Mission Complete

I am 8 inches lighter (in hair that is). I only wish 8 inches of pregnancy weight could be disappear after 2 hours at the salon!

For the last two years, I have been growing out my hair. I felt attached to my long hair, so I had to remind myself today that my hair was for someone else and not for me. I was nervous, however, it was time. My hair was hot, a pain to blowdry, my hairstyle was a ponytail and Grant was always grabbing it. It was time to let it go.

Tomorrow, my hair will be in the mail to Children With Hairloss. I hope it is well used and loved by someone else.

So I write all of this not to get pats on the back or "job well done" comments. I write this to get you thinking. What small way can you give back? I'm ready for a new challenge!

AAAHHHH!!! I LOVE IT!!! Your new haircut is so cute! (Sorry, I can't help myself. It really looks great!) Your hair really had gotten long. Nice to have the weight lifted, eh? I didn't send my hair off this last time...not even sure just how much was cut off. Thanks for posting the pictures. You look beautiful!

Wow! I did not realize just how long your hair had gotten, Sara. It looks good both ways. How is it that you are so blessed as to have hair that looks good both ways?! Mine short is a disaster. Yours looks cute! :)

Well, you look fantastic! And thanks for the challenge...I will be thinking. Is there a place where I can donate shed pregnancy pounds...hmmmm. Of course, I am attached to them and might find it hard to get rid of them :).

I love the new cute! It looks so good on you. I don't think I could donate mine unless they would take short hair to make wigs for men :) I can't stand for it to gt to long. I need a trim right now but am waiting a little closer to my sister's wedding date so that it will be the perfect length.
