As with every New Year, 2009 will bring many changes. I will rent a home with Mr. Spring Roll, become Mrs. Spring Roll, turn 24, and hopefully welcome a new niece or nephew (hint hint Sister Spring Roll).
Sister SR, Gavin (Sister SR’s stepson), and me on New Year’s Eve.
The biggest change thus far?
Stripping my black hair and dying it medium copper brown!
Okay, so it may not seem like a huge change, but it is to me. You see, I was a blonde (yes, me) up until six years ago. I dyed my hair black for a boyfriend that wanted me to do so. To make a long story short, he wasn’t a very good person and our relationship ended a couple of months after I dyed my hair. I liked my dark hair, but it made me feel as if he still had some sort of control over me. Regardless, it was time for change. Although it was crazy of me to change my hair color so close to our wedding, it turned out well.
Embarrassing proof that I was indeed blonde:
What changes will 2009 bring for you?

so so pretty! i love the medium brown! ps that baby pic is sooooo adorable!
Wow, I was not expecting that! It looks great!
I’ve been coloring my hair black for about nine years, and sometimes I think about going back to my natural color, but I am always scared of stripping it. How long did it take?
@Miss Taffy: It didn’t take as long as I thought it would; only a little over an hour 
Ooo I love your new hair color, it is really pretty
I know what you mean about not wanting to keep your hair black after you broke-up… I’ve gotten drastic hair cuts after two break-ups b/c they weren’t there to ask me to keep my hair long anymore.
Looks snazzy!
Haha, I kept my hair short for an ex-boyfriend - then grew it out really long after the bad breakup. I understand!
The new color looks great!!! (And you may not want to hear it - but the blond is beautiful, too!)
You can pull off all 3 colors! The copper is really nice! 
Wow!! You totally rocked the black hair for being a natural blonde. It looks like you totally rock the copper too!
That color looks so warm and pretty on you, Ms. Springroll! What a pretty ‘do to start the new year with!
You look beautiful with brown hair! I envy people like you that can go any shade! That’s so cool. Definitely loved your black hair as well… and hey you rock the blonde pretty awesomely too! Whats next… Firey red? WIll you stay this color for the wedding?
I absolutely love that new color on you!!! It turned out great!!
Did you do it at home or go to a professional? I tried stripping my hair years ago with terrible results, but I still think about it from time to time. I was a blonde too and now have very dark brown hair.
Good for you! You look beautiful and the symbolism of it (good riddance to bad ex-es!) is awesome.
The new color is Gorgeous on you (capital G). It’s a great, rich color!
baby pic sooo cute!
I feel you on the hair changing…I’m that girl who used to totally chop all her hair off everytime there was a life altering event. LoL. Lucky you to be able to go light and dark! I’m envious!
@Erin: I’m right there with you on the short/long hair!
and Spring Roll, I think it’s lovely! Props to you for having the guts to do it!
I have wanted to do this for sooOoOo long… what product(s) did you use to remove the color??
@Mrs. Penguin: I wish I could pull off Firey red For now, I am going to stay with this color.
@ckonkle: I went to the salon; it took a little over an hour to remove the black.
@angela: I had my hair stripped at the salon
