it's gone.

Well the day finally came for my hair to go on the CHOPPING block! Today I went to the Thomas Laurence salon in Rochester in order to cut and donate my hair to Locks of Love.

For those who don't know, I've been growing my hair since November to donate it. Once the weather got nice, it started to be a lot to maintain my long locks - so just last month I decided to chop it instead of growing it longer. I made my appointment at the beginning of June with a new stylist, Jason, that my girlfriend Lanie recommended.

Lanie came with to be my photographer and moral support, and she did a great job documenting my experience with photos. The pics are online now if anyone wants to check them out. My story will be up on Kodak's 1000words blog soon enough. It was a great experience for such an amazing cause - so I'm encouraging of anyone even thinking about donating.

Thanks again to the Thomas Laurence salon and stylist Jason, the support from my friends and family and especially McAllister - he has put up with LOTS of my moaning and groaning about ponytail headaches over the last few months.
