I Did It!

I have been looking forward to this day, for my 8:00 AM appointment. I was much less excited when I woke up and it was -8 outside, with a windchill of -25. My appointment was at a salon 1/2 block away, and I really wanted to drive. But Christian teased me about driving 1/2 block, so I opted to walk. My nostrils were freezing together on the walk. But I made it! And...here's what most of you have been waiting for!It ended up being 15 inches to donate, and then another 3-4 inches after she cut off the first part. Stephanie, the girl cutting my hair, wanted to start a little long and get shorter if I wanted to. She was almost afraid to cut off too much! I was just ready for it, and couldn't wait to do it.

I had 39 people vote, and only 1 said don't cut it, and 3 said do something different. The vast majority of you were ready for the change. And so was I! I always love the yummy smelling products they use on your hair. And Stephanie massaged my head for like five minutes. It felt so good. Why did I wait so long to do this???

When I came home, Aidan was being shy! He was hiding his face shyly and looking at me with a funny smile. He has never known me with short hair! He wouldn't even come over and give me a kiss. I guess it will take a while for him to get used to.

Wow Erin, we've never seen you with short hair and it looks GREAT! Even Aaron (who doesn't voice opinions much on hair) came over to take a look and agreed. We think you look younger (in a good way) and we love the length! Way to go! LOVE it!

Jessie said...

As my BFF used to say: "Love your hair, hope you win" (it made sense then). Anyway, I really like the way it frames your cute face - it looks mah-velous!

Just when I thought Utah's winter was acting like an Iowa winter, Iowa went and outdid itself. Enjoy those negative numbers!
