salon shopping

so since saturday i had been a stressed out mess!!!

we found out that limelight will be closing it's doors on saturday march 28th.

sooo sad....i loved all the people there and it was so stress/drama free!

after taking it in all day on saturday and sunday, i finally realized that

"everything's gonna be alright"

it was hard for me to keep retelling the story to people so i waited until monday to start telling friends, and of course i let my family know that day. well after shopping around about 5 different salons in the area...chelsea and i agreed on "belle cheveux" 

i think we are both REALLY excited, but also nervous to get to know new people

and find out how our clientele will continue to grow!

so cross your fingers for us, and wish us luck! our first week will be starting on the 30th!

birthday celebrations!

on sunday we had a bbq at the park for brandy's birthday and we just hung out and enjoyed amazing weather and awesome friends!

lorraine grilled up some mean carne asada...in addition to the chicken, burgers, and hot dogs we had! and i made brandy a lil b-day cake, but i had to leave early cuz chili's crashed my party...and i worked my booty off the rest of the nite. (hence the reason i am wearing a really cool chili's shirt out in public at a b-day party!)

at the beginning of the month, we celebrated shauna's birthday at cheescake factory! it was fun to catch up with the 

girls and have a relaxing nite off!

our waiter was a lil goofy, but he entertained us. and we went with the caramel de leche cheesecake for shauna's "cake"!

happy birthday girls! love ya lots!!!

valentine's day

for valentine's day i made these cute cupcake boxes for my family! they were fun to make and i found the boxes @ albertson's on sale for $2 each! everyone loved them, and i hope they tasted as good as they looked! it was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting...from none other than betty crocker! ;o)

as for 2009, it has been a BUSY year already!

me and two of my best girl friends rang in the new year at red rock! we had a blast hanging out and we even ran into two of the ladies from the real housewives of orange county, vikki and tamara, @ cherry! so i asked them to take a pic with us. they were friendly and we all talked for a minute, but then we made our way to the dance floor! **happy 2009**

i went back to csn part-time at the end of january. i'm hoping to get my associate's in small business management! maybe later i will try for a bachelor's, but for now i am thinking baby steps! 

things have started picking up at the salon and i'm getting some new clientele which is amazing, but also keeps me longing for more sleep!!! and i am STILL serving 3 sometimes 4 days a week @ chili's too! i will probably hang on to this job a lil while longer cuz the health benefits and extra income. i'm not able to survive off of only the salon yet! about a month ago chili's closed 4 locations in vegas, and i was shocked and really upset for those who had lost their jobs. i know that i need to really be thankful to still be working! so between the two jobs and school i've pretty much "maxed" out all my time!

on feb. 3rd my sister, kristy, had her second lil one! we welcomed nixon anthony into the world @ 2:13 a.m. 

he is such a handsome lil bug and i love him to pieces!

kenzie has been a awesome big sis, but also seems to be a lil upset to have to share the limelight with him too!

hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the new year also! and much love to everyone <3

here are some pics from nye and some of nix and kenz!
