but unlike that old time, this time it was on purpose.
I'm trying to look like Rory. (wishful thinking, I know)
And Mish (but I don't have a pic of her new bangs yet).
And also, our stake had a women's conference this week and I attended classes about emergency preparedness, family finances, and prioritizing life's demands. Lots of room for improvement. Still, the resounding message I took away from the evening is to relax, and simply be okay with however I happen to be doing and whoever I happen to be. Can I just say that, in a world that cuts women only a little slack for falling short of perfection (which is still more slack than we cut ourselves), I am so very grateful to know that what I'm doing is enough. Who I am is enough. There will always always always be countless people better than me in whatever area I'm choosing to focus on, and that could be quite discouraging if I didn't already know that their awesomeness doesn't make a difference to me. Like my fa reminds, there is enough room in heaven for us all.
So dirty laundry is spilling out of every closet in my house. So I yelled at my kids today. So I don't like my nose. So I'm too cynical. So I covet people with a backyard and artistic ability and a baby that sleeps. So I wish I were funnier, smarter, skinnier, and sweeter. Doesn't mean I'm not making it to heaven. I'll try to be better. And that's perfection enough.

I tried to do the Rory bang a few years ago and they definitley did not turn out as cute as yours. Way to go, bangs are such a brave thing to do.
I totally dig your bangs and your old stomping grounds. You're an awesome mom and person. I want to be like you when I grow up.
I love that we'll see you in not too long...and that I'll recognize you when we do! I'm not going to be that brave, but way to go.
Beauty. I remember a few years ago when I wanted to look like Rory (or Anne Hathaway in the Devil Wears Prada). Then I realized that blunt bangs + curly hair = bad news. But I think they look just lovely on you. You're even cuter than rory.
I seriously was thinking to myself just this morning that I don't like my nose... maybe if I had your bangs it would be cuter!
Way to be ok with how you are!
Whatever . . . you are way prettier than Rory with or without bangs. Thanks for being such a great example to me. I think you are awesome and always - enough.
Love the bangs, T!
You have got it all--hubby, kiddies, beauty, brains, boundless talent, and now--rockin' bangs. =)
The bangs are super cute. And, who could be prettier, funnier, smarter, or skinnier than you? But, compating ourselves to others is, like you said, a complete waste of time and emotional energy. God made us so we must be okay just the way we are.
