Grad Ceremony and Moving

Yesterday was raining pretty bad. I left work early so I could get ready to attend my Aunt's Graduation Ceremony for Thomas Nelson Community College. I wanted to stop by the grand opening of a CATO store that just opened up in Norfolk, but the way the rain was coming down and all the traffic...because you know people do not know how to drive in rain...let alone DRIVE AT ALL! hahahaah  Ill have to go to CATO this weekend sometime.

Im so proud of my Aunt Beth, she has been back in college for a couple years and she worked so hard too. She would call me up to help her with her math problems...like I could actually remember....hahaha
The whole family went to watch her walk across and receive her certificate and degree diploma (she has two majors I think).

 While we were waiting for her to go across the stage, we were getting a lil snap happy with our cameras....my Aunt Dale and my cousin, Marina.

For my outfit...it was really cute, and half of it I borrowed from my mom's closet! hahaha My mom and I have different styles but we like alot of the same things! She was surprised that the sweater I was wearing was hers! hahaha I paired this outfit with my favorite silver glitter shoes I got from Charlotte Russe.

Jermie and I finished up our packing tonight that we were too tired to do last night. Luckily Jermie works at Target, so he got us these HUGE boxes....and we came home and did Speed Packing....you shouldve seen Jermie just throwing clothes and shoes and whatever was nearby into boxes.....hahahaha.

I already got two of my packages...the chair and the portable sink...so it was perfect timing since were getting a uhaul truck tomorrow. Im so excited that Jermie and I are going to be in our place. We have always had roomates or shared a home with other people....and its time we had our own place!

I need to get to bed since I am going into work early so I can leave early! So good night and I hope you had a great week! If youre having a rough day like I did today....just remember..its only temporary and whatever problems you are stressing about, let them go. Everything will work out on its own.

Almost April

As always, the months keep flying by so quickly and alot has been happening. So once again, a new update. I keep saying I want to blog more, but life keeps happening, but I am gonna hunker down and just do it. I will try to blog every day, its going to be a personal goal of mine.

The biggest updates I have is that the cosmetology school I attended held a graduation ceremony for all those students who graduated from December to March. This included myself and most of my classmates. It was a really nice colorful ceremony and I can tell the students and staff went all out to make it special for us graduates! We even had "Oscar" awards that were golden mannequin heads! I received one for "Best Hugs" hahahaha I always hugged everyone because it puts a smile on everyones face. I mean, who doesnt want a hug???

Since I work at Xotic Eyes, of course I had to rock one of our designs to add some fun to my makeup look.

It was good to see my classmates and other students that I havent seen in a while. I made some best friends while attending Rudy & Kelly Academy. It made me miss my Paul Mitchell Family so much.

My husband AKA my camera paparazzi took pictures for me! I was so proud to have him there supporting me while I attended school!

My Terry and I! She made the Deans List- first ever for our school. I am so stinkin proud of her! You go Terry!

With teh amazing Ms. Karen! I love her so much!

I wanted to share this moment with everyone! The program at Paul Mitchell is almost a year long and I was really apprehensive about even attending hair school, but it turned out to be the most amazing experience of my life! It was the first time I graduated and completed any type of school, even though I attended 3 colleges prior, I was never able to complete any degrees and I am so proud to have finished this program!

It has opened more doors for me than I can count and I have met some lifelong friends that I will always be in touch with. I hope you enjoyed "attending" with me! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
