It is Really Happening!!

In yesterdays post,
I mentioned that I would reveal all about our life changing event.
This is HUGE for us for many reasons.
And yesterday it became officialish.

Here goes:
I am quitting my current job (gave my 3 weeks yesterday because I'm on vacation this week) and going to school full time to Toni and Guys School of Cosmetology!!
I've wanted to be a hairdresser ever since I was a little girl
when my mom first started working at this school.
As I grew older, 
my parents thought the obsession would change.
But it didn't.
They still practically made me go to college,
which I did and did not like.
however if it wasn't for college, I wouldn't have met my awesome husband
Them seeing where I was working after getting my degree 
(a local bank making no money)
and how unhappy and miserable I was,
they offered to help Dan and I pay for this school.
I almost cried I was so happy.
Unfortunately,
me quitting comes with A LOT of budgetting 
and even figuring out if we could make this possible.
Even though this is what I always wanted,
could it be done?
After number crunching for a week or two,
with Dans current income and me working my night waitressing job,
we could actually live.
I cried when we figured this out.
I'm nervous and was going to say no because I don't want to let my parents, Dan, or myself down. 
But Sir Dan helped me realize this is my dream, my passion.
He even stated that if I need to practice putting make up on somebody,
he'll be a dumbie for me.
Now that's love!
I've been holding in my good news until it was all finalized.
This coming week we are going to put the money down.
I start February 12th and go for 9-10 months.
I will come out wiht 1 more certificate than 99% of cosmetology schools
because of the Toni and Guy accredidation which is amazing!
I've never been more excited for school as I am for this.
My goals are:
to be the best in my class, get into the salon (there's a middle ground and a very prestigious salon in accordance with the school) right from school, and open my own salon in the future.
I have the best parents and husband a girl could ask for.
Not many people have families/husbands that will stop everything 
and make sure you're happy.
I am truly blessed.

I will keep you all updated on everything.

I hope you all go on this journey and enter into this new chapter with me.
I can assure you,
it'll be nothing but fun and excitement
(and pictures of everything I learn/do... DUH)

Ta ta for now <3
