Finally, some FUN news to report! Kecia has been waiting for her hair to be three inches long so she could get extensions. She has gone in to this little shop in Dallas 3 times now, asking if it could be done. Each time the girls would sadly say that it just wasn't long enough yet. Finally, she went in yesterday and they told her to get in the chair cause she was gettin hair! It took 2 girls about 8 hours to do her whole head. She was hurting pretty bad from sitting all day but she pushed through it to get her hair. She was so tired by the time they finished that she had to go home without getting it cut and styled. They told her to come in on Tuesday and they would "do her do." When she was ready to pay they two girls suprised her by saying that it was on the house and all Kecia had to pay for was the actual hair itself. She says it will take some getting used to, not only because her head hasn't felt so heavy in a long time, but also because she can feel all the tiny bumps near her scalp where the extensions are attached. She assures me that she can learn to love it since it gives her a small bit of her physical self back. I would love to say that I will send pictures soon, but you would probably all call me on the fact that I have yet to do that once. Anyway, on to the REALLY GOOD NEWS.
Kecia is getting baptized tomorrow! My oldest daughter has been talking with our pastor about getting baptized and a few weeks ago they set the date for July 12th. Kecia said she would like to do it at the same time as Kendall. Kecia has been a Christian for many years, but has never taken that public step before so we are doubley proud. (I don't think "doubley" is even a word but you know what I mean) Stay tuned for more great news..
