You're newest assistant

Did I tell you yet? I am super excited about this opportunity! I just got a job as an assistant in salon! I am so beyond ecstatic, I spent the last year in cosmetology school and the last sixish months looking for a job. I finally took a job out of desperation and I loved it, but I felt like I didn't know anything and didn't want to drive for 40 mins to get to work everyday. So after a week of debating I quit, it was a huge leap of faith. And I was greatly blessed after I jumped. I got a call from my "dream salon" in Gilbert about 15-20 minutes away. Yippy! I did a short interview and then I did a working interview that very same week and they loved me, they really loved me!
They offered for me to start soon but since I have been nannying I told them I needed to find a replacement first.As of right now my start date is next Thursday!! YAY! I am totally bummed though, they said I have to wear all black! That is worse then cosmetology school, at least then we got to wear white too! But other than that it is a great salon in downtown Gilbert, a mile away from my cousin so I will get to see her, and in 9 months to a year I will be a commission stylist!

Always Remember

I have started this post countless times today and through out the week I have pondered what I would write. And I am still at a loss for words. I wasn't in NYC, I was all the way across the country right here in sunny AZ.  had never been to NY, but I knew I would love it. I don't know a soul that was lost that day, but I know they are with our loving Heavenly Father.

I have been to New York countless times since the tragedy of 9/11. I love it every time I visit. I've been to the memorial and it has brought tears. I have read many blogs and facebook statuses today each one bringing more tears. I really don't know what more to post than where I was this day 10 years ago and how I feel now, and hope that I am not to redundant on the subject of remembering.

I was on my way to high school listening to the radio as the first plane hit. I didn't fully comprehend what was going on I was only 16, I didn't even know what the twin towers were. In every class I was in that day all we did was watch the T.V. screens in each class as they replayed the planes and as we watched rescue units and newscasters  We sat in silence as our small teenage minds tried to understand how devastating this was. As we tried to understand what we could do. I came home and cried, I had no idea why I was in tears I had no connection to New York in anyway but my tender spirit was scared, scared of what the future would bring, scared for the people that would later serve our country to fight and protect us. But I was also filled with peace, I knew everything would be alright. But it took time to rebuild, I was never there but I have seen the aftermath I have seen the memorials I have seen the hope. It was a terrible event and sometimes I do find myself worried for the future, I worry about bringing life into this scary world and trying to raise it to know that his/her Heavenly Father loves them. That everything will work out and it will, there is a plan and we will live with our Father again and we will feel that peace continually.

It's my birthday

So it's my birthday I'm turning 25... again. Just in case you were wondering I plan on being here for the next ten years and at that point I will turn 29. Here is the conversation I had with my sister a few weeks ago that explains everything. 

Alisha- So how does it feel that you're going to be 26 in a couple weeks. 

Me- EWWAA!! I am turning 25... again.

Alisha- LOL but I thought Steph was turning 25 that would make no sense that Mom was only pregnant for    four month.
Me-She can turn 25, but like I said I am also turning 25. I would like to stay here for the next ten years at least.
Alisha- How old is Derek?
Me-25
Alisha-So after 25 you stay at 25?
Me-Well, I will at least, I am going to allow derek to go along for ten years while I stay 25.
Derek-So now your like a vampire and never age

Me- Well no, I will be 25 for ten years, then I will turn 29. And stay there for a very very long time... it's actually still undetermined.  And I do not sparkle.
Alisha-So in ten years you'll just turn  29?

Alisha- You don't want to be like Mom and amaze people of how young you look for your age.
Me- No because I will look as young as they think I am.
Alisha- Karlie (your niece) would only be 27 only two years younger than you.
Me-umm... I was so young when she was born.
Alisha- Spencer and Austin will have just turned 30.
Me-Yep.
Alisha-How did the oldest suddenly become the youngest? What are you going to tell your kids so they don't blow your cover?
Me-That I never age.

So now that we have our bases covered yes, I am turning 25 again. And I will enjoy it for the next ten years thank you very much.
