February

(And no that is not me in the picture with Dan, that is his little sister Becky and his step-dad Norm.) When I sat down to actually write up this blog, I thought I had something for every month, but I could not remember what we did in February. Dan was going to photoshop us a nice picture, probably eating ice cream on the moon while wearing disco wigs or something, and we were going to make up an incredibly true story to go along with the picture, but then......I REMEMBERED!!!!

February was the month of the bet that will go down in history. Before Dan and I met, he enjoyed having long hippie hair. When we met he had recently shaved his head so I fell in love with a good looking clean cut surfer and had no idea he was a hippie in disguise. He decided late last year he was just going to make sure I was always to busy to give him a haircut and then before I knew it he would have his long hair back again. By February, I couldn't stand his hair any longer and was begging him to let me cut it. That is how the bet came about. Dan's terms were that if I let him have any haircut he wanted for 1 week, then I could do whatever I wanted to it after that. I knew this was a big risk, but after a few weeks of deliberating, I knew it was a risk I had to take. Naturally the haircut he picked for his week was an '80s bowl cut. I was in tears cutting his hair, but that was not even as funny as having to walk around with him for a week and watch people at the grocery store stare and try not to laugh. Needless to say it was a long week, but we survived. It was hard to find a picture that captured the full impact of this hair cut so you will just have to use your imagination. Keep in mind that he has thick naturally curly hair when it is long so you can picture how great the top looked every morning when he blow dried his hair upside down for maximum effect.
