New Haircut!

I decided it was time for a short "mom haircut" again. My sister-in-law Marianne works at a bank and also cuts hair in her basement, so on Sunday night when I heard her saying she had the next day off (MLK Day), I just decided to go for it.
Marianne was kind enough to take these before-and-after pictures so I could blog it. At the time she had another client there who didn't get why I would bother with the pictures, until she saw how much we cut off.

Mike knows that I get a little emotional about haircuts, even if I got exactly what I asked for (I usually cry and talk about growing it out again). When he walked in the door after work that day, he immediately came over and gave me a compliment and a hug, probably anticipating that I would burst into tears. I was mostly fine and didn't cry, but what a good husband, don't you think?

And here it is after I styled it myself the next day.

It is really cute! Rob is always worried when I get my hair cut because lots of times I don't like it right when I get home.

I am always wanting to chop mine..I think it is so fun. Lately, i have tried to keep it long just cuz i am nearing the age where you have to have short hair..i think if i keep it long, it will stay young..i will let you know if it works :)
