Christmas eve picture

This year was new to both Hyrum and I. We stayed in Boise and partied with the Wilson/Agnew/Thompson families on Christmas eve. They supplied some delicious baby back ribs. Ohhh my goodness....its rare when we get to indulge in some good ribs, and they were soooo good! Then some fun and games and some classic women in the kitchen chatting like a bunch of hens. We opened some christmas eve presents, and the everyone was so nice including us in their gift giving. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Hyrum and I then headed home for some Wilson and Jordan family Christmas eve traditions with our Christmas pj's and some readong from Luke.

Christmas morning ariving at 8:30am, a little later than we are both used to. After rise and shining we headed to the christmas tree with some festive music bringing us christmas cheer. We opened some amazing presents and shared some more of our families Christmas traditions. Ozzie got some wet dog food and a new toy, and he LOVED them both. Both Hyrum and I werent as homesick and we thought we would have been, thats a big step for me.

Then onto Christmas breakfast. Its tradition in my family to have boxed cereal (dad always tries to throw in a little somthing healthy), but along with the cereal we threw in some egss and ham and some cinnamon rolls. YUM! After a quick nap and a festive movie we settled back in our pj's and had a very merry christmas.

FA LA LA LA LA

Tiss the season to be jolly! I love Christmas time!!

I miss my job

It's true, I miss doing hair. I left Provo, UT to Boise, ID and paid my dues so my license could follow me too. I have been waiting for about a month for my license to come in the mail and I thought the day had come when I got some mail from the Idaho board of licensing. It wasn't my license, it was an application to take the Idaho state boards. I HATE taking the boards with all my heart. Not only do I hate taking test, but I hate that I have to take a test that I already passed 4 years ago, and was told I wouldn't have to take it again for Idahos cosmetology license, and I have to pay an arm and a leg to take. There are 2 parts to the test, written and practical...neither fun.

So, here's the plan. I get a job doing something else in the mean time while I get my money and practical exam kit together (cost about $800 for the whole kit last time I took the practical). I already have a job lined up in a salon and they said they will keep the chair open for me and I'm still allowed to go to the shows the salon is putting on, but since I don't have my license all I can do is watch, no touching the models hair:(

So, if anyone hears of a job that will do me some good let me know. In the mean time I am excited to see when this can all happen cause I'm DONE waiting.

Now that I have vented to my blog, cause I'm sure Hyrum and my mom are sick of hearing about it, I feel better and will be a more positive person:)

I'M AVAILABLE!

Name: Ozzie Wilson

Hometown: West Jordan, UT

Interest: Long walks, rope toys, belly rubs

Lookin for: A fine k-9 who shares my same interest and wont go potty inside

I just thought this picture of Ozzie was soooo funny! Hyrum said it looks like I put lipstick on him:) I think that this is the face that most teenage girls make when they look in the mirror (like they always have their lips persed like that..haha!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Hyrum finally turned 24 on the 5th! We decorated with some paper chains and had some yummy decorated cupcakes. Since Hyrum is still in the academy he is so sleepy when he comes home. So Friday we went to dinner and we were going to catch a birthday movie. But like I said, he's sleepy on week nights, so we vetoed the movie and ended the night with just dinner. Sat we woke up, went for a birthday run and headed to the Meridian Christmas perade which featured the Wilson 5 with the Meridian Fire Dept and Shawnas mom passing out candy. It was so much fun! We love parades. Then we headed home for some partying. We ate lots of good, but bad for you, food and decorated plenty of cupcakes for Hyrums birthday cake! Thanks for all the help and for the good times!
