Locks of Love

Emily decided a few weeks ago that she wanted to cut her hair. I made her wait a few weeks just to make sure she really wanted to do it and that she wasn't going to change her mind. She has the most beautiful thick blond hair that she has only had trimmed in the past few years and it had grown about halfway down her back. Knowing that it was going to be a lot of hair to cut we decided to see what the details were for donating it to Locks of Love. Fortunately she more than met all the requirements for donating!

Yesterday was the day! Emily had an appointment with our FAV hair stylist Jason, and he wasted no time getting started.

Very quickly the pony tail was cut! YIKES! The salon even did the paperwork and sent the hair off to Locks of Love for us!

Then Jason took his time and gave Emily an adorable new haircut!

It came out soooo cute! Emily did get a bit emotional as soon as we were in the car and cried for a few minutes wondering what did she do! But over the rest of the day and today she seems to be loving her new style, and we hope someone who needs it will get a beautiful blond hairpiece!

Where does the time go??

So today is Emily's last day of 7th grade! Well finals are next week, but today is the last day of school! So hard to believe! My little girl is going to be a teenager this summer...GULP! This year has been a big adjustment for her school wise but she has hung in there and I am so proud of all she has learned and accomplished this year! Way to go baby...I love you!
