bringin home mo bacon!

Bacon...means money, sometimes.  and so it is in this case-today one of my dreams came to fruition!  The opportunity  to teach at Renaissance Hair Academy has come my way!  I finally get to teach what I love.  I will still be working at Modifi, but will be teaching on Monday, half of Tuesday, and Thursday night.  Perfect part time job.  But it really is the teaching that I am most excited about.  The school is awesome, and pretty new so there is more room for growth and more one on one for the students.  Yeah for School, I say!

This last week was not a bland one-to say the least.  On Thursday 

i discovered a big inflamed lump on my head and ...well, i freaked out!!  

Next day, i went to the doc expecting to hear the worst and He said I just have an infection and gave me some antibiotics.   good news eh?  heck yah!  Good news of the week:

Kurtis came even closer to graduation.

I cleaned the whole house.

I went to Ephraim with Carly and Lindsay, because My mother had Sister Bonnie D Parkin come and talk at the stake Releif Society enrichment night.  It was amazing!!!

Kurtis got Friday off-that's pretty big!

Holly and Kent and their two cute kids, Jack and Jordon flew in on Friday and stayed until Sunday morning.  It was a blast!  Kurtis and I got to sharpen our parenting skills by watching the two kids on Saturday night. Aslo a blast-they are so cute!!

Sunday, we went down to Ephraim for EAster Sunday celebrations.  What a great weekend!! 

So, after much coaxing, here is our long awaited blog page!!!  And hopefully this can be an excellent source for catching up on our life together and perhaps no matter where this life takes us we can keep in touch by..well, blogging!! 

 On the 4th of this month Kurtis and I celebrated our 7 month anniversary...ok it really went like this 

Mel-"hey is it the fourth today?"

Kurtis-"yeah"

Mel-" so we've been married for 7 months!"

Kurtis-"yeah"

Mel-"Sweet! Happy seven months "

Kurtis-"yeah"

We definately fit the perfect woman and man profiles sometimes, but we sure have a fun time together.  Life has proved to be very exciting and full of suprises!  The last seven months has been awesome, and very busy.  Kurtis is in full time school, and full time work for TTA...and...full time husband !  He keeps himself busy even on weekends with work sometimes, and he plays with and air soft club in Orem.  He loves his boy time and I am glad he has a release from all the serious adult stuff.

I work full time at Modifi Salon and Spa, in Orem.  I love it so much!  I have a girls night every Wednesday, and a craft day once a month with my friend Carly-which has definately helped in decorating our home

We look forward for what is up ahead and hope to maintain a happy, healthy life.
