Having Fun on Halloween

Halloween is over and I hope everyone had a good one :) My weekend went by very well. We had a family Halloween party on Friday which was super fun! We had tons of games and some great food. Then, on Saturday I got all gussyed up for my friends Halloween party, which was a lot of fun too! I wore a formal dress with a pretty mask and some ballroom gloves. Before I went to the party we had over my family for some yummy chili and hot cider. I handed out candy this year, because of my dad's accident he couldn't. It was hard for him to not cuz Halloween is one of his favorite holidays! But I had a good time seeing all of the cute kids in their costumes. It was also kind of good for me to hand out candy, because between our house and my neighbors the kids were pretty scared until they saw me I guess...haha all of the kids were calling me a princess. So I was the princess in the middle of all the scariness, they would just stare at me and not look at anything else...haha :) Our neighbors did an awesome job! They had their cousins come over to scare kids, they were running up and down the street with their chainsaws. One guy was really creepy, he was dragging a shovel and banging it everywhere. So much fun can't wait until next year! Now that Halloween is over though I am way excited for the Christmas season. Yesterday I took down all of our Halloween outdoor decorations and got the yard all ready for the putting up of Christmas. I know that all of you are probably saying that it is still to early, but we have so much Christmas decorations that it takes pretty much all of November to put them up. Our tradition that we do on Thanksgiving is the turning on of all the Christmas decorations. So busy busy busy it's going to be until then :)

Decorating

Well, me and my mom and dad got most of our decorations up. It looks really good, but I still feel like there is something missing from the graveyard. So I don't want to post any pictures yet because I don't want any of you to see it until it's done! We also still have to get the roof done. My dad's pumpkins aren't quite done yet. We are waiting on the stupid lights to put on. The company has two of the colors but won't send them because they don't have the third. Ugh! Don't they know that we like to get the decorating done by the 1st ahhh! We did the decorating this last weekend and I can not believe how hot it was! We were dying outside. The heat was making me sick, I was in it all day Saturday doing yard work and then all day Sunday decorating. I forgot to wear sunscreen, so I got burned! I wish I would get tan from it, but I am your original white girl. Gets burned red and then goes right back white....haha :) I miss the original weather for Fall. The cool temps and cloudy days; usually for decorating weather we are out there til dark and it would be freezing. I would have to put on a hoodie and you would be able see my breath! It is crazy!!!!

Something New!

Well here I am! I finally started a blog. I am excited to have this and to post things of what is going on in my life. But I am not for sure how any of these things work though.

Well, I guess it's always good to try something new in your life. I know that has been happening a lot to me lately. It's all good things though, like finding out how hard it really is to get a job! It is so hard, I don't really even know how many interviews I went to while I was looking. And they would all tell you the same thing. "We will call you in a couple of weeks", and then you never hear from them. Sometimes people just need to see what you can do before they just judge you from being right out of school.

Then there's the hardships of building a clientele. It involves a lot of work, but I am learning that little by little that all that work pays off. It always seems almost in possible though why you are going through the hardships. Like me finally getting a job at Hazens Photography! I can really say that I love what I do! It is so much fun making people look great and giving them a great experience. That is all coming together at my salon as well. It is tiring sitting there waiting for that phone call of someone wanting a haircut, but when I am actually cutting or styling it is so great!

Well I must go. We will see how well I can do this blogging...haha. I am going to post some of my picture from toady's work at the salon. I handed out flyer's to all the local high schools for homecoming and two girls called and made appointments which I did today. I feel that they turned out really great! I realized today that styling hair is like an artist with a brush and a white canvas. I don't really know what I am going to do or how I am doing it when I am styling but it turns out so beautiful when it's all done!
