Another day

I can't believe I'm already a month through Cosmetology school, and I will be out on the floor doing non mannequin hair soon! I'm feeling pretty nervous I must admit but a ton excited.

Today was so pretty out I had to take a picture. My love and I share a car and since he's the provider right now while I'm attending college I've volunteered to take the bus... even though I despise it greatly. So here's a pic I took on my way to the bus stop.

I felt like I was back in elementary school today learning about colors and what goes into the actual color when dying our hair with, but it was by far the most fun and I'm pretty positive coloring hair will be my niche in cosmetology school.

My day

A reminder

Yesterday was such a good day compared to my horrible week. My love came up and surprised me with an awesome day of banana splits, hiking and pizza at our favorite place. There's this arcade and bowling/pool area by the restaurant, so after our dinner we decided to play some shooter games... Which I sucked horribly at, but it was an amazing day nonetheless. I really do cherish the days I get to see my love. Living 100 miles away from each other is killer most days but nights like this remind me of how special what we have is. :) and I get wait to be graduated from college and living with him again.

round two!

My first attempt and trying to lose weight was horrible to say the least. After about a week of eating somewhat right and working out everyday, my beloved dog died.... and the who work out thing quickly stopped, but now that I'm a full-time student I've decided to give it a go... again.

So here's to new beginnings and hopefully this weight loss journey isn't as short lived.

Lately,

Things have been quite crazzy lately. school has been pretty wild. Who knew there were so many techniques to doing hair!! it's been blowing my mind, but i'm loving it. Especially with how creative you can be. And my weekends have been spent playing with puppies and seeing my baby sister. I can't believe how big she is getting! I'm pretty horrible at keeping up with picture taking these days but here are some from the past week or so.

so many expectations

sometimes i feel like i want way too many things at once without thinking about doing one thing at a time. i want a perfect life. i crave it. that awesome wedding. that cute vintage feel house. the perfect job. and the perfect little family. but in order to get all those things i have to complete steps like finish school, and work my way up to the perfect job. save money for that perfect house. and of course waiting for my boyfriend of five years to purpose is quite possibly the hardest of them all. in the last couple years i've saved picture after picture of my perfect wedding, and i'm still crossing my fingers that it happens sooner than i think.

I love wedding cakes that have the bride and groom's initials on them.

These engagement pictures are to die for. the dress and the notebook (my fav movie) are so awesome and i hope to find someone to recreate this for me.

I absolutely love this gorgeous hair piece.

want!

Cute vintage wedding pictures are also a must!

AND I couldn't forget about the ring. I love <b>love</b> pear shaped rings.

these two styles are by far my favorites. and are completely amazing.

Obsessions.

I love peacock feathers! They are just so pretty and their colors are amazing to me. Someday I will get a peacock feather as my second tattoo!

 Wall decor is so much fun. You can mess around with it and it peels off so easily. I get overly ecstatic when I think about all the different ways I will be able to decorate my future home. I know I will definitely have at least a couple of these!

I'm a huge fan of baking. it is so much more fun for me to be creative with cupcakes and what not then actually cooking. I came across lavender seeds last year at the Farmer's Market here and have become obsessed with lavender cookies. A-m-a-zing!! 

Lately

I decided to spend the last half of my free week at 

the doggie park with miss Cleo.

Getting use to not being with her almost all day is going to be a hard one.

 

 

Just life

I've come to the conclusion that I should not be allowed to spent more than a week with nothing to do. I'm going stir crazy waiting for school to start. Thankfully I only have to wait five more days, but it still feels like a lifetime. I finally feel ready to start a life and have a career I absolutely enjoy, and have an amazing man supporting me even though my father thinks otherwise. He is truly my rock that I can always lean on.

Growing up with an abusive father can definitely break a person, but because of Nick I made it through the hard years and became a stronger person. I use to dream about creating a life my father wanted. Become a hugely successful engineer, have a huge house and make loads of money.. because my father has always told me without those three things you'll never be happy. Sadly, it took until about a year ago for me to realize I can be myself now, but at least it happened. Even though for now I have to hide my future from him I'm happy. Happier than I ever was living under his roof. And the bad days don't feel so bad anymore.
