Oooorahhh!

I beg your pardon for the significant amount of time that has lapsed between my last post and now! I was knocked out last week by some sort of flu/cold nastiness. We don't have our couch yet, sooo I resorted to piling pillows up on an air mattress in our living room in order to watch tv. Good times, good times! But, I survived and am ready to share our fun stories with you once again!

When I married Jake, I knew I was marrying into the Marine Corps family. I guess I didn't quite understand all that went into being a Marine wife. My general thoughts were lots of uniforms, deployments and many moves. So one of the things that I never would have thought would become part of my life, haircuts. I mean, obviously, their hair has to be short. And I knew from when Jake and I were dating he had to get a hair cut once a week, but I just thought it was one of those things they had to do while they were in training. But, nope! Please keep reading...

I am two weeks strong a homegrown barber. Who would have thought? In a quest to be more frugal and to spend more time with each other on the weekend I, Kelsey, have started cutting Jake's hair. Ahh! It is nerve racking! Marines have to have a fresh haircut every week. And not just any old trim! They have to have a "0" for most of the cut. And for those of you out there, who like me, are not aware, that is straight clipper on the noggin! Gulp.

My first week I was seriously petrified! I was so scared that 1) I was going to cut Jake, 2) give him a hair cut that would take weeks to recover from and 3) people would make fun of his horrific new do. Thankfully, somehow I managed to successfully give him a high and tight with a fade. He was a great teacher....he literally walked me through it as I was cutting his hair. Jake is a man of GREAT faith!

So here are some photos of the most recent cut! Happy Clippings to you all!
