A day in the life of a hairdresser!

Today at college, I learned how to act like a pirate..... I am taking a Young Adult Literature class and we are currently reading this:
So my teacher decided for our quiz we needed to be creative and do group presentations that had to do with the book or pirates.... We could write and advice column, eulogy, sing a song like yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...., or whatever our creative little brains could come up with.... My group decided to do a:

We told jokes like:
1) "What is a Pirates Favorite Letter?"... people respond Arrrrg... "No it is P, for Pirate!"
2) "Why is the ocean always angry?".... "You would be angry too if you had crabs crawling all over your bottom"
3) "How much does a Pirate pay to get his ears pierced?"... "A buccaneer!"
And last but not least... The Pirate Pick up line...

If you were to have a parrot, would you like him to sit on this shoulder (touch person's left shoulder with left hand) or this shoulder (wrap other arm around and rest on other shoulder)?

Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirate's life for me.... Shiver me timbers...

My LAST first!!!!!!!!

2012-01-09T09:27:00.000-08:00

Today is my LAST first day of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell by the amount of exclamation points that I am excited?)

On May 5, I will officially be a college graduate. It only took me 8 years to get there, but hey, I am done!!! Okay, so it is a little early to say I am done, but I am almost there! Now I just have to find a job... Crap...

This semester is going to be even more insane and busy than last semester, so lets all hope that I will stay sane, and alive. Especially since Agatha (my car) died on January 1 right as I was pulling in to Cache Valley on my way home from St. George. Yeah, I made it from St. George to 10 min. away from my house. Oh well. I have a new car now, thanks to Sara and Neil, but I was not planning on having a car payment until AFTER I graduated and got a job.... So, I had to pick up more shifts at the salon... Don't you just love how life seems to work out opposite of how you plan? Well at least mine does!
This is what my new car looks like. I LOVE it! I do have this fear though that it is going to die on me. Every car I have ever had has been at the very end of its life, and so they pretty much have all died on me :( it kind of makes me think that I am cursed to kill cars. Hopefully this is not the case with this new one! I need it to last me a LONG time! I need a name for her too... Any ideas?

Crazy Busy Times...

2011-12-17T21:40:00.001-08:00

This has been the craziest Semester. Here are a few things I have been up to since November....
I raked up all the leaves in my front yard and then my landlord called and got mad at me because I raked them to the wrong area of the yard... yeah, I know...

On 11/11/11 my good friends Kelsey and Jason (my equestrian team coach) got married. I was one of their bridesmaids and I was so happy to share in their special day. They got married at Sundance and it was gorgeous!

Me and Kelsey at the Receptions
Me, Kels, and Jas
My bouquet and necklace (Kelsey made it. Isn't it pretty?!)
These were taken at the rehearsal dinner the night before in Heber.

The next weekend (I think, I honestly don't remember) we went to Bozeman, Montana for a horse show at MSU....
Just chillin watching the show.....

The next few are of the second show..... We had to wear helmets for this one. Yeah, gross.

but hey, I took third! This is cheesy, but this is the first ribbon I have ever won! Go me! haha

Then Lindsey Brown came up for a visit. We had a ton of fun doing everything on her list....
Ice Skating with cute Samantha...

Riding horses... This is Kelsey's horse Sassy. She has had her since she was 5 and is a good old horse to give some lessons on.... But I still made Lindsey wear my practice helmet... She did a great job and even got comfortable enough to ride without me holding on the reigns leading her around. She LOVED it! She is even wearing a pair of my cowboy boots, and she kept commenting on how funny they felt on her feet. I don't know what she is talking about :) Once you get them stretched out, they are SO comfortable. I already new I had a shoe problem, but that has now extended to boots... I am always looking at them and there is this pair I want SOOOO bad, now to find the money....

Then we went to a movie and got hot chocolate at Village in after. It was a great visit and it was fun to have her up here. I can't believe she is getting so old!!!

