I didn't know Euphoria Institute could be fun!

So I actually had a lot of fun at school on Wednesday. (It has been a very long time since I have had fun at that place. ) On Tuesday we were told to bring a Christmas decoration for tomorrows activity but we were not told what we were going to do with it so I brought a bow. When we got to school the next day they told us we were to incorporate our decor into an up do. (Now if I would have known that I would have brought something a little more interesting.) When we were all done, keep in mind no one really puts effort into something when it is on a mannequin, they told us that all the heads were being judged. The entire school came to judge them. That was a lot of fun but the best part of the day was decorating our little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. One of the girls found it outside and as a class we decorated it with all of our extra decorations. It's kind of a stupid idea but we had a lot of fun decorating our class Christmas tree. ha ha! These are some of the pictures from the day.

Our Night Out!

Christmas Mood!

So I've been done with my Christmas shopping pretty much since the day after thanksgiving so I haven't really felt in the Christmas mood until these past few days. And this is why:

1. My Aunt and Uncle came in from California. They always come the weekend of the rodeo. With them they bring a Christmas present (gotta love presents) and the best candies ever. They only make them in Bakersfield so my mom and I wait patiently all year to get some.
2. Josh and I went to the live nativity last night. It was the same as last years except for the cast of the show. Our friend Chris was a shepherd in it this year. His dad was also in it. We went to support him even though it was very cold outside. But what is winter without coats and gloves.
3. Josh's Christmas party was tonight. I had a lot of fun there too. We got to dress up (or at least I did, Josh always wears a shirt and a tie so this was like his everyday clothes for him). It was at the Revere Country Club in Anthem. We bought A LOT of raffle tickets but apparently not enough tho because we didn't win a darn thing. We split the tickets so we both had 24. I put 2 of my tickets in a box to win a scrapbook kit, 2 into win a $100 gift card to Target, and the rest all 20 of them into the box to when a trip to Disneyland. But no such luck :(

This is what make Christmas my favorite holiday. You get to go to fun little events that you normally don't. And you can always count on dressing up and enjoying a night out. You gotta love Christmas!!!

Just Some Pictures

Here are just a few pictures to go along with my last post.

What I've Been Up To...

Well I have been very busy so I haven't had time to update in a while but this is what I've been up to...

• Have welcomed 2 new baby cousins in to the world. Hadyen Elizabeth (girl) and Kaden Cole (boy). They were born 7 weeks early and both weighed under 4 pounds. Both are still in the hospital but we are able to go see them still. Hopefully they will be home before Christmas.
• Had a great thanksgiving. Enjoyed lots of turkey with all of my family. Even my sister came down from college.
• My brother came into town for the thanksgiving weekend. I got to see my niece and meet my future nieces and nephew. My brother is getting married the last week in December and his fiance has 2 twin girls and a son. (needless to say between the twins and the nieces and nephew my family has grown a lot since the last update)
• Josh and I went out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We usually go but this year we decided to go to Best Buy at 5 am for the opening. Not to shop though just to see the crazy people that stood in the line all night. By the time we got to Target we decided to was too cold to wait and that we were hungry so we went and got breakfast and then continue shopping.
• School is still dragging. I have came to the conclusion that this school is not all that it was cracked up to be when I went on my initial tour. Very unorganized and the entire staff has changed since I have been there. So heads up...anyone thinking about attending Euphoria Institute don't go to Green Valley campus. Who knows the other locations may be better.
• Enjoying the Christmas season. I love Christmas. I wish it could last longer. I love the lights, gifts, shopping, family get together, and the events put on around town. My favorite is the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village.
• Today I decorated my station at school with lights, garland, and little tree. I'll post a picture later. It is very simple but still cute.

...And that's what I've been to.

FYI

I was on barnesandnoble.com tonight looking for some books that I am going to put on my christmas list and I found out that it cost the exact same price (including shipping) as it does buying it in the store. Online they offer a 30% discount off the regular price of the book and that is about how much shipping adds up to be making it really close to the same price. I figured this would help those who hate going out with the crowds during the holidays or just dont have time to make it to the bookstore in the mist of everything else and would rather it come right to your door step.

Just An Update!

I haven't blogged in a while so I figured I would give an update on what's been going on starting back from Halloween.

• Halloween was not as fun as it used to be. I loved seeing the little kids all dressed up, eating the candy that I was suppose to be passing out, and eating my mom's famous homemade mac 'n' cheese (a Halloween tradition).
• Held a cut-a-thon on the 1st of the month.
• Tried going to the movies both weekends but haven't had much luck there.
• Went to a juice tasting party. The juice was called Mona Via. It was made of 16 different juices and is suppose to be the best thing for you. I didn't like the taste though. It was healthy and I didn't like it. Imagine that?
• Have gone to the gym. Probably only once though since my last post. I'm not as disciplined as Josh.
• Got my hair colored and cut. Love the color. The cuts a little short but the ends really needed to be cut and its just hair it will grow back.
• Meet with the registar at my school. Found out my graduation date is February 19th. I am able to make up a total of 64 hours though. After those are made up my graduation date will be February 7th. It couldn't come any sooner. The sooner I graduate the sooner I get to go to Disneyland. (that is my graduation gift from my parents!!)
• I have had pretty much all my clients not show up or cancel within the past 2 weeks. I finally had a good turn out yesterday. These 2 clients were 2 of the best I have had since I've been in school. Made $35 in tips and they were just so much fun to talk to and hang out with. And better yet...their hair turned out good!!
• Went to a jewelry party. I wish I was rich because I would have bought some stuff. The line was really expensive. The host had some really good food though.
• Went bowling with Jeff and Amber. Josh beat me the first game and I was just warming up that round to win the second.

Besides all this it has just been school and work and that is all!!
