Believe it and it will grow! Before and After

It's been a lot of fun seeing and reading members before and after photo posts in Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, contest for October - Before and After 2018 update your profile challenge.

 

 

 

I've been thinking about what I want to do and then I saw Carol Williams post. She is trying to grow her hair out and took a photo of the back of her head so we could see her progress. Well that idea was was very - very clever! My profile has been up for 5 years or so so why not have some fun with this!

 

All of a sudden I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the challange! I've been thinking about having long blonde hair. And Gary, my trusty side-kick said hey I want long hair too! So we decided to do it together.

 

And let me tell you it was a blast finding just the right hair, hats and clothing to match!

 

Once our new 'look' was in place we decided to go out to a few local places where people know us well.  LOL. They couldn't believe it! Everyone was laughing so hard and said - hey I want to have a new look too! So you see Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, you may have just started a new fad. At least in my neck of the woods.  Thanks for the fun!

Anna now sounds like it was a blast.  I bet the people you know had as much fun seeing you guys like that as you did dressing up

George Souto it was really fun! They didn't know it was us at first - but laughed so hard when they figured it out.  I'm sure they thought - who the heck are these weirdos!!

My goodness Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886, I'm laughing so hard. Love the look. I find long hair easier to manage than short, just a ponytail, out the door I go.

Beth Atalay I hear you about long hair. I used to feel that way too until I went short about 20 years ago. Now growing it out isn't an option. But wearing this goofy wig is from time to time!

I've been waiting for you to participate, and you didn't let me down! You and Gary look terrific, you have your Halloween costumes now, too. I love that you got dressed up and went out on the town. You'll definitely be ready for Halloween. ;-)

OMG, I love you two! How fun is that?! You know what I love? - That Gary goes for it...he's all in! Most hubbies would just poo-poo the idea.

Love that you've got your sphere wanting in on the fun too, Anna! You could host a FB contest for the 'best ghoulish' or 'creepiest costume' or 'cutest fall' change-it-up photo! How fun would that be?!

Debe Maxwell, CRS he wasn't always this way - totally engineer brain way back when. We both were involved in a Leadership program for years first as students then staff. It's there that he figured out how to have fun and live life to the fullest.  BTW I'm not on FB right now - done with those guys till they clean up their act.