And finally... Christmas with the roommates. We had a little Christmas night and took some pictures in front of the tree :), but now they are both moved out :(. One graduated, and the other is getting married. When they sell their contracts, I will be up to 34 roommates... yikes, I am think I am done. If I could afford it, I would buy their contracts so I could live by myself. Please pray that I get normal roommates.
I just had to throw this cute one of little Gracie in. She is so funny. I got a text from my mom the other night and she said that while she and Gracie were driving around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights she randomly said, "Rachel cut my hair, it was beautiful". That made my night :) It is the best when your nieces and nephews are at the age when they remember who you are even when you live far away and don't get to see them very often.

The semester is FINALLY over!!! It has probably been one of the busiest semesters I have had with school full time working 2 jobs 40 hours a week, and joining the equestrian team. I have been exhausted the whole time, and kept thinking, I need to give something up. The problem is, I didn't want to give any of it up, so I just kept on going and going.... like the energizer bunny. And hey, I still managed to pull off fairly decent grades (thank goodness). Now I don't have to think for three blissful weeks. I plan on resting up and getting a lot of sleep so that I can make it through my last, yes that's right my LAST semester of college!!! Hallelujah!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

RED!!!

2011-10-11T19:13:00.000-07:00

So I decided to just go for it. I have been wanting to go red for a long time, so I thought, what the heck, I have been every other color. Might as well try this one too. And I kind of like it! Kind of crazy, but hey I just joined the equestrian team, I think crazy is becoming my middle name :) What do you think??

Giddy up little horsie, giddy up, woah

2011-10-03T18:53:00.001-07:00

So... I have been up to some interesting things lately... It took my family a long time to believe me and some of my friends who have found out what I have been doing have said things like, "I feel like I don't know you anymore"... Don't worry, I am still my girly me who likes makeup, doing hair, and chick flicks. But I have started a new adventure... :)

A couple of months ago, I started going to my friends barn that she and her fiance lease and board and train horses. I started riding with them and fell in love with it. My only horse experience I ever really had was once a year when we went to Canada to visit my grandma and grandpa on the farm, but it had still been about 11 years since I had been on a horse. I learned to trot and lope within my first day of riding with them, and I kept coming back. It was kind of fun to be a cowgirl and ride all those pretty horses.

This is my friends 4th year on the USU Equestrian team, and her fiance is the coach. So after a lot of bugging, and begging, and convincing, they finally got me to try out for the team. I thought that there was no way in the world I would actually make it. I mean, come on, I don't do things like this. But I beat out 4 other people and secured a spot on the team. CRAZY? YES! I really didn't think he would let me on... but he said I have a really good seat and am a natural rider. So after a bit of freaking out I called my mom and told her the news, she kept saying to me, "Rachel, its not April fools day". I decided what the heck, I am going to step out of my little box and do something different, when in my head I was thinking, who in their right mind at 25 years old and in their senior year of college who already works 40+ hours a week decides, hey I am going to join the equestrian team? Well, that would me, why not add one more thing to my insane life?

I wanted to go home and cry after the first practice, I have NEVER been on any kind of team or had any kind of coach, unless you count my choir teacher.... so It was a completely new experience for me, and unlike most of the people on the team, I didn't grow up around horses and competing in horse shows my whole life. But I decided, to give it a shot and keep on trying. the second practice went MUCH better and the next day we were on the road headed to our first show... YIKES!!!!!

We show for IHSA in Western showmanship riding. We are the only school in Utah with a team so our region is Idaho and Montana. We are judged on how we are sitting, where our legs, feet, and hands are, our posture and so on. And then on how well we can control the horse and do what we are told. I am not that competitive of a person, so this is so weird for me.

Our first show was just this last weekend at UMW (University of Montana Western) in Dillon. We left Logan on Friday afternoon and got there that evening. There were 2 English riding shows on Saturday, so we watched and supported them. Then on Sunday was the show for the western team.

So we have to be completely decked out. Bedazzled shirts, belt buckles, boots, hats, chaps and all. (by the way, I LOVE my boots, they are black and pink!) So these are some pictures of me before and during.... warning to all, I look like a hippo trying to disguise herself as a snake... it is bad, but oh well... I could barely walk the chaps were so tight, and getting on the horse, well, lets say it was a darn good thing they had mounting blocks cuz I could barely move my legs!

