So my friend is getting married tomorrow. She had a hen's night on Monday night which unfortunately I couldn't stick around for the whole evening (Tuesday's essay not being done and all). But in my experience of hen's night, what happened tonight was the most enjoyable hen's night I've been to - and it wasn't a hen's night at all!!

My friend and I met up after I got my hair chopped and went to her parents house. Later we were joined by our group of girlfriends. Eight of us from an old bible study group. We hung out, ate Thai food and talked. Talked about marriage, children and a whole heap of things including contraception and the ethical implications of various products. I was greatly encouraged by how thought through some of the girls (I should say women, but that would make me feel old) were about what method they should use.
It was like old times. Hanging out, having fun. But new. New conversation topics.

It was great and brought much joy to my heart.
tinged with some concern and sadness regarding where some of my friends stand with the Lord.

This morning I got news that BDAG has arrived! Joy oh joy. Jedi Master ordered it for me a few weeks ago and I have been waiting with anxious expectation ;)
Although I am slightly disturbed about how much its arrival has excited me. I can't wait to get back into town later in the weekend and pick it up.


A good friend of mine is getting married tomorrow. I have decided to splurge and get my hair cut. I decided that I couldn't justify paying for a cut and colour, so I dyed it myself yesterday morning. It is this rad dark blacky violet colour. And I am getting it cut and styled at the hairdressers this arvo. It has been over 3 years since I have paid for a visit to the hairdressers.

I have spent the morning praying that if I'm going to spend $55 getting my hair cut, I do hope that I get to have some quality conversations......
(and that they do a good job as I am always slightly nervous about letting them near me with scissors - hence why I have been cutting my own hair for years)
