Been awhile...

I looked at my blog and thought I should really get with it and brighten up my background and post something new. So I will go with an update of life. I am still in hair school (well doing an apprenticeship). My hours are accumulating slowly since I work part time in the afternoons. I am just over 1/3 of the way done with my 2500 hours. Feels so long, but so short at the same time. I am living with my parents currently and my doggies have gotten so spoiled there. They know how to work my mom and get treats all the time. Now Laney & I have to work to both take off a couple of extra pounds. It was so much more enjoyable putting it on! I have begun tackling the flower beds in the backyard at my parents... this is proving to be a lot of work. I am also planting a small garden this year. I do believe this is my first time as an adult. It does make me feel all grown up. :) So that's life right now in a nutshell.

Gingerbread Houses

My family put together gingerbread houses. It was fun. A little aggravating at times, but fun. My mom and I worked together on one and my sis Carrie, her hubby Jeff, and oldest daughter Madison worked on their own. The kit my mom and I used had a lot of wild colored candies and were not very traditional looking when it comes to Christmas colors or decorations. Carrie's kit had some good stuff and lots of festive colors.

I will admit there were some tense moments especially when Carrie & Jeff's walls appeared to be caving inward! The managed to save the structure though. I was a little sassy at times about the house I was working on too. What can I say... it's some serious work!

Winter already?

I am amazed at how fast time goes these days. This past year has flown by. I can remember so well what I was doing at this time last year. Crazy crazy.

Life is so unpredictable and can catch you off guard at any given moment. It is interesting the things we each encounter... it makes me wonder why I signed up for some of the things I did! I know there is a valuable lesson to learn in it all... some days though it is a little harder to remember than others.

The holidays are tough for me this year and I am trying not to be a scrooge. I wouldn't be opposed though to skipping ahead a couple of months to the middle of February though!

I know I know, I didn't post any pictures yet again!
