DAY 175!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy cow Batman! Were almost halfway through the year since I started this blog! But I do have to share some pictures I stumbled across...

This one is of Emily and myself. This was taken in 2006 I believe. Shes was my first roommate EVER!

This one is of Me, Amy, and Emily. We had a thing for knee socks back then. This was taken in 2006 as well...

That year was the most insane year because Emily and I went on so many road trips to Idaho. And thats when she became one of my best friends. Now were both old and married. She has a cutie pie little boy who makes me smile! I love spending time with her and her little family. Im crossing my fingers that they will soon be moving back down to Provo!!! Thats also when I met my first Canadian (Amy). Shes the craziest girl I ever lived with! I miss her alot but hope that she is doing well.

Anyways... Things are great here in our world. Payne and I are both working for VIVINT. If you have NO idea what that is heres a link to the website... We love the company and all that they stand for. The catch phrase for all their advertisements is "VIVINT. Live Intelligently" I work in the Account Creations department and Payne works in Service Support. I talk to Sales Reps and Service Technicians all day and he talks to Service Techs and answers emails all day. Okay so thats all I have for right now but things are finally starting to look up again...

Day 169

So Im thinking about alot of things we take for granted. Alot of missed opportunities. So as of April 1st I will be looking for every chance to experience life.

Day 163

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered whats to come?

I was watching The Buried Life last night on netflix and it got me thinking. I need to change a few things in my life to make my dreams possible. That means freeing up my weekends. That means finding a job that is a regular 9-5. That means a job that doesnt physically drain me and emotionally drain me. So here goes nothing... My next chapter in life. WOOHOO

Day... Oh I dont even know anymore....

So its been almost a month since ive posted and that is not what I am all about. So I am here to tell you all about the craziness in my life. Payne quit Olive Garden. Sometimes I want to strangle him but whatever. Theres not alot I can do about that. I have been having the worst time at the salon. All the pain from my shoulder, elbow, and wrist are getting to be too much and so I am looking to find a good office job and work there till the fall. Then high ho high ho its off to school I go. I don't know what to think about any of that right now. Its so much swimming around in my head. The stress of being the only one working at a job that is slowly killing my body is just no fun. Dont get me wrong. I love doing hair and will never truly stop doing it but this time I know that I need the break from it. Thats why I think its time for me to go back to school and get a degree. Then I can own salons and still be part of the industry and not work just behind the chair. So dont worry my cute little friends who are my biggest fans. I will still take care of you out of my house just not in a salon setting.

Which brings me to my next subject. I am so freaking excited for summer. Let me elaborate. Since moving to Utah the weather hasn't been about 40 degrees. EVEN WHEN THE FREAKING SUN IS OUT!!!!! Dont believe me? Heres a little pic to prove Im not crazy... Now mind you that forecast says its going to get warmer... YEAH... We shall see. Plus im also excited for summer because I bought the ultimate summer pass... AKA The Pass Of All Passes. Its a Seven Peaks and other locations party pass to get into anything for an entire year. So on saturday every weekend this summer you will find me floating in the lazy river with sunglasses on. Thats one other thing im looking forward to about a regular 8-5 monday thru friday job. WEEKENDS ARE FREE!!!!!!!!!!! We can actually go places and see our people. The only thing im worried about it Missys graduation. And Dillons graduation. OH GUESS WHAT?!?!

Yeah just thought I should mention that. Okay im over it... See ya!

Day 133

So it's been a little while since I've had the time to sit down and write. Life has been hectic with work, Payne's school, and his work as well. So here goes nothing... I took over managing a salon in Springville and I really like it except for a few hiccups... But that's not something I'm going to air out on the Internet. But the owner I work for is awesome. I like how he really trusts me and let's me run the salon. Missy, Payne's sister, came to visit last week. It was so nice to have her here for a few days. I felt horrible on Sunday because I slipped on the ice in front of our apartment and landed flat on my back. I think I had a minor concussion but I couldn't stand up straight or dress myself alone until yesterday. I'm so thankful for Payne and all he does for me. I haven't done any crafts lately but that's okay. I will soon. I am just getting used to all the changes and everything going on in life. But I do promise I will try harder about posting. I'm sorry. XOXO Jordan

Day 120

I did a lot today...
I cleaned my salons dispense. I cleaned the back room half way. I am about to hire someone new. I'm about to fire someone. Now I'm watching Harriet the Spy. This movie brings back a lot of sad elementary school memories...

Day 113

I've been thinking lately... Which is dangerous... And then I realized something. I'm very sick. I work incredibly hard. Those two should never go together. I love the salon and I enjoy doing hair but its not what I want anymore. Like I've said before I feel like I'm worth more than what some people are willing to pay. Payne is in this crazy intro to entrepreneurship and I've been reading the book that goes along with the class. I feel like I could do a lot more than what I'm doing right now. I'm thinking about setting up my own etsy shop that I can start selling my creations on. Then I can start selling my dresses on there and start "Cinderella's Closet" from there. I want to get to the point where I can work from home and even from bed when I'm not feeling very well (which is a lot lately). I think I may even start a Facebook page for all my creations. I hope it all works out. I need to do something different. Xoxo
