New Do.

The following is really a lot of rambling, but its a story that makes me laugh so I wanted to record it. The point of the story is found in the pictures, I got a new hair cut. I just really like to ramble. Sorry.

On the way home from Utah, I was taking a turn in the driver's seat. Do you know how you can't really have a ponytail in the car because you have big knot on the bak of your head preventing you from relaxing against your headrest? Well, I'm getting pretty good at avoiding the situation, but I neglected to get my elastic before getting behind the wheel. So with the air condition blowing almost full force my hair was tickling my face and driving me crazy. Of course, Ethan has no idea about all this. This is proof:

I said, "Hon, can you help me with my hair?"

To which he replied, "Ya. I think you should cut it. You've been thinking about cutting it, right?" I had, in fact, NOT been thinking of cutting it. I was enjoying long hair and wanting to grow it long. "I think it would be good for a change."

I said, "Where did that come from? Half the time when I ask you for an opinion you can't give me one. Now all the sudden you're giving it to me unasked?!"

Of course, then I went all crazy inside thinking that he must hate my long hair and how now I have to cut it even though I really don't want to. Blah, blah, blah. I'm pretty insecure and now you all know how troubling it can be to live with me (OK, its even worse than you know, but whatever).

Here are some shots of the long hair I was enjoying...

So, I decided I could cut my hair to get a "change" but still keep my length. That was my plan. Last week I went and got it cut. I came home and tried to style it and it was a disaster! First of all, more length was cut off than I wanted. Then, there was a layer cut shorter than I knew what to do with. I hated it! When I did my hair wavy it did look good, so I could have gone for that full-time until it grew out, but its just not me... anyway... I called my friend up to see if she could fix it and this is the end result. I love it!

I know what you're thinking, for someone insecure you really shouldn't be putting embarassing pictures of yourself on the blog... well Bryant was taking the picture and he had me saying something funny and if you know me, you know I'm animated to a fault and this is the best picture we got out of 5. Sad, but true. At least its good of the hair.

And to finish off the post I want to say that as I was looking for a good before picture and found these of Ethan and I, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I am to have him. My friend Kim commented that after our reunion she was thinking about how perfect he is for me and I can't agree more. He's even more perfect for me than any of you know. We have so much fun together and learn so much from each other and help each other be better and just love each other so much. I am so lucky, beyond words. You all know, of course. He's way better than I deserve, but man! I feel so blessed to have him! That's all. My rambling is done for now.
