One Week Down, 9.75 Months To Go!

Wow. That's about all that I can say! It has been a very quick & busy week..

First of all, the Lord provided a job for Carson! He is working as a sales associate at Sears. He is in the "Tools" department, which also includes sporting goods, lawn & garden, fitness equipment, etc. He went in for orientation and then trained on a computer for a few days in a row. As of right now he is shadowing some other employees, learning the ropes. (Literally, right now as I'm typing this :) ) Soon, he will be working as normal in the evenings. He told me last night that he actually really likes this job, as a salesman.. which is definately a good thing!

Secondly, I began beauty school! There are 9 of us total in my class, so it's really kind of a relaxed atmosphere. We began the week learning what the art of haircutting really is and how the "form" is the basis for any hairstyle. We also talked about the bones in the human skull, face, and arms.. a LOT of information! What made it really click and understandable, was the hands-on activities we did.
We learned our first haircut -- the Classic Bob. After practicing on our mannequine heads 3 or 4 times, we tested on the haircut on Saturday! We also were graded on our blowdry techniques.. I got a 100% and a 95%!

Wednesday-Friday I was feeling really bad.. achey and sick on my stomache. I went to the dr. and found out I had an infection, in which case I was prescribed some medication, and now i'm feeling great! I'm looking forward to going to school this week without having to move around every 5 seconds because of being uncomfortable! Praise the Lord it's going away so quickly!

Carson and I are still waiting to hear when we can actually move into our apartment, but it should be coming up soon!

That's about all that's gone on in our lives in the past week.. maybe something a little more interesting will happen this week...