This is me with a couple of my teammates. Aren't our outfits um... interesting?We have to have our hair pinned back so that nothing is moving, I think I would have looked a lot better if my hair was down. But this is me all decked out and ready to go. weird huh? Never thought I would be seen in something like this!!

These are a a couple pictures of me riding...
You can kind of see my boots in this picture! Here is a better picture. Aren't they beautiful??

So yeah, that is what is going on with me.... pretty crazy but really fun!

Utah State...

2011-08-12T12:59:00.000-07:00

How may I direct your call?

So I have a new job... the USU switchboard. It is actually quite fun and you hear all sorts of interesting names. One of my favorites is Glasscoffin. Yes isn't lovely? The best is when you are trying to answer without laughing. It doesn't help when the person you are working with starts singing a funny song in a weird voice that makes you laugh right when you say "Utah State University, how may I direct your call?".
Things can also start getting interesting when you have been sitting here for 8 hours and you are getting a little tired. Sometimes your fingers forget how to type, or you completely missed what the person was saying because you momentarily spaced out (not that this has ever happened to me...). My favorite is when I accidentally answered, "I.T. Service Desk, my name is... I mean Utah State...". Yeah that was only slightly embarrassing. I also sometimes can only think of "Studio 170, Salon and Spa". Luckily I haven't slipped and actually said that one yet. That's my other job.
Other than that, it is great because I will be able to do my homework when school starts while I am here. SCORE!!! This will probably be my last official college job. Weird. I only have one more year and so I will hopefully graduate in MAY! Finally! But then I have to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my life from there, so I guess I will just keep answering "Utah State University, how may I direct your Call?"

My House!

2011-06-30T12:23:00.000-07:00

In May I moved into the cutest little house! I love it! It is nice to be out of an apartment and to have a yard. I feel like a real person, haha! It has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 living rooms, laundry room and a massive storage room. I only have pictures of the upstairs because that is all I really use. The Pictures loaded backwards too... so oh well. Take a tour from the inside out!

This is my bedroom. It has a huge closet that fits all of my shoes :) It also has 2 large windows so it is really nice and bright!
My cute polka dot bathroom... can you get any better?
Part of the tiny kitchen.... on the other side there is the stove and fridge, and that is it! I guess it is a good thing I don't really cook!
A little dining room. the house came with the table. It is great!
these are a couple of different views of the living room. The couches came with the house and they are really nice (for college housing!).

I planted flowers, and... THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!!! They have filled up the whole flower bed now and are really pretty. I am terrified of worms though, so it was an interesting experience...
This is the front of the house. There are some cute flower pots on the front steps now making it more cheery. There is also a huge backyard that has been nice this summer. If you are ever in Logan come and visit me!

Panic...

2011-05-08T23:21:00.000-07:00

I think I am having a panic attack... I am all alone and I need to tell someone, so I will tell the blogging world.... Pathetic I know... I just looked at the requirements for my summer online classes, and I started freaking out. What am I doing? I hate school, I am sick of Logan, and I need to get away. My head is getting foggy, and it is getting harder to breath... I don't think I can do this. Anyways, that is my little bit of panic....

Hopelss Romanitc....

2011-04-29T07:55:00.000-07:00

I could not sleep last night, so I decided to watch some T.V. and when I turned it on, it was the Royal Wedding! Wahoo. I ended watching from 2am until 5am. Ooops, I think I might be kind of tired later on today! But it was worth it. It was kind of cool to watch it live and see everything as it is really happening. It was BEAUTIFUL! But lets face it, I knew once I started watching there, was no stopping. I am a hopeless romantic, and so to see a REAL royal wedding and not just what they show in the movies was really neat!

Isn't her dress AMAZING??!! I loved it! I think it is so sleek and classy while still being royal!
I missed this part. DANG IT! I made myself go to bed when the ceremony ended around 5am, so I missed the carraige ride, and the kiss on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. I guess I will have to find it online and watch it later!

Anyways, I just think she is a really classy lady and way to go to her for making the dream of every little girl come true for her!

I know this is all really cheesy, but I had fun!

