Hair today, Hair tomorrow

Well today is a big step for me!  Kinda scary but it needs to be done:) For some of you, you may already know this about you, some might have guessed already and some have no clue but I am ready to let the cat out of the bag, or should I say hat out of the bag. ha ha  Well my friends today the wig is coming off!  Yes thats right I said wig.   Last year with all my sickness and crazyness I lost all my hair. Sad I know! After all the stress, anesthesia, and medication it just started falling out, and keep going till i finally shaved it. So I have been sporting a wig or as i refer to it as my hat, these last 9 months or so.  I honestly think that losing your hair is one of the hardest things you can go threw,  I know i sound like a baby its just hair right? But it was like the last straw the broke the camels back last year.  My sickness took everything away from me, my healthy, my social life, my independence and then took the one thing that made me feel normal still, my hair.  I am so glad I was blessed with a wonderful family and friends at that time.  My family made it ok to laugh about. (and boy does my dad and tara love to joke about it) Also my friend Kim who went threw a battle with cancer was right there with me knowing how exactly i felt about losing my hair.  So its been a long year of bad hair days :) Although I am still not confident about going with out my wig, i feel a sense of relief.  With the wig gone i will not be reminded everyday of how sick i was,  I wont be scared that its going to fly off ha ha.  This is my last thing to take back that was taken from me last year!  So as of today everything from last year is now behind me and it feels great! I just want to thank my friends and family for the support, Also Bryan for being understandable and threatening to take my wigs from me. I wouldn't have been able to take this step with out them.  THANK YOU! So lets hear it for REAL HAIR! woot woot!














Before I started to get sick, Ah hair!


While I was sick, Started to fall out about this time :)

I really like your short hair!! I always wanted to be able to pull off a short pixie cut and you look super cute. I'm sure that's a really exciting step for you!
