I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Hailey's New Haircut!

When Grandma & Grandpa Mackley were up here in January Hailey got a hold of the scissors and chopped a huge chunk of her hair off. We were going to wait until March to have Aunt Lisa fix it, but I couldn't wait! It was impossible to do her hair! Everyday she would get cereal or yogurt or something else equally sticky in it and when it came time to comb it, it was a nightmare. She would scream her head off, and I wasn't about to wash her hair three or four times a day. So against Anthony's wishes, (sorry honey) I cut it myself! I think it looks cute! We'll just have to have Aunt Lisa even it up, if she will! After I cut it Hailey said, 'ohh, I look like a princess!' I think she does too!
