Givin it up.

Me: "Matt?"
Matt: "Yes?"
Me: "I have something serious to talk to you about"
Matt: "Okay...."
Me: "It's going to affect you immensely so you need to hear me out and figure out how you are going to deal with it"
Matt: "Okay....."
Me: "People will be staring and pointing and whispering...you might not want to be seen with me. You might possibly want to break off the engagement"
Matt: "What is it!"
Me: "I have decided to go grey"

His response was what I expected- he thought I was being dramatic and didn't really care if I was grey or purple but this is the conversation we had the other night. 

I have been coloring my hair for so long I can't even remember when the first time I did it was....and for the longest time I was just coloring it because it was fun. Then one day somewhere around 23 I saw a pesky grey hair and I knew my life was changing. 
Since then I have been coloring my hair because I had to cover up the grey's and man has it been exhausting.  I just want to stop having to do it every 3 weeks and I want to see what MY hair color looks like and feels like. As part of my exaggerative( is this a word?)  personality I will tell you I am 80% grey but realistically maybe about 15%....let's put it this way- any time you part my hair you will find at least one and he is usually hanging out with a group if friends. 

So the other night when I was about to color it I said F this! I have to tell you...it was so freakin' liberating. It's just like this is who I am and I am 100% okay with it. 
Most of my friends including Matt will laugh and say that I hardly have a lot of grey's and this isn't a big accomplishment but for me it is because it has been such a chore that I thought I had to do...and to know I no longer have this task is very freeing! 

I know when we have the wedding I want to do some highlights to accent the style of my hair and at that point I will color it again but up until then (about a year from now) I am not coloring it....and it's pretty exciting. Not to mention all of the money I am going to save:) 

Please baby jesus don't let me be the kind with the huge silver streak down the side like Elvira...because then I might have to delete this post and jump back on the wagon.
