Life in General Update

I took my end of training exam today- I was told that I did pretty good. We get our final scores on Monday. Next week is our second part of training, which is called "nesting". We get to go out on the floor and put our new skills into action. I'm a tiny bit nervous, but not too bad. I think that I'll do well, and get the hang of it pretty quickly. I've tried the clients' product that I will be working for... they're pretty awesome, especially the Wen hair care. They did one side of my head in class with the product, and the difference between the two sides were amazing. They call it being "Chazed", because the owner of Wen Hair Care's name is Chaz Dean. I posted the websites for the clients in my previous post, so take a look at them. Things are going well on the home front. I had a parent teacher conference with Mrs. Guinn, Chloe's kindergarten teacher yesterday morning, and overall it was really good and informative. She said that Chloe is doing extremely well academically, and that she was a smart little girl. We're very proud of her. We switched Charlotte into a toddler bed Wednesday night, and she's doing really well with the transition. I've also finally broke her of her pacifier, night light, and sippy cup at bedtime. Chandler is developing better than we ever expected when we were with him in the NICU. He's "technically" 7 months old now, because of the fact that he was two months premature, even though he's now nine months. He's crawling, sitting up, jibbering, pulling up, and walking around furniture. I put him down on the floor to let him crawl earlier tonight and my cell phone charger cord was out... he started to play with, so I took it away from him and put it up back behind the side table where I figured he couldn't get it. Next thing I know, he had pulled himself up on the side table, walked around it, and got the cord again anyway. When I took it away for the second time he started to cry and gave me one of those looks like " I just worked so hard to get that! What is wrong with you!". It was hilarious. Adam is doing pretty good as well. He has torn two tendons in his right arm working on the new house, so his latest nick name is "lefty". So, all in all we are all doing really great, and things really seem to be turning around for us. I want to be sure to thank every one for your thoughts and support during the last few years. They were pretty trying times, but that is all behind us now. Love to all!

HEY - I have the same question ... what do you do with these companies? Sales? I'm defiantly into organic products, and I've found that I love the way most organic beauty products work on my skin and hair...let me know if you think those wen products are good. I currently use Jason brand products (soaps, lotions etc.) Glad to hear everything is falling into place, you deserve it! xoxo :)
