I finally got a job!

Also this past week I got a job at a salon in Visalia about 30 north of where I live. Its called Escape Salon. Its small like the last Salon I worked at which is nice. There's 3 men that work there, two of which own it. I would be one of two other women who work there. I do have to start off doing some grunt work, but that's what I get for leaving my full clientele down south. The owner is really working with me and my situation so I hope for a smooth transition because I do have to start renting right away. Which if I don't make rent one week, I will have to pay to work, if that makes sense. So I hope for the best and for walk-ins :) I start on the 4th because I'm babysitting on the 2nd and 3rd, so keep me in your prayers. I will try to put pictures up later, its a cute place!

Family and a Staph Infection





Let me start off by saying sorry for not keeping up with my blog. I'm bad at it cause I feel like I don't have anything interesting to say. :) But I will try harder to keep up with it.


This past week Greg and I had some family in town. I'm not sure if you know yet or not but my father-in-law moved up about 2 1/2 weeks ago about 1 mile away from us. He and my mother-in-law are buying into the dairy. He started working with Greg as soon as he got here. He is living in a trailer by the house that their in the process of fixing up. My mother-in-law is still working down south as a neo-natal nurse and commuting back and forth from that to the dairy. Its already been nice to have some family up here. Anyway, Steve and David (Greg's brother's) do construction work, and they're helping with the house. Adri and Mya (Steve's wife and daughter) joined them for the trip. It was so fun to be able to spend time with my sister-in-law and niece! I got to cut 4 long hairs on my nieces head, although very cute, very impractical. :)


As Adri and I were hanging out we decided to go to a baby store in Bakersfield with one of her good friends Laura and her daughter Kara. Well I had a little bug bite looking thing on my arm for a few days and it didn't itch but it hurt pretty bad. It looks like nothing and I though maybe I was just being a baby myself, so I didn't think much of it. Laura happens to be a nurse and once I showed her she told me to go see a doctor cause it looked liked a staph infection. So I went right after she said that, and sure enough, staph infection it was! I'm on antibiotics and have some 800mg ibuprofen for the pain. I've never had this before but the doctor told me its going around, so be careful cause it can get really bad if left untreated. Well its been a busy week, but it all turned out just fine.
