I have been wanting to chop my hair for a while now. I wanted to leave it long until Eliza was born so that I could pull it back while I was in labor (My hair would not stay back when I was in labor with Lily). I also wanted to make sure it was long enough to donate. Ever since I was in middle school I have been growing my hair out, then cutting it short to donate to Locks of Love. Well I have been putting it off and putting it off because I don't have a hairdresser around here (my mom is far away) and I hate calling to make appointments in general.Lately, I have had new motivation. Eliza has figured out the art of grabbing and pulling. Prying her sweet little fingers off my hair mid diaper change is not very fun, to say the least. Sometimes I will just find a random long blond hair in her hand (or mouth!) during the day. At church on Sunday, Mike found a long Steph hair on his suit pants. Enough! The time had come for the hair to go!
I decided to make it a surprise for Mike. He has been hinting at it (or at least that's how I've been taking it... he won't admit it) for a while. He always comments on how cute my hair looks in pictures on the wall where my hair is short. I heard that Katie cuts hair, so I called her up and went over on Tuesday. It feels so great! Thanks Katie!
It's still wet here.
This is more or less how I have worn it so far, though this picture was at the end of the day, right before bed. You get the idea.

Love the hair cut!! It looks cute and summer-y! I too promised myself that once this baby was born we would chop chop chop that hair. . . but I have yet to do it. . . hopefully soon!
Cute, Cute, Cute :) I won’t cut my hair short because then I have to do something with it. Right now it just goes up so nice and easy. I can get ready in like 10 minutes! It’s too hard to handle when it’s short. See you NEXT WEEK!
Oh that is sooooo cute on you! I can’t wait to see it in person.
How is the garden coming?
Call me when you think about it (or e-mail me at work so I can e-mail you back at home). Becky and I want to go to lunch with you and Amy (tomorrow is her last day–I’m starting to be jealous of the two of you!).
Wow! You look sooo good. I saw Katie right after she’d cut it and she said you looked so cute with short hair, she was right! What a brave woman you are.
Cute Cute!
I had Katie cut my hair last week. I love her! Great hair cut, it looks great on you!
WOW! That was alot of hair. I am sure it feels so nice and extremly light now. ANd what a great thing for the summer time. I just cut mine too but nothing as dramatic as yours. :) Oh and I love the family pics on your other post. Such a cute little family. And Eliza is getting so big and is so flipping cute!
Wowee!! That looks great! I bet it feels great, too! I need to get a hair cut myself, but don’t know what to do with it. You’re an inspiration! :)
