It's getting cold outside.

I know I haven't really posted about anything very exciting in a while.. Sorry about that! But here I am finally posting about what I've been up to lately!

I graduated from freshman at hair school, so I'm not out on the floor! It's super exciting. I loved the 7 weeks that I had as a freshmen, but I'm super excited about being able to have clients and work on bettering my skills as a hair stylist! Seriously, I love hair school!!

Me and Lex on boy haircutting day

I've recently been able to hang out with my big brother Ben, and it's been so much fun! I love him :)
My new favorite thing to do is go to Applebees on Wednesday nights and play BINGO! It's so much fun, anyone can play and you don't even have to order anything to play. It's so much fun! We went with a group last week, and it was so fun! Alexa and me got bingo! It was SO exciting! 

WINNERS!

This past week at school we ran around town looking for decorations to decorate our door at school, this is me and some of my favorite TA girls shopping!


This lady at the store noticed that we were struggling because we didn't have enough money to pay for our decorations, and she so kindly gave us a 5 dollar bill! She is so sweet!!!!!

Last Saturday my ward went to Temple Square to see all the Christmas lights! It was so much fun, and so beautiful! I absolutely love Temple Square, but it's just so beautiful and amazing at Christmas time! It was amazing :)
Meet Alexa, we love each other :)

Alyson and Alexa! Pretty sure if I didn't have these girls next door, I'd die.

My really good friend, Josh! 

Horsey! 

Since it is Christmas time I decided it was necessary to decorate my apartment with decorations, so here's the final product!


Yes, I put mistletoe up at my apartment.... I'm determined to put it to use ;)

Camie Knight.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a best friend, and her name is Camie Knight. Camie and I have been best friends since 7th grade, and I couldn't have asked for a better friend! Camie is loyal, kind, funny, talented, beautiful, smart, and everything that I have ever needed in a friend. I am so incredibly thankful for theI friendship and the happiness that this girl has brought into my life. I would not be the person that I am today if she were not a part of my life. I can't wait to see where the rest of our lives take us, and how much our friendship will grow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAMIE!



Haven't changed much, have we? I love you, Camie K!

Corn Maze, Hair dying and karaoke party.

This week was pretty exciting! My ward went to a corn maze! It was super fun, and super cold! Me and my friend Alexa had lots of fun.




Next I had my first color client at school! I put a weave in my best friend Camie's hair.. It turned out great!!! I'm still loving school and excited about learning everything!!!

Also, a random picture, I made some more friends at school all because the 3 of us were randomly wearing nerd glasses one day..
Jessie is on the left, I'm in the middle and Camille is on the right. Cute huh?

My school has a Halloween party every year and we karaoke!! If anyone knows me.. They know that I absolutely LOVE karaoke. It's just the most amazing fun ever! I sang everything from Spice Girls, Shania Twain, Lady Antebellum, Beyonce and many more that I can't even remember.. It was a blast though!!!



 My class! I love them:)

America's Next Top Model, anyone??

So for Halloween this year I have decided to be a PEACOCK! So I made a tutu, and everything was on sale, so it was seriously the cheapest costume ever.. Which is totally awesome! So anyway, one of the perks of being in hair school is having awesome friends who can do cool things with hair and makeup! So I went to this dance party on Friday night and my friend Melanie did my makeup.. Oh my heck. It was incredible!! I seriously felt like I was on America's Next Top Model!! It was so much fun!! Here are a few pictures of my awesome hair, makeup and costume!!!

Funny days.

So, today the funniest thing happened and I really felt the need to tell it to the world, or just the few of you that read my blog!!

At school we had a 15 minute break and 4 of us girls drove to the gas station and got some drinks and then I realized that I really need french fries from McDonalds.. And since it's on the way back to school from the gas station we all voted and decided it was a necessary stop! So, we pulled up to the drive through window, and I shouted over my friend Alexis who was driving, and said I want a large french fries (don't worry, I was sharing!!) So after I yelled that I wanted fries and lots of ketchup (remember that phrase) the lady goes would you like to try our caramel apple whatever they are advertising at the moment, and I was like no! I want fries! So then she was like we'll have your total at the next window, but by the time she said that we were already at the next window, because we were in such a hurry to get back! Well, I gave the guy my card and I shouted that I wanted a lot of ketchup! And he was like okay.. But one thing, your card isn't working.. And I was like what?! There's no way.. I know I have money, and then he was like just kidding! It works! Phewf right? Well then we pulled up to our final destination, a.k.a the third window and the one with my fries! Well, I was clearly elated to be getting these fries! When I saw them a huge smile came on my face and I was like I want a lot of ketchup! And the guy looked at me.. Without smiling, put a HUGE handful into my bag.. and after seeing the big smile on my face proceeded to dump the WHOLE thing of ketchup into my bag!!!! He gave me SO MUCH KETCHUP!!!! It was sooo incredibly funny! We couldn't stop laughing! And of course I didn't use all the ketchup because let's be real.. That is a lot of ketchup! So I now have a grocery bag full of Mickey D's ketchup at my apartment!!


Also, as promised here is a picture of my hair, I know it's not the best most attractive picture, but hey! It's alright!!

Notice anything different??? YES! I am pretty blonde (not that you can tell in this picture) and I HAVE LONG HAIR!!! I love love love love it! I'm never cutting my hair again! Oh and, meet my friend Alexis! We are the cool kids in school :) Anyway... I hope my funny ketchup story and long hair has made your day a little brighter!

Withdrawls...

