The Shinn Digs

My friend tease me about being on kicks … I get highly passionate about something for awhile, then it fades. Well, I’ve put in my time with the “long hair” kick and I’m OVER IT! I didn’t like myself in long hair … I always wore it up. I’ve tried two different times while living in SB to have long hair … this last stint was about 3 or 4 years I believe, so I’ve given it the ol’ college try. But it’s time to be myself again. Inspired by Dara Torres, I had to convince the stylist to cut it “that short.” I feel like myself again. The next day Garth got his hair cut too … sort of weird to have longer hair than your wife I think! Thanks to photo booth, here’s a pic. I could have easily categorized this post in the “aging” category, as there is no hiding all the gray hair now!  

While everyday is a good day to tell the people in our lives how important they are to us, special days like birthdays are a great opportunity to say those things.  JP, you are a wonderful person, friend, mom, wife (and a zillion other things).  I am so thankful for you and so excited that I get to do life with you.  Happy Birthday babe!

Sorry faithful readers … apparently I have some really bored friends in Missouri and a husband willing to cohort with them to write make believe posts (I can still run a mile, though I haven’t in 2 weeks … and I didn’t run a race last weekend!) But since we’re into make believe posts, courtesy of JJ, I’ve decided the popularity of this blog is pointing me straight to the presidential office. Please follow millions of Americans, and vote for me.
