Why don't you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum. --P. G. Wodehouse

Gavin's hair was beginning to make him look like an orphan. He refused to let Mom cut it so we took him into a stylist. Here is the before:


And here is the after:


Haha and they paid for that:) Haha.

A more successful second session...

Karen Windisch took our pictures this time and came prepared with poses for us. She told us exactly what to do, and we were out of there in no time. Fabulous. I love these pictures. And I love that stunning young man that's beside me in all of them. Love love love him :)






And of course the first thing my sister would do when she got ahold of the pictures was this:



Go Figure.

Speechless.

View from part of the land the Roylances own. BEAUTIFUL. I am in love.

Possibly too goofy for our own good...

The other day Martin and I attempted to take engagement pictures, but for some reason we couldn't be serious enough to get anything that will actually work. Haha Bailey just needed to crack the whip a little harder and make us pose for real. Oh well. We'll just have to go out again... or use these ones :)

I'd rather help pack than get beat up by beans...

Looks picturesque doesn't it? Yeah well don't be fooled.

I'd actually really like to stomp all over these dumb plants. But I'm not going to because it would only make my life miserable.

SO. Two Thursdays ago I got a call from the old pea field boss. We got done with the pea field in mid August, but there are some bean fields that still havent been harvested. So my boss Jeff asked me if I would like to come work in the bean fields for a few days. I hadn't gotten a new job yet so I figured hey, why not? I could use some money. So I told him I would and went out the next morning to the blessed bean field. Well it turns out the bean field is actually not blessed at all. It's actually the opposite. Turns out I am allergic to bean plants... and when you spend a whole week walking in them, pulling them out with your arms down in the midst of them, and sitting down surrounded by them, you get millions of hives all up and down your arms and legs. I thought they would go away after two days off but no. They're still here and they still itch like crazy. And no, I can't wear long sleeves and pants because it is actually still really hot out in the middle of the day and I would probably have a heat stroke. So, consequently I am going to show up to work on Monday and explain to my boss that it's not healthy for me to work out there, show him my disgusting arms and legs, and then quit. But you know what? That's okay with me because not only did I have an allergic reaction, but I was working out there ALONE. No crew. Just me. And after 5 days of having no one to talk to and doing monotaneous, boring bean field stuff I'm ready to call it quits. It is definitely not the job for me. Not the highest picture quality but this gives you a little taste of what both of my entire legs and arms look like right now. Notice the short line? Haha.

So, now I get to stay home for a few days while I work on getting a different job, and help pack the house. Mom and Dad decided it was time to leave the noisy high way in our backyard and let someone else have it while we went and lived on the lake. Can you say heck yes?? Haha It's about time! So this is what I get to spend the rest of the month looking at, making more of, and moving....

Kyndra on a normal day...
