After nearly a decade...it was time for a change!

SO I CHOPPED IT OFF. YES. I was at Natalie's the other night, ready to get my hair done...and she said, "What do you want to do...the roots, and then a trim? Or do you want to cut it?" When I replied, "Let's just chop it off," she about had a heart attack. "Are you freaking kidding ME???" She said... I said "Nah, let's just do it. I've had my hair long since freshman year of college...it's time for a change."

She quickly did an initial "chop off" before I could change my mind (and to use less color, let's be honest...) I don't think it's been THIS short since I was....14? Yes. That is actually 14 years ago. I figure though, it'll grow if I want it long again...I have plenty of years ahead of me (well, less and less...I AM almost 30!! I think this is my mid-life crisis hair cut!)

And just for the record, I TOTALLY didn't cut it because of "New Mommy Syndrome." She isn't pulling my hair too much or anything. I just needed the change.

OK fine, who am I kidding??? It's like nesting. We all go through it. We all chop the hair off after the first kid. I'm so cliche. It's sad. But oh well. I guess I'll be cliche for now...and spend less time doing my hair.

I love your hair! You are so brave. I have had long hair since I was in highschool and I need a change, but I am to scared to do it. Good job!

Steven and Kimberly said...

You look great! It's a big change, I just did it a few months ago, and though I love it, I miss the long hair and how easy it was just to pull back and go. So much fun! The question is, what did your hubby think?
