Change We Can Believe In

Over the course of my love affair with my good man, I have kissed and cuddled various hairy incarnations.

When I first saw him on LDS Link-up (Something we are only now finding more endearing than horrifying) he looked like this:

Then when he came out to Denver to meet me (I mean fall in love with me) he looked like this:
When we got married he looked like this:Some could have argued I was a sucker for false advertising because after embracing his inner mountain-man (and some said unibomber) he looked like this:
He joined the ranks of the New York fashion-forward like this:

And now after being called to work in the temple and observe missionary grooming standards he thought about it for a minute:
And then he looked like this:Then this:Until he finally looked like this: I have loved him through all his transitions, but have to admit that I had forgotten how much I love his face.

Whoooo! Looking sharp! I prefer the "face" look too, but maybe that is because I was forced into it? Kyle can't grow much of any type of facial hair.

Dad Risser said...

The man of a thousand faces. He sure looks different in all of them. Can't wait to seed you both in two days.

Dad Risser said...

That is....see you both.

Wow, mountain man picture is quite...impressive?

Kristy said...

Very nice!
Now if only there were pictures of the many outfits of GK :)
Who can forget the classics like the mesh half shirt and tiny running shorts!
I don't know anyone else who could pull all of those looks off!

I love it. Everytime Andy shaves his beard, we go through a James Hetfield to Hitler before we get to Andy.

At least you knowt that he can pull off all kinds of looks, some better then others but still he pulls them off.

MARTHA said...

Love all the looks. You're a good boy....uh...temple worker.

Ned & I thoroughly enjoyed that post…it seemed like a flash back of the many faces of GK, but it hasn’t been that long…I guess Ned isn’t the only man out there who can grow a full “face” of hair over night.

I hadn't seen GK's face in awhile and it's always interesting to me (the old auntie) to see bit of your Dad in your face... things I didn't see when you were younger or hidden behind facial hair. Of course your Dad is usually behind the facial hair as well. I thought the mountain man look was a little Ted Kaczynski meets Elton John. No?

Jamie said...

Well hello friend and wifey. It's so nice to see your face! Maybe Suz will post some of her too - except hopefully minus all the facial hair!

Unknown said...

Oh snap. I can't believe he's been face scalped. This incarnation of G.K. seems wrong. I won't believe it until I see it.

Maybe it's because I need some facial hair to believe in as mine comes in slow and chin-strappy.

A boo-hoo for me.
