Ashley’s Locks of Love

About 2 years ago, I was sick of my hair.  It was taking an hour to do it all nice for church or dates and I was bored with it.  So, I decided to chop it off and donate it to Locks-of-Love!  It wasn’t that shocking to me.  I had chopped my hair off before, only this time, I had a good reason for doing so.  When I told Ashley that I had donated it and what the hair would be used for, she decided she wanted to do the same thing.  She was only about 4 or 5 inches away from meeting the required length, so she didn’t have to wait too long.

So, on Saturday, I had a hair appointment scheduled and asked Ashley if she was ready to cut her hair and donate it.  She said she was ready, but wanted me to tell Paul (her dad) that she was just coming with me to keep me company.  She wanted to surprise everyone.

So, here are the pictures of it!  She was so happy with her short hair!  I can’t get over the fact how cute she is with short hair.  I probably told her 50 times at the salon how cute and adorable she looks.

The last two pictures of her long, beautiful hair before donating it.

All done!  Is it wrong to be proud?  I don’t care, I am so proud of her!

Normally, I don’t care if people comment, but if you wouldn’t mind, please leave a comment for Ashley.  She’s super excited about everyone knowing!
