Pictures!

So here are the pictures I promised. The hair looks shorter cause it curly... Oh, and the pink is just a clip in piece too :)

Conclusion, Lagoon and hair extensions

So I've concluded after all my worrying and stress about my possible new job (that didn't end up going through) that I'm going to move to Vegas in Jan. I'm really excited about going and I know it won't be as nice moving without my bills all paid off and all that stuff, but who cares, it will still be fun!! So that's the conclusion and I'm happy with it.

On Wednesday we got to go to Lagoon for school. They have a new ride there called Wicked...which it actually is! This first drop shown in the pictures sends you straight up and straight back down. That is quit a drop on the other side. It was really fun though, probably the best ride there now. I love the spider though too! It's just fun to be spinning around while you're going on a roller coaster! Lexi Marisa and I spent the day together. It was so fun riding rides with them cause we just laughed the whole time.

So I finally got my hair extensions!! I'm actually wearing them now at work. Everyone says they look really good, and I love having long hair. I'll try to get a picture up soon. The hair is like down to my bra strap. Crazy!

who knows?

Who knows what's going on? I just went and talked to Kevin about the job and he said he's not even sure if they are going to go through with it. I guess he was running the numbers yesterday and found out that they need another customer service person instead of another inside salesman. He's still trying to figure it out and he'll keep me updated he said, but I think it might not happen. It's kind of sad because now I want the job and I might not get it. Either way it will be ok I think, either I move to Vegas, or I stay here. I was kind of looking forward to the money and the stressless life though. I'll keep you updated...

What to do?

I had something interesting happen to me on Friday at work. Since I'm hating my boss and Gissella so much and Sara is putting in her 2 weeks notice soon I went in and talked to the VP of sales (who I know really well, and is just a really great guy) about possibly transferring into his dept for the last 4 1/2 months that I'm here before I move to Vegas. He said they were actually considering me for a new job but had found out I was leaving and had backed off. He tried to convince me to stay and take this job because it will be over double what I am making now. While I was talking to him it wasn't even an option that I was going to stay, I've been so excited to move to Vegas in Jan and there was nothing that was going to stop me. I told him I'd think about it, but that was mostly just to get him to stop talking to me about it :) . So after I left his office I got to thinking about it A LOT and realized what a great opportunity it would be for me. I would be making enough money that I could take care of all my debt, finish school and not be crazy stressed, I'd be here for both of my new nephews or neices being born the beginning of the year, I would have the money to go to Ireland for Jill's wedding, I could get my Esthetics license in Utah and Nevada instead of just Nevada, and on and on. So it all sounds great right? Well the thing getting me through this past year of not having a social life was the fact that in Jan I was going to be moving to Vegas and my life would start again, but now it's going to ANOTHER year of working (but I would have more of a social life this time) and not being with the friends that I want to be with the most. I would probably only take the new postition for a year and save money and stuff and then move to Vegas, but it just feels like I'm putting my life on hold again. It's not fair, that is what this past year was. Does that make sense? Anyway, I know I'm blessed to be offered this job, but it just comes at such a crazy time. I have to know by Wed of next week if I'm moving to Vegas or not because they (my future roommates...maybe) are signing the apartment contracts on Wed. So I'm going in on Monday to go talk to Kevin (the VP of sales) about the specifics of the job and if everything sounds good and is what I thought it was going to be then I'm going to go to the temple on Tuesday night and hopefully I'll know what I'm supposed to do. I hate growing up and having to make life decisions (especially in a matter of days). I'm leaning towards staying here for a year. It would just be so much less stressfull, but it makes me want to cry thinking that I won't be living it up in Vegas with my best friends. What do I do???

P.S. I was walking through Walmart tonight with my friend Marisa and we walked past this Asian girl with a shirt on that said " Blondes have more fun" ?????? And it's not like she had high lights or anything, she had completely black hair. Marisa and I looked at each and started laughing...is this funny for anyone else? :)

stressed

My life has been really crazy lately. I've had a hard time sleeping and my stomach always hurts. The joys of stress! Work used to be really nice and relaxing, now it's contentious and demanding. School has always not been that stressful other then the fact that I have to spend every night there. But lately we've been trying to plan out how we're going to get everything done before we graduate in 5 months and it's stressing me out. I still have about 10 treatments that I'm not passed off on, which means I have to do that still, then we have a test today (that I'm praying I pass) and we have 15 more tests after that to finish. We have to prepare a 2 hour lesson by next month on one of the chapters to teach to the class. We also have to do this project where we work on one person every week doing different things to their skin like Micros and Peels and stuff and record how their skin is changing and take pictures and stuff. That is due before we graduate along with a huge spa project where we have to pretend like we are opening our own spa and we have to design it (down to the color scheme), find out how much it will cost to build, what the monthly and yearly expenses will be, etc...it's crazy. On top of all of this, I worry about teaching Sunday school and getting my lessons done for that. And then I have to worry about how I'm going to make ends meet with trying to save for Vegas and how I'm going to pay for school. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I know everyone has stuff going on and I'm just whining, but it feels a little better to let it all out. Thanks for letting me vent!
