under construction

so i realllly screwed up my blog. teaches me i shouldn't mess around with the HTML and everything else. so for the next while, my blog will look like this.... i am trying to figure things out so it will probably be a while until it looks great, and i miss blogging, so bare with me. lately we have been really busy. i joined michaels soccer team, which we have to get pictures of, and i really love it. we have both also been trying to get into shape so we have been running almost every night for almost two weeks (besides soccer night). on saturday we went to a waterpark here in calgary for the day and went down the waterslides so many times, did the hot tub, played on the kids stuff, diving board... everything. it was a blast. we went out to eat and took a long walk to a great view of the city. it was an awesome day.
since moving to a brand new salon, its been super slow, but the past two weeks have been really amazing weeks and i am seeing a lot of return clients, and referrals! also, i finally got my hairstylist license and my red seal!! its really exciting for me because i really wanted to finish all my schooling and complete my apprenticeship before we started a family someday so i could work from home, and it feels amazing to have it over with and know that i have no more exams.
my thoughts are pretty scattered right now, but i will try to update this more often. we are getting so excited for summer coming up. we have a lot of little trips we want to do. we always spend july 1st in raymond with michaels family, 3rd weekend in july we go to magrath for magrath days (one of my favorite days), we head to shushwap lake end of july for a petersen family reunion (the first in a long time!!), and hopefully taking a whole week off to go somewhere we haven't decided yet. in between all those events we plan to camp a few times (we love camping!!), hike in kananaskis since we are so close now, and visit friends and family.
we are headed this weekend to lethbridge to go to the temple and see my best friend (nikki byam) before she heads on her mission to Argentina. we are going a little party for her and i am so sad to see her go. i will hopefully get some good parting pictures.

i will leave you with a picture of my best friend jessica's wedding. nikki and i were bridesmaids, they were mine. :) but the photos from the wedding are almost up on Kristopher Orrs blog. I will let you know when you can check them out!
