Hey folks,

Going to update with pictures from 5 weeks.

I'm starting to realize that this is definitely going to be a longer project for me than for some.  Viewing threads from fellow beard growers makes me believe that my hair seems to grow on the slower side, which at least is easily cured with patience..but I'm still envious :P  
I took some closer pictures of my sides to highlight the patchiness, in case others coming later with similar patterns might benefit from the reference.  I'm still hopeful that with time my cheeks will develop into something I can work with. 

At 5 weeks I think I've had a pretty easy time as far as negative feedback from friends and loved ones.  Most have either not commented, or if they tease it's good-natured and brief.  My grandmother, who in her old age doesn't have a social filter anymore, is the biggest critic.  But she means well and it doesn't discourage me.

As always, comments are welcome and appreciated.
