Locks of Love & My Natural Hair Color

About five or so years ago, I decided to cut my hair off and donate it to Locks of Love. This is a non-profit organization that collects hair donations and makes them into hairpieces for financially disadvantaged kids who have lost their hair due to a medical condition. I think it is a great cause and well worth me having hair less than an inch long for a while. Anyone who is interested in donating should visit the donation page on the website for more info. The hair should be sent in a braid or ponytail and should be at least 10 inches long (hair that is shorter will be sold to help offset their costs). So, I finally sent my hair in to the organization this week. There's no real good reason that it took so long, but here's the quick run down. I cut my hair. I found a small box to ship it in. I got a new job at school in addition to full-time class schedule and a regular part-time job. Moved into an apartment. Took on a more advanced position for my job at school. Took on an active role in a student group at school. Planned a wedding. Moved partially out of the apartment (to lease to a visiting professor for the summer months). Got married. Finished moving out of the apartment. Went on a honeymoon. Started full-time classes again and a very busy schedule with the student group. Took summer classes too. Walked in summer graduation. Went to 5 weddings in a months time. Went to Ireland with my family. Finished classes in December. Continued working with the student group. Finished building an addition at my parents place. Moved into the addition. Went to Hawaii for Spring Break with Daniel's family. Started playing softball on a coed team. Applied for grad school and got in. Started a G.A. position that came out of the student group. Went to Texas for a conference and to visit friends from elementary school. Continued working very part-time at my regular job when they needed me. Went to Oklahoma, New York, and Ireland with my Mom & Grandma. Started grad school. Moved into an apartment near campus. Went to Asia for a month as part of my grad program. Came back and went to my brothers wedding. Started a new coed softball team with several people from my grad program. Started job searching. Finished classes. Graduated. Finished my exit project. Continued job searching. Continued working at my regular job, but full-time hours. Moved out of our apartment and back home. Found the hair packed away in a box and pulled it out to send in. Went to China for a month to visit my parents. Came home. Finally mailed out the hair. Like I said, no real good reason, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. As for my natural hair color, it's been ages since I've seen it. Took a picture before sending in my hair. Here's the photo.
