Chocolate Cherry

When Cam and I first met I had 'mahogany' red hair. I loved it, he loved it, everyone was happy. Until just under a year later as I was preparing for our wedding (yup - we married on the 1 year anniversary of our 1st official date) and my beloved Ma wanted me to be blond. I had been blond all my life, as I got older that blond got darker and darker so to please my mother I grew out the red, cut off what remained of it and had my hair high lighted for the wedding. Ever since then I've wanted my red hair back but life had changed and for multiple reasons I just never bothered.

So a dear friend of mine has been dying her hair this phenomenal color that I absolutely love and more recently another friend from church used the same color to dye her hair. All this red around me made me yearn, once again for my red hair! By now, everyone should see where this is going...

Now I don't really like being a "copy cat". I'd rather be unique and I find myself not doing certain things specifically because I don't want to be exactly like someone else. It probably has to do with my aversion to authority and the fact that I would then be a "follower" - gasp! HA ha! I just have to laugh at myself sometimes :)

Here I am, a redhead again!! Ta da! I love it. The color is called chocolate cherry (thanks to Cam's cousin Anna Grauer who inspired me to choose this specific color about a year ago - I'm a little slow ;) It's delicious, isn't it? I love my natural hair color as well, it's just fun to try something different every once in a while.
