So Much has happened!

It's been two years! Wow! Life is going great. I am now a middle school teacher. I was thinking of doing a blog about my life as a teacher, but I just don't have the time. I love teaching. Last year was my first year. It was a pretty easy first year of teaching. This is now my 2nd year, but because I am teaching in a slightly different position, it feels like my first year all over again. In real words: it's A LOT of work.


God has answered my prayers and I have an AMAZING boyfriend! : DDD I've actually known him for about 5 or 6 years, but we didn't start dating until last April. Oct. 13th was our 6th month anniversary. So exciting!

On our first date : )

My hair has grown!  Here's a picture so you can see for yourselves. Crazy how much it has grown. It's now reached the same length it was before I went natural. My only regret is that I have not been taking super good care of my hair. I have been scrapping by with the bare minimum and I think my hair could be longer if I took better care of it. Life get's in the way, but I have to make time.  

I just realized I need to take more pics of the fro. This one is from 1 year ago. Don't let it fool you, those bangs reached my chin.

Here is a picture of it blow dried out. This was taken in 2015. Say "Hi" to my Grammy!
If I had pressed it out, it would have been past my shoulders.

Now for the not so good update: I have yet to finish that novel. Each summer I say I will work on it and every summer I don't. I simply don't. Shame on me lol. I felt like I was not ready to write a certain part of the book because I had never been in a serious relationship or in love. Since the book is somewhat of a romance, I figured it'd be good to experience love before writing a book on it. So now that I am in love, I feel I am more equipped to finish the novel! However, with my work schedule, I don't see it happening any time soon.

I am saving for a new car so I am working 3 jobs. I'm teaching, tutoring, and cleaning a house for some extra change. All this money is going into my "New Car Fund". But the good news is I plan on getting said new car in December/January. So I only have to work super hard until Dec and then I can relax. I hope to blog more and keep you updated. Since exciting this are actually happening it should be easy. God Bless!

I Spy Curls along with a Chapter update!

Hello Hello! Above is a picture of my curl (s). Just washed with no product in it. I never realized how hard it is to take a picture of your curls. I have been transitioning for more than a year now. I can no longer do braidouts how I like them because my permed hair does not hold the curls at the end and does not curl well with a roller. I have been bunning my hair like crazy. 

But!! I am excited because this week on my wash day, I decided to define my front curls and wear them out like bangs a little bit. Did not think to take a picture but will soon. The point is My hair is growing and I am one step closer to wearing my natural hair out and about without any permed ends (they are slowly breaking off). I'm happy the breakage is slow. I like to have my hair length. But When I got my hair straightened for graduation, I realized just how much length I grew in a year. Pretty much most of the length in my grad pics is from my new growth. Most of the permed hair is breaking away (as you can see in the pic).

In other good news! I finally FINALLY updated my novel. I have had writers block because I could not decide how to tell Mysou's secret. Well the secret is out! I have 11 chapters up on my booksie account if ya'll want to check it out. Just a warning, the writing process is slow. But since I'm not busy this week and next, I'm hoping to crank out more chapters : )