I have been off facebook for over a month now, and I think it's great! I can really tell the difference in my life! I'm getting A's in school! That's basically a first :) Haha but lately I've really been missing the whole facebook scene... I was with my best friend Camie last night and we were facebook creepin on these boys (typical) But to get to the point, I was like dang.. I kind of miss this. But I need to be strong! I told myself I wouldn't get facebook back until I get a boyfriend! Which by the looks of it right now.. Could be who knows how long. But it's okay because I'm really in no hurry to get a boyfriend, but I do miss facebook! Lame, right? Oh well.

Anyway, a little update on me! I am starting my 4th week of school! Yay!! I love it, still!! We took another test last Friday, and guess what?! I got 105% AGAIN!!! I think that's the second test that I've ever gotten an A on.. Haha But really, I've never done this well in school... I can't figure out if it's because I don't have facebook anymore, or because it's something that I actually enjoy. I think it's a little bit of both! Don't you? Tomorrow we are starting coloring!! AHH! I'm so excited for that! That's my little update on me and school! I promise next time I will post lots of pictures since this one is clearly lacking in that department. Y'all will be surprised at what my hair looks like ;)

I'm a genius!

So today at school we took our first test... And guess what?! I got 105% which means I got every question right, and the 2 extra credit questions! It sure feels good getting a good grade! I thought I would share with y'all my good grade because I'm super excited about it :)

I go to beauty school!

Well my first week of school is already done! It's so much fun that it doesn't even seem like school! All I do is play with hair all day.. And occasionally take some notes. I've made some friends! Big relief right? Haha but really, it's awesome. Here is a nice picture of me and my 3 favorite friends so far from school!

From left to right it goes Rachel, Bran, ME and Lexi! 

They are some pretty awesome girls, and make school 10 times more fun! We've been styling our mannequin heads a lot lately! I'm just gonna say that washing hair is not as easy as you would think. It takes a lot of skill to not get the person wet.. But we are working on that :) But here is a picture of me with my mannequin right after I curled her hair, with the pins still in! 

And here's the finished product! (Ignore my awkward face I'm making.. I think I was talking!)

These hair styles aren't really that exciting.. But it's fun to work on and build up some skill! Anyway.. I really love school! I also need to name my mannequin.. Any ideas? I have 2 of them.. And they are twins, so I need some twin names! Help me!! Also, if you notice I already got my bangs cut! So... next time I blog who knows what I'll have going on! :)

Daddy's brithday, and Beauty School!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD! What a wonderful man he is. I am the luckiest girl alive. My dad is the most wonderful, kind, amazing, thoughtful, smart, generous, funny, entertaining, awesome man in the whole world. Seriously, I want my future husband to be like my dad. Because no one has been through what he has, and had the same attitude as him. Wow, I'm so lucky. Seriously. I couldn't be with my dad on his birthday this year, and I was so sad! But I was thinking about him. I love my daddy so much. I'll always be his little girl!

(I know this picture isn't of me and my dad.. But isn't he just so sweet with Cozi?)

So, as a total change of subject.. I started beauty school! FINALLY! I already love it. Today was my official third day of school... And I already love all the 12 girls in my class and my instructors. It's amazing. I can't wait to post pictures of my different hairstyles that I'm going to have. Just a heads up, extensions are in the process.. I'm even donating plasma to earn money for them! I'm even greatly considering dying my hair red. Almost positive I will. I'll keep y'all posted though :) Haha I'm pretty excited.. Anyway, this post is kind of crazy and random. But you get the point right? I have an awesome dad and I love school!

(This is the main floor at my school! Isn't it beautiful?)

Once a child, always a child.

As you may remember I mentioned I was going to Disneyland with my mom and my grandma. Well... I WENT THERE! It was wonderful. I really had the best day ever. I'm going to tell about my day in a sequence of pictures, because that is always the best way!!

The trip begins, on the road to Anaheim, California! (Notice how excited I am?)
 Arrival AT Disneyland!! (Notice I'm still just as excited..)
Mom and I rode The Matterhorn together... It wasn't like when I was once a little kid. Our knees kept hitting the seat in front of me. But still, it was fun!
Next, I rode Mr. Toads Wild Ride with Grandma! I gave a huge smile because I was excited to be with my grandma! 
Next, I tried to get the sword out of the rock.. Success? Not really.(Also notice my new mickey mouse shirt!)
Then my mom and I rode the train at big thunder mountain! It's a cute picture, I'm sad I left my sunglasses on! 
By now it's lunch time and we ate at this yummy place across from Tom Sawyers Island! 
Then a couple pictures in front of the Haunted Mansion. Is it just me, or is the Mansion a LOT less scary from when we were kids?? Because I wasn't even scared! 
Next is possibly my favorite picture from the whole day. Mom and I decided to skip the lines at splash mountain and ride by ourselves! So I'm sorry that the picture isn't the greatest, but you can get the point from it. I was most definitely having the most fun of this group.
After splash mountain I waited in line for an hour to take my picture with the Princesses. And let me tell you. It was definitely worth it!!! Here are my exciting pictures with Belle, Jasmine and Tiana. 
After waiting in line for the Princesses I did the only other reasonable thing to do! I got my face painted!! (Isn't it pretty?)

Next we rode it's a small world.. I don't remember that ride being so long.. But apparently it is!
Then, mom and I rode space mountain! It was so much fun!!! (Isn't this an awesome picture?)
Then we did the Buzz Lightyear ride! This is definitely new, but it was so fun. I got to shoot all these monsters! It was awesome.
This is right before we rode splash mountain again, but together! (Don't worry, I covered my face right before the water hit us!)
Now, we did so many other things that I didn't take pictures of. But It was a perfect day! Here's a picture of me and my mom to finish off the day!

It was the BEST DAY EVER! To finish off we got In-N-Out in Santa Ana then drove back to Escondido. It was so much fun. I think I enjoyed Disneyland more as an adult rather then being a child. It was really just so much fun!
