EXTRA! EXTRA!

WOW.... that about sums up the day! I'm completely over-whelmed right now, or in shock... I haven't quite decided yet! Probably both....

So here is the "play-by-play"...I stayed at my mom's in Kaysville last night. I don't know why I keep doing this on Sunday nights because I have class in Logan at 8:30. The class is Writing and it's by far my favorite class right now. I had forgotten how much I really love to write and just how healing it can be! (I just had a spider come crawling across my keyboard and nearly threw my laptop out the window. It was this little brown creepy thing. Pretty sure it was plotting an attack on my fingers. Which would have most likely killed me. I smashed him with my glass of water, then threw up a little) So writing, it is fantastic. Which leads me to my first big news of the day, it's now my major. What I'm doing with it.... I haven't quite decided, but I'm so excited about this! Dream JOB: Writing for a magazine. I realize how much talent and luck it takes to get a magazine job though, Luck being a key factor, the right recognition and knowing the right people. If I haven't fallen upon any such luck at the end of my BA program, I'll go to graduate school in marketing instead of writing. It's a win-win situation and I feel so confident about it right now. We'll see what tomorrow brings! 
BIG NEWS number two! My mom is for sure moving back to California. I'm not ready to think about this so that's all I'm saying. I'm being selfish for the night. I'll be happy for them tomorrow. 
After a few hours at work I had a phone call from one of my  best friends and she is getting 
MARRIED!!  I couldn't be happier for her! (I'm not saying who this is until she has had a chance to spread the news on her own.) If anyone deserves so much happiness though, it's this girl! That's not even the best part, okay maybe it's the best part, but there is this other really great part! I am going to be her maid-of-honor! I'm completely honored to fulfill this duty. Plus, I'm going to throw the best Bachelorette Party ever! Ladies... prepare yourselves. 
Okay, good news, bad news (well bad for me), good news.... I hate just bad news, so this one is a combination. Phat Lashes is closing. Well... merging with Valhalla. I have the option though, if I want to "merge" or take my clientele and move to another salon/spa. Valhalla is sounding like the right choice and front-runner right now. This is a BIG change. I had no idea until tonight. I'll give more details when I know them. 
I'm leaving this slightly open-ended tonight.... I'm exhausted and the day went from 7:00am-10:00pm before I actually made it home and allowed this all to sink in. I actually don't think any of it has sunk in yet. It's all fighting to though and we can hope it does before too long! 

Goodnight peeps! ....and yes I just called you all peeps.

Hello World!

       So I'm Blogging! I'm not really sure why... And I'm not going to make any promises about how much I will update. But I like to write from time to time, and it seems like blogging is almost required if you are a mother in Utah, which I am! Well sort of, I'm one pair of diamond studded jeans, an interchangeable purse and military style hat away from being a Utah mom! (you can most likely expect a lot of off key thoughts like this popping up) For those of you who have been out of the loop on Presley and I, lets play catch up! 
     Now... where to begin. I'm now 21, (22 in April) and Miss Presley is now 2, some days she's VERY 2. (3 in July.) I am currently working in Logan at Phat Lashes-yes phat with a P-H -as an esthetician. I make women feel pretty, I love my job. I am also a student at USU, mostly because whenever a survey asks for my occupation "Esthetician" isn't listed. "Student" however is, and I didn't feel like changing occupations (yet) so I'm an Aggie! Majoring in Marketing, with an emphasis in design. I'm hoping to do advertising in the interior design industry, actually any industry. I actually love school, it doesn't always love me back, but so far it has been great!  

On to the princess, and she is a princess just ask her!
 

       This kind of sums her up, she's amazing! She's the funniest, cutest, sweetest, naughtiest, craziest, lovable, loud, playful, cuddliest, did I mention cutest? Little girl ever! I now understand that old mom cliche about children being, "the light of their world." She really is mine. She will most likely be the source of most posts, as she tends make my best stories. And that's about it for us! Okay a few photos for February so far and then I'm done!

       Presley's Hair had grown down to the middle of her back. And between the natural curl, and the fact that she wouldn't let me do it, it was completely out of control! So we chopped it all off! I took her to cookie cutters in Ogden, we had so much fun! If you have a small child I highly recommend taking them here! The girls in my salon do an amazing job, but Princess Presley usually gets frustrated mid-haircut and attempts to throw combs, spray bottles, scissors, anything she can get her hands on really, at the girls. (Those are the days when she is very 2.) This is why we decided to try something different and it worked! She picked out a movie to watch, sat in a little car instead of a chair, played on a jungle gym, and received a lollipop. OH, and a BOB! :)

 

The next day was Valentines Day! And we made the most delicious Cup Cakes! (We also made cookies, brownies, and fantastic pasta! But I only got cupcake pictures.)

   

That's all for now!
