I love my family. If you have ever seen the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” or if you know us personally you would know there is never a laid back moment and when there is it’s actually very awkward. But we decided to do a family grocery shop today and oh my goodness. It was definitely entertaining. I’m not a huge fan of grocery shopping. It makes me feel tired, annoyed and as though I’ve never possessed any patience in my life. But at the end of the day I’m glad we are the way we are. We may be loud and dysfunctional at times but we are still family :)

My parents are in the middle of remodeling their bedroom so tonight I went with them to pick out paint and came back to help them paint. I have come to the conclusion God did not give me the gift of painting. I so strongly dislike it and halfway in the middle just felt like quitting. I was not born a Picasso and now I know why, I don’t have the patience for it at all. But it does look pretty good!! Tomorrow is my first full day at the salon. I’m pretty excited. My outfit is all picked out, coffee is ready for morning and I even have a cute headband lol….

Wow I haven’t blogged in awhile. Sorry friends :( I’ve had school on my plate and trying to juggle everything else. I guess that’s called responsibility or something like that anyhow, I’m back with some pretty rad updates. I’ve recently graduated school with a license in Esthetics...

I know no one knows what it means so let me explain. It’s basically a skin therapist and a makeup artist. I really love doing those things and it makes people feel good plus me stuck at a desk job would be death. I have the attention span of a 2 yr old...Ok maybe 5 yr old. I get bored easy but I can make my own fun which leads me to my story about getting suspended from school for 2 days. I know you’re probably thinking I've gone down the wrong way no I was just trying to have fun. So let me paint you a picture of the upcoming events that led to this discovery of new found fun. I would sit at school for 8 hrs a day...yes 8 hrs. I would have a class once a week and then do clinicals on clients or on my friends. You can only do so much of that without wanting to spice it up right? It was a Thursday and Thursdays seemed to be our days we would get into trouble, it wasn’t bad stuff just talking loud or being on YouTube but this night was different. There was a headless bride in the corner of the wax room. Disturbing I know. But we had this teacher her ability to laugh was gone. She liked my friend and I some days and other days decided it was a "Not like them" day. It was closing on a Thursday night so our prank wouldn’t affect business. There was an arch way that lead to the wax room and as soon as you would turn towards the right there "it" stood in all its glory...headless and creepy, we moved it to be standing in the arch way so when she would be so adamantly checking on us to see if we were doing that stuff she said it would make her laugh. Well, she NEVER LOOKED OR SAW IT! Complete ruin of a good joke! So we had our fun and laughed about it and by closing it was moved back. Well somehow it was then moved the next day and placed in the bathroom with a mannequin head on top!! Hilarious, but I can’t take credit for it. So they found it that day and everyone was mad!! None of the teachers laughed at the joke. But the next day I went in and people kept coming up saying they were so mad and talking out kicking the person/s out of school. So I thought this person was just trying to be all dramatic but come to find out she completely snitched on my friend and I and accused us of the bathroom incident. Sooo that is how my friend and I got suspended! MOVING A HEADLESS BRIDE TO AN ARCH WAY!! I’ve never gotten suspended and I get in trouble for this? Anyhow it then turned into a big joke and the night we graduated we most definitely needed a famous picture with this bride!! I shall call her...Gertrude the headless bride.

After awhile you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn
That love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t always mean security
And you begin to learn
That kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With a grace of a women, not the grief of a child
And you learn
To build all your roads on today
Because tomorrows ground is
Too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down
In mid flight
After awhile you learn
That even sunshine burns
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone
To bring you flowers
And you learn you really can endure
You really are strong
You really do have worth
And your learn with every goodbye

Relationships are an important part of life. We begin a relationship with someone from the moment we are born and most of us will continue in relationships of some sort until the day we die. God encourages relationships. The Bible is full of them. It is obvious that from the beginning of time, people need people.

I’m the type of person that always has to have the last word in. And when I cant or am not given the opportunity it kills me. I think there’s a number of reasons why this gets to me, a few of those being… for one, It makes me feel like I failed at something. Secondly, It makes me feel like I didn’t have the chance to fix it or the worst of them all is thirdly, I wasn’t good enough or important enough to be given the time. Now, all of those reasons could be completely wrong and I could possibly be way too stubborn to believe that and that could be very likely with me. Being a young adult and trying to figure out this whole relationship thing while not loosing who I am or what my heart needs and desires is a struggle to say the least. Then, you have to factor in the fact I want someone who believes the same and loves the Lord with his whole heart. Something I’m realizing is you can go on believing things could/will change but you should never have to take the time to change that person, that’s not our job. I think our job in a relationship is to be there for the person, be their best friend, and be strong for them when they feel weak or just take time for that person.
