Beware!

So these pictures were taken by Trent if you couldn't tell. They were the best I could offer in a short time! The story goes that I was wanting to cut my hair about two months ago and every time I brought it up to Steve he would talk me out of it...so I decided one day to not tell him!!! I know, I know, so mean. After I cut my hair I called him and told him I had chopped it ALL off...that way he wouldn't be so mad to know that it was still to my shoulders! I really like the change, but it is much harder to manage time when I HAVE to do my hair everyday! It will always grow back, right???

Goodbye to 10 inches!!!

Ten inches of my hair is GONE! I have not had it this short since third grade!!! My friend Chelsey cut it last Wednesday and for all of you who do not see me on a weekly basis I thought I would let you know!!!

Trent's 4th Birthday!!!

The Cake
Opening gifts in front of the temporary Christmas Tree. We had not gone to cut our tree yet so we put up a fake tree temporarily the first weekend after Thanksgiving!!!
