Time for an update!!!

Design Team - I am officially a junior at Phagan’s Cosmetology College!!! 850 hours to go! Once you become a junior you are eligible to try out for the design team. Design team consists of 7 individuals that wear shiny aprons that don’t have to consult with the educators and that stay rather busy. I hadn’t planned on trying out because of everything going on right now, but my cousin needed her hair done, so I thought what the heck! We took her from dark brown to blonde. It turned out great, so great that I made the team :] Thanks Kels!

The Move – The weekend before Thanksgiving Jeff made another trip over the pass, but this time with a trailer to move most of my stuff home. I still have 4 months of school left, but I was ready for everything to be home. The house in Corvallis has been a family storage unit for Skye, Sabrina, and I as we have transitioned from one stage of our lives to another. Needless to say there were all kinds of things in the garage that we had forgotten all about! We filled the trailer full and then headed for home. It took me a good week to go through everything and get it all put away. Our house is looking more and more like a home every day. We can’t wait for you to come and visit!

Thanksgiving – We spent Thanksgiving in Prineville with Jeff’s family this year. It was a quick trip, and I was sick with strep throat for most of it, but we’re glad we went. We spent part of the day at his mom’s house, and part of the day at his aunt and uncle’s house. One of my best friends is actually one of Jeff’s cousins. She goes to school in Idaho and we hardly ever get to see each other. She spent Thanksgiving in Prineville too, and we had so much fun catching up. We went to New Moon with all of his cousins on Thanksgiving night and had a great time! It was the first holiday I had ever spent away from my family. Being the homebody that I am, I had a really hard time, but we got through it. Thank goodness for cell phones! All in all it was a great Thanksgiving. I wish we had pictures to post, but being the organized people that we are we remembered the camera, the charger, but no CIM card. Maybe next year!

Bachelor Party– Nathan and Wyatt (2 of Jeff’s groomsman) took him to a Sara Evans concert in Boise on Sunday night. Nathan has some connections in the country music industry and was able to get them front row seats. They had a ton of fun! Jeff took the camera, and supposedly got some good pictures. I’ll post some when I get home. Thanks Nathan and Wyatt!

Wedding - 8 days! Everything is starting to come together. My sisters and I did all the programs last weekend, the young women did all the favors last night for mutual, and my mom has been working nonstop. Thanks Mom… you’re the best! My last day of school was today. Such a relief! I met with the realtor tonight. Hopefully we get some offers soon! I’m headed out first thing in the morning so I can meet Jeff at the court house before 4 o’clock to apply for our marriage license. It is going to be a busy week, but we can’t wait to see how it all turns out!
