Life

Hey there everybody! So I realized that I haven't really talked about my life or what's been going on for a while...But I don't have a computer so it's really hard to keep updated! But I have been given a chance today so I am gonna take it! So....what's been going on you ask?

Well, of course, School is happening right now. It is totally awesome and I love it so much! I feel so happy as I am cutting someone's hair, or helping them decide how they should color it, or learning what items I need to have in my closet at all times are, or painting a little girls nails. It is such a blessing for me to be able to be doing this right now. I have just a little over 600 hours and need 2000 to graduate, so I am moving right along! :) Here is a picture that I have of the model I did last week to make her look like a Pin Up girl. It's not a very good picture though...I should have better ones soon!

Work. I really don't have much to say about that because, well it's just work. I work 5 days a week and go to school 5 days a week so my life is pretty crazy.

My new apartment. I don't know if you all know this, but I moved out into my own apartment! I am living with a girl from school. We have an itty bitty two bedroom, one bathroom apartment that is so little and cute. It's lots of fun! My roommate's name is Heather and she is way cute and we have lots of fun together. Maybe sometime I will get a picture up here of us. Just maybe....;)

I have my good friend Jon who has been an awesome workout buddy! He comes to the gym as soon as I get off around 9pm each night and we workout between 1 to 2 hours together. I need great motivation and he totally makes it happen for me. So, now you are thinking that because we workout 4 days a week that I have turned into this totally skinny hot girl, right? Well, you are wrong. I may workout regularly, which is awesome and totally helps my stress level and helps me feel good, but I LOVE food. I love eating and am a huge emotional eater. I eat when I am sad, when I am bored, when I am happy, when I am socializing. It's just what I do and I wish I could be better and not be like that. But its really hard cause food tastes so good. haha :) So if I could get that under control then we could see some really amazing results!

Nothing else is really going on. Just busy busy! I leave on Wednesday to go to California though! I am so excited! I am flying into Sacramento and then will drive down to the Bay area for Sarah's wedding in Oakland! Its gonna be awesome! I will definitely let you know how it goes!

Well it's time for a nap. Hopefully I will be on here again really soon! Happy Sunday!

PHOTO SHOOT

HEY! I finally got my pictures from the Photo Shoot! Here are some of my faves! :)

Pictures

I did a photo shoot this past week at school. We had to pick our own theme, find a model, do their hair and makeup, then take the pictures ourselves. I have a whole lot more, but this is one I took from my phone. When I get others I will post them, but here is just a little taste!

Hair!

I just wanted to show you all what we learned in school yesterday. Crazy updos! It was super fun and I am so excited to learn a whole lot more styles. But my hair was really big and it took a lot of bobbie pins and lots of combing when I tried taking it out last night. It was really cool! :)Other than that, life is good. I have been super busy. I am moving up to the senior class next week which is really crazy but am super excited. It will be good to get more clients and more experience!

My ward went up to Island Park last weekend which was awesome. We had a good steak dinner, played games, had an amazing fireside and stayed up late telling embarrassing stories around the campfire. The next day we ate lots of fritter toast (YUMMY!) and then floated down the river. And NO I did NOT fall out of the raft this time! Haha if I had fallen out, it would have been really sad cause the river was so very slow. :) But I got a good tan and had a blast with my friends.

Its also sad to say that I got a speeding ticket the other night. The Idaho Falls cops have been on my tail the past week pulling me over twice for having a headlight burned out and then finally on Monday got pulled over for speeding. It was rough. I really didn't think I was even going THAT fast, and his car wasn't even marked! But whatev. Guess it was meant to be. HAHA

One more week and I will be going down to Provo to throw Sarah's bridal shower! I am super excited!

