Welcome! My name is Mrs.G and I started this blog so people could share in my mis-adventures in wedding planning. I married my southern gentleman on September 6th, 2009. Throughout our courtship I became enamored with everything southern and desperately want to become a steel magnolia.

Chop: Results

I did it!

I ended up not going too extremely short due to I was already nervous about it. After it was dry and what not, I don't think I will go any shorter.... for now.

You know how I was all like "Nerds! I hate my perm!" and all that silliness, well this hair cut has given it new life and I think I am in "like" with it.

Here is before:

This is me, all smiles on the outside

Dread and doubt filled on the inside.

This is the longest my hair has been since 2005, it was mid back, that is crazy long! I didn't have a chance to straighten it before I got it cut to see how long it really it was but ce la vie.

Here is the result! I was dumb and didn't get a good picture RIGHT after but it looks the same as it did on Saturday afternoon. So It is about shoulder length with lots of layers, why did I ever turn my back on layers? My hair loves them.

I am thinking about going back and getting the products she used on my hair because my hair hasn't been as soft and shiny as it was that day. I don't know if I want to shell out the kind of dough for a mini sized bottle, ya feel me?

What do you guys think? Better short or long?

Chop.

I got a perm and never really liked it.

I mean it worked some days, but most days it is a complete mess... like today. It is thrown up in a top not and that STILL can't contain the awfulness.

I prefer my hair on the long side and after my wedding I felt I desperately needed a change so I got my hair chopped about a year after and husband wasn't too fond of it, I believe his first remark was "I CAN SEE YOUR NECK?!?!?!".

Well I am back to that place, should I or shouldn't I.

I wouldn't go that short, I want, nay, NEED to be able to put my hair up in a pony tail.

Here's my train of thought.

1. My perm  growing out. I have about 4 inches of new growth of hair and I am proud to say it looks like my old hair (PRAISE!).  
2. My perm is falling out I am now faced with either having to straighten my hair, or load my hair down with product to force the remaining curl to curl. If I let it air dry or I don't put the right amount or to little product in it, it looks like half straight, half weird semi wave thing and a hole lotta friz.

So my thought is if I get it cut, and keep up with the 6 week trim, my hair will back to normal, or mostly normal in no time. Also, if it is shorter I can blow dry it and straighten it easier than it is now.

No joke if I want to straighten my hair it takes at least 2 hours.

In the back of my mind too I am thinking that maybe if I get it cut shorter the curls will bounce back a little. I know my hair is weighing my curls down.

Here are some styles I am throwing around (please don't laugh at the second one, this is legit)
I think this may be too short, so add a couple inches and we would be in business. I need layers back in my life.

I have always wanted to get this hair style and never did, still maybe to short

Happy medium?

I am not going to lie, I am a little gun shy to let anyone touch my hair. It is times like this I miss Matt and his unyielding advice about my hair.

What do you think?

The chop. Yay or Nay?

Makeover

Alright bloggers...
Seeing as I am only going to be a soon to me Mrs. for 18 more days it is time to start contemplating what will come next for my blog. I have a few ideas as to what my new site will have. Here are a few post ideas and directions for my new blog.

For sures:
1.For one week I am going to recap my wedding with posts dedicated to certain aspects.
the posts I am thinking about are Ceremony, Reception, Bride, Groom, Flowers, The wedding party and Honeymoon (when we go a month later)

2. Themed days like Recap Mondays -where I will recap my weekend. Tasty Tuesdays- where I give you all a recipe that I have tried or created and think you will enjoy. Wardrobe Wednesdays- there was a challenge going around that I found at alwaysanortherner where you are challenged to do something new with your current wardrobe. Mix pieces you currently own and see what trendy new outfits you can come up with (really excited about this one),Thankful Thursdays- I have already started this one and I really like taking the time to really think of everything I am thankful for. TGIF- a post to celebrate the last day of the work week.

3. I will of course be blogging about being a new wife, the trials and errors, the laughs and the tears.

4. School. That's right lovely bloggies I am trying my darnedest to start school in December. But not here :( I have been accepted in to Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, NC. We will see where this takes me and my blog.

As my wedding planning is coming to a close before the big day it is relief that getting my life back to some sort of norm is right around the corner. My life for the past 9 months has been centered around this one day and it is just thrilling to see what is on the other side.

That is what I leave you with today.

TaTa!
