So spring always brings about an itchiness in me to do something daring, different, out of the box. I don't always do something crazy but this year I decided I would just go for it! And now I have what must be those "one-night" stand what was I thinking after thoughts. I have been drooling and dying to try Halle Berry's pixie/uber-short haircut and yesterday I went for it. That's right...I cut of all of my hair! Now I am super nervous to go anywhere that people will know me...i.e. church this morning. I mean when I picked my kids up from Oxford yesterday after their classes I saw my bestest and she about pooped her pants when she saw me. I know that short hair isn't her thing, she has the most beautiful long red hair but I shocked her more than I thought I would. My husband likes it. He learned a long time ago that I will do whatever I want with my hair whether or not he grants his approval. After all it is just hair and it will grow. I know though that my husband would like me anyway my hair is cut and that even includes if I would decide to shave it off. Thank goodness for that!
Now I will be going into my 30th birthday with short hair and I am not sure how I am feeling about that. I went into my 18th birthday and college with short hair. Big changes in my life apparently call for big changes to my hair. I try to be secure about who I am and the way I look, but really deep down I am not secure, in fact I am more insecure than I would ever let on. Now that I have lost the locks I have nothing to hide behind. The people who have known me the longest here in Illinois have never seen me with short hair and I am so nervous to show them. But if they don't like it well Reese keeps telling me over and over again how much she loves my haircut and loves me. Thank the Lord for her!
In parting, when you see me even if you don't like it please pretend you do!
Aww Shannon, I bet your new cut looks awesome! LOL, Kids are honest! They will tell you like it is :) And by the sounds of it, You must be wearing it well! :) You have an awesome family Shannon! I bet it looks adorable/awesome! Honestly, I was always kind of jealous "in a way" that you could sport off short hair with grace, elegance and look hip! You definitely have the face to pull it off! And I would be proud of that because not many do! I know I dont! I wouldn't worry too much and like you said, hair grows back. If only sometimes quicker when we most want it too. Any dramatic change to a look is a shock at first. Even if you were excited about it before hand. Its like buyers remorse! But... before you know it, everyone will be use to it including yourself! :)

I can't wait to see it on Friday!!! Yay! I'm thinking of cutting mine too, but perhaps not quite as short as you went :)
