Framing This Moment

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Rena Anne

My husband just finished a “Quest for Authentic Manhood” class at our church and we attended his graduation. I looked over and saw him holding our youngest son and was filled with gratefulness that I get to spend the rest of my life with this man. He is an excellent father (goodness knows what our children would be like if it was just up to me to discipline them) and I love seeing him grow in his leadership role in our family.

And check out my post about hosting a clothing exchange over at Life As Mom where I’m a monthly contributor.

Two Races In Two Days

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Rena Anne

This past weekend I ran two races.

First was the “Run or Dye 5k”. To call this a race is laughable, since we stopped in the middle of the race to lay down and take pictures. Ha!

We were covered in chalk before we even started running.

run 1

As you “ran”, there were dye stations that you would run through and they would throw handfuls of chalk on you.

run 2

It was super fun, but I am a little afraid my armpits are now going to be permanently dyed pink.

I ran the Carlsbad 5000, also a 5k, with my friend Irene.

I honestly thought at one point in my race that I was going to pass out, but I was able to finish it in about 33 minutes, which is a time I am super proud of!

run 3

Don’t know if I’ll ever do TWO races in one weekend again, but I had a great time and will be taking it easy this week.

Hair-spiration

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Rena Anne

I love change. Not when it comes to people, such as friends moving away, but I am a big fan of moving furniture around, trying new restaurants and changing my hairstyle.

As long as it keeps things fresh and interesting.

I love to take risks with my hair and make statements, therefore I have this itching feeling to chop it or perm it.

Ruh roh.

Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately:

Hair 1

1-5- I love short, choppy bobs, but I think my husband would have a heart attack if I lobbed my hair off. Plus, long is so much easier to style (Can you tell this has been a continual argument in my head for a while now? Blerg.)

6-I love ANYTHING and everything that Rachel McAdams does. She’s so gosh darn pretty. If only my hair were naturally wavier…

hair 2

7 & 8-I love the longer layers of Carrie & Rachel’s do’s. Plus I would be able to pull my hair into a ponytail.

9-I’ve never really thought Jessica Biel was that pretty until I saw this picture (plus, she stole JT, so I don’t know if I can ever forgive her), but I LOVE the ombre color she’s rocking and the beachy, long layers with thick bangs (I’m not ready to give mine up).

10 & 11- I love these medium length cuts, especially #11’s waves.

And “The Carrie Diaries” has me wanting to perm my hair so badly. I mean, who wouldn’t want these Goldilock-can’t-keep-your-fingers-out-of-my-hair curls?! So, so, so pretty.
