the short version

some of you may know that a few months ago Charley randomly told me that she wanted to cut her hair & donate it to someone who was sick. i have no clue where she heard about programs like this but we talked about it & what a great thing it was. i kept putting her off though because i was having a hard time separately myself from her beautiful long hair. she really does have the most beautiful hair. she could go days without brushing it & no one would know the difference except Charley & i when it actually came time to brush her hair. then all hell broke loose. she has the most tender head & i have little patience. not a good combo. so the time finally came & i was tired of having bad hair brushing moments.

we sent Charley to spend a week with my mom & dad in boise & so i thought maybe it would be easier on my if i had my mom take her for the actually moment. you have to have at least 10" of hair in a ponytail in order for locks of love to use the hair to make a wig. i was a little worried that she wouldn't have enough but it turns out that her ponytail was about 11.5" long. mom said that she was pretty emotionless while having it cut that they were not sure how to read her but afterwards she said "charley LOVES her hair". charley called to tell me that she got her hair cut & told me that she & bama (my mom) were twins. she thinks it is so cool.

it has been a few weeks now & both Charley & I LOVE her hair!!!
