K, so I am really sick of pulling up my blogg and starring at my face!! So, I am desperate. I thought I would write about Christmas and Cincinnati, but I still haven't put the pics on a cd, and want to do it then....so boring, I know, but it's a way for me to stop cringing!! And if you want to do it too, have fun.
So, here goes:
Rules: Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, things. Nothing made up!

Needless to say it was a turn off, but it has made me want to buy a bottle just for the name!!)

Some of my favorite salon pictures
So I finally was found my disposable camera I would keep at school. So I some pictures to post!?! Yeah! Most of these are either favorite haircuts and colors or updos. I would forget to take pictures!?! But once in a great grand while I would remember....
...This is of a maniquin at school. Every week we would have to do 5 to 6 updos on maniquins. One day the teachers decided to have a contest of the most creative/best. I was one of the winner!! It was a lot of fun to do. Personally I like doing real people, it's a lot easier. But I was pleased with how it turned out. I did a weave along the sides, twisted ropes along with the curls. I love the cascade...Summer of 2007
...This is of a lady that came in to have her hair done for her wedding. I had a Hairstylist as a friend who would refer brides to come to me. I wish I had a more pictures...oh well. I loved doing updos, they were one of my favorite things to do... Summer of 2007
...We had "regulars" that would come in every week. They were cute ladies that had a hard time doing their hair and wanted to look beautiful. For the life of me, I can't remember her name!? But she was my favorite at school. I loved her to death... September of 2007
...So I decided to go back to being auburn. Keep in mind that I had gone the same color the previous year and then back to blonde!! But this time, we tried a different line, and WOW! Can you say PINK? My friend, Kristin and I couldn't tell who had the pinkest hair? Can you? Summer of 2007
...So at school, we were slow and I had another friend, Ellynn, wash my hair out with a "stipper"....
...Can you see how pink the suds were!?! That is from the color, not the shampoo, coming out of my hair!! Needless to say, it took a few processes before I had my auburn hair back...
...This is me and my manager (and great friend) Jenzy. I worked at Smart Styles from Oct. 2007 to April of 2008. It was a great learning experience. I had a lot of fun doing a variety of hair. (Notice that mine is a normal color!?!)...
...I came to work one Saturday at noon, after working 12 hours the previous night at the hospital. I was able to get about 4 hours of sleep. Needless to say I was EXHAUSTED!! As soon as I walked in, Jenzy told me I have a customer waiting. The girl wants jet black hair with red steaks...Always a fun thing to do something extreme, however I was so tired I couldn't think. The last thing I wanted was do something difficult. But after it was all done, I actually really liked how it turned out, and she absolutely LOVED it!! Spring of 2008
...This is an updo for Prom. My friend from work asked me to do her daughter's hair. She had so much!?! She just wanted curls everywhere. It is beautiful though...Spring of 2008
...This girl came in and was heading to BYU-Idaho for school. She wanted to have her hair cut and warmer color...Spring of 2008

Evan's Hairstyling Video Contest

When I went to school, we had a commercial contest. This one won! It is too cute. One of my friends is the "Capelli" girl/villain. I thought I would post it here for me to remember. Watch if you want to get a good laugh!

We'll fight for North Gem,
We're up to stuff (swear those are the words, but they make no sense!!)
We never, never, never bluff.
Against the men of North Gem,
None can progress!

Our N! G! H! Rah, Rah, Rah!
Fight! Fight! Fight team! Fight!"

Who did you go with to senior prom? Brandon Wistisen
Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? I use to see him and his wife when I got back from my mission, but I haven't seen them since I moved to Utah. He was a fun friend all throughout school.
Are you planning on going to your 50 year reunion? Heck no!! I haven't gone to any since. In fact, I don't think that we have had any either. Sad to say but I wasn't friends with too many in my class, just a few guys...All of my friends graduated, went to Grace High School, or were younger then me.
Do you still see people from school? No, but we email, blog, or chat on facebook
Now, I tag everyone (yes Andrea and Rachel, that especially includes you!?!) because it's way too fun to read.

