So I finished off my trip to Utah, earning enough money to pay for my summer tuition, books, fees, and equipment for school! YAY!!!! I also was able to do something with my mom while I was there, As most of you know I'm a Certified Permanent Cosmetics Specialist, well my mom ended up choosing to get her eyeliner done with me. So we kinda made this pack, because she knew that even though I do this as a hobby job and love doing it and loved the thought of having it done I'm just a big chicken inside and hadn't had it done on myself yet.... Well I have now!!!! My mom let me do it on her and she did AMAZING!!! Her medication wasn't even kicking in and she held so still and put me in awe. And totally made me more excited to get it done! Because she warned me if she actually did go through with it all the way there was NO way in anywhere that I was allowed to back out. Which I didn't!! But I can tell You I wasn't as good as her... I didn't hold still as good and I probably cried for part of it... But then again I have absolutely no pain tolerance what so ever!!! I envy the pain tolerance that once of my clients has, she came in last minute to get her eyeliner done, she didn't even have so much as a Tylenol in her system. I swear she didn't flinch one bit and didn't shed one tear!!! I wish I was like that Sam!!! :) So I pretty much bruised I think because I moved so much... yeah funny my medication was in my system but chose to kick in after the procedure was over... I supposedly did things like: putting my shoes on the wrong feet, couldn't tell what colors my cookies were that I was eating, was arguing that I wasn't tired and wouldn't go to bed without a snack (hence the cookies) And made my parents and my husband laugh for a bit.... oh and also my best friend Brooke and her man Seth... guess I called them up and talked to them.... :) But they are healing and looking SO good!!! I'm actually thinking I'll be able to handle the touch up better now that I know what to expect and I'll not let my anticipation work against my medication.... :) I'll post some picture of them once they are totally healed,... I love the color that we did too!!!! :)
So now I'm back at home with My loving husband!!! Hooray!! However the plane ride here ugh.... I've never had an altitude drop that fast or flown by myself... I started it off with the beginnings of a sinus infection. After the Hour and a half ride in the clouds... I landed with a full blown sinus infection, no nose breathing capabilities, no chance of popping my ears, and no chance of seeing a doctor and getting on medication for at least 2 and a half days... YUCK!
However it was lightened a little by my surprise to a little bit of a Romantic side that my husband has... AWESOMENESS!!!!! I came home to be blindfolded on the door step and taken to the kitchen to be fed a couple M&Ms and fresh strawberry's. Then un-blindfolded to a gorgeous new bouquet of flowers, and rose petals all over the apt. with specific prizes surrounded by the most petals. my silk robe on the couch, a whole hour massage set up on the bed with romantic music and then a relaxing bubble bath to top it all off! My Husband is AMAZING!!!
UGH I must have been a pill to deal with after-wards though... I know first hand I'm no fun when I've got a sinus infection (ask my mom too haha) I'm definitely what you call a Nose Breather. I prefer to have a more silent breath and have my mouth closed while breathing... Especially when I sleep!! So needless to say I haven't had much sleep the past few nights due to not being able to breath through my nose. Stupid huh? yup! But luckily I'm on medication now and it's getting better.
I got a small back up sitter job, and I've already got 2 days lined up in the next week and I'll be getting paid like $10 an hour so it'll be good cuz I'll continue to earn more money for my schooling!! YAY!!! Here is the plan that I've set for myself with my education. I'm going to go to MPC to get some needed credits accomplished while I'm out here in CA... then I'll transfer back to UVU and keep my major as it is. Yes I'm going to give Dancing another shot. It's the only thing that my mind keeps bringing back to me when I try to decide what I want to do to make me happy. However there is more to it this time. More of a Goal of what I want to do with my life along with dancing.... I'm going to add on a minor to my schooling. So I'm going to Major in Movement Studies with an Emphasis in Ballroom Dancing and Minor in Deaf Studies. Once I accomplish my Bachelors Degree in M.S. I'm going to change my Minor to my second Major and then work towards finishing off my BS in Deaf Studies, probably with an emphasis in Education. Hopefully then after I graduate I can work on getting my Masters Degree so that I can use both my Dancing Career and my Deaf Studies Career to teach at a University Status/College level. Or at least that is the hope. :) We shall see how it all plans out.
Well there's an update on me.... a couple new things that have happened and are coming up for me. Brady is still studying Chinese and everyday he speaks it aloud around me it makes me smile. He is doing so well and he is always studying and I can tell that it's paying off. I still hope and pray that this will also help aid us in receiving an opportunity to visit China someday. Something that we've both talked about and dreamed about one day doing since we were younger and now as a goal that we wish to do together.
We love everyone and we definitely miss everyone back home in Utah! We can't wait to be able to come home and see everyone together in April!!! You're in our hearts and our prayers!
