Locks of Love

...BEFORE...&...AFTER...

Aaron liked my hair long, so I never cared to do anything this drastic. But ever since Aaron passed away, I have wanted to cut my hair really short and see what I would look like.
I have been trying to figure out how I would want it to be cut and when I finally found the haircut I wanted, I made an appointment with my sister in law, Suzy. I put my hair in her hands and I just trusted her completely to transform my hair. I like it. I will never be able to style it this same way since SHE is the professional... but I will try. I have never REALLY had a real style. This is new for me. Suzy said that she cut off a total of about 14 to 15 inches. She cut off a pony tail of my hair first so that I can send it to locks of love. This is the second time since Aaron Jr was born that I have cut enough off to send to locks of love. That makes it all worth it. My long hair has always been kindof a security blanket for me. This is not in my comfort zone, but I haven't been in a comfort zone for over 8 months now... so nothing has changed in that regard.
With all of the changes that have been thrown at me in the last 8 months since Aaron passed away, I wanted to have a major change that was actually IN my control. So, this was exciting and scary at the same time... but at least it was in my control. It felt nice being the one who got to make a decision about something semi-major in my life even if it isn't necessarily a life changing decision.
Who knows, maybe I will go shorter next time... hmmm...
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUZY!

Missing you every day, Aaron...