"The Tasty 23"

2010-09-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

"The Tasty 23":
For a school project we had to create an outfit out of recyclable materials. Then there was a big fashion show to show off our work! I worked with my friend Kelsey.
Our product list:
1: Dr. Pepper cans and tabs
2: Dr. Pepper boxes
3: Big white slip things
4: Staples and thread

Making some progress!

Kelsey was kind enough to model the dress too. She did a great job!

I made this headband out of poptabs and ribbon

Poptab earrings!

Kelsey strutting her stuff! There were over 800 people there!

And.... We WON!!!!! There were 4 prize categories: Most Green, Most Wearable, Most Innovative, and Best of Show. We won Most Green! We were really excited! Yes that is a gold shoe with dirt and pine cones and stuff as my trophy...

After the show!

Kelsey got a bouquet made out of tissue paper and these cool paper roses.
We had a great time working on this assignment! Oh yeah, we named it "The Tasty 23" because of the 23 flavors in Dr. Pepper!

The funny signs in Alaska...

2010-09-07T07:54:00.001-07:00

So, Sara and I like to take pictures of funny signs we see. Here are a few funny ones we found in Alaska! It was great!

Alaska!!

2010-08-29T18:27:00.001-07:00

In July I was able to go to Alaska with the Brugeners! It was so much fun and we did an insane amount of stuff, I tried to include a little of everything, and it isn't all necessarily in order but you'll get the idea!
The Anchorage Temple!This is in Chugach State Park, in Anchorage

This was our Rental car in Juneau, yeah we barely fit!

This is an awesome gate made out of snow skis!

We went on this really pretty hike and found this fun swing in the middle of the forest!

At Sandy Beach in Juneau, a nice Sunday activity!

One day, this will be my house, hehe

the float plane we went on. It was amazing. We saw a ton of glaciers and went all over!

Kayaking! It was so much fun, but Aunt Ann and I got soaked!

aren't we pretty?

We stayed at this great cabin!

clam digging, it was actually really fun!

We went deep sea fishing! I caught the big one!

We all kissed the fish, yuck!

We went on a cruise of the fjiords in Seward and we saw a ton of whales, sealions and a ton of other cool sea life. This pictures shows a 7 killer whales at ONE time! It was so cool!

We had so much fun and saw a ton of great stuff! We went on a bunch of hikes, saw a ton of glaciers, kayaked, fished, and a lot more. We were all really tired by the time we went home, but we all wished we could have stayed! I hope I can go back one day!

MY BIRTHDAY!!

2010-03-08T19:26:00.000-08:00

I had a great time meeting my family at the Olive Garden for a great birthday dinner! It was sooo good!

Cute Randy and Sara and Mom were there too!
The AMAZING flowers my mom sent me on my birthday! I love them!!
On my actual birthday, a bunch of my friends took me Texas Road House for dinner! It was a ton of fun! That is Ryan and Jenna's cute Ava sitting on my lap!
24 Years Old!!!
It was a great birthday! I had so much fun with my family and friends! Thanks all!!

Christmas Break....

2010-01-12T14:57:00.000-08:00

This was a crazy Christmas break... On the 14th I had back surgery in Logan so I was pretty much out of it most of Christmas break! The time went by way too fast and I am now back in school! Yikes! This is going to be a CRAZY semester, all I have is paper after paper!
All of my ADORABLE nieces and nephews! They are the best!!!
Christmas morning! Yay for a new car stereo!
Christmas Eve!
Hello baby Siggy, I miss you so much!!!
So I was putting my makeup one day and the girls wanted some, then Liza wiped her eyes.... ooops, she still looks cute though!!
Me and baby Siggy! This was probably the first day that I actually got dressed!!
And then, I dyed my hair! Lindsey and Emily freaked out, it was so funny! I was lying on their front lawn talking to my mom and Andrea and they were screaming and calling me crazy before they even got out of the carpool! Lindsey told me that I can dye my hair one more time and then I have to leave it like that for the rest of my life. She said that she starts getting used to me with one color and then I change it and she has to get used to it all over again! She is so funny!! So there we have it.... dark hair or blonde hair?? Let me know!!

This is what happens....

2009-12-08T18:09:00.001-08:00

This is what happens when I accidentally leave my camera in a place where two year old Evie and 3 year old Eliza can find it..... Thanks Aunt Sara for saving it for me!! I sure do love my girls!!

