Hair School

*Me with an updo my friend sami practiced on me. It was really cute.

My no hair project. Read below for an explanation.

Yes that is a bird and it is supposed to look like a nest.

So I've just finished up my 4th week of cosmetology school and all and all I love it! We've done lots of different things. So far I've done manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup application, virgin relaxers, retouch relaxers, virgin tint/lightner, retouch tint lightner, highlights, perms, roller sets, 0 degree haircut, 45 degree haircut, and of course styling, updo's, blowdrying, shampooing. We've learned a lot all the stuff with product we've just used cholesteral to mock our manikins with but we've learned how to put it on correctly. Oh we've also done lash and brow tints, fake lash application, and waxing.

You have to have 1500 hours to graduate and after 4 weeks i have 139.5 hours. At 350 hours i get to work on clients. Right now we've just been doing each other and manikins.

It is safe to say I love love love cosmetology school. When I'm working on something I just am having so much fun. I know this is the right career for me because I have been so happy the past month. John can testify! We've had two tests on our text book and I've got 98% and 100%. i've only missed one question so far.

I just finished up a no hair project. We get a bald manikin to take home and we have to design it using anything but hair. There are some pretty cool ones at school like marge simpson, edward scissor hands, a geshia, and a pharaoh. So mine is themed autumn. I decided to make it some what of a birds nest. It has a bird on top and I put twigs into a spray painted styrofoam tube. I also glued glitter leaves all over it. The photos don't do justice but let me know what you think. Have I mentioned I love hair school?

Cardinals Photos

*Hot Hubby at with the field in the back ground.

*I can't go to a baseball game with out getting cracker jacks it would be sacreligious. It was pretty sacreligious when I opened them up and the toy inside was a red soxs tattoo.

Oh yah and you have to get a hot dog with sauerkraut!!! Yum!! and you had to get nachos and hot chocolate but I opted out of those photos.

Of course we forgot our cameras but luckily our phones take okay photos. So all the photos are from our phones. Best Date ever!!

Cute couple! We are so excited. I wish there were more games this year. i am for sure going to a couple next year. I loved it!

*Busch Staduim is amazing. I love that you can see the St. Louis Arch right from the stadium.

This place is huge but i felt like we had pretty good views of everything. The white ants are cardinals the blue ants are marlins. No the photo doesn't represent how close it was in real life.

Take me out to the Ball Game!

Last night John and I went on a big date to our first ever Professional Baseball game. It was my first professional sport of any kind. It was the Cardinals vrs. Marlins. It was so much fun. We had a neighbor boy tend kaysen and we rode the metrolink down to Busch Stadium. That was fun too. Busch Stadium is amazing. Alougth we were really high up we had such a good view it was crazy. I don't think a seat in that place is a bad one. We were by third base. We got hot dogs, nachos, and cracker jacks. Sorry no peanuts. It even looked as if the cardinals would win. They scored in the bottom of the 7th then the marlins scored in the 9th. So the game went two extra innings and the marlins scored in the 11th. We left right before they scored in the 11th because it looked like they would with a man on 2nd, 3rd, and only 1 out. We had to get home to relieve the babysitter. It was awesome. I loved it. We will have to do it more often next year. When we got home kaysen (and the baby sitter) were alseep. I don't blame him though it was late. This morning Kaysen woke up crying. We asked him why he was crying and he said because "his friend was gone. He couldn't find him anywhere." How cute huh. That makes me happy he had so much fun. We'll for sure use him again. I'll put some photos up of the game and us after school today.