I have a HOME!!
I finally have a home now!! YEAH! It is really close to where I am now, and in Pleasant Grove. I am so excited! It was a crazy ordeal to get it. Granted, I know that it's a big deal to rent things out, but I had to go once to see it, then again to meet the other roommate (which was basically like an interview) and then waited and waited before they made their decision. Talk about stress! But yet it's nice because we already have a feel for each other. I remember moving into places before even seeing it or meeting the roommates. Ricks College, heck, I was just happy to find a place with an ok price! And in Logan, I just had to find something while I was still in Rexburg trying to graduate early. I never really had much of an idea of what I was getting myself into. SO, I think that it will be good. It is still just a month by month contract, but I told her that I wanted to live there for a while, and I mean AWHILE. I just think, due to some comments, that they probably had some bad experiences in the past. Hopefully they like me, and I like them, and everything is fabuloso!! The owner is a dental hygienist and over 30. The other girl is 27 like me!! And she is a 3rd grade teacher. I am just excited to have someone to go to church with! I haven't had a roommate to go to church with since Pocatello right after my mission (ok when I lived at home I had my mom! That was nice!!). They both seem to be down to earth, nice, and successful people. It's always fun to see people's faces when they hear my schedule. Then I am reminded of how abnormal I really am!!
Anyways, I got my test back, and got a 80%. SO I am totally bummed about it, and am determined to study like there's no tomorrow. I have been pretty consistent, but not daily. SO here I go! I will eat, drink, live and sleep the Nervous, Circulatory systems, and whatever else we will accomplish by Nov. 5th!! And as for lab, well, lets just say, I have to do soooo much better!

Tagged: Quirks
Tagged...I tag anyone who isn't afraid of their weaknesses!! Teeheehee!
After all, Ether 12: 27
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
My Quirks:
1. I have a bad habit of staying up to read or watch movies. Even if I am tired, I get selfish about my time, and stay up!! Hence a good reason why I get run down. It's hillarious! I will sometimes close one eye, then after a few minutes, rotate eyes closed. Tsk, tsk, I know! When did I come up with this? I remember staying up late when I lived at home, and putting a blanket along the bottom of the door, and a sock through the hole where the doorknob was suppose to go...just so that my parents would think I was sleeping. Pathetic I know!
2. I decide to be healthy, I clean up my nutrition, get more active, and feel so much better. But then the old me comes back, and bam! I slack off again. Even when I know perfectly well that I feel better and am less sick when I am healthy! Ding ding! You would think I could just change...
3. I start projects and then don't finish them! I remember doing Young Women's projects, and as soon as the hours where finished, I was finished too! I have a hard time sticking to it. One time, my sister finished a cross-stitch for me that I had worked on FOREVER, and it took her only a few days (keep in mind I had the bottom part of the stem finished on a rose). I have a sack full of projects. But I am happy to say that I have finished all of my old projects, and have only my new recently acquired ones. By recent, I mean within a year! Hey, that's good for me!!
4. I have a hard time making a budget and then sticking to that budget. I have made so many of them, that I have given up. Pretty much, I set a number in my head, and that is all that I allow myself to spend,and when it is out, I am done. But could I save more, I sure could! And I could be more practical too! Someday...
5. If I don't write things down, I forget them! Seriously! I lost my little pocket sized planner for a few weeks, and I kept forgetting appointments I made, and meetings I should have gone too. Pretty much I stuck to the basics, and just held on. It took me a while to find a new planner, but once I did, as long as it was written in, I was good to go. Before my mission, I never had a planner. Now, it is a definate must have!?!
6. I get into reading the scriptures/doctrine books. I can read them, and just soak it up and think "Wow, I need to do this every day! I love this! Look at how much I have learned!" but then, it will be days before I have another binge. What a lukewarm servant I am!
So, there are mine, now what are yours?

For Good
I don't know why, but I wanted to post the lyrics to a song that I absolutely love from the play "Wicked"!! I have it on my playlist, but it has something wrong with it, so it won't play!?! Maybe that is why I was thinking about it. Or maybe because of the last few months, I have been in touch with many that I've lost contact with. Some have been amazing friends, relatives, and even some who hurt me. But because there is Someone else in control of my life, Someone who loves me and knows me better than myself, Who wants the best for me, has chosen to reconnect those contacts. And because of them, memories have been shared, wounds have healed, and differences have been made for the better...
(Glinda):
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
(Glinda):
Because I knew you
(Both):
I have been changed for good
(Elphaba):
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
(Glinda):
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
(Both):
And none of it seems to matter anymore
(Glinda):
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
(Elphaba):
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
(Both):
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
(Glinda):
And because I knew you...
(Elphaba):
Because I knew you...
(Both):
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...
I thank my Heavenly Father for all of them!