Babies Sydney, Gracie, and Randy

2009-12-08T17:56:00.001-08:00

It was fun for all of us to be together when baby Sydney was born! We took a walk around the Temple!
Hello Gracie!
The first time I saw Sydney!
I love this picture of Randy. He is so dang cute!

All three babies born this year! Gracie (April), Randy (June), and Sydney (October)

Salon Woes....

2009-11-04T09:55:00.001-08:00

So the salon I have been working at got sold. The new owners already own another salon here in Logan so they thought, hey we will close down the Salon Essentials location (mine) and move everyone over to ours (Hair Studio 170). They thought, we will have enough room for everyone (some 20 plus stylists) to be able to have them still work their original days. So I thought, okay this will be a pain, but they are trying to make everything all fine and dandy for everyone. So last night I got all my stuff that I had packed up, put it in my car and drove over to the new salon to move it all in. So I get there and they are like, oh, so when are you working again? I was thinking are you kidding me? I have told you tonz of times, I work Saturdays and I want to start on commission here for a while, heck I even filled out their stupid little paper that told them what days I want to work and whether or not I wanted to do booth rent or commission. So, I told them AGAIN.
On Saturday they had moved over our cabinets that we used to store all of color and products like that, so that we would have a place for them when we moved. So I asked where they were and he was like, "oh, yeah, we should get one for you (mind you there were like 5 empty ones), so he goes in the room where they are and looks around and then says well, lets see, I think you can use this one...". It is the most inconvenient one, it is behind the door... Why???? But I was like whatever, I'll take it. So then I asked which station would be mine and he paused and hesitated and proceeded to tell me... "well, see we are really busy on Saturdays and all of our stations are full, so we are just going to have you station hop".... I'm thinking WHAT????? Then he said "we might be able to scrounge up a couple of drawers for you in one of the stations that you can put some stuff in..." So, what, every time I need something I have to run across the salon and get it out of the drawer they had to "find" for me? What happens if I have an appointment and all the stations are full, do I just take my client out to the parking lot and say sorry, they don't have room for us so lets cut your hair out here, NO, that is ridiculous! So I had to completely reorganize my rollabout so that I can fit all of my styling products and everything I need, I had to shove other things that I should have on the station into my color cabinet because, I don't have a station. So needless to say, I am really angry and I will probably be looking for another job in the near future, which is too bad because I really liked all the girls I worked with at Salon Essentials, and everyone is moving over to Hair Studio 170. So that is my vent session... Hope your day is going good!

My Apartment

2009-10-14T15:32:00.000-07:00

So Becky and Andrea have been begging me for awhile to post pictures of my apartment... so this is for them!

My Desk and book shelf...
I love my bed!!
At the top of the stairs...

Do you like the drapes? I did that! I used pushpins to put it up!

Yeah, our TV is tiny... anyone want to donate a bigger one? HEEEHEE!

So yeah, this is where I live! Come visit!

The nasty, make me want to die rat lab.... Almost Done!!

2009-10-13T21:37:00.000-07:00

See Fred, see Fred be a stupid rat. See Fred sit for 7 whole days and not pass off the stupid 4th task. See Fred all of a sudden decide that he wants to do something and pass of 3 tasks in one day.

See Rachel, see Rachel being super happy that she only has 2 more days of the rat lab. See Rachel miraculously still alive. See Rachel semi over come one of her biggest fears (only semi cuz she will look at it but won't touch it).

Many wonder what will happen to this ugly little, beady eyed creature. Well since he "volunteered" for the job of being a lab rat he is guaranteed a "humane" death, hence the reason they don't let people take them home. Because you know, someone's cat might eat it or something. Anyways, before his death Fred will have a little more work to do. He will be used to test the effects of Alcohol, Cocaine, and Meth.... yes you read right... I wonder what he will be like then, good thing I don't like him!

Thursday is my last day in the lab and I am SO EXCITED!!!! I made it!!!

