The Battle of Wills: Beard vs. Bangs

So here's the deal: For the past four years, Chris has grown out his beard for the wintertime. He keeps a well-groomed beard year-round, which I really like. But once it begins to get the slightest bit cold, he aims to grow it out as long as possible. Against my protests, he grows this long, fiery red Yosemite-Sam-type beard that hides his handsome face. It wouldn't bother me so bad if with every kiss I didn't get a lip full of hair that may or may not have left over food in it. Yeah...

With winter quickly approaching, and the fact that we live in the mountains, Chris is already set to grow the burliest beard of all time. I mean, really?! He can suggest to me that he likes my hair longer and I willingly oblige him, but I have no say over whether or not the man grows an inch of hair on his face? That's just not very considerate.

So whether it's appropriate or not to air our dirty laundry out on the world wide web, I'm saying right here, right now, the battle of wills is on! I'm cutting my hair off. I'm starting with the bangs. Let's see how you like this, Christopher!
