I Got A New Job

Last week I went in to get my haircut and the salon I went to was looking for an esthetician. To make a long story short- I got the job! And it turns out it is right across the "grove" from the spa I've been working at. I really liked the Green Muse, but wasn't a big fan of the owner- at all! So today I started my new job at Hair On Fire and ended up quitting the Green Muse. I love Hair On Fire!! They've been around for 15years now, but just expanded to include the spa part about a year and 1/2 ago. The salon part is huge, but the spa part is still growing. When I don't have appointments I am helping the owner out with all the front desk work, talking to customers and checking them out so that I can talk to them about the spa services and talk them into getting facials, waxings, etc. And I'll be making so much more money than I was at the Green Muse:) This salon/spa is almost exactly what I want my spa to be like, so it's perfect! I'm definitely seeing what all it takes to own your own spa; and it's alot more stressful than I thought- but definitely worth it.

Pat and I went to a massage school yesterday and talked with the admissions director. I'm seriously thinking about getting my massage therapy license as well. I keep going back and forth between massage and hair. To get my cosmetology license it would be about a year as well, but the closest decent school is an hour drive. So I don't know! I'm still weighing it all out. I just have to decide by May 1st or I won't be able to start massage school until September!

PS- Pat and I got our tickets last night to go back to The Woodlands for Laura's wedding! We get in about 10am on Wed, June 25th and leave that following Monday morning. We can't wait to go back; we haven't been back since our wedding!

It Sure Has Been Awhile...

Things have been so crazy lately I haven't even had time to make another post. To sum it all up: about two months ago my dad had a business trip in D.C. so he drove down and stayed with us for the weekend. He was our very first guest to stay with us! We had so much fun; we drove to Williamsburg, went out to eat, and played a whole lot of Monopoly (Pat sure got into it!). Two weeks after that my mom and I flew down to Miami and stayed with Sophie for a couple nights. We had a BLAST! It was mid- February and nearly 80 degrees outside! We all had such a great time catching up, seeing where Sophie worked, going to a few clubs, going to the beach and shopping.

I finally got a job at the cutest little boutique and spa about a month ago and I'm really liking it there. I'm their only esthetician there right now and I work with the owner and assistant manager, Bethany. Bethany and I have gotten really close. She's so nice; it's so good to have finally made a friend up here:)

Pat has been really busy with work and school. I really don’t know how he does it; he works a good 40 hour week working shift work, takes an online history class, and goes to his calculus class two nights a week (and has an A in it!). And y'all know Pat- the over achiever, so even though he has so much on his plate he still gives his all in everything he does.
