Family Visits

My parents flew in from Oahu, Hawaii this last Wednesday morning to visit for the rest of the week. It's been so good hanging out with my mom again, and good to see my dad, too. On Friday night, Trevor had a birthday party over at Grandma Bailey's house in Erda. [Trevor is Scott and KaCee's 2 year old] And then last night, my dad took the whole family [Marc came up with his little family. His wife, Michelle, is now in her third trimester of pregnancy and they're expecting their 2nd boy in June. Yay!] to Grand America for a family dinner. We got some exciting news from KaCee- she's expecting as well. They will be finding out the sex of the baby on my birthday next month and will be expecting their new baby early September. I'm so thrilled about these new family members! I'm looking forward to meeting my new nephews or nieces! Marc and Shelly left to go back home earlier this afternoon and Scott and KaCee's family is staying the night tonight. Mom and Dad fly back to Hawaii tomorrow afternoon and it's been so great to be with everyone again!
Mom will be making another visit here in May for an important doctor's appointment- she's due to get a full knee replacement sometime in June (close to when Michelle's baby is due!) and will be here in Stansbury, resting.
That's about all for now.

Oh, one more thing- I joined twitter this last week. My username is mrsamynielson if you want to find me.

Feelin' GOOD!

We had midterm exams this week and I'm so glad they're over! Both turned out a lot better than I was expecting. The written test was on Tuesday, with 80 multiple choice questions, three charts to fill in (parts of the human cell, shoulders in the arms/shoulders, and bones in the skull). We had a huge cram session right before Teressa let us take the test, and I did great! I only missed 6 out of 105 points possible! Wednesday brought a new testing environment: the waxing practical exam in the Esthetics lab. I had my good friend Ashley come in as my model. We were directed to perform one yellow wax (arms, legs. Yellow wax is used with the cloth strips) and one blue wax (eyebrows, armpits, upper lip, ect). The legs came really easy to me, although it took a lot of time and we finished with waxing Ashley's eyebrows (her armpit hair wasn't long enough to wax). It was exhausting but really good practice.

Trina and I barely got home today from evaluations and I found out that I scored a 96. Teressa said I work on the thickness of the blue wax when I apply. Woohoo! I'm so glad testing is over now.
