though Him.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts and opinions, prayers and advice are </span>always<span style="font-family: inherit;"> welcome as well! =)</span></span><br />

This weekend I was supposed to be down in Alabama with my sis, but my car decided to strand along the interstate, at night. I have never felt quite so alone or so VERY thankful for cell phones in my entire life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily I was within 50 miles of home so my parents could come and get me, instead of the middle of nowhere Alabama! Hopefully the third time is a charm with car fixes, and this will be the last time those poor mechanics have to see my car for awhile!</div>

Three good things I've found about having to wear a uniform for work.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~I don't have to think in the morning about what to wear, an activity which takes a lot of time some mornings and I have an entire week to plan just two days!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~I don't feel sad when the kids get something on my clothes, heck, it's not just the kids, I wipe my hands on myself just as much! ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~I feel the freedom to splurge on the nicer pieces because I only wear "normal" clothes two days week so don't need as many basics!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There, I've done the Pollyanna thing and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, onto the point of this point of this post, welcome to The Weekender!! In which I will chronicle my two days of fashion freedom! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahem, yes, for the astute among you, you will notice my hair is gone, no, it's not the cut I was hoping for, but there was some mis-communication between the stylist and I! I'm hoping it will grow out into what I want within the next few months!</div>
