Guess What ya'll!

I did sew in extensions for the first time EVER today! 

I thought they turned out great. They don't really go into depth when they teach us extensions, we all just know that the sew in extensions exist without knowing how to do them. Thank goodness I have had them put in enough to know what it felt like, and how to do it. At first I was nervous when I saw them on the ticket, but after she sat down and I started corn rowing, it was easy breezy. I finished them in 3 hours (I thought that was awesome for my first time) and I didn't have anyone help me the entire time. I am just beaming with pride! 

Want These!

These are the cutest shears ever! I want them :)

Advancement.

As of today I have 1,153 hours! 

AND....As of yesterday I was given ADVANCEMENT!!!! :)

Here is what that means:

Once you have 500 hours left in school you can apply to be an advanced student.

When a student has reached 1500 hours (or in my case 1150) and has successfully completed all level 2

testing, they may apply for advancement based on:

• DEPENDABILITY

• RESPONSIBILITY

• MOTIVATION

• INCREASED TECHNICAL SPEED

• ABILITY TO OBTAIN REPEAT CLIENTS

• DISPLAY OF PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE AND CONDUCT AT ALL TIMES.

• MEETING ALL TERMS OF SATISFACTORY PROGRESS POLICY IN ATTENDANCE, THEORY, AND PRACTICAL WORK.

Advance students will receive a free student service every month and may wear black and white clothing.

I no longer need to get a start when I do a hair cut, I just do a consultation and start. 

Today was my first day wearing white and I was super excited about it. :)

 I must say, I am feeling rather proud of myself. 

Utah Trip

Over the weekend I was able to take some time off of school and travel to utah for my adopted little sister's wedding. It was so amazing to take some time to myself and see good friends that I haven't seen in forever! Here are some photo's from my trip. 

First day of the trip, I stopped in Chubbuck Idaho to see beautiful miss Kaylee :) I couldn't drive right by her and not stop to say hello. My original plan was to stop for a couple of hours and then continue on to Logan to stay with my cousin Capri. On the drive in that direction I was informed that Capri wasn't feeling well so I had to alter my plan a little. So I was able to stay the night with Kaylee instead. We hung out for a little bit, then went out to chili's for dinner. I haven't been to a chili's in almost a year so that was nice. The next morning we got up and hung out again for a little bit before I continued my journey to Utah. 

 Adorable Kayden is always a delight to see!  

Look at this Blonde Bombshell! I love her :) She just did a 12 week Challenge at the gym and she lost 32 pounds total! I am so proud of her, she looks amazing!

The next day I continued to Logan for the rehearsal of the wedding. Jerri got us a suite at the Hilton Inn so we could do wedding prep. The venue of her wedding was stunning, it's called Castle Manor In Logan utah...I mean look at this place...

We did a rehearsal at the venue, and then they took us to Olive Garden for the dinner. Everyone knows that I am not an Italian food fan, so I enjoyed a nice soup and salad :) After the dinner, we went back to the hotel suite and put together the table center pieces, fixed the wedding song playlist, I tweezed Jerri's eyebrows, and just did some de-stressing. It was a nice quiet evening. The next morning we were up at 6 starting the wedding preparation, and our suite was a mess lol it was a maze getting around. 

Over at the venue we started getting into our dresses and setting up.

 Wearing my Vibram five fingers with my dress for most of the morning.

Cute Rylie. Every time she saw the camera she stopped at yelled CHEESE! This was the face it produced lol

Isn't she a beautiful Bride?!

 She was so excited & nervous :) it was cute

Jerri made her own wedding cake. I think it turned out nice.

 Love her!

The weather was so nice! It was 75 degree's on Friday and we all were in tank tops pretty much the whole day. That was such a nice change after the cold winter we have gone through in Montana.

During the Reception we attacked their car like good bridal parties should :)

After the wedding had gotten over every one left as they had planned. Well I still had no home to go to, so I called Justin. Although Justin was in Salt lake and I would have to drive an extra 95 miles to get to him, it was totally worth it to me to see him and other friends in SLC.  He was working when I arrived so I patiently sat in my car for 2 1/2 hours for him to get off. Then he took me to Dee's for dinner and we sat up talking late into the night. I have missed him! The next day I drove to West Jordan to meet up with Rylie and Jaeda. It had been literally years since I have seen Rylie so it was nice to hang out for a bit. I can't believe how big Jaeda is getting, the last time I saw her she was tiny and we made her sleep in my kitchen in her pack & play lol. 

She is Beautiful just like her mom!

I did some shopping for a few hours and ate at some much missed restaurants that I haven't had in over a year. Then Later that evening Justin and I met up at the mall to do a little more shopping together. 

 Yum Double Double! 

 Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes. YUMMY!

After shopping we decided to hit the town. We met up with Rylie and went to "A bar named sue" for a couple of drinks. By midnight it was getting pretty crowded so we left and Justin took me to his favorite hang out "Try-Angles".  We hung out there for a couple of hours and had to brave the roads back to the house in Snow. 

 Try-angles know how to do it right! lol This drink is huge!

 Because of the bad weather I cut my trip short by a day, I am glad that I did though because as soon as I got home I developed a nasty cold :( It took me 500 miles about, & 7 1/2 hours to drive home...It was SOOOOO worth it though to get away and see my friends. That was just what I needed!
