Love/hate relationship with my hair.

I have really stubborn hair, always have ever since I was a child. When I was growing up, I had super thin/fine hair, you could hardly do anything with it! You curl it, 2 hours later, it's straight, scrunch it to try to see if there's any natural curl in there, NOTHIN'! So finally when I turned 13, and guess what my hair is finally thick enough for me to get a perm. It was the perfect perm for me actually! It was a mixture of tight and loose curls throughout my hair. It looked, cute, elegant, sophisticated, and fun! I Loved it. It grew out, but it helped me get a little bit of wave when it's long, and when it's short (about shoulder length) it naturally flips out. Guess what? I love it! It's so nice when I blow dry my hair on a tight time limit getting ready for work or simply on lazy days where I'm simply not in the mood to do anything to it, that I can put my fingers through it, make the layers in my hair loose, and with my "regular brush" I help it flip out more than it does. I still get some that randomly curl inward which bugs me. It has to go either one way or the other. but anyways, it's done in like 5 minutes! SWEET! Moving on getting to the story for today.

So  my mom and I got introduced to this program called Dressing Your Truth-by Carol Tuttle. Look it up for more info. it's really interesting. Anyways. She has these four different types of nature. Air(type 1), water(type 2), fire(type 3) and solid(type 4). And I'm a dominant type 1 movement. Which is light high movement. Always happy type person. You get the picture. Basically the person that lights up the entire room. with the Type 4 secondary. Which is the opposite movement of type 1 and with that I'm more introverted than what type 1 is to be described. Which is quite interesting and funny. But it's part of who I am, with a balance of the other 2 types.

Now back to the story, so as a type 1 I am light and animated, fun and cute. I wear bright and fun make up with my ugly uniform that I wear everyday. Which is a dark burgandy, with black scrub pants. I am a housekeeper at a hospital. So I have to do something to help me feel like I'm me! I don't care if it matches because, that's really not what I'm going after. If I really tried to match, honestly I would not look very pretty! :P So today, I wanted to mimick a hair do I did on memorial day this year, and boy was it CUTE! I Loved it I felt like me, I got compliments left and right with my family. It was awesome! And it fell into disaster for me today! It curled too much too soft, no random or upward light movement. all the curls were shaping my face with a smooth type 2 movement not that fun, flirty, light, high movement to help me look animated and fun.(me!) So I put it up in bobby pins and it looked even more like type 2. I was freaking out! I didn't have time to fix it, so I put on my make up and went out the door. I went to work with type 1 make up on with type 2 hair. Oh my gosh! I felt like I was arguing with myself the first 5 hours of my shift. I felt like I was getting nothing done. And most of all I felt like my mom. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY MOM VERY MUCH! You hear?! Don't take this wrongly. If you do Dressing Your Truth you might understand. But I felt like my mom. I felt soft subtle, flowing with the movement work was going which was slow! And taking my time(which I usually do but, usually with my own movement, that is a different story), for me I felt lazy, and just a lot of conflict going on in my head. I finally got tired of it and put my hair up. It looked messy, poofy, random and cute when I put it up with a rubber band. It was all that was found at the nurses station. I didn't care, I just needed it up good and fast! I was going psycho! As I went on through out the day, I was almost done and I thought to myself. Holy Cow! That was evidence that I am not a type 2. I am definitely a Type 1. I seriously felt like my mom who is a Type 2! I almost felt like I was going to cry because, of the whole conflict it was basically making me sick.
Sometimes you get into trouble doing experiments with your hair.

 Here's what else was going through my head at this point. I need to tell my mom, she would get a hoot from this. Of course, I told her. And she laughed her head off even told my dad who is also supporting her through this program. I'm still laughing my head off. And still going crazy with my hair now down. I want to wash it. I just wanted to take care of this first because, I seriously couldn't wait. So I hope you had a laugh as much as My mom and I did. Make it a great and wonderful day and weekend. See you next time. :D

I'm officially a "Love BYRD"!! :D

 Jordan and I finally got married December 14, 2012. We are very excited and ecstatic to be sealed in the temple on our 1 year anniversary. It was a beautiful and wonderful day. We had a glorious time spending it with each other and celebrating our marriage with friends and family! Thank you to all those that were able to celebrate our wedding day with us! :D I put up some pictures from our wedding day. We are at last Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Byrd. Also known as the "Love Byrds!" ;) 

 Jordan and I posing for our first pictures as husband and wife. It actually was a beautiful day even with a little bit of rain that came down. It was beautiful. :D I Loved my bouquet everything turned out simply amazing and turned out right and perfect for our wedding day. We also took some pictures before we even got ready for the wedding as kind of a "Before" and "After" sort of deal you'll see some of my favorites as you scroll down.

