Catching up

Hoookay. So it's only been about 200 years since I've posted on here. Alright, so maybe that's a slight exagerration, but honestly, I kinda completely forgot about it. My good friend Courtney Cook reminded me about it, so here I am.

To catch up, as this post is titled, I'm currently living in Provo going to the Paul Mitchell School. I'm loving every minute of it. It's kinda stressful sometimes but it's really something I love to do. I've done a little bit of everything now, although I'm already bored with long hair and layers. Apparently it's the official Utah hair style. I guess I shouldn't judge, it's only the hair style I had for oh i don't know...5 years? Ya, no room to talk. I got to do a super cute long A-line with blunt bangs on a cute pregnant girl the other day though and I loved it! It was fun to do something different. The school is amazing, anyone thinking about this industry should really consider it. We have amazing teachers (ahem..learning leaders) that are so helpful. One of them, Brittany, gave a theory class the other day that made me BAWL. Like a baby. Those who know me, know that doesn't happen often. She shared a really touching story about losing a dear friend. She went on to tell us to appreciate the little things in life, not to let the little petty things bother you, and making sure the people you love know it. It really touched me and reminded me of a lot of things people forget pretty often. She showed a video at the end and one of the quotes was "Life isn't fair, but it is good." I've had to remind myself of that a lot beacause it has been one hell of a week. Everything that probably could go wrong has. Fights with family and friends, money stresses, and then to top it all off, I locked myself out of my room yesterday. Yes, I'm an idiot. Yes, I tried for about 5 hours to pick the lock myself. Someone please explain to me why there are CHILDREN on Youtube that can figure this out, but I for some reason, can not. Yes, it costs $50 dollars to have a locksmith come to your apartment when it takes him all of 5 seconds to open it. Thank sweet heaven that I have a wonderful father to was willing to calm me down when I called him crying tears of frustration by offering to pay for his moronic child's smart move. And yes, in case you were all wondering, my roommate's door key would have opened my door the whole time. Talk about an angry me. It's a good thing my wonderful boyfriend is willing to deal with me and attempt to cheer me up by feeding me strawberries and bananas (my favorite) and chocolate ice cream. I plan on keeping him around. He knows what's up. Hopefully things will start getting a little better, although a little part of me is nervously looking around when I'm outside hoping I don't get hit by a meteor or something. (I kid, I kid...sort of..)

Random fact, I'm super excited that I am now living next to a couple cousins, the only ones I have close to my age, who I've never been able to spend much time with because they've always lived in Cedar City. There's Ashley, who's recently married to Joe, and they're really fun. Then Jameson, who's moving here tomorrow, who was called "funny guy" by my little sister when we were little. Ashley came into the school the past week and we colored her hair a really pretty coppery auburn and cut it cute, luckily her husband was pleased and I'm allowed to do her hair from now on. Hooray! It's going to be really fun to spend time with them.

Anyway, I'm loving my life with school, friends, and my boy, struggles and all. This blog will consist of my life and school stories, pictures of random stuff and hopefully some to showcase my growing skills.

Have a lovely day :)