The nasty, make me want to die rat lab, Days 2 & 3

2009-09-30T11:13:00.000-07:00

So days two and three have passed now, I still don't like it. So Fred, the rat, is kind of stupid. He doesn't want to do the things that he is supposed to and just sits there and looks at us. BLAH. We don't like him that much. We are trying to get him to press a bar and he just won't do it. We think he is a pretty boy because he spends most of his time cleaning himself, seriously how many times can you do that in an hour. Hopefully he will pass of the second task tomorrow... he is the only one who hasn't. We want to exchange him for a new rat...

The nasty, make me want to die rat lab, Day #1

2009-09-28T10:50:00.000-07:00

So today was the first day of the dreaded rat lab. My rat is a nasty little albino rat with beady red eyes and a long nasty pink tail. Luckily, I have a really nice lab partner who will actually do all the handling of the rat.... So we brought the rat out and I got all lightheaded and dizzy and wanted to faint.... yeah that would have been embarrassing. Today we had to train him, or Fred the Death Creature, to respond to a sound signaling the availability of water. Yeah, Fred wasn't that smart... hopefully he will catch on tomorrow... All in all, I still HATE rats, and I am dreading the next 3 weeks...

The nasty, make me want to die rat lab....

2009-09-11T21:48:00.000-07:00

So I am in a behavioral psychology class.... while in this class we have to train a rat... one of those nasty little white lab rats with the beady red eyes. This is the first time I have considered attending another University besides USU because of this lab... At SUU they get to train pigeons, not nearly as bad. I am absolutely TERRIFIED thats right TERRIFIED of rats. I honestly don't know how I am going to make it through this lab. I would drop the class, but I have to have it for my major, yikes. I am so scared of rats that I even had a hard time putting the picture on here cuz I would have to look at it and believe me I did as much as I could with out actually looking at the picture. So I am going to try and blog about my experiene with the dreaded creature, that is if I live to tell about it. I really might pass out, hit my head, get bit and get a disease, and then die.... lets hope not... I can only hope that my lab partner will be kind enough not to make me touch it. So lets all pray that I make it through this experience.....

one of the nasty little evil creatures... why don't they use something cute and nice for testing????

update,,,,

2009-09-11T21:17:00.000-07:00

The perfect Sunday...

2009-06-23T19:20:00.000-07:00

So my perfect Sunday... after church the last couple weeks I have driven down to Salt Lake to Becky's house. I usually get there at about 2pm so that means that means that is 2 full hours that I get to myself to hold the baby as much as I want!! It is wonderful!

Holding Tiny Randy!

Isn't he soooo cute??

Playing with cute Sara, Robbie, and Evie!

And of course holding the baby more and more!!

I got the job!!!

2009-06-11T19:48:00.000-07:00

I got a job! Wahoo! It is at GQ Salon and Center Street Day Spa! It will be good to be in a salon again! I miss it! So if you live in Logan come get a haircut! It is on Center Street by Great Harvest Bread Co.!

Need a laugh??

2009-06-06T15:44:00.000-07:00

So I think that I have a new favorite show... WIPEOUT!!! It is so funny! I watched it for the first time with Sara and Neil and I was laughing so hard I was crying! I don't know, maybe I am mean for thinking it is so funny watching people make fools out of themselves, but yeah, it is great! You can see it on Wednesdays at 7p.m. on ABC!!

Baby Gracie

Isn't she the cutest little baby? I am sad that I don't get to go and see her everyday anymore! She is doing so good and growing! Good job Gracie!

I was so excited to be able to hold her! We think she is big, and then you hold her and she is so tiny!!!

My trip to SoCal!

2009-06-02T21:59:00.000-07:00

So a couple of weekends ago one of my companions and I took a road trip to Riverside to attend the baptism of a little girl we taught! We had a great time seeing all the people we love!

Brother and Sister Foust!
We had a great time seeing the sisters!

Maria and Irma Hernandez!
It was Irma's baptism!
We spent our first day in Temecula!

I wanna join the crowd too!

So I decided that I wanted to start a blog too! Who knows what I will put on it, but I will figure something out! So I am up in Logan now and looking for a job! I have interviews set up with several salons, so hopefully I will be able to get something good soon! But it is fun to be able to live by Sara and Neil! They are the greatest! Thanks for everything guys!
