"oh the places you'll go"

Oh Dr. Suess and his wisdom...lately this phrase keeps coming to my mind..thinking about all thats happened in my short 21 years of life so far, and how much I still have yet to learn. I recently move to Utah from my home in Washington...it was a leap of faith to say the least. See i'm a hairstylist, and I had a pretty good gig going in Washington. I got taken under Angel Del Solar's wing right out of beauty school, working side by side with him and quickly learning what it took to be a successful hairdresser. I built up a clientele in Wa in  one short year and was very happy with the business I was bringing in. But as I grow older I am learning that life never goes according to plan, and also that things have a funny way of working out. I knew I needed to leave my business in Wa and move to Ut, because yes my business was great and I love being near my family, but my social life was most definitely lacking. Single 21 year old, lds, and NOT living in Ut doesn't work out so well. I've been here for almost a month, and let me tell you starting from scratch as a hairdresser in a new state..requires a lot of patience, and that I lack in. It  has been hard for me, going from making good money to making hmmm NO MONEY. But I know it will just take time. Thank goodness I fly back to Wa every six weeks to work with my beloved clientele there. And what did Utah welcome me with?  Two nasty car accidents within a month of each other (badluck right) Leaving me with some very expensive damage on my beautiful volvo. My patience has definitely been tested and this first month has been rough. BUT...I have my friends, family, and now my wonderful boyfriend helping me through it all.
