Top Ten Reasons I Shaved My Head

10. I had a bad hair day.

9. I wanted to know what it was like to be High Priest

8. I walked into the Sports Clips, took a look at my barber, and remembered the last time she "cut" my hair. I decided it would hurt less if I cut it all off now.

7. I wanted less wind resistance when I run.

6. Less time to get ready every day as I no longer need to shampoo and condition or comb hair.

5. To surprise Brittany when she returned from St. Louis.

4. People keep accusing me of looking like a lawyer. Now I look like a collections agent.

3. Who needs hair anyway? Jean Luc Picard doesn't.

2. I like the way my head feels when shaved.

1. Its summer time!

Daniel B. said...

Britt just stared for a couple minutes...and she keeps saying that she's not sure she recognizes me. Her sister says it makes me look "not as nerdy."

Kevin did that a month and a half after we got married early in the morning. I loved his cute curly hair. Lets just say I didn't just marry him for his hair, but boy it was dorky. He has never done it again, but so wishes he could. You kind of look like my brother.

(This is Joseph) Ok Dan, I've always wanted to shave my head just once for the heck of it but I never really had the guts to go through with it. Way to go! Now perhaps that I am officially a commissioned officer I could do it for the express purpose of allowing my beret to fit more securely ;)

Meet Daniel and Brittany

The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.

Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.

After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.

Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
