A New Do

I finally got brave enough to change my hairstyle. I've been growing it out for a LONG time. I even got it to grow past my shoulders! I loved it long. But keeping it looking healthy and actually doing it were tough. I found myself putting it in a bun almost everyday. I really realized how little I did it as I was looking through pictures trying to find one with my long hair.... all the pictures of me that I've taken the last few months are of me with a bun! So, I knew I wasn't doing it. So, I finally asked my neighbor to cut it.

This is me with long hair....

And this is me now :) The day I got it cut, Abby kept coming up to me and saying, "mommy I really like your hair." "I love your new haircut mom." "Your hair looks really cute, mom." It made me feel so good. I haven't had so many compliments in many many years! I went to Young Womens on Sunday, and I've never had so many people comment on my haircut. I guess that's one huge advantage to teaching Young Women, they really notice when things are different. They made me feel young and fresh.
I love going back to short hair. I just felt like it gave me an extra bounce in my step. I will miss my long hair...but mostly just the days I would have done it...which were few and far between. Oh, and one thing I really love about this new hair cut is that my neighbor layered it so awesomely that I don't even have to blow dry it to get it to go cute. Now how AMAZING is that for a cute summer hair do!! Got to love that!!!
