Jeff’s new friend:

We started to work on registering the other day. Mainly because we were in one of the stores we were planning to register at and had some time to kill. Guess what Jeff’s favorite part is?
We’re narrowing down some bigger things right now. While part of me keeps saying, “There’s time, There’s time,” [...]

His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke
He had seen all to be seen
A life once full, now an empty vase
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy

I could write about wedding planning, but really right now all we’ve got is some guesses and ideas and a lot of frustration with [...]

… With my camera.
I’ve let Jeff (or other friends) treat my hair with boxed red dye a couple times over the last 2 years, but I’ve been wanting to get a pro job. Well semi-pro in this case since I went to the Lafayette Beauty Academy. My hair color is now “Chili,” which I guess [...]
