Update on Taylor's house.

Taylor's living room is complete! Doesn't it look great? I picked out the area rug. It's soooo comfy! :)

Newberry School of Beauty

The very first item on my list is in the works! I finally received my transcripts from Marinello and enrolled in Newberry last week. My expected graduation date is December 29, my birthday! I'm gonna work on graduating earlier though. Once you've been a student for a little while, they let you stay at school longer to get more hours. My schedule is Tuesday to Saturday 8:30-2:30. On the weekdays, I won't have any time to stay longer because I have to go straight to work, but on Saturdays I can stay til 5, so that will really help in getting done quicker!

Now, the next thing I have to worry is about is what I'm gonna do AFTER I finally complete my hours and get licensed. I don't wanna start working in a salon or spa until I decide where I'm gonna live. What I would really like to do, though, is work for myself. Start out working from home and going to clients homes, and then eventually open my own salon.

I moved back home to save some money and have the opportunity to go to Newberry, but after I'm done with school, I'm most likely going to want to move down to SD to be closer to Taylor. I guess the question is, when I would make the move. I just started my job at Anthem and I don't want to leave after only a few months. I like it there so far, and I get paid well.

Decisions, decisions! There is a lot to think about I suppose, but I have about 5 months to decide.

Fredricks Avenue & Revolutionary Road

56. Help Taylor fix up his new house.
So Taylor's house is basically all complete! Everything that's left to do is basically small decorating things around the house. It's amazing how different the house looks now from when he first bought it! Go back and see the "before" pictures and compare them to these final pictures. The living room is just missing a TV he still has yet to buy, and the mantle piece is going to be stained darker to match the floors.






30. Read a new book every month.
Secondly, I FINALLY finished Revolutionary Road! It took me almost 2 months to read it, because I thought it really dragged. The book didn't actually get interesting until the last 3 or 4 chapters. Now that I finally finished the book, I was ready to watch the movie. As always, the book was so much better than the movie. Both were equally depressing, but the movie lacked a lot of details and scenes the book had. Yet, I still have not decided if it's actually better to read the book before you watch the movie, or not.
