You still liking your short hair? It sure looks great!! How fun to see a show with Elijah!

Danielle, I HATE my current haircut!! I really liked it the length it was in the fall, a tiny bit longer. I got it chopped chin-length back in January. It's impossible to style, doesn't lay right, and I can't put it up yet. She also gave me bangs of that awkward length where they won't swoop across my forehead without falling in my eyes constantly, but can't be tucked behind my ear. UGH. At least three or four times a week I stand in front of the mirror and say, "I can't wait for my hair to grow out!"

But thanks. :P