 My Handsome Husband before he saw me for the first time.

 "You may kiss the Bride" Our first kiss as Husband and Wife! :D

 Cutting the cake. I'll tell you more about it on another picture of our cake. :D

 My husband's first reaction when I came out of the room I was getting ready in.

 This is our Beautiful and wonderful cake that his oldest brother worked for hours before the wedding day on this cake. He said it was his last cake and was going to come out with a bang! And I'd say he did! :D He got some of the flowers from where I ordered the flowers for the bouquet, Boutonniere, and corsages. I got so many compliments on my cake and was very happy to be able to share the compliments to "the chef." Having my bouquet right next to it made it such a compliment to the cake that I couldn't take it off. It just suited so nicely where it was. I didn't have to worry about it wrinkling during the commencement of the reception. 

 My poor youngest sister got sick again with the flu bug during the reception that my mom had to take her home early, she was very sad that she missed the bouquet toss. My mom was able to give me a good luck hug and kiss before she left.

 My favorite picture of our rings with the purple sparkly Poinsettias.

 The next couple pictures are before our wedding we took them by the railroad tracks close to where I live. It was beautiful, cold and fun! :D

 Our first dance "Just as Kiss" by: Lady Antebellum

 My cute adorable sisters were my ring barriers. My Mother in Law made the ring pillows and the ribbon girls baskets which turned out very cute as well. :D I loved every detail.

 Final prep before going out to the ceremony.

 Daddy/Daughter dance. "Butterfly Kisses" by: Bob Carlisle I started crying when the song started. It's been my dream Daddy/Daughter dance since I was 16 years old. I guess you can say it's mine and my dad's song. We've always enjoyed it since I was a teenager maybe even before then.

 Very first picture as husband and wife.

 My mom and dad have a picture similar to this one from their wedding pictures, and I wanted to continue that tradition.

 Since my brother is on his mission we wanted to let him know that we were thinking of him on our special day. My dad grabbed a piece of paper and a marker for my mom to write his name down.

 Haha! This was caught at the perfect moment. I love it! So Jordan was taught how to untie my ring off the pillow before the wedding for about an hour or so(maybe exaggerating but not sure it's just what I heard;) and my lesson was just a couple seconds before and after the pillow was made, and helped my husband with getting my ring off the pillow. You know how they say a picture explains a thousand words? Well, this is one of them that could pull that off. ;)

 So our cake wasn't gluten free so Jordan couldn't have a bite, so he let me get his piece of cake all over his face.

I know it was kind of a jumble and the pictures were all over the place, from through out the day, but I hope you had some fun seeing the pictures. It was a wonderful day, we both enjoyed ourselves and had fun every minute of it. Our married life has been a wonderful journey so far. And look forward to future adventures as we get closer to meeting our educational goals, as well as our spiritual goals as we go through out our marriage, one day at a time. Enjoying each others company and getting to know each other on a deeper friendship level called Marriage. ;)

Elder Collin Robinson in the MTC

Well, Collin is now set apart and entered the MTC September 26, 2012. Yes, a week! It's actually gone by so fast for me cause, of work and other things that have been going on. Elder Robinson sent us his first letter in the MTC last Friday, and it was funny! He mentioned that he was there not even a day and everybody was warning him of the Chocolate milk and Orange Juice(Shorty was even warning him about them) someone in his district named Elder Call is a distant relative namely related to Anson Bowen Call. Which is our great great grandfather. He was really good friends with Joseph Smith. Moved to the west with Brigham Young, and when Polygamy became illegal, the Call family moved down to Mexico. His companion(not sure of his name, I couldn't read his name for the life of me! :P) is senior companion and District leader and is in the field as of this week I believe.

Anyways here's some pictures at the temple that my mom took just before we dropped him off. We went to Brick Oven for Lunch with my Grandpa and Grandma Bourne. It was a lot of fun! :D

 Collin on the Morning of entering the MTC.

 At Brick Oven

 Collin with Grandma and Grandpa Bourne.

 As we were walking to the temple, this guy asks my brother. "Hey! Where are you going?" Collin: "To the temple." Everyone: " No, on your mission." Collin: "Oh! Spokane Washington."
