Ben, I just want you to know how much I love you and that you are my best friend, comfort, and strength. I am looking forward to many years of celebrating our anniversary and to all of the other joys that life has to offer. You are my eternal companion and I couldn't ask for more! Love you:)
Now that I am done sounding like a Hallmark card, here are some fun pictures from our wedding!
Now for the 2nd part of my post...16 years since...I CUT MY HAIR!!! I know, this is a big and dramatic change for me, considering I haven't cut my hair since I was 10!!!
I don't know if many of you mothers have had a similar experience, but giving birth did quite a number on my hair (ie: hair falling out in handfuls on my pillow, in the shower, etc., and an emerging frizzy/coarse texture) and it hasn't been the same since. Also, between Logan pulling on it constantly, stray hairs wrapping around his little body parts, and wearing it pulled back in a not so cute bun/blob thing 6 out of 7 days a week...I decided I was so over having long hair!!!
So, last Saturday, I went to the salon and said, "chop it!" and that is exactly what she did! I donated my ~12 inches of hair to "Locks of Love" and honestly, I did not and have not shed one tear since the day of my chopping! I actually, am really enjoying my new do even though I don't think that it looks all that great, but boy does is feel great!!!
Here are the before and after shots. Please be forgiving because I still do not have a clue on how to do short hair!!!
Before (hideous, I know. Why didn't anyone tell me?)
After (much better, but definitely needs some work)
Here we are just about to go out to dinner for our anniversary and that round brush technique that the hair stylist taught me takes way too much coordination! So, my hair is looking a little flat, but I am still learning:)
