Whoa, How do I sleep?!?

Wow! Time flies!! I can't believe it's been so long since I've done this. It seems to me that every year gets faster and faster, I can't believe it's April!!

My life has been pretty busy the last few months. I went to Vegas the end of February for a Paul Mitchell hair show and it was AMAZING!! I met some awesome people and learned a whole heck of a lot. I learned some mad skills from the best in the hair industry including; Stephanie Kachoski, Angus Mitchell, Noogie Tye, Kevin Michaels, Dave Holland, Scott Cole, Takoshi, Winn Claybaugh...just to name a few. And All I have to say is Dave Holland and Angus Mitchell are major hotties. I was grateful to be in the presence of such beautiful men! Anyways to sum it up Vegas=Amazing. At least for the hair show. I'm not sure I would want to go there for anything but a hair show...it wasn't for me...but that's another story!!

Angus and I (pictured to the right) had a wonderful meeting. I was looking at his wicked sweet cutting combs when he came up behind me and asked if I liked them. I said..."Yeah, they're tight!" Then I turned around and it was him! Love at first sight!! I kinda freaked inside and stumbled over my words before asking if I could please have a picture! He said Oh yeah for sure and my heart melted. He put his arm around me and pulled me in tight as Alissa snapped the picture! I stood there for a minute taking in deep breaths to smell his amazing cologne. I knew we had a moment. And I think Kelsey Mitchell sounds rather cute :)

I had met Dave Holland before. He came into the school to teach us and he has been a huge mentor since then. When I saw him at Caper I knew I had to chat with this amazing stylist. We exchanged emails and he told me to contact him anytime with any questions. I have since emailed him and he is always quick to respond. He is so amazing and so very nice. I really do love Dave Holland.

I turned the big one-eight in March! (That's 18 for all of you who didn't catch that one) It was pretty sweet. I can now buy dry ice and spray paint. I haven't...but I could if I wanted to. It's kinda weird knowing I've been on my own going to college for almost a year and NOW because of a number I'm an adult. Kinda crazy! But if you need me to go buy you some NyQuil because your sick. Give me a ring...because I can!!

For my wonderful birthday I was blessed with very wonderful gifts! I decided I have to greatest mom in the history of the world. No joke! I told my mom one day way back when that I loved the Lava cakes from Olive Garden with the white chocolate sauce and the strawberries. (It's a must if you haven't had it) Anyways she went and got 12 count it TWELVE of them from Olive Garden just for my birthday!!! Isn't that the cutest thing ever!! And because it was Daniels birthday too...she made him a cake. (obviously I'm the favorite) Now you would think that little dessert on it's own would be good enough, right? No. My mom then surprised me with two David Archuleta tickets!! Ahh man it was a great day!! And of coarse I can't forget the WWC action figures chris got me, the hoddie from Hollister from Daniel, and who could forget a Yankees key chain from Jon. It was sooo great!! I Love LoVe LOVE my family!!!

And if your wondering...Texas Road house has rockin birthday brownies!!

Speaking of the David Archuleta concert! That was AWESOME!!! I decided after much debate to take my sister Sarah because she's married and does NOTHING and I love her and knew we would have tons of fun! And we did!! Our seats? Of lets just say dead center....row number...six....thats right 6!!! We were so close. Want to know something else rockin. All the girls in front of us...not kidding were like 10 so it was like we were in row numero uno. I could see the sweat on his face. I kinda felt like I was at some Spice Girls concert with all the little girls that were there but what can I do. I thought it was funny when people asked me the next day if he was any good live. HELLO HOMIES! He placed 2nd on American Idol. Pretty sure he was freaking amazing!! It was so good I was thankful for the opportunity to go. (Thanks mom and Frank)

School is going...well....good. I made design team which rocks!! I'm stoked to get doing that. But I recently took a month off and won't be back until the 12th. I love doing hair and I love meeting new people. But I don't love beauty school girl drama. I needed a little time off so I could chill and possibly sleep in ;) I'll be done the end of October which is longer than I thought but I'm cool with it. Rexburg isn't so bad after all. However, I love being home and eating all my moms amazing home cooked meals. It's great!

My Canadian family has finally decided to join us in the states!! They moved down to Blackfoot last week and are chillen at my moms until they find a house. They are very excited for the new journey and we are SOO excited to have them here!

I'm in the play Cinderella in Blackfoot. Kinda crazy, this is totally something out of my bubble. But I'm growing and learning a lot. Oh and my part? I'm Cinderella!! My prince being my good high school friend Chaston Ellis. Kinda weird. But kinda fun. It's something new and I love the dress I get to wear so life is good! Should be fun!! Come see it if you need a good laugh. It is sure to bring a few :)
