Dreams Come True Update!

So FANTASTIC news! I ended up getting into hair school!!!! I got to start last night! It seriously has been so amazing and Ive had sooo much fun! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Life is seriously so amazing! I feel like I am so blessed and even though I am still dealing with some issues, I know this too shall pass and when all the rain clears my rainbow will be shinning BRIGHTLY :D
The important thing right now is I LOVE MY LIFE! :D

Dreams Really Do Come TRUE!

Going to Hair School has been one of my biggest dreams since I was in High School...maybe even Jr High.

I just never thought I would be able to go.

Now that I am here, I decided I am going to try to do all the things I WANT to :)

No holding myself back, no doubting myself, just jump and wait for the net to catch me.

Luckily I have amazing friends and family that keep reminding me making myself happy is what matters the most. I have always put others before myself, which isnt really a bad thing, but when you are never taking time for yourself...it can take its toll.

I also feel so blessed to have a place to live now! I started getting all my stuff settled in tonight, I bought new bedding (Totally girly lol I Love it!) and a bright pink body pillow to snuggle up to at night in my  twin sized bed..haha wierd..but I will get used to it.

When I was filling out the application for Dallas Roberts I was able to talk to the lady in charge of the financial aid and so forth, she helped me get my fasfa filled out and I am eligable for 3500 dollars in grants, but she thinks we can get me more than that so Monday I am going back to get things all figured out.

Honestly I cant even explain how blessed I feel. Ever since I got into town, I feel so much peace and I am actually happy! I spent the day with Becky and her two babies, we had so much fun just shopping around (well I know I had fun, haha her two girls were running away from us anywhere we went so Im not so sure she had that much fun) but we got to eat lunch w Amber and Cheryl at Chilli's yummm. :D hit up happy hour at Sonic . . . all in all it was a great day!
I love having this new found confindence in myself! I now know that no matter what trials we go through, we DO have the choice to make it as easy as we can, or make it harder than ever. As for me... I chose the easy way! :D

Blessings through trials.

So first of all, not only do I have a whole new perspective on my life now, I am learning to LOVE everything around me, I am appriciating the flowers, trees, sky...I am seeing beauty in everything. Learning there are lessons for every step we make in our lives. What dont kill us really will make us stronger.
I feel so blessed ever since I was driving through the canyons yesterday I have felt something so strong, I finally feel like I am HOME :D and today I was given an amazing blessing! I was able to find a place to live! I havent even been here a whole 24 hours and I already have a place to live! :) Its super cute to and I am looking forward to the girls nights with my roommies :) Not only that but it is SUPER close to Dallas Roberts Hair School. Its been a dream of mine to go to hair school since I was a teenager! One of my best friends is going there right now too so I made up my mind and I am finally going to do it! I am finally going to make my dreams become a reality! I cant wait to see what else is to come my way. Although I know this is going to be one of the most trying times I may ever have to go through, I also know that the Lord will ALWAYS be by my side. He will ALWAYS love me and I will FOREVER be gratefull for Him and all He does!

Time for ME

Alot of things have happened to me lately and I am going through some life changing events. I made this blog to help me get my life on the right track. For those of you who have been here for me through each step, thank you, and for anyone who is willing to stick by me from this time on...Thank you!
I know in my heart I have done what is right for me. I know that things will not be easy, but I also know they wil be worth it.

All my love
