Becoming a Beautician...

I finally started beauty school this past Tuesday (9.21.10). I have been thinking about going for several years now and I finally went through with my dream. I completed my bachelors this past winter and taught elementary health and physical education this past spring. After spending a full semester of being completely miserable in my profession I decided to make a move and go with my dream; it took a lot of prayer and a few long discussions with Rusty before the decision was final.

So here I am, after completing one week, I am sure this is what I want to do! I love waking up in the mornings now...it makes a huge difference when you are doing what you love to do and what you have a passion for. I am not saying I won't ever have a bad day or that I will never not want to go to work. I just know that this is me and what I love to do. I get a thrill out of making people pretty :) Kind of like Rusty gets a thrill out of designing "poop plants". (Rusty would want me to clarify this last statement...he is an environmental/biological engineer for an engineering firm and the technical term for "poop plant" is water and waste water plants).

As I go throughout my journey of cosmetology school, I will post updates of what I have learned. So far I have learned how to give a manicure, pedicure, facial, wax, and just today we learned how to do a variety of braids and up dos! Yes, I learned all this in one week! And, the awesome thing about all this is that I have received all of these services :) My feet and hands are now well manicured and the facial was phenomenal... and yes, I received my very first eyebrow waxing. ha ha

I had to post a few pictures of my friends I met this week! LOL They have real human hair and real dead louse (lice). THEY ARE DEAD. This first manican is named Debra. I practiced braids and up dos today on this chick today!

Now this dude I named Jesus. See the resemblance? According to illustrations of the Bible this is what they make Jesus out to be. He has so much facial hair and as a result I haven't even lifted up his beard to see what his name is...But I like Jesus...
This chick on the end is named Bridgette...



Next week we are going to be learning how to cut! Watch for posts on this...

Fall...Football...Black and White Stripes

It's that time of year again....Football. Football to us means Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights, and sometimes Mondays nights too. By the time November rolls around I am pretty much burned out! It will be Rusty's 3rd year to reff football and he absolutely loves every bit of it. He is on an awesome crew which makes it even better! Here are just a few pictures from tonight's game he reffed. It was a Jr. High game in Elkins...
