a change of hair.

I finally did it.  I've only cut my hair one time before this - in 2005.  Other than that, I've had the exact same hair for all my life.  After 2 kids and finally feeling like a real grown up, I decided I wanted a change - a change of hair, that is.  So I called the one - the only one - I would trust w/ this great feat.... Julie at Metropolis.  I knew that Julie was expecting, so back in March - I emailed her and asked when she planned on going on maternity leave.  I wanted to wait til the last minute to do this because of a few reasons.  1. When I'm not feeling that great about my weight, I like to hide behind long hair.  I still have 6 pounds of baby weight to lose, but I waited as long as I could.  2. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a spontaneous decision.  It's taken me a LONG time to grow my hair out this long and I didn't want to have regrets. 3. Lastly, I'm donating to Locks of Love. So I wanted to try to give them at least 12 inches instead of the minimum of 10 - so I needed as much time as possible to grow it out.   So June 9 was the day scheduled and here we are. 

So here are the "before" pictures..... 

  

 I told her I wanted 12 full inches cut off!  YAY!!!

 All chopped off!  Thanks Julie!!

So off to Locks of Love they go!

 AFTER:   

My ipod doesn't take the best quality pictures.... more to come!

I LOVE it and it feels so light on my neck... I may actually start fixing my hair more often!!! 

WOOHOO!
