My name is Stacy, and you'll probably get a good sense of the type of person I am just by reading my posts. "Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about." — Marilyn Monroe

Living In Texas

I left Texas on August 2nd, 2010. It was so beautiful, and quite the experience away from home. I lived with my brother for about three and a half months. I missed Michigan almost everyday, but being with my brother was a lot of fun. I felt that it had bettered our relationship and brought us closer. One thing we definitely have in common is fishing! It was great. We had many different lakes and rivers we fished in but my favorite was this one. 
We never really caught much, well. The only thing you could say that we caught were tans, burns, and insect bites. I am glad I am home, Because I know that being there had taught me that it really would be hard to move away from my parents, and friends. I only knew my brother and being as shy as I am. It was hard getting to know, and doing things with his friends. That is why I mostly liked it when it was my brother and I, and the fish. Ha Ha
 
When we would fish, we would have mini little BBQues:

I really miss being there. I hope I can go back to live there again, I would do anything to relive the moments I spent down there. It was hard to be away from everyone, but it was definitely the time I loved most.

    Thanks for coming by to visit, Stacy - what a thoughtful comment!

    Couple of observations - I'm with you, long hair is what makes me happiest on myself (at least for now...I know as I get older that probably ought to change) - but, I too, have cut it off in the past and it grows SO SLOW. My kids like it long too, so I doubt I'll be doing any cutting for a long time. (It's currently about as long as it will ever get on me...)

    I spent a week in Texas when visiting a boyfriend and his family who lived there. I couldn't get over how "flat" it was compared to Oregon - but special in its own right. Your brother seems like a great guy to experience it with - all of that camping equipment nearly had me drooling. =)

    Finally, your post about doing it differently - beautiful writing! I imagine that someday (not to mention NOW!) you will have quite an impact on people (and maybe even animals if you pursue that route!) Those in the cosmetology business have such an opportunity to listen and share their hearts with their clients - and to think your own story could perhaps help steer others to living out their own dreams despite the peer pressure or difficult times. School can be SO HARD - both from my own perspective and experience, my observations as a teacher - and concerns for my own kids.

    Based on that gorgeous updo - I can see you have lots of talent - keep pursuing that dream!

    Your doing great. But PLEASE don't go back for awhile. I missed you SOOOOOOOO much when you were gone. I know we all grow up and move away and go our separate ways but you should stay a bit longer. We have not finished our adventures. They are just beginning. :)
