| In process |
For quite some time, I've been fascinated by dreadlocks. It started a few years ago when Sara took the plunge in her own dreadie journey. Growing up in a town that, in large part, is stuck in the hippie era, I saw a lot of dreadlocks and thought some were interesting and some, not so much.

| Sometime in the first week |
From Sara's blog, I found all kind of other pictures and information. My fascination grew and it totally fit with where I was at in my desire to simplify my life. Never one to be too fancy in my style and certainly not liking to spend too much time on it, it seemed to be a perfect fit. It took a while to get my nerve up. But finally, I was ready and the appointment was made. I chose to have a "professional" do it using the crochet method to help speed up the "locking" process.
When I would mention to people that I wanted dreadlocks, any negative responses came because of the name and what myths or misinformation they may have associated with it. My very smart hubby suggested renaming them to "Happie-Locks" and it stuck.

Today marks two weeks since I had them done and I couldn't be happier. They have a journey of their own and it's fun to watch them change. They are a bit fuzzy now, but I like it. :) My hubby seems to like it too, which is a HUGE bonus and the biggest decision-maker or breaker. I am so thankful to have his full support. I'll probably write more about them in the future, but don't want this post to get too long. Enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask questions!
