Curly girl
As you can see from my profile pic and my “Currently Reading”, I am trying to embrace my curly-haired side. Its way less work to just let my hair dry naturally, but I’m still getting used to seeing myself with curly hair. (See the comments from my last post for more about my profile pic - I won’t bore anyone with repeated info.) Everyone at church seems kind of shocked that I have this secret curly hair. Its pretty funny, actually. I’ve been trying the methods from the book, and I think I had forgotten just how curly my hair actually is. We’ll see how long this lasts 
Joe prefers it straight, but I think that’s just beause he’s used to it straight. Once he gets used to it curly, he’ll prefer it that way too. When my hair was short he told me to keep it short because he liked it best that way… Now that its long, he says not to cut it because he likes it long.
Church was really good today. At first I thought I might disagree with the sermon, but I ended up really enjoying it. It was about God leading us through tough times. My pastor is punitive-minded, as far as I can tell based on how they raise their kids, and I thought it might show through in this sermon. He did a good job though. He even went as far as to say that many parents work too hard on controlling their children when they should be loving them. I liked that statement. He said that he believes that this causes a lot of problems once the kids are adults, because the parents overstep their boundries and try to control their kids even once they are grown. This causes the kids to push the parents away and ruins the relationship. Very interesting for him to say, since it seems to me like they are very controlling with their kids.
Still, I really like him, and they have chosen great parenting curriculums even though I think they may be Ezzo-ers. I mean, I don’t think they would say that, since Ezzo is pretty frowned upon in general, but I think that they probably practice a lot of things that they read in his books. I know they believe in a literal “rod”.
Well, we’re off to Red Robin. My kids are psyched, as is my husband. They all LOVE Red Robin. I have to admit that it is quite good. That terriyaki burger is awesome.
