change..

Lately I'd been feeling, just so
..blah.

I hadn't changed my look for years and
it was just sort of getting, old I guess.  Plain.
Chase had never even seen me without my dark or black hair.  
(Except yeeears ago when we'd first met, when his family moved into my old house.)

So it was time for a change.

Chase always has this way of knowing exactly
when to say the right things I need to hear.
*He doesn't even know he does it.*
He makes me feel absolutely beautiful!
When I'm feeling as ordinary and boring as ever,
and I think I look awful,
he'll call and tell me he's been looking at my pictures and
simply wants to remind me how beautiful I am.


Hearing that from him is every time a jump start
confidence boost.
But I still just felt it was time for different.


SO...


First was my hair.  Since you can't dye over
black I had to have it lightened, which is
NOT easy to do.
I was really nervous.
I only trust one person with my hair, my friend
Betty, and she is so amazing.
5 1/2 hours later, I am now a brunette again.
There will also be blonde streaks later this week, 
it was just too much for one night.
It's difficult getting used to,
but it's beautiful and everyone loves it.


Next was my teeth.  They've never really
been very white, and I'd been noticing it
especially a lot lately.
White strips are time consuming and don't
work to the extent that I wanted.
So I had them bleached at my dentist's office
(thanks to wonderful husband)
and they are now so pretty I can't stop looking at them.


I feel great!
New.  Fresh.  Different.
It's exactly what I needed.
