"Rock On"


As you know extensions are getting really popular and more affordable. At the Las Vegas hair show there were tons of vender's selling extensions, and I asked to see some. Well this Japanese lady really wanted me to buys some, so I let her put them in my hair to see what she could do. I could feel that a huge chunk of my hair wasn't blended. Then I got a brilliant idea....so I asked her with an anxious and excited face if my friend could take a picture. She agreed, and when I saw the picture it only confirmed the mental image I had that I looked like the lead singer of "metallica" (1980's era). And to all those who are wondering...No I didn't buy them, Tempting though.

Vegas Baby!!



A few weeks ago I was down in Vegas for the hair show. It was a lot of fun, and I got some great new tools. We went to the "knights of the round table" dinner at the Excalibur, and loved it. We also ate at wolf Gang Pucks, and I had the best calazone in my whole life. Someday when I am rich I will fly there to eat one, and then fly home. We also watched the famous impersonators show, Micheal Jackson was really good. That show was a bit of a surprise.... When the music started and the dancers entered from the side of us...da da da daaaa! Bums bums and more bums with bowas, and sparkling bra's, I don't think we have ever laughed so hard! What did we expect? I don't know we do have sheltered minds living in Utah. We are probably the only people on the earth that didn't expect to see some skin at a Las Vegas Show. Too Funny.

"Only the good die young"



The last year has been rewarding, inspiring, fulfilling, stressful, and just plain hard. In fact it has been the hardest year of my life. I know that I am so blessed, so I keep my head up and press forward. A lot of things have contributed to my stress including: Graduating, working two jobs, starting my own business, physical problems, and the death of my dad. I think of him all the time, and it's funny the things you think of about heaven when someone dies. It's hard for me to put into words how much I miss him. I think of him a thousand times a day. I was privileged to spend many hours with him before his passing, he couldn't say much but I sat beside him holding his hand. I was holding his hand and whispering loving thoughts to him as he took his last breathe. I am forever changed from that moment. It has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through in life. To let someone you love go, to not try and stop them or stand in there way, but unselfishly let them go...... I know that he is in a better place. I imagine him running, jumping, laughing doing all the things that he hasn't been able to do for so long. His body was his prison, now he is free to enjoy paradise. I love you Dad!
