Self control, you gotta use a little self control!

It hasn't even been a full week and I'm posting again. amazing! I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm also proud of myself for learning to say no. There are so many things that I want to buy or do or eat, or WHATEVER that just aren't necessary. I have learned to ask myself, "do we really need that?" Most of the time the answer is no. When that is the answer, I set the item down and walk away. This is part of our attempt to save money and also be healthy. Like when we were at Maceys tonight and the peanut butter bars were looking and sounding SO GOOD, we thought about it for a second and said, "no, we do not need these," set the peanut butter bars down, and walked away. And we survived. This whole self control thing has been so good for me!! We have been so blessed that when we come across anything that we want, we have been able to do that. My wonderful job that I love has been able to provide for us plus some. We are a very lucky Mormon newlywed couple that lives in a really nice place and doesn't have to eat top ramen every meal. And we even save money. Lucky lucky us! We really feel so blessed! But I know that things wont' always be this way and when we move to grad school, we might not be as lucky. Even if we always were this blessed, I still am glad to learn self control. It's just a good thing to have! So even if something is on sale, it's not a bargain if we don't need it! Great words of wisdom.

On a side note, I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. Well, more of a trim since I want to grow it out really. I am thinking of getting some wispy side bangs and more layers... Any thoughts? I haven't had my hair professionally cut for a long time now... I just usually cut it myself. So I'm kinda excited to have it professionally done, but nervous at the same time because if it's awful, I can't blame myself. Wish me luck! I'll have to post pictures after it is cut tomorrow.
