Update!

I figured I better update the blog since it was in January the last time I did it and a lot has happened since then, but ill just share the big stuff! Starting in January Cody and I both started school; only this time I wasn't going to be attending BYU-I. It was kind of a bitter sweet thing since that school has taught me so much and allowed me to feel the spirit in ways I knew I couldn't anywhere else, but I ended up attending another great school here in Idaho Falls, Austin Kade Academy. No, I didn't go to  hair school because if I did I would fail considering there is a lot of pressure putting someone else's hair in my hands! I decided to go into the Esthetician program they had offered there. For those of you who aren't familiar with what an Esthetician is don't worry because I wasn't either. An Esthetician works mainly with the skin. Such as, facials, waxing, microdermabrasiosn, chemical peels, eyelash and eyebrow tinting, and spray tans. Anything that deals with the epidermis ( outer layer of the skin) they do! I can say that I had an absolute blast and wish I was still going there. I met a lot of great people there and I had awesome instructors. I learned so many great things, not only skin, but ways to take care of my health and body and it really made me think twice about what I am doing with it and what I can do to be better. I gained a ton of confidence in areas I struggled and can say I am so much better now. I also gained a ton of experience trying new things and meeting new people everyday and I loved it!

I recently took my state boards tests and that was a huge success! I am now an official Esthetician and currently waiting for my license to arrive. I don't have a job yet and I probably won't be working until we move to Pennsylvania, but will hopefully find something out there.
Cody is currently going through his last semester with BYU-I which is so crazy! This means we are so close to moving and he will be that much closer to being a PA. He is staying super busy and getting good grades. I couldn't be more proud of him and all the hard work he has done. We recently had a meeting with the director of Salus and I was a little intimidated at first. Everything seemed so intense and the whole time I felt like I was going to have to be a widow for a year, but after the meeting we talked to the director and he seemed like a nice guy. We are excited for this next chapter in our lives and can't wait to see how everything goes!

Cody also had a birthday this past month and he turned the big 2-3! He's getting so old..... :) I had a plan to make him golf cupcakes like a picture that I had saved off of Pinterest, but failed miserably and there was no way I was going to take a picture of that hot mess, so ill let you guys do the imagining on that one.


We have had a great couple months and are so glad that it's summer and have a lot of things planned. Thanks for checking in with the Fowler family! :)
