memory lane...

Lately, I have been remembering a lot of details of my life that I had forgotten. I noticed that when I met James, memories started pouring out. I think this is a sign that I feel completely comfortable sharing my entire heart with him. James has brought me so much healing since I've met him, and honestly I do not believe I could have gotten through the last two years without him.

Here is funny memory I thought of the other day!
Ok so 7th grade I wanted my hair to look like Bernadette Peters'(see below).

I am not even sure that it is possible to perm a persons hair and have results that look close to her hair. All I could do was dream of having this wonderful, bouncy, curly hair. Why? I have no clue!! My hair is nothing like Bernadette's hair-it's pretty much the opposite. Long, blonde, and naturally pretty straight.
 So my mom living her teenaged years in the 80's said she would do the perm for me. We took a trip to Sally's beauty supply and we purchased this apple scented permanent, and these special curlers that would give me the perfect Bernadette spiral curls.
Half way through the process(as in half my head), my mom realized that the apple scented permanent was almost gone! My mom was pretty positive and thought it would be fine and she continued to use the remaining portion on the other side.
 You can imagine the results...half my head was permed and the other half was kind of frizzy with a couple defined "waves". I was mortified! I could not start 7th grade looking like I had stuck my finger in a light socket. I believe my mom and I tried one more perm on my head with those curlers but it just made the already curly side curlier and the wavy/frizzy side more wavy.
So I began the 7th grade not with perfect ringlet curls I wanted, but wavy/curly hair that I ended up wearing in a ponytail most days.
