The Hair Academy Paul Mitchell Partner School

I'm finally here!!!!! YAYYY!!!! I've had SO much fun this week I can't even BEGIN to describe. I have no doubt this is the place for me. Everyone there is SO nice and fun! The very first things that we have learned and studied is about being our best selves. The first couple of days we didn't learn anything about hair and our teachers just focused on us as people. It was so great to get to know the other girls and know that we are in a safe environment where we aren't just learning about beauty but learning how to be better people in general.

Yesterday was Christmas in July. We got so much stuff...here's just a small taste..

Here is the Kit...it has majority of the tools I will be using...super snazzy huh?
This is the Kit open....it came with SO much stuff. I pulled out the blow dryer, straightener, curling iron and mirror that all fit inside.
My apron, and two capes : ]
This is my nail kit! It has everything having to do with nails in it!
This has a razor, and all the stuff to cut guy's hair with : ]
This is my tripod case.
This would be my tripod with a mannequin head on top. I got two mannequin heads that we practice on.

So basically I'm overwhelmed with all this stuff but having a blast. I'm loving everything I'm learning and really enjoying it and can't wait to put it to use!

I thought I was in love with Paul Mitchell before but now I have an entire Paul Mitchell family! This school really cares about its students, clients, employees, and everyone!

Upside down

So obviously everything about my life has changed since the last post...

I wanted to express my gratitude and love to my family and friends who have simply asked how I'm doing. Just that simple question with the right intention has meant so much to me. It's nice to know that people actually care.

To be completely honest..I'm not okay..but I know that I WILL be ok. Every day is now a huge struggle, and I don't know exactly what to do with myself. Usually I smooth talk everything..but hey this is a blog/journal right..I'm going to be blunt and honest...so brace yourself. I still love Danny...so much, not any less then I did when we were engaged. I literally have to talk myself out of texting/calling him every day. I was so blessed to have been surrounded by family and friends right after the break up happened, so I was incredibly busy. Now I'm in Rexburg, and facing my worst fear...loneliness. It' s something I HAVE to go through, even though I hate it. At this point I can't even think of dating anyone else because I'm still in love with Danny..but I have to go through the whole dating game again. I've always heard that life is hard, but before this I never really understood. I always thought others were just not optimistic enough. Now I completely understand. I'm experiencing what it's like to lose a best friend and have all your dreams and hope completely shredded.

I am still optimistic. I'm not about to let this ruin me, I just have a ways to go before I'm the normal Sarah again so I apologize if I come across different. Right now the only thing I really do trust in is that Heavenly Father loves me. I know I will come out of this a better person...I can't wait for that day! Thanks again every body for being there for me, supporting me and loving me. It's made a world of difference. Especially my brother Ryan. He has his own little way of expressing love such as coming up with analagies about Danny being a wolf in sheeps clothing lol. My brothers aren't the most lovey dovey people ever..but I really enjoyed being with them the past week in West Point. I just hope someday someone will love me and only me and I sure hope they are like my brothers and dad!
