Lake Powell

I don't want to really spend much time blogging about LP. It was an adventurous trip but it was kind of a nightmare! The girls got in a jet ski accident. The parentals had to take them to the page hospital. everyone was just really bruised, they're doing great now.

The boat broke down while we were still on water and on our way home the trailer broke.

SO... like i said ... it was an adventurous trip!

Glad we made it home alive.

I'M BACK

I have neglected my blog for FAR too long!

HERE I AM! &&& I have FINISHED beauty school! YAY! After beauty school grad I went to CALIfornia with Nick & Joshua Larry. We drove my little BLUE pt cruiser to SIX FLAGS..... and we had fun. Mainly we enJOYed lots o' whiplashing roller coasters and running around. :)
We even got to see/meet/take photos with: SPEEDY gonzalez, Tweety bird, Sylvester the cat && last but not least.... Bugs Bunny. (i know right!)

After our exciting day at six flags we began our drive home to good old AZ... then the REAL adventure began!!!! While on the 10 my cute little car started acting up. && SHE BROKE DOWN! While Nick was driving in bumper to bumper traffic. (mind you... this was the Friday beginning labor day weekend... perfect timing, no?) Thanks to the expert advice of Joshua Larry we were able to get off the freeway and stop at the closest MCDONALDS ( i needed my Diet Coke anyway - win/win) We call mom & dad... fweaking OUT! (ps- i have no $$$.... nick has no $$$ and joshua larry had just paid for our hotel so he gots no $$$ either) My dad asks us where we are... I have NO answer. I don't know where we are.... california??? so we ask the peeps inside mickeyd's and they tell us we are in a town called FONTANA, CA.

We take our car to pep boys.... they tell us it is gonna be awhile and they send us on our way and tell us "have fun in Fontana". We find TOYS R' US nearby and play inside for a while, purchase some yo-yo's and wait, and wait and wait and WAIT. We did go to the movies to see Shrek while we waited. It was ok.

We get to the auto shop again and they tell us we need to leave the PT (her name is Darla) overnight and they'll continue working in the morning. I tell them that we don't have that option. Mom & Dad help us out, pay for our repairs and we head back home AGAINST what the dude at PEP BOYS sugests. (thank goodness for prayer & promptings) we knew we would make it . We left this town.... drove 6 hours and made it home around 3 am. we went to bed and a couple hours later MOM woke us up to go to Pinetop for Memorial Day Weekend. We rented out this nice little cabin, bbq'd, watched dad play softball, saw Letters to Juliet, played many rounds of Egyptian Rat Dance and BS, &&& just relaxed. :)

Now.... we leave for LAKE POWELL on Sunday-fathers day... it's gonna be GRAND! Can't wait! (hopefully i get along with everyone....)

peace & blessings.... peace & blessings!

Love & Pain

This last week was a hard week. I have not felt so much love and pain at the same time. My dear friend Debbie Benson passed away. I love her very much and even though I knew she was sick I never thought she'd leave this life so soon. I am so grateful that the Benson family shared their wonderful mother with me. I enjoyed many memories with that woman!

Debbie was such a wonderful woman of faith. She knew who Christ was and trusted in him. She lived everyday like it was the best day ever and made everybody's day special even when she wasn't feeling well. She was very courageous and her life is amazing to me. She had such a love for her life & her family. It helped me to appreciate my life even more.

Debbie's funeral was a true celebration of life and even though we are sad to see her leave.... We will see her again. I am so grateful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. Even though I am not a member of her family... I am grateful for the knowledge of our human family and the connection we all have as Spirit brothers and sisters. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who allowed Debbie Benson to live her life and to bless me.

I love the Benson family and am so grateful for their wonderful friendship.

See ya later Debbie

I love you, always have always will.

But really I am here to blog about my birthday week.

I had to take a BIG test called Mock Boards at school on Tuesday && Wednesday. Basically it is a mock of the state board test so we are prepared for the REAL deal when we graduate.

I passed. (yay)

Now I am done with all of my testing at school. I just have to get all of my hours so I can get the HECK out of this town. I am not planning on leaving town ... just the Studio Academy of Beauty! ( the studio, the stuUUUuudiooooo)

On Thursday I went to see MARY POPPINS with my MOM!
I LOVED IT

I did get a little tummy ache from the use of strobe lights

&& from the nasty male dancers in their tight costumes.

No one wants to see that.

Is it just me?

Someone please AGREE with ME!

it's like male figure skaters! EW

On Friday it was my actual BIRTHDAY! the day was pretty uneventful. I went to the suns game with DAD. the ticket said it was an 8:30 game BUT when we got there the game was 3 quarters in, HA. I guess TV dropped the game so it went back to regular start time... 7:00.... but we didn't know that. HAHA.... joke is on us i guess.

Sunday I got my brithday cake! YUMMY!!!!

i blew out ALL 23 candles with one breath.

pure talent.

lungs of a singer.

&& now my birthday week is over.

the end.

OH! && i don't have any pictures of my birthday week.

lame I know.

i'm over it.

I heart FEBRUARY!

I have been blog stalking people like crazy today.... time escaped me! Then my mom passed through the room and told me to find something productive to do. I am going to go help her prune her plants. i think.

Last night I had to pay off my taxes. Last year I received a HUGE refund check. This year I eneded up owing MORE then my HUGE refund check. Being a grown up is stinky. SERIOUSLY!

&& I am super excited to go see MARY POPPINS next week!

YAY!

You don't know how HIGH I cam fly...

I have been avoiding my blog for awhile because I felt like nothing was worth blogging about. I am in a funk, boy howdy! BUT I am getting ready to graduate in APRIL && can hardly wait. I love hair && I love the clientele I have built up at the school. I will be sad to leave some of them behind at the school :(.

My great grandma turned 90 this weekend! Insane right? I can't imagine living to be 90!!! I can't even to imagine living to 30! I am turning 23 this month and I feel, well , old.

"I'm old.... I'm like the crypt keeper!"

- name that movie

Mom is taking me to see Mary Poppins at Gammage for my BIRFDAY! yay! && I am going to DISNEYLAND (again) for spring break with my girls! yay. I guess I can't really complain about life. :)
