So I Butchered My Husband

In an effort to be a thrifty and frugal wife I decided it would be a good idea if I started cutting Carver’s hair. I mean really how hard could it be? Obviously people go to school and spend a lot of time practicing this sort of thing, but surely I would be able to pick it up right away. Carver had full confidence in my abilities and was so excited for me to start hacking away at his overgrown mane.

Things started out well enough. I buzzed up the bottom and trimmed around his neck. I cut the top of his hair and then the sides, I was feeling pretty good about my hair-cutting skills, and that's when it all fell apart. There was this ridiculous line around his head that would not go away. I came at it from all angles trying my best to blend the dang thing away, but 45 minutes later it still remained, taunting and reminding me that I was definitely a newbie in the world of husband hair styling.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I had a bit of a meltdown at that point. I mean come on; it should not have been this hard! My friend Heidi showed me how to do it a few months ago, and I watched an entire video on YouTube right before I started, how could I not be a professional at this point? But despite my extensive preparations there sat my husband, wearing a trash bag because we didn't have an actual cape, a chunk missing from the side of his head thanks to my experimental blending techniques, and a bowl cut that any six year old would be proud of.

Ok so it wasn't that bad, but in my frustration I forgot to take an after picture. Luckily our friend Maycee was able to fix it the next day. Carver only had to walk around like a weirdo for 24 hours. I am very grateful first of all for professionals who are good at what that they do.Without professionals everyone who saw Carver would know that the poor guy was being forced to participate in his wife's beautification education. I am also thankful for a husband who’s not too concerned about his looks and was amused rather than annoyed at my first haircut attempt. He is such a good sport and I'm very thankful for that. And suprisingly he’s even willing to let me try again!
