Things are changing around here

My sweet little long haired Gretchen has been asking periodically to have her hair cut short. It all started last year, when I went a little shorter and darker with my own, and continues each time the boys get their haircut. Well, it was that time again. The boys were looking like Shaggy and the pleading began. Now, as someone who has not had hair past her shoulders since 4th grade, I shouldn't care it she wants it cut. BUT...it breaks my heart to think of her long perfectly naturally highlighted hair could be much shorter. AND...I wasn't sure she would not regret it later. Since I am such a nice mom, HaHa! I let her go for it. Gretchen's hair was very long, and she probably had 8 inches cut off. She is happy & loves it, and that is all that matters to me! Dallin said he looked for her after church yesterday, and did not recognize her with her back to him.
