Update!

TJay is working for his new job at S3 Entertianment here in Park City. He really enjoys it and he gets full benefits and a raise in 90 days which were excited about. He works part time and lids in the tanger outlet mall.. he's not so happy about working that job but it's only until I start working full time in the salon! I only have 3 weeks left of school! I finish with my license by May 1st and then I walk in graduation May 3rd. I'm not done with school yet but it feels so good to be done with the busiest part!! I can finally start working! From my recent posts you've all heard they plan on shutting the Barbering/Cosmetology program down at SLCC which has been upsetting to me considering I chose that school for a reason and to see all the wonderful Instrustors I was blessed to meet and learn from and the inspiring students to our doing something for themselves as well as their family its heart breaking to me. So we put together a rally in which only 7 students attented. upsetting but maybe they'll rethink when they are left not to finish.. ABC4 news and Fox 13 was there.. Im sorry I will be truthful.. both of them were extremely rude and got my name wrong when I spelled it for them. They didnt cover the facts we gave them and they barley informed the community like we asked. Funny how nice they look on tv to how rude they can be in person. We had the Board of Trustee's meeting. They are over the college. They had their mind made up before we even got the chance to speak.. we were timed and had 2 min to explain why SLCC has the best barbering/ cosmetology program [Ranked 3rd in the nation and 1st in the nation for skills USA] but they could careless what we had to say. Jesslie Anderson, President of the Board of Trustees, said "the decision was not "hasty." but accelerated by the need to find new space for the program. She said "the board needs to focus on programs that give graduates an opportunity to "go out into the workforce and gain meaningful employment!" Not only did this hurt all of our intrustors by seeing this it also was a jab to her very own hairdresser. We were told this career choice only paid 8.75 an hour. I don't know any hairdresser who makes 8.75 an hour. Do you? 

This whole thing doesn't effect me in anyway but I was taught what is right and what is wrong and this is wrong.. I hope something can be done to save this program!!


Easter Weekend!!

Easter Weekend!! 


Me and Teej got to spend easter weekend in Mesquite, Nevada with TJ's family. When I woke up for school friday morning there was a huge snow storm taking place and I wasn't quite sure if I was gonna make it to school. I was almost to the top of parley's summit when they told me they weren't gonna let me go over.. Bummer I was so close... so I headed home. I texted T [who was at work] to tell him I wasn't gonna make it to school, he told me to drive home safe. I got back home and T sent me a text saying to pack our stuff were going to Mesquite. T's family was leaving that friday for a 10 day trip in mesquite. I was so excited!! I love Mesquite. T's famliy goes twice a year and we had to give up last year because of my schooling.. I got all our stuffed packed and ready for when T got home from work. 

T got home around 430 and while he cleaned out the truck I went to get my nails done when I was done it was to Mesquite we go. We drove a 5 1/2 hour drive to warm mesquite we arrived around 10 and then went to dinner at "The Fez" in the Casa Balanca hotel! Yum! Then to bed it was. Saturday we got up early and had breakfast with T's family at "The Fez" then we went back to the RV park. I met up with Tiffany [TJ's cousin's fiance] were we went to walmart to buy white nurse shoes so we could draw on them.. something I have always wanted to do :) 

TJ turned 21 in november of 2011 and he hadn't had the chance to gamble yet.. so while I was coloring shoes with the rest of the fam he was gambling with his dad. He gambled a few times but was never a lucky winner.. bummer!! Tiffany whoever turned 21 this year and had her first time gambling. She bet 40 cents on a penny machine and walked away with a $569.00 win!! Teej was mad ha. But he will sure have his share of gambling when we take our trip to vegas this summer :) 

After dinner we had easter egg dying with all the little ones.. tons of fun! TJ and I planned on leaving sunday morning so we got up early for breakfast and while T gambled again I went to the pool with tiffany to get our tan in. We didnt stay long cause tiffany is getting married soon and she didnt want tan lines :) but it was fun to catch up and have some good ol warm weather. Loved the warm weather comsidering we left a huge snow storm at home :) after all that we gathered around to make our every year t-shirts and do the easter egg hunt.. me and T together had $7 yay!! We had a great easter weekend :)
