Today, October 3, 2011 would have been my Father-in-Law, William Harry Shewbridge's 100th birthday. I unfortunately never had the chance to meet him as he had already passed away when Bill and I started dating.

I did get to know about his character from cards and letters I found that he had written to my mother-in-law through-out their marriage when we were cleaning out their house when my MIL passed. He was a very sweet and sentimental man who truly loved his wife with his whole heart.... Kind of sounds like a man that I know and love deeply.

I truly wish that I could have gotten to meet my FIL, just so I could tell him THANK YOU! He raised one of the most wonderful men in the world... a man who is caring, loving, thoughtful, and generous. And not just to me; he is that way to my boys and to all the people we meet. He helps those less fortunate and is always there with a smile or being silly just to make me or anyone happy. This I know he got from his father.... so Happy Birthday, Harry - I love you for giving me the most wonderful gift I could have ever received!

The Man I Love: Bill

I Finally DID It.... The Haircut!!

So, I finally went and got my haircut ~ after a year and a half ~ and I'm really happy with how it came out... Let me know what you think.

Before: (I did get caught in the rain this morning - TeeHee)

After:

Quite a difference, huh?  It will be SO much easier to take care of and something wonderful happened by having so much cut off:  I was able to donate 10" to Locks of Love ~ so some lucky child will be able to have a wig using my hair.  That makes me happy!
