Taking the Plunge!

Katina is a childhood friend from church when I was growing up. She came down to visit and stayed with my sister, and on Sunday the two of them came over for dinner. We randomly decided to cut my hair since she works in a salon and has great taste...not to mention the fact that it would be free :) :)


Me, Katina, Kara

Soooooo, without further adieu:

BEFORE



(this picture is just for my sister...she called it my "teen mother" look :) )

DURING

I have enough to donate to Locks of Love!!

AFTER



What was really helpful is Kara and Katina had me style my own hair after it was cut so that I would know how to do it myself. She cut it in a way that I should also be able to get away with not blow drying it if I don't have time or don't want to do it. It is also short enough in the back it shouldn't be too hot this summer, and it is long enough in the front I can pull it up.

The jury (aka, me) is still out on whether or not I will keep this style...I need to give it a few days of "trying it out" to know for sure. These are not great pictures...I will have to get more candid shots over the next few weeks for a true idea of what my hair looks like so you can let me know what you think!

As for other pictures...


I see you...Look how determined I am!


I knew I could stand up!


The boys working on their computers :)


Titus cracks us up! He went and got this plastic camping light shade and was wearing it around like a hat! We just couldn't help but laugh at how funny he looked. :)

And...FINALLY...here is a video of Titus. He loves singing Ring Around the Rosie...and any other song that involves spinning :)

I love your hair and have been tempted to do the same thing. I'm getting quite tired of having my hair pulled all the time! I'd say keep it. :)

I love the cut, Michelle! The short length looks great and really frames your face well (in my opinion). :)

Thumbs up from me. It looks like it will move well, but like you said... it always takes some time to figure out how it will work on a daily basis. :) I like it.

MICHELLE! KEEP IT! You look FABULOUS!I agree with Jaena, it DEFINITELY frames your face. You could even have it a little longer in the front, but I LOVE the length! :)
