Catching Up

Well, this past week has been great! In school this week we did lots of fun things. We started learning how to cut hair. We did layers and boy cuts and then we had to bring in actual people to do haircuts on. I brought in Kaleb and gave him a mullett! It was sweet! I took a picture but you really can't tell in the picture I took. He doesn't style it himself so now it's just a big poof ball again. haha My friend Jill from work came in too, and I just took a few inches off of her and gave her a lot more layers and swoop bangs. Girls hair is so much easier than boys! Then we also got our eyebrows and eyelashes tinted and then waxed our eyebrows and noses! haha that was pretty cool. :) Anyway, yesterday I went to my great friend Cassandra's bridal shower! It was lots of fun! We played some really cool games. Like, trying to scoop condoms with a spoon into a mug on top of our head while blindfolded. It was hilarious to watch. And then we also had a Boob Cake! HAHAHA! here is a picture of Cassandra and the cake (yes, there are tassels on them. ;):

I am doing really well and life is awesome. Just really busy! I am really hoping I can buy a new laptop soon. A little bit of me dies each day that I don't have my music and pictures and everything. I went miniature golfing last night with a bunch of friends. It was really fun but I really suck. :) I got the worst score of the group! ;) haha but I love my friends. They are such a blessing in my life. I think there was something else I wanted to tell you all, but can't think of it now. If I remember I will let you know! Happy Mother's Day! Here is my amazing mother who has sacrificed so much for me and my family. I don't know where I would be without her. She is my hero

A Little Help From My Friends

Hey Hey! So I finished another week of school and I am still LOVING IT! We learned about spray on tanning, deep conditioning, round brush blow drying, AND actually started cutting hair! It was so exciting!! We only worked on the perimeters (the baseline of your hair), trying out straight lines and curved where it's shorter in the front, longer in the back.....okay, I will stop. I don't want to bore all of you with every little detail I am learning...haha I am just so happy! We are gonna be bringing in real people to class with us this week to do haircuts on them! I will definitely tell you how all that goes! Hopefully I don't botch up my friends hair too much. Other than that, life is awesome! I am super busy but that is good. I have amazing friends who are always there for me and had a great time last night playing games with people who I have missed spending time with and just having fun. :)

I can't wait for summer! It snowed here yesterday....booo.....but today is super nice and I can't wait to not have to wear my jacket, to be able to wear flip flops and short sleeves and go swimming. I can just feel that this is gonna be a great year! I want to make a visit to Vegas and Arizona and maybe even Disneyland if I am lucky!

Changes

My first week of school is done and am starting the second! I am loving every second of it. We got to put rollers in our mannequin heads to make them really curly and then we had to come up with our own "up do". I am not gonna lie...mine was kinda sucky. It would have been better if we had more time and I got to use fun things like flowers or jewels. But it was just a practice so we could get a feel with the curls and stuff. Tonight we are doing finger waves on each other! If you don't know what finger waves our (don't worry, I didn't know until last week when we learned about them :), they are kind of like 1940ish style curls, they are popular in all the fashion magazines right now, and here is a picture of an example:

So maybe I will take a picture of mine tonight! HAHA Anyway, other than that, Jared and I have broken up. He has moved to Utah to start life there, living with his brother. I am really excited for him and happy that he can go to school down there and have lots of fun! As for me, I am staying busy with school, and work, working out, and have been blessed with awesome friends and family! Sometimes life doesn't go the way you planned or thought it would go. But, there are lessons in everything, and I am a much better person because of those lessons I learned with Jared.

Well, I gotta go to school. I am doing well and loving life. Just taking things as they come! What a beautiful Spring Day! :)

School

Well I have gotten through the first two days of class and so far they have been AWESOME! There are 7 of us girls in the freshman class and they are so great. We have really bonded super fast. That's a good thing since we will be together so many hours of the day for the next 12 months! :) I was afraid I was gonna be the oldest one there, but I am not! There is a girl who is 25. The others are 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23! Yesterday we just went over the rules. Today we got our bags, hats, shirts, and jackets! I feel so official! Yet I think I will feel even more official once we get our kits with all our brushes and scissors and everything. :) Its so EXCITING! We learned about sanitation and how to do consultations with our clients and watched the movie "My Date with Drew". Tomorrow we get to do scalp treatments on each other!!!! I am seriously so excited about all of it and can't wait to go to class the next day! I am so happy!! Sorry if this feels like I am screaming at you all, I don't mean to! haha Anyway, just wanted to let you know that things are really good and I feel super good about this choice and feel at home there. Yay. Here is a picture of me with my hat and my jacket on! Yes, I know it's a little cheesy.

