New Man in my Life


Let's play a game.....see if you can guess what's missing in this picture. It probably isn't too hard to spot. Sunday morning I got up and left for church and everything was perfectly normal. After sacrament meeting and Sunday school, I left and went to meet Mark and Alysa at his church. When I walked in, he looked totally different. We were in public, so I didn't know how to react.....I was in total shock. Apparently Alysa didn't like the change at all. When he walked into the kitchen, where she was eating breakfast, she took one look at him and ran up stairs crying. She wouldn't look at him or have anything to do with him for a good while. She's relaxed now but still doesn't like it. I'm still getting use to it too. This is the first time he's been without a mustache in over 20 years so neither of us has ever seen him without it. I've been trying to get him to shave it off for years, so I could see what he looked like without it. But he said he'd do it when I least expected it. Apparently, a few weeks or so ago I told him he would NEVER do it and he considered that a challenge. And because Mark doesn't like to be challenged, he followed through. Reverse psychology? I'll never tell. I thought this absolutely warranted a blog post.
