This really was not my intent-I swear!

My husband Dave has changed his appearance quite a bit since we've been together-but the most dramatic changes have happened within the last 9 months (of the over 9 years that we have been together).

Here we are in November of 2oo5.  I know I said we've been together for over 9 years, but this was the quickest pic I could find to illustrate the transformation.  When we got together, Dave's hair actually went to about the middle of his back. 

And here we are at our wedding in March of 2oo6.  He had it cut to shoulder length.

Then in September of last year, he shocked me with this one...

We got up one morning, and he said he was going to run an errand.  He was being really secretive and wouldn't tell me what he was doing.  When he came back, I was SHOCKED!  Dave had been saying for weeks that he was going to get his hair chopped, but he kept chickening out.  I would tease him every time.  I never thought I would see his neck like this.  It might be hard to tell, but in the picture above, he is holding his senior picture-where he had the exact same hair cut!

And then when I came home on Wednesday...he walked out of the front door looking like this

WOAH!!  He had been saying for a week or two that he was just going to buzz his hair.  I begged him not to-I just couldn't imagine it!!  But you know what?  I really like it.  I think he looks about 10 years younger!  SO-as for the title of this post-when we got together, my intent was never to "tame" him by taming the hair.  Actually, before each transformation I would almost DIScourage him because I was worried about the end result.  But I ended up liking each one.

By the way...I was thinking that I need a haircut now.  I really liked the way my hair looked in the November of 'o5 picture above.  What do you think-should I go for it?

And also-Dave got me the Wii Fit for Mother's Day and it came yesterday...I'll be posting about it soon.  But for now, it's so much FUN!!
