Grateful

This week has been very monumental. 5 years ago this week I laid in a hospital bed receiving my last treatment for cancer, somewhere I never thought I'd be. But 5 years later I'm here! So much has happened and I have learned so many great lessons. My physical health has improved greatly, I have a wonderful husband, and I'm in school doing what I love everyday. I have so much in my life that I am grateful for. So as I hit this 5 year mark I look at where I have come in my life and couldn't be happier. 5 years officially puts me in remission!

Resolution Accomplished & Posh Realized

I am sooooo excited to announce that I have reached my goal that I set in July (see posting) of being able to fit into my skinny jeans!!! The top two pictures are my before and after shots. Many of you have been begging to see my new hairdo so the bottom two are a couple of pictures of it. (I expecially dedicate the posh pout in the lower right hand corner to Karen).

A Few 2008 Memories

Here are a few of my pictures I've taken over the last year. They are not nessecarily the best but I'm testing a new technique the my sister taught me in photoshop. So far I like it.

There's No Business Like Toe Business

This week in Beauty School we learned how to do Acrylic Nails and so out of boredom I practiced on myself! This was the end result. My only problem is that I can't seem to reach my other foot!

Channelling my inner Mike Tyson

So Adam did me the kind favor of lending me his luscious locks to perfect my haircutting skills. Well besides getting a nifty haircut he got a nifty.........................

Battle wound!

Now let me give a little explanation...... My scissors are SHARP! Adam got more then he came in for: a nifty haircut, battle wound, and a free haircut!

P.S. I bawled for about 10 minutes when I realized what I did. I finally pulled myself together and finished the haircut. Cutting someones ear has been my biggest fear and it still is. I was consoled by many of my fellow peers who let me know you wont find one hairdresser out there that hasn't cut an ear. That made me feel a little better. At first I was mortified and thought we can't tell anyone about this because no one would trust me to cut their hair but I'm over it now and laugh at the whole thing, except when I picture that moment of slicing through his cartilage.....YUCK... Thanks Adam for being a good sport!

Sorry for the long blank space I couldn't make it go away!
