Oh what a weekend :)

I got to do something really fun this weekend--throw a water party/ice cream social for a bunch of kids and their families. The families are living in a local shelter. It was so fun to see these little kids running around having so much fun, kids really are resilient! I was really happy that I got to spend so much time with the ladies that I went with too. I feel truly blessed to have them in my life.

Guess what else? I found my first gray hair. I almost died. You should have heard me shriek for Jeff to make sure it was actually gray and not just really blond :) I am still not TOTALLY convinced it was gray because the hair closest to the root was brown. I have to cling to any small amount of hope that I can! I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago and my hairdresser said "Oh my gosh! You have a few really curly hairs hidden in here, can I pull one out to show you?" Of course I said yes, and sure enough it was super curly. I apparently only had about 5 in the middle of all of my hair. When I asked why that would happen she said " I hate to tell you this Michelle, but our hair changes as we get older. The shaft and texture can change." Anyway, between that and the possibly gray hair, I am boycotting getting older.

If the root was brown we'll say it wasn't a gray hair. Feel better?

If that's what those super curly little hairs mean I'm in trouble too. I've found a few of those myself.
