Hi folks

Dear beautiful blog readers,
I would like to nominate myself for the worst blogger ever for the year. Although life has been a complete mess lately, I have been feeling guilty for not updating everyone on it lol I will try to give a short version ( but you all know how I am with giving details ;) )

On the 3rd of August I completed my year of cosmetology school, 1650 hours! When I include my nail school time, then I completed 2050 hours, That is such a long time. the school didn't want me to have a graduation unless I passed my final written exam but i made sure that I did it with flying colors. Even though the graduation was totally dumb, it meant a lot to me to share it with all of my family and friends. It was nice to have a do over since Jared missed my first graduation. I orchestrated a family reunion at my house and all 16 of us crammed into my 3 bedroom condo. It was the first time in like 6 or 7 years that we were all in one location, it was wonderful! Everyone spent 4 days in Bozeman and we did outings such as going to Bozeman beach, graduation, hiking to grotto falls, walking on the paths behind the house, and taking multiple sessions of family photos. It was marvelous :)

Oh I almost forgot! Jared quit his job at Kenyon noble a little over a month ago, and he has been driving frac sand up in North Dakota at the oil rig. It takes us back to a life where he is gone for multiple weeks at a time, but it's great money and is helping us pay off debt and save up for the future. He works 2 weeks on and then 2 off, however so far it has been 3 on then 1 off, and then 2 on, and possibly 1 off again. It's crazy busy! I think he enjoys it though a lot more than what he was doing, for now anyway.

After my family left, things got crazy for me. I am having trouble with the state and getting my license (that's a different post story) and the owner of the condo we rent decided that he wanted to kick us out because we didn't want to sign another lease. ( our current lease says that we can go month to month but he wasn't satisfied with that) so I got a letter in the mail with a contract saying we had 30 days to vacate. It all hit at the same time so I have been uber stressed out trying to find a new home, pack, prepare to test, and do it all while Jared is away working. Ick! I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel though.

I have been saving up my pennies for quite some time and to reward myself during this crazy time, I bought myself an iPad2, which I am typing this blog post on :) I just love it!!!

well bloggers that has been the skinny on our recent lives. I love you all and I am sorry for abandoning you for so long. Take care all!
