The Tale of the Boy Who Cut His Own Hair Right Before Engagement Photos

Around Easter my little cousin, Ashtyn, cut herself some bangs because my Auntie Sheryl told her she couldn't get them. At the time, I thought it was funny; now I just feel my aunt's pain.

My Sweet Jesse knows that I like the way he looks with his hair short. To me this means a cut that's shorter on the sides and a bit longer on the top. To Jesse this means a full buzz (Some things just get lost in the translation from Guy language to Girl language). The last time he got his hair cut (by his super talented sister!), we both really loved it and I said, "let's make sure it looks like THIS when we take engagement photos." Well, being a boy (oh boys!), Jesse notice a few days ago that his hair was getting long and decided to fix that. When he called that night he said, "I cut my hair all by myself!" He was sooo happy. I was not. I was very, very worried...proud of him for being so resourceful and thrifty, but very worried. Then I forgot all about it. Well, today was the first time I've seen him since his hair cut and it didn't even catch my attention until I saw the back of his head, at which point I exclaimed, "OH MY GOSH! WHO CUT YOUR HAIR IN THE BACK?!?!" Jesse proudly retorted, "Me! I did it! All by myself!" I love my hunny with all my heart, but I kind of wanted to kill him at that moment. It's too short all over and in the back it's totally uneven and like 2 inches above his natural hair line. Of course, he still looks incredibly handsome and is the biggest stud in the whole world, but thought we agreed that before engagement photos we'd ask Christina (his sister) to cut it for him...I guess that didn't translate either. All I can do it pray it grows some before engagement photos in two weeks. Life is always fun with My Jesse around!
