Right after this photo, I trimmed Beaux's hair by myself. Just the face. He looks better, and luckily, I did not botch it up! YAY!
Until next time...

This is the real life story of a girl who became a wife and mother and who is trying to seize everyday living under God's grace and by embracing this verse... "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

Letter to my sixteen year old self
Wes and I flew to Arizona to visit his mom and family over the Christmas break. That gave me lots of time to read the SPIRIT magazine Southwest Airlines publishes. I came across a series of letters written by famous people to their sixteen year old-selves. I think it said that these letters were or were going to be compiled into a book. Either way, I loved the letters and thought what a cool concept.
I would love it if all 2 of my blog readers wrote letters to themselves and posted a link to it here on my blog.
Here is my letter.
Dear Brooke,
Take a deep breath and calm down. I know you are all caught up in, well, everything. It is okay not to be perfect and the fact that you didn't stay on the phone with your friend all night last night doesn't mean she doesn't like you. She was just tired.
You are a hard worker and having a job right now, even though most of your friends don't, is going to get you things in the future way before any of your peers. It is okay to have more than one best friend, and it is okay if they don't like to do the same things as one another. They are friends with you, not necessarily with each other. Take time for as many friends as possible. Share your time with all them. Work hard at this.
Be nicer to the boys your age. They think you are cute and would like to ask you out. But, you make fun of the ones you like too much. Sometimes, you talk to loud. Just be yourself, they like you. When the guy you love (you know who) breaks up with you over the phone 5 minutes before he is suppose to pick you up for a date, cry about it at home. But when your friends come to pick you up, have fun with them. He is not worth it now; nor in 2 years when you try to date him again.
Be nicer to your sisters. Wait on them after school. These two people know your deepest, darkest secrets. They love you. You love them. Show them some respect.
Have fun. Oh, I know you will. But please, don't listen to that advice everyone seems to write in your annual about how you are so fun so never change. Always, change. It is the only way to improve YOU!
Much love,
Me
