Warm weather has finally come, which I am so excited about, but so did the part of the Kosovar calendar that I forgot - celebration days. Of course, everyone wants their special day to be on a day full of sunshine, but here, they take it to the extreme. And, since they make babies like crazy, the older ones are always getting married, and new ones are always being born. There's your two big celebrations : weddings, and births. There is also a day for when little boys get circumcised, but that is normally in conjunction with a wedding. So, I have to start dressing up, and not just a little bit. Each wedding is more like getting ready for the prom. But, I laugh, because so much of my own personal style has been affected by the things I have learned here. I love make-up, besides shoes, make-up is my other 'fetish', but in America, Montana especially, it is very easy, and acceptable to get stuck in a make-up rut. But, why in the world did God create all of these beautiful colors if not to have fun with them. I have grown tired and skeptical of the 'jezebel' curse that make-up has, and have decided that the heart (duh!) is what determines that attitude. so, I can proudly say that I am a painted woman! HA! This picture didn't show it very well, but I had pink and pale green eye shadow on, with violet eye liner. And, it looked awesome. And, glittery cheeks. I would rather not have to have a bee hive on my head, but even that part of the dressing up is fun!