Eclipse

Here is a picture FINALLY from when we went and saw ECLIPSE! It was so much fun! The three of us have seen all three midnight premieres together and I can't wait till Breaking Dawn! I loved the movie. Yes, they are super cheesy, but they still have a special place in my heart. :) I have to leave right now to go up to Island Park for the weekend! Going on a trip with my branch to have fun, raft down the river, and eat steak! Have a good one!

Life as We Know It

First of all, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! What a crazy yet relaxing yet tiring yet fun weekend! Haha Also, I found those pictures I was telling you about last time! They just magically appeared back in my phone! I don't know what happened last time. Maybe you all weren't meant to see them yet. You had to prepare yourself for what is about to happen next.......here they are....My weekend was good! All last week we worked on our float for the parade. It took a lot of time, a lot of work, a lot of patience, but it all worked out and it was awesome. We had to be at school at 4am yesterday. Friday night I made the choice to not go to sleep at all. It was kind of stupid, but totally worth it cause I had a blast with my friends! We went out to eat and then went to these caves just outside of town. They are so cool! We played glow in the dark hide and go seek down there. That is where you open a bunch of glow sticks and spray the insides all over yourselves and all over the rocks and walls in the cave. Then you turn off your flashlights and go for it! If you lay down on the rocks or stand against the walls, the person who is it has a hard time seeing you and can't tell if you are a rock or a person! It was sweet! We then went back to our friend Casey's house and watched a movie. I was so tired and fell asleep for a second but then was awake and alert until I had to be at school! Our float was Super Hero themed, my group was in charge of Wonder Woman. Here are the pics from that day. The first one is everyone in the school trying to get everything ready. Had to do the makeup and hair of all of our models! It was out of control!

The parade was over at about 12:30pm, and I had to go to work right after that. So I worked until 7, ate a burger and then CRASHED! I had absolutely no energy. So I decided to skip out on the fireworks, took a Tylenol PM and went to bed. And today I feel like it was definitely the better choice. I feel a lot better today.

More exciting news, I am being moved up to Senior class at school in a couple weeks! I have only been there 11 weeks and already being moved up! Usually it doesn't happen till you have at least 900 hours! I only have like 300 something, but the owner said I will do just fine and wants to move me, so I guess I should take that as a compliment right?? :) I am super excited.

Ummm.....can't really think of anything else worth writing about...........OH! I am going to be an aunt again!!!!!!! Bethany is pregnant again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for them! Congratulations Beth and Doug! I might just have to move down to Vegas and help you out with all your little babies. :) Well, happy 4th guys! Gotta go get ready to go to a BBQ!

:)

Guess what?? I am still alive!! I bet you all have been wondering and I know it's been WAY too long since you have heard from me! But it really sucks not having a computer.....who knows when I will be able to get a new one or try to get mine fixed....money always causes problems!

Anyway, I have been doing super super well! Really busy with school, learning something everyday and LOVING every minute of it! I seriously love where I am at right now and am so happy I am doing something that I LOVE! I took a bunch of pictures the other day when we were learning about movie/theater makeup but when I went on my phone tonight, they were gone! I have no idea what happened. We learned how to do bruises and cuts and burns with makeup and wax. Then we learned how to do VAMPIRE bites and WEREWOLF scratches! WHY?? Because we did them on people last night right before the ECLIPSE MIDNIGHT PREMIERE! It was AWESOME! So much fun to help people get all dressed up and excited for the movie. I just love the atmosphere. I have gone to both Twilight and New Moon midnight premieres with Stephanie and Monica and we went again last night to Eclipse. It was just great. I am WAY tired today, but totally worth it. :)

Last weekend I went white water rafting with some friends for Jordyn's birthday and it was awesome as well! I just love going up to her cabin and we went with some awesome friends and had a good time on the river. I did get thrown in again. Ugh. Just like last year. I dont' know why it keeps happening to me. But it did. It was a little scary at first, but they were able to save me don't worry! I don't have pictures, but if you go to this link, you can see the pictures the pros took! All 3 different rafts were my whole group...see if you can find me! :)
