I took that picture about a year ago. I cut my hair pretty short afterwards (I know) and so far this is what I've got.

Well to my untrained eye it appears you are back where you were before you cut it.
Good luck growing it out of the awkward stage.
My hair hits the end of my neck now where it before hit my collar bone, and thanks for the encouragement :]
Good progress
You don't look too far away from your goal :)
