This is why boredom is sometimes dangerous

So this Saturday (yesterday) me and two of my roommates were really bored. We had been doing homework all day and we were just tired of doing school. So we decided to wander around campus at 9:00 at night. We ended up in the MC sitting in some chairs and talking. We were discussing what we could do and then it hit me...we could dye our hair!

We called our friend Tanner and told him our plan and he was more than willing to take us to the store and watch us color our hair. So we went to his sister's house and stole her car. We found this book in the backseat...

Then, we bought red hair dye and headed back to our apartment. My one roommate is a cosmetologist so she said that we should bleach our hair first. Why the heck not?! So we bleached our hair

Step 1: Mix the bleach and apply with a brush

So this is a little taste of what I would look like if I went blonde
Then we mixed the red dye. It was soooo red. It looked so intense I was way too afraid to put it on the whole strand like we had planned. But we had bough the dye so I decided to just do the tips. I let Taylor do the beach but I did the red so that if it wen t really bad I had no one to blame but myself.

Here it is with the red tips. They kinda look pink but that's ok haha
I was a little shocked at the result and I am definitely relieved that I did not do the whole the thing this color. It scared Paige and Taylor enough that they wimped out and did the littlest amount possible and then washed it right out. Here is what it looks like with my hair being normal

I know its not the best picture but you can see that its really not too bad.

So this was a fun adventure and I'm really glad that I already had my job interview for Badger Creek:) Gotta love Saturday nights

Little Miracles

So it is no secret that I do not like math. It's not that I'm not good at it, its that is frustrates me and I have no interest in doing it. So I was pretty bummed that I had to take a math up here at college. However, since I had taken a higher math than what the university requires I was eligible for the test out option. I could be done with the course as fast or as slow as I wanted. I made a goal to have this class done by the end of the month (January). The first two parts of the test were pretty simple and relatively low stress. Then I got to the last test. I have not been that stressed about a test in so long. I had to pass it with a 60% or all my effort was down the tubes and I would have to the real math class. So I did the lessons in the book and on the powerpoints and started the test of 25 questions. I decided that I would go through and do what I knew for sure first and then go back to the questions I skipped. I ended up skipping 11 questions. I tried to work them out and the answers were not right. I spent 45 minutes on those questions and then my time was about to run out. So I said a prayer. I told Heavenly Father what the situation was and how important this test was and what I needed to get to pass. I closed my prayer and hit submit. I have never been so happy to see a 60% in all my life. I know that Heavenly Father heard my prayer and knew that I had tried my best and blessed me with a passing grade.

I know that this sounds silly but it is a testimony to me that Heavenly Father knows where I am and what I am doing. He is there to lead me through m trials. He cares about what happens to me and will not let me fail when I am doing all I can to honor and serve Him. It is a miracle that I passed that test and I know that everyday little miracles are happening in other areas of my life as well. Never doubt how important you are to Christ and Heavenly Father. They both love you and me so much and want nothing more than for us to turn to them and be lifted and guided.
