time for a beauty check-up!

it's time for me to break out the self-tanning lotion and hair straightener. time to find my perfume and re-discover how to neatly and corretly apply make-up. time to pluck my eyebrows and begin using my crest white strips. time to do laundry and paint my toenails. time to start eating healthy and toning to lose that last five pounds. time for a haircut and color touch-up! time to begin at-home facials and masks, actually break out a razor, and keep up with my appearance. because ....

KEATON IS COMING TO OKLAHOMA!! he'll be here over his spring break, the first week of march. i am so excited! i can't WAIT!!

so now i am rushing trying to make sure i look presentable!! not that he really cares that much ... he just likes being together. i know a lot of guys say appearance doesn't matter to them, but deep down, they really do care a lot about it. not that i blame them, it's their nature. but that is one thing i totally admire and respect about keaton jack mitts zerby. appearance NEVER changes the way he thinks of me. he has seen me at my WORST moments ... and yet he still loves me.

he's seen me when i was sick with some crazy virus that caused me to have crazy hallucinations and say weird things and look wild-eyed and crazy ..... and he still loves me.

he's seen me when i had amnesia and remembered only a little music and hardly any people or places ..... and he still loves me.

he's seen me when i've had cramps and nausea beore my period ..... and he still loves me.

he's seen me throw up and be sick and lay moaning miserably, unable to keep any food down ..... and he still loves me ... he even held my hair for me and wiped my forehead with a damp cloth!!!

he's seen me when i've overslept and answer the door in my pj's with my hair all dishelved, no make-up or contacts, and looking very unaware of my surroundings ..... and he still loves me.

he's seen when i wake up after a night terror and am hysterical and unable to recover control of myself ..... and he still loves me.

he's seen when i'm pouting or angry or upset ..... and he still loves me.

if he can still love me after all these things ... i know appearance is not what is most important to my love. i adore how keaton loves me. it's such a picture of Christ's love. no matter what, i receive the love unconditionally.

keaton has seen me in some of my worst stages ever, but for some reason, he's still around. he always make me feel beautiful, whether i'm in sweat pants and a t-shirt or a ballroom gown with my hair all done up. no matter what i'm wearing, or how my hair is fixed (or maybe not fixed at all) or what amount of make-up i have on, keaton still looks at me like i'm the most beautiful woman in the world. because i know to him, i truly am.

even though keaton loves me unconditionally and does not care if i am dressed up or down, i still enjoy looking my best for him. i know he will love me and stay with me no matter what, but i like taking the time to make myself look good when i know i will be with him. it's just a little way to show him respect. i respect his love so much, i want to take extra time to take care of myself and make sure i look good for him, whether he cares or not.

i don't usually take the time to look great with keaton living in florida and me living here. heck, i don't even usually shave my legs!! (eww, i know it's gross) but since my baby is coming home, i can't wait to start looking good again!!
