November came and went like that! I still can't believe that 2011 is coming to an end! 2012 seemed so far away and now its just around the corner. I have so much to be thankful for. One being my amazing husband. He does so much for me and loves me with every bit of his heart. The other day he told me "You know, even though we've been married for a little while now I can't help but saying I am so happy to be married to you and to have you forever. through all the garbage we may go through, I'm so glad you are right by my side to get me through it, I love you so much babes". How can your heart not melt from hearing those words? He's more than I could ever need. If "the world went stupid" (as steven would say) all I would want is my him right by my side.
This past month as people were posting what they were thankful for each day of November, I thought about the many things I am grateful for. I have 2 jobs that I am so grateful for despite the fact the I struggle with them both in different ways. Macy's not enough hours, or the wrong hours when I'm supposed to be at the salon so I have to forfeit those days. Not really doing makeup like I thought I would at a makeup counter, I've learned its all about the sales & numbers. (which is totally not me!) But I am so blessed to have gotten the job when I did when we first moved to SLC. At the Salon, I LOVE it. Everyone I work with is so nice and amazing at what they do. I assist on Wed. , Fri, & every other Sat. I work for the most talented and knowledgeable stylists who are so willing to teach me their tricks and tips so I can succeed as they have. This month I also started Booth Renting here at this salon part time, Tues., Thurs, & the Sat I'm not assisting. Its a HUGE risk I had to take, but if it wasn't now, when would I do it? December is usually a busy month because of the holidays everyone wants to get their hair done. Well..here I am writing this post at my station at the salon, waiting for some clients to sit in my chair. I can only pray and constantly advertise my services. So I am torn. I know booth rent is the best way to go, Its just these first few months while I'm building my clientele that will be hard. But I am motivated. :) Since I'm busy between both these jobs, I feel like I never see my husband. THats how its supposed to be right? I hate it. He was gone for 4 months. We havent had a vacation with just us two in I dont know how long. He went straight to school when he got home and our date nights have diminished slowly. Partly because dates cost money, and we dont really have that. especially in the month of December. I guess there are free dates, I just put off searching for ideas. my bad. Since we dont have much time together besides the few hours in the evening when I get home from work we soak up as much time as we can get together. and I am thankful that my husband wants to hang out with me even if im dead tired and just want to snuggle on the couch. (lets face it, I have a cuddly husband as you may have seen on facebook with our dog lol) I'm grateful for his love and support in everything I do. He wants me to reach my dreams and motivates me every single day.
I'm so thankful for the cute little townhouse we live in, no matter how ghetto people think the neighborhood is. I'm thankful for everything I have in my home, my washer and dryer, kitchen full of food, tv, internet, running water, my bed and everything I possibly have. Especially POWER! With the huge wind storm last week, a massive tree fell over onto a truck and took down a power line with it. We had no power all day and night. It was freezing! but needless to say a huge wakeup call! We were definitely not prepared. we dont own one single flashlight, hardly any food storage, somethings in our pantry could probably pass, but still. I've got lots to do to be prepared! I'm just glad no one got hurt. I love my life, my husband, my dog, my career, my religion, my families, the trials I go through and the things I learn each day I awake.
