Back to Life

So earlier in the week I went in for an interview at Epic Salon in Chandler. I didn't get my hopes up because i had not yet received my license and I was trying to be open minded. So about three hours after the interview they called and said i had got the job! I was so excited. Its only about thirty hours a week but its better than nothing. Then yesterday i got the BEST letter in the mail. I PASSED STATE BOARD. So its official i am a licensed cosmetologist. So this week has been pretty good if you ask me. I will be in the assisting program at Epic for six months to a year and then i will get my own chair and be a stylist. This is exactly what i wanted. Learn more about cosmetology and be the BEST stylist ever.

Easy Enchiladas

2 family size cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans of chicken
1 can diced green chilis
2 cups shredded cheese
1 tub sour cream
36 pack corn tortillas
Add all ingredients except tortillas to crock pot and put on low 1-2 hours (until soupy). Tear up tortillas add to crock pot. Heat about an hour. Serve.

These are so good and so easy. I like mine a little more spicy so I add a can of el pato. If you are making it for just TWO I would suggest cutting the recipe in half.

Babies

Ok so here I go again about wanting a baby. It seems like everyone and their mother is pregnant. I know I should be excited for them but I just get upset, why am I not pregnant? I have been off birth control for a year now, I eat right, take prenatal pills, check when I am ovulating but still NOTHING. Every time I am a day late I get all excited just to be let down, AGAIN. I know this is such a selfish and depressing post but I am just felling that way. So I ask does anyone know of ANYTHING I can do/take to help? I read about this pill called Endovan does anyone know anything about it? Ok I feel like I need to say THANK YOU to my family for praying and helping through this and BRENT for dealing with my bad attitude and always keeping me positive and looking at the stuff we are blessed with.

LUCKY

So yesterday Brent called me from work and said “let’s go shopping today,” I said ok and didn’t think much about it all day. So by the time he came home I was not in the mood to go because it was so hot outside. Brent said I had no choice we were going. So we went to Chandler Mall and used some gift cards we had for American Eagle, Bath and Body Works and Nordstrom. I never knew that Nordstrom had a sister store called Nordstrom Rack and everything is like 50% cheaper. I was so excited to be out of the house with my babe! We got new heels for me (they are super cute) and Brent a new shirt. We also got some soap and lotion from Bath and Body Works. In all we spent about $5, now that’s my kind of shopping! And to make it even better Brent held the bags for me. On the car ride home I was so EXHAUSTED, now I remember why I am not into shopping. All the smells and walking around really wears me out. So I asked Brent why he wanted to go shopping so badly. He said he had read our blog and felt bad that I didn’t feel like I had cute stuff and wanted to take me out. I instantly felt all warm inside. My BRENTY, after a long day at work, was willing to take me out shopping and even hold my bags. Man I am SO lucky to have him. What husband WANTS to go shopping with their wife? SO after yesterday I feel like a PRINCESS and my prince BRENT is the bestest ever.

I can wear this shirt to work!(When I get a job)

Moving On

So yesterday I got a call from Avante... I did not get the job. I wont lie I was upset but I had prepared myself for the worst. In the interview they said they get over 100 applications a week so I felt blessed I even got an interview. I called my friend Amber and told her the news. At first she did not believe me. After convincing her I was not lying she said her boss had told her how much she had liked me but they wanted someone who could work Sundays. After Amber told me that I was not so upset. I knew I would find another job and I would be blessed for standing my ground and saying I would not work Sundays!

On a brighter note I was watching Oprah and Rachel Ray yesterday and learned some AMAZING stuff. On Oprah they showed how to save money at the grocery store by making a list and shopping the sales. They also gave awesome ideas for easy recipes that cost like $15 for an entire days worth of food. I would urge you all to go on her website under the food tab then the menu category and look up Cat, Curtis and Tyler's recipes. You will be glad you did! Ok so then on Rachel Ray it was saying how to turn your old clothes into new stylish ones. It showed how to take an old pair of jeans and make them look vintage and take your old shirts and turn them into clothes for your kids with just scissors, a toothpick and ribbon. So I would LOVE to try these out so I am wanting to know who has time to be crafty with me? To get more info on how to do these awesome ideas go to Rachel Rays website look on Fridays show and look at the no sew make overs!

AHHH

Ok so RIGHT after I posted the last blog Avante called me for an interview today at 2. I am freaking out. Ok cross your fingers!

A New Me

So this past Monday I took my written part of state board and I PASSED! I was so excited and proud of myself for the extra hours I had put into to studying. I take the practical part of my exam on Monday and if all goes well I will be a licensed cosmetologist!

So at the start of a new year most make goals, but I missed that by about eight months. So I decide that I would start now, better late than never right?

1) Attend the temple more often
There is no excuse for not going at least every month or every week for that matter.
2) Learn to cook….better
I want to be able to cook for my family or future family and have confidence in what I am doing.
3) Get a job
At this point I won’t be picky. I originally wanted to work at Avante Salon with one of my best friends Amber, but just a job would do now!
4) get healthy
I want to do this not only for the fact its good for you but it is good practice for when I get pregnant. (Hopefully this year)
5) Get a tan
Since the new study came out about tanning beds and skin cancer I think I will just stick to self tanners!
6) Be more crafty
I want to have that home around the holiday season that just feels all warm and cozy and is decorated to the tee.

So these are my goals so far. What are some goals you have? Maybe we have similar goals and we could work on them TOGETHER!
