Short and Sweet*

(I took this picture on MY PHONE at central park in strawberry fields. <3)

Im so terrible at keeping up with this thing! Maybe because part of me i crazy busy running around trying to start my career, and maybe there's another part of me that doesn't think anyone reads this silly thing, and so i don't care all that much to update it. I decided to get over both of these things because i dont need readers to write, and i dont need all that much time to sit and just update this because its EXTREMELY fun for me to go back and read what i wrote a couple months ago. :)

So i moved into my apartment in NYC and i am LOVING the east village! Lots of cool people, lots of cool restaurants, lots of cool shops, and it doesn't hurt to live a 10 min walk from soho and chinatown. ;) I handed out about 23908402983 resumes and i've gotten call backs/interviews with a couple... and the two i narrowed it down to are Cutler Salon and Arrojo Studio! (the two places that i've been drawn towards for months now, andddd ironically, they are rival salons.) I have my final interview processes this week so i'll know where i get hired, and if in the case i get hired at both-- I am almost 100% positive that i'm going to be joining the Cutler Salon team. Not to say that Arrojo Studio is worse than Cutler, but more so, Cutler seems to fit me and my vision for where i want to be 10 years from now. Not to mention, i feel like God has reallllllllly been pulling me towards Cutler since i heard about it.... and when you are in doubt with anything... tuck away all the glitz&glam and just go with what God has for you. Whenever i was confused or worried... i took the way that God was leading me, and as scary as it seemed at first--it always turned out to be better than anything i would have ever dreamed in the first place (and more!) 

I am extremely excited for my 21st birthday coming up next week! (June 16!!) I cant believe how the past 21 years has flown by. It still feels like yesterday that i was celebrating my 6th birthday at Chucky Cheeses where my big brother almost got in a fight with the guy dressed up Mr. Chucky Cheese himself! ohhh, the good times. <3

A few of my friends are heading up to the city to come visit me for a couple days this week... which is always a good time! I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life. To love me when I'm at my worst, to encourage me when i am down, to pray for me when i need spiritual strength and healing, to laugh at me when i'm a goof (which is pretty much 99.9% of the time!), to cry with me when i feel like the world is falling apart before my eyes, or to just sit and drink some tea with me while enjoying a good book! In the Bible it describes how brothers and sisters in Christ do these things together, that God gives us these special people to fellowship with, to love, to have community with... and the main reason is because in each one of us is a little piece of God, a little piece of Christ right there, and when we love eachother, spend time together, laugh together, cry together, its us spending time with that little Christ in all of us. 

I have nothing more to say... except-- its so breathtaking to think of all the little Christs God has put in my life... How am i so blessed?

Love, love, love, LOVE--
