Royal has never had to pay for a haircut in his life, thanks to his mom being a hairdresser. She even has her shop attached to their house, so for the majority of Royal’s life, he never even had to leave the house to get his haircut. Then we moved to Wichita. He swore to me he would just let his hair grow out until we could fly home because there was no way he was going to pay money to get his hair cut. I started to panic a bit, because in reality it could be a long time between trips to Washington. And in case you didn’t know, this is what Royal looked like when we first started dating…a little bit like Harry from Dumb and Dumber don’t ya think?

I know you are wondering, why would I go on a date with him looking like that? But I had no idea he looked like that, I had met him 2 years before our first date and he had short hair at the time, but I hadn’t seen him since then, and he called me on the phone to go to a Mariner’s game with him, so I didn’t see him until I met him to drive over to Safeco field. Luckily, he had a lot more to offer than just a head of hair. :)
Anyway, we moved to Wichita in June and Royal waited until he was able to fly back to Washington in September to get his hair cut, and he really needed a hair cut by then. This time though, we aren’t going back to Washington until the end of December and 4 months is just too long to go. So, Royal asked a couple guys he works with where they got their hair cut, and Royal just stopped by the place on Saturday, without making an appointment. Remember, the boy has never had to make an appointment. Well, they were busy and couldn’t fit Royal in, and they didn’t have enough business sense to make an appointment for Royal before he left. So, Royal, deciding they had horrible customer service, swore he would never go back and that he was waiting until he could get back to his mom’s shop. That’s still a good 6 weeks away, and Royal could of used a haircut like a month ago. Oh well, I guess I was just going to have to get used to looking at Royal’s mushroom-like hair. Then my mom mentioned something about giving my dad a hair cut, and that she had her clippers with her. So, she brought them over tonight and hallelujia, Royal finally got his hair cut.

Interesting…in each picture, Royal seems to have less and less clothes on. Royal is quite a bit thinner now than when we first started dating too…wonder if I need to feed him more…
