Just Do It

I've been talking about doing something for about a month now. I was going to do it. I was. Well, today Nate called me on it and told me I should just do it. No, it isn't cleaning the tub. Or washing the dog. But those both need to be done. But this thing....it was just time to do it.
So I asked Nate to take these pictures. It made me feel better.




And then we went here...

And this was the result.

I admit, I didn't go nearly as short as I was going to. Chickened out. But baby steps. Next time I'll go shorter with a whole new look. Here it is now, keep in mind that it air dried and I'm a little fuzzy:)

I just couldn't take the heaviness and the hotness of it all anymore. And it feels so good!

It turned out so cute! You had nothing to worry about. This heat is really getting to me too. Maybe a haircut is the answer!

Very cute! I remember when I got mine cut to what I considered short.... it takes guts that first time in a long while! Now it drives me batty when my hair gets "long"!
