Well, I did it! My good friends Heather and Alex came down for the weekend to keep me company while Jared was out of town, and Alex just happens to be an amazing stylist (he works at 7 in Seattle... if you live in the area I highly recommend you go see him.) So, I decided it was time to say sayonara to the long hair I'd spent the past 5 years growing out. Sometimes a girl just needs a change and I was starting to get really sick of feeling like a gross mom with my hair in a perpetually messy ponytail. It took us 2 feedings and umpteen diaper changes from start to finish (Emma doesn't like to nap on the weekends, which isn't super conducive to squeezing in a haircut) but I love how it turned out...
Jared had no idea I was cutting it, so he got a big surprise when he got home last night. Thankfully, he loves it. Or at least that's what he said. He'd tell me I looked beautiful if I shaved my head and dyed it purple, so there's really no telling.