A Dream Come True

Hi everyone! I am home sick today....I have actually been feeling ill since Tuesday and been hoping this would all be gone by now, but it hasn't. I have spent a lot of time in my bed this week. Not really done a whole lot other than sleep or work. And right now as I finish up eating some soup and am in between naps, I should catch you all up on some exciting news! I am going to be starting Cosmetology School on Monday!!! I have wanted to do this my whole life and have been putting it off and putting it off, mainly cause I am just scared to go back to school. I have enjoyed the no homework, free nights thing, but I think this will be a little different and I think I will LOVE IT! It kind of happened super fast. I have been debating on whether I should do it here, or go down to utah to do it or what. But Wednesday on my lunch break, a thought came into my head of, "Megan, just check to see when the next class starts here in Idaho Falls." So I got online and it said, April 19th! So I immediately got on the phone, called the owner of the school and got it all figured out! I figured out my financial aid, filled out the school application and took it over there, and sorted out my work schedule! All in a matter of a few days and now I am gonna start on Monday! Sometimes we just gotta jump even if we are scared. So we all know what this means. I am gonna be here in Idaho Falls for at least another year. But that is all right with me! I need to take advantage of this time where I am rent-less, baby-less, brain-less (jk ;) and fulfill my dream! I am nervously excited but I think it will be really great. The people who love me have been so supportive of me and encouraging me to do what makes me happy and I am grateful for them who have helped me! I will definitely keep you posted on how it's all going and I might need some people to practice on so let me know if you are willing! :) Once I am done with that dream, I can start on my next one of photography! haha gotta love goals

I just wanted to say that I love my life. Yesterday was full of many things I love. Playing tennis with my favorite person Jared. I know that he wasn't as excited as I was to play, but he trudged through and hit many balls over the fence for me to go get. I got a massage to get all of my HUGE knots out of my neck and back. I wish I could get a massage every week. I think my body NEEDS and DESERVES that kind of treatment. :) I put my sweats on and watched a movie while eating a whole package of reese's. I rented Old Dogs. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. But I still enjoyed myself. I then went to bed at a decent hour and got lots of good sleep!

I am in love with that new song by Katy Perry and.......Who? Justin Bieber? No....ugh. Can't remember right now....but I LOVE IT!

Stephanie and I saw "Date Night" saturday night. It was hilarious!! I love both Tina Fey and Steve Carell. They were perfect together!

Well, I gotta get back to work! I will write more soon!

Easter Weekend

So I think it's finally time that I post about my Easter weekend! It was such a blast! I drove down to Provo Thursday morning....my family thought I was coming on Friday but I got work off and went down a day early and surprised them! It was a very good April Fool's. :) We spent the day hanging out, playing with Ryder, shopping, and eating lots of good food. Friday was spent pretty much the same way, just spending time with family is always a good thing! Saturday morning we got up and started watching General Conference. Jared was driving down that morning with his parents who were stopping in Ogden for a conference, so I drove up to Ogden and picked him up. We got back in town and ate lunch at Brick Oven (gotta love their root beer! ;) and headed over to go bowling! Jared and my mom have been telling each other that they could beat each other in bowling, so this was their chance to see who the ultimate bowler was. Doug, Beth, and I were there pretty much to be laughed at. The first game was pretty close. Jared wanted to let my mom win since it was her birthday, but I told him to give her some good competition! And it was good competition. But by the second game, my mom wasn't able to bowl as well cause her neck was bothering her and so it was pretty much just Jared creaming us all. But it was still lots of fun! After that Jared and Doug headed over to the priesthood session while us girls played with the baby and made dinner that we ate when the boys got back.

For any of you who have never heard of the game "Ticket to Ride", get with the program and play it!! Its loads of fun! So we played a round of that and had lots of fun. I then went with Jared over to his hotel where his entire family and I watched "The Blind Side" in the main lobby! It was great! We pushed all the couches together and the guy at the front desk let us put in a movie on their big screen. I of course fell asleep, but hey I always enjoy sleeping!

Well, the next day was Easter! And guess what, we woke up to like a foot of snow! In April! We definitely had a white easter!

haha But the Easter Bunny still visited us and it was another great day. General Conference of course! I had tickets to the afternoon session, so Jared and I left after the morning session and headed up to Salt lake! I was really worried we weren't gonna make it in time. It was my first time going and I was super excited so I didn't want it to get ruined by being late. But have no fear, Jared is an excellent fast driver (but also safe!) and we made it in record time. :) Our parking spot rocked and it was such an exciting thing seeing all those people at the center, people giving free hugs, jared knowing people everywhere we go, and getting some pretty good seats. (you can't really tell how good they are by this picture.)

The session was wonderful and it was so much fun to be able to experience that finally! After living in Provo for 5 years I never went and it took me moving to Idaho to finally go! :) When we got back in town Jared had to say goodbye cause he was going back home.

Kenny came and had Easter Dinner with us :)

I stayed in Provo till Tuesday morning so I spent the next couple days watching movies, playing more games, eating lunch with Haylee (it was so good to see her! everytime I go down there it's so hard for us to be able to see each other so it was so nice to finally see her and david again!), going shopping and eating dinner at Chili's with Sarah, and remembering how much I miss Utah! It was a very successful weekend.
