YES!!!

I got a call today to set up the final interview with the company I've been talking about for months now!!! I am sooo excited. Things are looking really good and this girl could possibly have a job by the beginning of next week!! I've put together a presentation for my interview in hopes to impress the boss man.

Wish me luck!

Get it!

It's Here!! It's Here!!

Get way excited!!! I've finally posted my makeup blog!!

Makeup Design Work

is finally in business. Its not completely finished, but I couldn't wait any longer. Head on over, leave me a comment or two, and become a follower....if you want! If I can get a few followers I'm going to do a makeup giveaway!!!

I've been a bad girl....

Just a few things I've picked up over the last few months....mostly on the trips home with Momma :) What do you think?

I miss my long hair!!!

Its official....I want my hair back. But I'm pretty sure its already been sewn into about 7 wigs....hey, I have a lot of hair. BUT I WANT IT BACK.... :( The donation was for a great cause, and I wouldn't change it for the world, but how long is it going to take to grow back??

With my old roomie....called my hair "my drapes"!

My pigtails were so easy....I need them!
My curls were fun too!!

And then there was the half up, half down...with a little teasing!

And then my purple and red highlights! Oh man! Don't mind the stupid expression.
**Edit...These aren't really highlights. I had colored extensions put in because I was too chicken to color my hair. I've never colored/highlighted my hair for real! :(

no curls = tears ;(

Maybe by the time I grow my hair out I can lose some weight and look better! Arg!

Whirlwind of a Weekend!

Hi folks! I hope you all are enjoying the last day of your weekend.....I'm kinda sad that it's almost over because it has been such a great adventure! A lot has happened since the last time I posted so I'm going to update you a little bit....

I finally heard back from the job I've been interviewing for last Wednesday to let me know I'm still the top candidate for the position and I'll be getting a call to schedule a final interview.....so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that this is where God wants me to be. I'm trying to keep my spirits up about not having a job, knowing God has a position just waiting, but its getting tough.

J also received a call from HR to let him know he was being offered a conditional job offer pending his final interview!!! So excited for this news!! He's finally gotten a break and it was for something that he really wanted. Things for him are starting to look up :)

Later in the week, I saw that the job I have been interviewing was re-posted on the Internet and it kinda bummed me out. I wish I could just find out either way. I know I need to be patient, but I do my best to be professional and prepared for my interviews, and I would like the common courtesy of professionalism from my interviewers. Have any of you had experience with unprofessional potential employers?

Other than the job thing.....J and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary!! It's very hard for me to believe that we have been dating for a year already. When we met, it was almost instant that we knew we would be together for a long time :) J still doesn't believe me that I was the first one to try and make a move when we first met.

For our anniversary, we acted like little kids! J and I went to an arcade and played the day away while it poured and poured outside. We weren't going to let the rain spoil our day! All the games were old school arcade games that we love!

I apologize for the mess I was!! It was raining outside.

My favorite game!!

Had a little trouble....the machine tried to eat my tickets!

Enjoying some great greasy (not healthy at all) food. I promise I will be back on my diet soon. I have to!!!

You have to have dessert....And a few more games to top it all off!

After the arcade and lunch we headed home to get ready for a movie. I took J to see....

And gave him this....


And made him this...
Not the best picture...but I took a post-it pad and wrote a reason why I love him on every page :)

We had such a great time. It reminded me how much I love him and how excited I am to spend the rest of my life with my best friend!! God has blessed me in so many ways.

This weekend was also J's nephew's pre-school graduation....

T-Man is third from the right. He looked sooo cute in his little khaki's and button-up with the sleeves rolled up. His momma sure knows how to dress him!!

T-Man's little sister saying a prayer with Grandma and Pop Pop.

J with his niece, Em Em.

It was such a blessed week! I hope every one's week was just as great as mine!

Almost Hump Day!!

Hi ya'll!! How's it going this lovely Tuesday morning? I'm up and about trying to make myself do my homework for class, but I figured a short little blog wouldn't hurt. I finally figured out the background crap on my page.....well at least for now; until I pay someone to re-do the whole thing!! ha ha! I just wanted something a little new and reader friendly and I got myself in a huge heapin' mess.

While trying to fix my page I also decided that I was going to start my blog dedicated to make-up and tips. I'm going to start branching out with products and try to give tips for the recessionista's we are! So Make-up Tip Monday will be on another site when I get it up and running. I'll definitely let you know when that happens, but you have to promise you'll run over and become a follower so I don't feel like a loser!

That's all for now....gotta get studying. Have a great Tuesday and I'll be back soon!
