My Favorite Birthday Present

I cheated.
Just a little bit but still...

For my birthday, I wanted one thing and one thing only. I've been wanting it since the day we found out BOTH of our families were getting pictures done at the end of the year.

I wanted long hair.

This is my hair in March. It's the most recent picture I can find of my hair being down since getting chopped off. Imagine only 6 months later and my hair is anything but long. It touches my shoulders but since it was so stacked in the back, I have some pretty short layers back there still.

And for me, medium length hair is awkward and I certainly wouldn't want to be awkward in family photos that may or may not be updated for years and years. I want to look great in those pictures!

So anyway...

Happy birthday to me. :)

PS: Personally, I think they look much better in person but I had to take an awkward self-portrait to show it off to all of you.

Happy Thursday!
