the end of my life for a year... the beginning of my life in the future!

my life is officially over for one whole year. every day (monday-friday) i will be going to school at carsten institute (for cosmetology) from 6-10pm.

for an entire year.

it's bitter sweet really. but i survived my first week and, although i didn't have much free time, i really enjoyed going to school! it also helps that alan has conceded to going to bed a half hour later than usual, just so that we can have a little more time together (he's crazy about his sleep, so this is a big deal!).

a quick note about my hubs. he's being so wonderful through all this. he's told me that he is going to try and keep the apartment picked-up and clean so that when i get home at the end of the day i will feel relaxed, instead of being stressed that the place is messy (also a very big deal...the man is not known for his willingness to clean house). how sweet right?! he's also taking on full sergeant-duty throughout the week, and then the pup is my responsibility on the weekends. we're definitely having to make changes and compromises, but in the end, it will be worth it! i cannot wait to get started in this business, to be doing something i actually care about. so even though my life is over for one year, it's really only getting started.

stay tuned for more adventures of a new york city beauty school girl...

xoxo

Yay! Congrats again Brooke! And it's good for Alan! What a sweetheart to help you keep it clean. PS. There is this kid (maybe 18ish or so) that has the same face/hair as Alan. He works at the grocery store I go to regularly, and it is scary! I literally have thought it was him about 2-3 times I have gone in there! I'll have to sneak a picture somehow of him and show you! You're married to Alan though, so you might not think so, but maybe! hehe. Love love!
