"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." — Gordon B. Hinckley

First Hair Cut


Yes, Raychel is almost 10 and got her first real
hair cut!! We even got to bring some home in an
envelope!! She has many trims over the years,
but never a "hair cut." She wanted to donate her hair to
Locks of Love but when she found out they needed
at least 10 inches, she could only part with 6.
I am so proud of her desire, she said maybe next time.
This was the day of the hair cut, because her hair has gotten
so long all of her curl is pretty much gone, so on
this morning we straightened it to see just how
long it really was!!

The first cut....

"Wow, that's a lot" was all Jolene could say.
Poor Raychel looked at me and said "it's alright
isn't it?"

The finished look!!


Now it is so much easy it comb, wash, dry, and some
of the curl is back! She loves her new cut!!

It's just beautiful!

It looks really good. You can hardly tell that she got it cut. Raychel should have just closed her eye shut real hard and had the 10 inches cut off. I am proud of what she did I know it was hard for her.

It looks gorgeous. Its always hard making that first official cut of the hair. I guess the only thing you have to remember is that it does grow back if there are regrets. Love it though!
