It's like a day at the beach

Because it was a day at the beach!

It's no secret to those who read my blog that I like warm days in the middle of October. I believe I really drove that point home in my last post. We acted on these feelings this past Saturday by going on a journey to Zion, IL where Illinois Beach State Park is located. There we ate very tasty sandwiches, read books, and attempted to toss a frisbee like capable people.

Oh yeah, we also got our hairs cut! Hoorah! It was Aaron's first time at an official hair-cutting facility of any kind since he was a small child. He overcame his pre-cut anxieties and ended up being pleased with the results. Second hoorah! 

The lady who took care of my hair seemed really nervous for me the whole time--I gave her an exact description of how short to cut my hair and how to layer it. When I initially told her how much hair to chop, I'm pretty sure she gasped, and after every couple inches she would ask, "You sure you want it cut more?" After a few times of her asking this I finally just gave in, without really getting what I hoped for, for her own sake. Le sigh.


And, hey! I'm hosting my small group at our apartment next week! Excellent.
