It was long enough

So, this morning, after I went to the Primary activity with Kaily I decided it was time for a change. It's a new year, why not?! Clint and I have been talking about it for weeks and today I decided was going to be IT. I was so tired of trying to do something with it, the gobbs of shampoo I went through just to wash it, the gobbs of hair I was loosing every time I washed it, the kids pulling it, Clint complaining b/c it was always in his face when we slept, the heaviness on my head when I put it up and the most annoying thing about it all was when I would run and feel just how much it was pulling my head back. If you haven't guessed already...I cut my hair. Not just CUT it, but literally chopped it. I'm talking about 15 inches. I WISH I had a before pic, but I don't, I just have an after one. Let me know what you think. I'll take a better one later, but these will have to do for now. So, you may be wondering what Clint thought of it when I got home. He loves it!

OK, the thought of you cutting, "really" cutting, your hair, kinda made me cringe....BUT I like it. I can't wait to see it in person. Dad had a hard time with it too. I know how heavy it was though. I remember when we got it cut years ago because it was giving you headaches. Kaily was so cute in telling me that she liked it. I know she was worried about mommies hair. Congratulations on making a HARD decision. I love it.

i love it!! way to be brave ... it's so scary to chop it. doesn't it feel SO light right after you cut it? and you feel like you barely have enough shampoo and end up with enough suds for your whole body.

ahhh, i think i'll go chop mine now ... wait. not much to chop. hmmm...

Congratulations on the Chop! I really had no idea about the whole hair thing before I got married, and now I have experienced this. I thought Erika was going through cancer treatments or something.
