After a long time absent...some hair pictures! :-)

Hello LHCers!

It has been soooo long since my last post...I've been traveling and haven't had much time at my computer. Excuses, excuses~ I know!

My brother, sister and I went to America for a few weeks. While we were there I got to see a friend from the LHC, mommyof4! It was so exciting to finally meet each other in person...a definite high-light of my trip!

The weather was cold during the first part of our trip, so I got to wear my new boots!

Here are pictures of few quaint sights, such as~

a country road...

I also got to see my favorite kind of flowers (well, one of my favorites!)

After searching my different albums, I've found a few hair pictures. Here they are below...it seems that I wore my hair this way a lot!

My brother and I did a Tae Kwon Do demonstration while we were there~
here are a couple of hair pictures from that, too:

I'ts so good to see your pictures! Welcome back!

[PixxieStix]

Hello! I'm so glad to see that you enjoyed your trip, and how neat that you did a Taekwon-do demonstration! Love the hairstyle you wore a lot in those photographs too. That has to be one of the largest claw clips I've ever seen.

[Avital88]

oh what a great pictures, i especially like the one with mommyof4, she is such a sweetheart!

[vintage88]

Glad to see you back, lovely pictures as always! :)

[HintOfMint]

What amazing pictures! Is it bad that my favorite one is the first tae kwon do one?

[spidermom]

You certainly have been gone for a long time! I'm glad you had a great trip.

[Spring]

Love the looped pony!

[kidari]

I love all your pictures! My favorite hairdo is the one in the Tae Kwon Do pic also!

(Can you tell I'm hungry at the moment? ;) )

[joflakes]

Aww! Lovely photos. It looks like you had a lovely time! :)

[Yosha]

It's great to see you again, I always love your pictures! You two almost look like sisters with different hair. I hope you are having a wonderful time :cheese:

The pics are lovely. :)

Your hair is amazing, as always.

Glad you are back, I missed you. :grouphug:

Welcome back! And thanks for sharing the pictures. Your hair is beautiful!

[Amber_Maiden]

Lovely pictures!

[Vasilissa]

Looks like you had a good time there! Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures!

P.S.: arc691, may I ask what you were explaining to those kids on your 7th picture? Just curious, you look like a teacher there (in a good way). Oh, and your hair is simply amazing!

[AMW]

Great pictures. I especially like the updo for the Tae Kwon Do demonstration =)

[iSuperHeroic]

Your hair looks amazing in those photos!

[heidi w.]

Super neat-o! Thank you for sharing!

[PrairieRose]

Thanks for the great pictures!

[DreadfulWoman]

Glad to see you're back. I had been wondering where you'd run off to. :p

[Mommyof4]

It was SOO awesome to get to meet you!!!!

[lapushka]

Great pictures and a lovely hairdo!

[Mrspuddinhead]

Where you in Montgomery..?? Montgomery is only about 6 hours from where I grew up.

[princessp]

Ooh I love your pictures! So glad you had a nice time. :)

[Venefica]

Nice pictures. I love the bun ponytail thing you have going. And the way you wear your hair in that Tae Kwon Do demonstration picture is very cute.

[jacqueline101]

I loved your pictures.

[arc691]

Thank you so much, everybody, for all your views and comments and "welcome-backs"! :)

Hey~ thank you so much! In that picture, my sister and I were teaching a homeschool co-op geography class about Chuuk, Micronesia (that's where we live as missionaries). The map I'm holding is of the island I live on; it looks really big, but if you could see it up-close, you would notice how large the mile scale is. Our island is actually only about 8 square miles.




Where you in Montgomery..?? Montgomery is only about 6 hours from where I grew up.

We were in Prattville, about 20 minutes from Montgomery. We went over the Montgomery one day to have lunch in the country club there. That's where the picture of us all sitting around the table was taken. It was very nice!



Nice pictures. I love the bun ponytail thing you have going. And the way you wear your hair in that Tae Kwon Do demonstration picture is very cute.

Thank you! This bun-ponytail hairstyle has definitely become a go-to hairstyle for me! Maybe I can do a thread totally on it soon...

[SchnauzerMom]

Great photos! Looks like you had a great time. I love the way you styled your hair the whole time, very pretty.

[ladycaladium]

Lovely photos! I was wondering where you went off to, hadn't seen you on LHC for a while. The style in the photo where you are sitting at the table is very pretty.

[Calaelen]

Welcome back! I LOVE the style you're wearing for the tae kwon do instruction. Can you do a tutorial PLEASE PLEASE??

[Maelyssa]

Looks like you had a great time. You and mommyof4 look great. Glad your trip to America was enjoyable....thanks for sharing your pics.

[arc691]

Hi everybody!

Thanks so much for your replies. I guess this thread got away from me and I didn't see them until now.

@Calaelen, thank you for the compliment! I think I did a thread on this look before - it's from a Fox News iMag video, actually. The title was "Braid Your Hair Like a Star." Here's the link to my thread, and I included a direct link to the video:

Welcome back, and I'm glad you had a good time in the States with your brother. I always think sibling stuff is soo cool. :) As always your hair is lovely and I admire your talent!

[Safira]

I always enjoy looking your photos. And your hair was beautifully braided.

[Vercelli]

The pictures are just magical as always. Haha you are actually (like) a princess in the middle of the ocean.:magic::magic:

The mini LHC meet-up seemed to be super nice too! Both of you are very lovely and looking so happy. :blossom:
