The Feeling of Spring

Is it just me, or does this time of year always bring back old, familiar feelings? As the weather starts to warm up, and the sun makes it SO much easier to wake in the morning, I am reminded of end of year tests, graduations, pulling out the summer clothes (which never seem to fit quite the way they did last summer...). This year I am brought back to when I was starting to date Lorne.

This is also a season of change! Kiddos are growin' up... Brett graduates. That's crazy to me! Man. His prom dinner was a success and I loved helping my mom out. She's so cool! Seriously. I never appreciated her in quite the way I do now that i'm married and living on my own. I hope one day I can be half the woman she is.

I anticipate finishing hair school this summer. I can't BELIEVE there is an end! I see the light at the end of the tunnel... the light I honestly sometimes thought i'd NEVER see. But, there it is. Riiiiight in front of me. I'm really going to be licensed? Yes I am! It's such an awesome thought. But, I do realize starting out in the field will sort of be like, school; phase number two. I expect to learn a lot once I actually get out there. I almost feel like you hit a certain point in school when your close to being done, and you are just sort of sitting there until you get out in the "real world". But... I am SO excited.

You CAN be pretty much anything you want! You really, really can. I promise. I know it seems dumb that i'm saying this over being a cosmetologist, but let me tell you. There WAS a day when the idea of me doing hair was nothing but an "in the distant and hopeful future" thought. I knew I was going to start school, but honestly, the thought of finishing was... I don't know? Unreal? But guess what. It's real. Sooo real.

Probably I won't normally post so frequently... as least not right now. I'm just so excited about blogging! It's just a lot of fun. It's like, the new way to keep up a journal. So this is good for me. Really it is. Okie doke. Until next time!
