Belly Shots

Who are you?

On Monday, January 23rd, I will know who is currently occupying my belly! I cannot wait! I have honestly enjoyed not knowing. What a fun secret! I have had fun daydreaming and imaging, but now it is time to put a "face" to my dreams. It will also make it so much easier for my name hunting! And shopping, of course :)

Stay tuned to find out if baby Guthrie is a "he" or "she"!

BABY

An Everlasting LOVE

There are not many days in my life that have truly marked me. In fact, I can only think of two. One of those days is my wedding day. I remember everything about that day so vividly; the smell of the perfume I wore, the way me dress swished when I walked, and the way it felt to hold the hands of my new husband at the alter. I was excited and hopeful on that day, knowing that my life was about to change. Nothing, though, could have prepared me for the wonderful life that would follow. After the cake was gone, the last present had been opened, and my dress was carefully stowed away, THAT was when my adventure began. The high of that day in white may have dissipated, but I was left with a man that would love me and walk with me through the rest of my life. I thank God for the gift of marriage. For my chance to love and be loved. I wake in the morning knowing that my husband will be by my side. Flowers may wilt, and memories may fade, but I have been given something precious that by the grace of God will never be spoiled. I pray that I never take this gift for granted.



He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. Proverbs 18:22

Yadda, Yadda

After months of not having a laptop (thank you, Diggy, for chewing through my power cord), I am back. Although I don't have anything too exciting to say, I suppose a few updates are in order. First off, Will and I recently moved to a new place. We are finally living the Baltimore life, rowhome-style. Rowhomes were foreign to me before I moved to Baltimore. They are as the name suggests...homes..in a row. Ours is adorable and just the right size. Will has his own study nook (where he lives), and I FINALLY have a kitchen I can move in. For this, I am grateful. And I never thought I would say this, but I am really looking forward to cooler weather. This Baltimore humidity is so passe - I'm ready to wear my fall sweaters and make butternut squash soup :). 

Earlier this month, I headed to NYC with girls from my salon for hair classes with Unite (the company my salon works with). The education coincided with Fashion Week and exhibited styles straight from the runway. It was inspiring and rekindled my love for runway fashion. I hope that Unite will open doors for future participation in Fashion Week - so exciting :). I had a blast with the girls from the salon, and I was lucky enough the run the streets of Soho with Camille. I love my sis :). 

My brilliant dentist husband is, of course, doing well in school. He passed his boards (with flying colors I might add :), and he will hopefully be whitening my teeth before long (that is why he started all of this, right?).

All and all, it has been a great start to the fall season. I am busy at work, I love my clients, and I am excited to see what God has in store for our little family this coming season!  

What $2 can get you....

When you're shopping with Will.....$165 worth of loot right there :)

What God Is Teaching Me About Beauty

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes, instead it should be that of the inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful." 1 Peter 3:1-5

Working in the beauty industry has encouraged my love of fashion and all things beauty oriented. I adore making women feel beautiful. I am reminded of why I chose this job when a client tears up at the sight of her own face in the mirror, feeling beautiful for the first time. Throughout this journey as a new hairstylist, or really just as a woman, I am sometimes baffled by the lengths that (some of) us women take to look beautiful. And whether we really admit to this, we all want to look or feel beautiful. Through my study of 1 Peter, God has reminded me of a very important verse for us women. It tells us that God finds great worth in the sight of our inner beauty - a gentle and quiet spirit. I have to admit that being gentle and quiet isn't something that comes naturally to me. Sometimes I can be more worried about my physical beauty than my inner beauty. Even if I am all dressed up, if I'm snippy to my husband or rude to a co-worker, than my outward beauty means nothing; and God is not impressed. Let's become beautiful, women. Not with our outward beauty, but with gentle and quiet spirits. This is truly beautiful.

Catching Up

March-

Hubby and I took a vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican republic. The beaches were STUNNING, the food was good, and the weather was perfect. Thank you Jesus for the carribean! :) We really appreciated the time together to relax and enjoy each others company. Will didn't touch his work ONCE. For this I was thankful.

April-

My sister, Camille, came for an extended visit (take note that there are now three sisters in the Guthrie home). We are having so much fun being together and Will and I are always happy to open up our home to those we love. After all, isn't that what our home is for?

May-

Will is in the final countdown for school. He has been studying non-stop and I am proud to say that he is doing very well. I married such a brilliant man :).

Work has been going well for me and I am excited to announce my salon's hair show this Saturday (May 15th). "The ME" fashion show will include 14 models (two of which are my sisters), and we will be styling their hair for this event. Previously this month we had the models come in for a photo shoot. Here is a sneak peak of the hair I did on Michelle-
