Here is a picture of me and Dane taken about two years ago. His hair was long and he had about 50 extra pounds on him.
Now here's a pic of Dane taken recently after getting his hair cut and losing over 55 pounds!
This blog is to take note and give credit to the man for all his efforts to lose the weight and update his look to his current tastes and his place in life. He's done such a great job, I'm so proud of him. Right away I could tell a difference in his attitude and self esteem. He has always been a good looking man but now you can really see it shine. Albeit he's more "mainstream" now but I think it was about time to do that. He'd had long hair pretty much his entire adolescent and adult life up till now. It's been such a difference. Many people almost didn't recognize him.
We've been getting along better recently and I think that has to do with quite a few variables, his weight loss and haircut to name a few. I think we've both matured and become more comfortable in our marriage and what that means for our relationship and our roles within the relationship. I can honestly say, from personal experience and from my recent dealings with Dane, that when your partner feels good about themselves, it shows in their attitude all across the board. Not just in day-to-day circumstances or the bedroom but in general and far reaching.
I feel Dane needed this confidence boost, especially as he embarks on finding a new job. While long hair might not be a big deal in Seattle, he is expanding to a much broader geographic location with his job search and talented as he may be he can't afford to be judged by his appearance.
I think his new hair makes him look younger yet more mature and definitely manlier. Instead of looking like the softy pony-tail guy, he looks like he could hold his own. I always knew he could despite his appearence.
I loved his long hair - hell - it was one of the reasons I was attracted to him. But that was almost 10 years ago and we are different people now. I'm glad to be witness to Dane's transformation to a beautiful butterfly. :-)

CLAP CLAP CLAP He is a beautiful butterfly:) Heimlich is proud!
I really love the new look on D, someitmes it takes something drastic for someone to realize how attractive they are. Dane is a cutie patutie, but I think he looks even better...his face looks so chiseled with the weight loss and now you can see it.
I've always loved D's hair too, but sometimes we have to let go of the past and cutting ones hair can be a pretty liberating way of doing so. I know I felt really good when I first cut all of mine and it grows back, that's the cool thing :)
