Ever since I was 17 I have wanted to go to beauty school. But life happened and my dream never came true.
So I worked. The rent won't pay itself, ya know.
And then I met and married my best friend and we had four beautiful children. And life has been so good. My blessings have been abundant. I can only smile and thank God for my sweet family.
A couple of years ago I wrote this about the panic of realizing that my kids are growing up. It's so scary how fast 2 years flies by! So, here we are. This is Rylie's last year in middle school and Ivy will be in 1st grade. This means that I have an almost high schooler and that this year all 4 of my kids will be in school all day. A little freaky! But this time I am not panicking. I ,however, am feeling the need to make some decisions. What will I do with my time? And as I have pondered and prayed and researched my options I have felt confused at times, but still hopeful that my path would be made clear.
And now my path is clear. I know what I am going to do. And I couldn't be more excited!
Tomorrow I go tour Bella Institute School of Cosmetology.
I feel so good about this. And best of all I have an option to be a full time morning student, which means I am out of school by 2:00 every day. Which means that I am home when my kids come home from school. Which means I'm home to fix dinner and help with homework. Which means that my family doesn't suffer from my absence. Which means that this is so perfect!!! My research into different school options has paid off. I will be home weekends and have Mondays off. This couldn't get any better...unless it was free!
Which it definitely isn't. But that's O.K.
I just want to make my dream come true.
School starts on September 27th. And I'm so excited!

SOOOOO excited for you!!!! You'll do a fabulous job. Love the schedule. You still have a day off to volunteer at the school or do errands too. Fabulous!
Yay, can't wait to hear all about the tour!!
You will do be awesome at it! Great schedule!
aghhh!!! FANTASTIC!
That's awesome, those are some great skills to have and you will be great at it too.
That's awesome! You will LOVE being a hair stylist. It is great because you can make your own hours, work from home or in a salon and you set your own pay. Good luck!
Good for you!!!! It feels good to accomplish goals that you set a long time ago.
Great job on following your dream. I was always a little jealous of Becky when we were roomates. Plus I know a lot of people that cut hair out of their homes and make quite a bit of money doing it.
So happy for you Tonya! You will love it, I'm sure!
That's awesome Tonya!! I am so happy for you! I look forward to hearing all about it!
I am thrilled for you. You are going to be amazing. I am so glad everything has worked out. Keep us up to date on how it goes!
This is so EXCITING Tonya! When you need a person to cut hair on, let me know. I'll be your guinea pig. If you find yourself in a bind with your kids, give me a call. I'll pick them up and keep them for you if needed. Best of luck in this new adventure!!!
