A little Marriage Trust*

Lately I have been wanting to get my hair cut. I rarely get it done and it has been like 6 or 7 months since its been cut. I am just cheap when it comes to stuff like that! So Shelden and I were just talking the other day and I was telling him how I need to get my hair done and jokingly suggested that maybe he should just cut it because I am cheap. I was half serious and half joking. Shelden cuts his hair all the time and does a really good job! I know cutting long hair is a little different then triming up a short man's hair...but it sounded kind of fun to let him try! :) We agreed that if he messed it up that I could go spend money on getting it fixed. It was a win win situation, either he does a good job and we don't spend any money or he messes it up and I go get it done and it looks great. Either way I would have spent the money to get it done so might as well let him try right? hehe..
My parents came home as we were about to start and they were like what the heck are you doing!?! My mom said "you are only going to cut like a little bit right?",making her fingers show us about an inch. (He ended up taking about 4 in off) And my dad walked by and said, "I've never touched your mother's hair!" haha...I think they were afraid for me! But I made sure my mom knew we watched a tutorial online about it, ha! because that makes us professionals after watching a video online about it!
We joked about how it really takes trust between us to let him cut my hair. A girl's hair is pretty important to how she feels about her looks. If you get a bad haircut, it's kind of a big deal! It really did take some trust for me to let him cut my hair, it wasn't a big deal when we first started but as time went by and hair was falling to the ground, I was a little nervous! It took communicating through it and not being afraid to offend the other by being honest. It was a good little trust exercise! :)
He did an awesome job!...I figured he would, he is good at everything! :)

 Before

kinda scary with the scissors huh?
 it was a process...
 After...not so bad eh?
no, it's not perfect but its better than spending $100 bucks!
