Barrett, I finally did it! Or, Johnmark would be so proud. Or, because I know you hate it when I don't smile in my pictures.

I finally grew a beard.  Sort of.  As much as I could handle anyway.  Here's the progression:

Week one (weak one)

Week Two (front and side) - I liked this length the best.  If I had to keep it, I'd keep it trimmed to this length.

Week Three (up close and scary!)

Finally!

In case you are wondering, yes, that's a new hoodie I'm wearing above.  Gotta love Christmas!  Can't wait until tomorrow morning so I can go running with Jorge and be reminded of how cold a north wind is at 8 in the morning at the end of December.  :)
