Changes, changes, changes

Well since I last posted on here a lot of things in our life have changed. First I decided to get back to my roots, literally.....as in dye my hair back to the boring brown that it naturally is. Why do such an awful thing you ask? Well, it has to do with the fact the blondes do have more fun and I was just getting too worn out with all the funness I was having :) not to mention, it was really high maintenance and...dun, dun, dun, (drumroll please) I have decided to go back to school!!! And changing my hair color back was the first step seeing as how I wasn't going to be working in a salon anymore and be able to get my hair done for free all the time. 

 After a lot of thought I decided I wanted to go back to school to become a nurse and thankfully Matt was fully supportive as were my parents and in-laws!  I went to BYU-Idaho for approximately a semester and a half right out of high school and not knowing then what I wanted to be when I grew up I opted to go to cosmetology school. It was a good experience, I learned a lot, and for sure having those skills will save us lots of moola since I can cut Matt's hair, and all our little pipsqueaks too when we decide to have them.  But I really didn't want to look back on my life and regret that all I did for a living was put highlights in people's hair, I wanted to make a difference in people's lives! So I am now working as a caregiver while I go to school and I absolutely 100% love it! (helps too that my hours are 11-5 and I get to sleep in. wahoo!) I take care of an elderly gentlemen and his little dog and we go to park, the movies, out to eat, and with his help I have learned how to play Gin. (out of 100 games so far together, I think I have won 2).  Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday night plus Saturday mornings I go to school getting all my pre-reqs done so I can hopefully get on the waitlist to get into the nursing program by next January.  So are weekends are shot for the next semester of two, but in the end it will be so worth it! I don't think Matt minds so much, cuz it's the one opportunity he gets to play his golf video game while I'm away. ;)
