Keep Daddy Safe

This week, after the asking of my father, I decided to go and spend a couple days with my father. Pops is living down in Bamberg, another German city, getting ready to go down range and sometimes gets lonely as he has to spend the whole week without the family. While I can't disclose too much information just know that he is leaving soon and it will be for 15 months.
So now I'm in Bamberg, after trying to find out how to get here for about 15 mins, and I must say I enjoy this base. It's quiet, not as busy as the area we live in and it actually has that feel of a small town. Maybe it's just where Pops' barracks are that give this feeling, but hey whatever.

So yeah, Pops will be leaving soon and it's sad, but who knows, Pops might get out when he gets back. *SHHH DON'T TELL HIM I SAID THAT* Anyhow, the point is that Pops will be leaving for down range soon and though this isn't our first deployment type situation with him in the military it will still be sad once again to see him go. I think it always is for anyone in this situation. For any kid really to see their Pops leave for an extended amount of time. Whether in the military or not.

Where were these offers 7 months ago?

I just got yet ANOTHER job offer today. This one would be in the USAFE HQ building which requires great amount of security clearance and knowledge. I was so honored to be offered the job but today I was actually fasting to know if going home was right for me. I wasn't feeling horrible about the decision, but when I got the email and started thinking about it I just felt so confused. I think it's the answer I've been looking for, but I'm going to keep searching and pondering about it. I don't want this to be a quick decision that would potentially be bad...

It's really easy to do, you just click on the link above, and click vote. You don't even have to read the blog. I just need to get some votes in order to win some cash. And I think we all know how I need the money for school. So if you have friends who could spare just 30 seconds to click and click that would be awesome...

Thanks for the help!

Cold Saturdays

So here's what's been going on in Sara's World...

I was offered a job back in February, so 2 months ago, but I still haven't even started in processing yet. I think it's ridiculous that it's taking this long, but apparently they're "working on it". So I've started to think about what it is that I should do; school is looking better and better. Heaven knows I would LOVE to go back to school in the states. I just need to make that decision and stick with it, find out what I want to do and finally say there is no turning back. We'll see what happens.

I'm supposed to be going to a baseball game, so I should get up and get dressed. More to come later.

Locks of Love

About a year and a half ago I heard about a charity from one of my mom's co-workers. Just randomly one day she asked me what I was going to do with my hair, asked me if there was any reason I grew it so long. I told her no, I just like the length, and I LOVE my hair. She then told me that I should cut it and donate it to a charity called Locks of Love. I was a little baffled that she would give me ideas of what to do with MY hair, but I looked into it. This charity takes hair that has been donated by many persons and it makes wigs out of it for children who suffer from Lukeimia. I was touched, but I was still nervous. I mean I always have loved my hair; I even went so far as to tell my mother that the Lord gave me my nice hair because he knew that I would need something to help me look presentible because we all know I am not big on fussing over my looks.

So I did it... Last year, about January or February I cut my hair. Now this isn't any cut, this is 10 inches AT LEAST that has to be cut. So, I sucked it up, and went for it. Walked into the sallon, said, 10 inches please and everyone freaked. Remember, this is last year, so January of 2007. I told them what it was for and they seemed to feel better about it. I don't see why, I mean it's my hair haha. So that was that. At first I was really sad, I was conciencious about the way it looked, but everyone told me it looked nice, so I trusted them.

To my surprise, my hair was back to that same length a year later. I loved it, really did, but I figured if my hair can grow more than 10 inches in a year, I should make it a yearly cut. So, I looked around, sucked it up, and went right back in to get it cut one more time. Now I know a lot of you haven't seen me for a couple years; but that's why I have pictures to show you how big of a change this was. I don't take pictures of myself usually, so finding pictures to show the difference of my hair can be tough, but hopefully you can see the transformation with the pictures I did find. My hair should be back to it's long normal length in a year, so maybe I'll have to do it again.
