All chopped off...

Yes folks...its true, my husband has chopped ALL his hair off. Nada, no more. Well, I suppose it isn't all his hair-it just ended up being a buzz cut, but to me it feels like all his hair.
Let me explain how this all came to be...
In church 2 weeks ago, it was announced that a girl in our church had raised the $5000 that she was hoping to go towards children with AIDS in Africa. She had promised that when she reached this goal, she would shave all her hair off! And she did! It looks great, and the hair she cut off was able to be sent to Locks with Love (I think that is what it is called). WELL...2 weeks ago in church as Stephen was announcing this wonderful news, someone piped up and asked him how much it would cost to shave Stephen's head. Stephen got a little nervous and didn't know what to say, as I wasn't in church that Sunday. After the service, a young man in our church came up to Stephen and told him he would give $1000 to the AIDS cause if Stephen shaved his head...and Stephen agreed! So this past Saturday...after some special moments with Stephen's hair (hahaha)...we shaved it all off. Check out the pics:) Thanks Mom for the great haircut...your a pro at the buzz cut!
Stephen LOVES the new hair..and is planning on keeping it for awhile. I'm starting to get used to it! He looks like such a different person than when we first got married. I am so proud of him and all the weight he has lost (100 pounds for those that aren't aware!). He is a very determined man, and his dedication to losing the weight and getting healthy was astounding! You look awesome Stephen and I love you so much! (and yes...I do like the new hair!)
