"It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had."

A new day, a new adventure

This will have to be shorter than I had planned due to the fact that I still need to shower, and upon my blogs arrival I decided that it just HAD to have spring flowers on it. :)


I am seeking out CHANGE. I will not go in to the gory details of my relationship on here, however I do think its become a tid bit boring in many aspects. Very predictable, not so much comfortable, and I can't decide if we are entering the were just really good friends zone...
This could all just be because its the winter and I go C-R-A-Z-Y come January, and would you look at that, RIGHT ON TIME! No, but seriously, I used to be the most adventure seeking person and than I went ahead and fell in love with someone who really isn't that spontaneous or out going in circles other than his own. Which is cool, but with the knowledge that we most likely will not be getting married anytime in the near (or potentially far away) future, I think a switch has flipped. All of a sudden all I want to do, is whatever the heck I feel like doing, whenever I feel like doing it. Almost like a single minded lady. WHAT? Spring just has so much prospect for change and ADVENTURE, and I decided I am going to go ahead and jump on that wave. If Mr. wants to come a long, than he will make up his mind to do so. But I came to the conclusion that in this relationship, for the majority of the 2 years (not the point. 5 portion) It is me driving to great lengths to be and spend time, with and in his world. Well my world called and it wants me back, and I for one think I am ready to be back.
I'm looking at apartments for the spring. It is quite the daunting task as I have NO IDEA WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. But I have called upon my great wisdom filled apartment lived in friends/mom, and I am SURE between the many of them that God will show us something perfect. I want to live alone- I am past the whole I want to live like I'm a college student day's- I want no roomate. I want to be able to play my guitar at 3 in the morning if I so desire, or to break out my sewing machine and leave my fabric all over the floor for at least 2 days. I have NO idea how all of this is going to come about, but I truly and erratically am getting overly excited at the thought of it all. I am scared, don't get me wrong. It will be a whole lot of change all at once and even though I have tons of friends and family walking me through life, I might feel like I am completely alone for a while. However- isn't that the place where God can reach of the best, or at least where we sincerely are looking 100% for him?

Ive found myself purging as of the past couple weeks. Preparing for what, I don't know. Or perhaps, again, it's just because I so desperately need something to "give" in my life. Things have become WAY to routine and I need to break that up a lot more than just a "bit."
Clothes I still love but haven't warn in a long while have been bagged up and are waiting for my cousin to snipe them. The longer the bags sit, the more I add to them. Trash bag upon trash bag has been filled up with randoms because I just don't want to look at it anymore.[ SPRING] I have so much to look forward to.

I cannot wait to figure out where I am getting placed (salon wise.) I know I have LOTS left to learn, and go through before I'll be "graduating." However, I feel so incredibly blessed to be right where I am, RIGHT NOW. I love my co workers, I love my instructors, I feel like I learn more and more about who I am in life and who I am as a stylist every single day. Weird ha? :) I am feeling quite inspired as of lately so LOOK OUT WORLD.

Ok- clearly that was longer than I had intended it to be lol SOOOOO shower- HERE I COME!!!!

A little perspective

So I had a little down time before work, after out meeting this morning. I'm s-buxing it up at the wrong s-bux, missing Kenzie, and blogging on my iPod. I was just reading an old note from when I first started aveda. I Think will share it again. It's always good to look back on old goals, see which ones made it and Which ones bit the dust, and also which ones could be re integrated into life as I know it now. I apologize for Any spelling errors here, I am on my iPod after all. So here's to being re-inspired in life, and putting my best January foot forward. Perhaps later(if motivation sparks) I will make a new list of goals. Anyway, ENJOY, and may you also feel inspired to be better different, or changed.

Raaaaaar

I don't know how often I will keep up with this little "note" Idea of mine HOWEVER, I am going to do my best to jot down a couple thoughts every day in reflection of my newest adventure. AVEDA.

Day one- BORING, and LONG.... We never made it into the classroom and it felt kind of stuffy to sit for 5 hours in a dimly lit room. However the room was BEAUTIFUL.

Day two- Much better than day one in terms of boring-ness HOWEVER, I was EXHAUSTED from the previous day, and the twins game the previous night. I do believe I got max, 6 hours of sleep.....we ALL know that I'm at least and 8.5 hour kind of girl. YIKES 6 a.m to midnight can kind of seem a bit brutal 2 day's in a row, ya??? :)


Day three- SO FUN!!! I'm LOVING the things that I am ALREADY beginning to learn, I am already going to start needing models in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for that, I will be sure to let you know. :)

I strongly enjoy being in the classroom right now. I more strongly enjoy the 15 minuet speed breaks I get, and my wonderful friend Lauren that I take them with. Prop's to her for walking vs. smoking. :) healthy and wonderful choice with MANY benefits if you ask me. My class is starting to grow on my a bit more. It is awfully overwhelming at times being in a class with 50 18 and 19 year olds. But like I said, I'm getting used to them and their many complaints, repeated question's and obnoxious attitudes at times. Oh the things that secretly go through my brain...all encouraging and uplifting of course. :))))

I ADORE my teachers, I don't so much adore my simple cheese sandwiches any longer. I think I'm going to have to start making PB&J.

We had to come up with 3 goals on the 2nd day of class that we were going to try to uphold to through out this year. Mine were as follows:


* To have perfect attendance
* To utilize the MANY stairs during my brakes...TONES BUTT AND THIGHS. :)
* To bring my own lunch daily (which conserves all the money that I currently don't have)

Some extra goals not mentioned in the class room:

* To be one of the best if not THE best in my graduating class
* To be a constant encouragement to the people around me
* To enjoy as many moments as possible, and to give God glory in ALL that I do
* To SAVE SAVE SAAAVVEEE (not just on lunches)
* To walk outside as often as possible, even in the up coming winter
* To be to school EARLY EVERY day
* To get 9 hours of sleep every night (YIKES, considering I would have to go to bed at 9 every night)
* To better myself, learn more about who I am and who I am supposed to be, and to continue taking steps FORWARD.
* Last, but most importantly, I would like to do my very best to start EVERY MORNING out with devotions and time for Jesus. Because seriously, my day's would be worthless if not for him, and when I don't start them out with him, little negatives tend to pop up all around me.

ANYWAY, thanks for reading and stay tuned for my (hopefully) daily updates.

I'm SOOOOO excited for this adventure, I feel as though it has been a long time coming, and now that it is FINALLY here, well it's hard to know what to do with myself. :)

Love, peace, blessings,

Tif

PS: did I mention what an AMAZING God we serve??? AHHHH he is SOOOO FAITHFUL!!!
