I had a wonderful week. I really did. It was so nice to have some time off from school and to be able to just get some r&r. I came back from San Diego with not enough hours to get my license here in Utah so I am currently finishing those hours at Renaissance academy. I will hopefully be taking my state test next month and cramming hours in so I will not go any further than January in school. I will be celebrating big time the day that I am finished with school. I can not wait to get out into a salon and start working! I love love love what I do. I love meeting new people and it is the best feeling when I am finished with a client and they look in the mirror and I can tell that they just feel beautiful. I am really the happiest right now when I have someone in my chair and I can make them feel pretty. It is very fulfilling. anyway, back to my week. It was a week full of family & feasting. what is better than that?? .. I ate way too much but oh well right? it was well worth it. We spent thanksgiving at my moms house with her side of the family. It was great to see all of them. Dad was missed but in one week from today my two sisters & I (and baby nephew) will be flying to Florida to visit for a week! woo!! I can hardly wait. I just love it there.

it's a wonderful life..

I want to talk about something that has been on my mind lately. Someone told me once that they think that I may expect too much out of life. Expect too much from the people around me, expect too much in general. That someone also told me that I am expecting a "Cinderella story." and that that doesn't exist and I need to stop thinking it's going to be like that and just settle for what real life is. sad huh? I have really been thinking about this a lot lately. For some time I was questioning myself and trying to figure out if I really do expect too much out of life. And then it dawned on me. I do expect a lot out of life. I do see my life being very blissful and I see myself one day happily married with a family and striving to do what is right. Do I see myself escaping the hardships of life and never having difficult days? no. But does anyone? I feel like I am going to get what I want out of life, because I am going to make it good. so far in my life, I have not had it SO easy all of the time. I have had my fair share of hard times and challenges but when I look back on my life I really do feel like I have been so extremely blessed and I see the happy times and when I think of the hard times, I see them making me so much stronger. So when I think about my future and that person telling me that I expect this "Cinderella story"... you know what PERSON, I do. & I am going to get it. Cinderella did not have it easy always. & neither will I. but if she can have a happy ending, so can I. I think that in this life we will get what we want out of it. If we want to be happy, we will be happy. Today I am promising myself, that I will never forget what I deserve, and never settle for less.
xoxo.
