Work work work
I have a job! I think I said that before, but now, two weeks in, it's really really true. I'm working at a salon (or Sahh lon as Miss Deb would say) in Huntersville that I love. It's small but not too small, with five other very lovely women working there. I've been able to do a few cuts, a few colors, and even a perm in my two weeks here. I'm looking forward to meeting more people in the area so that I can get myself a few clients!
In other, very past the date news, Ryan and I headed up to Raleigh (which, side-note, I was saying wrong, calling it "Rally" rather than "Rahhh leigh) to see our friend Tiffany in the touring company of Xanadu. If you haven't checked out this show, please do, especially if you're lucky enough to catch Tiffany in it, she's amazing! We got to hang out with her after and also see a friend from college that I hadn't caught up with in years, it was a really good time.
That weekend we got hit with two inches of snow and ice. Now, I know that being a native midwestener, this should have been no big deal, but as the ENTIRE town shut down, we were some of the only crazies to try and go out in the ice! We found out that in Charlotte, there is no plowing or salting, so it took us three tries to make it out of our neighborhood to get to a previously scheduled dinner with new friends. The dinner and company ended up being completely worth our almost demise and perilous travel with the 10 other brave souls attempting to drive on the ice sheet.
Other than that, Ryan and I are continuing to try and meet people and get ourselves more established in the area. We are so fortunate to now have a church family that we can call home for the first time in six years. We never really found a place to connect at until we found the Vineyard here in North Charlotte. It's actually very near where I work, so I'm hoping to get some clients from church! Every week I now anticipate Sunday and wake up excited once it gets here for both the fellowship and most importantly, the worship. I'm growing so much there already and we've only been three times! It's really helping in my still ever present goal to be a "better person" out here in Charlotte.
Part of that better person lifestyle led me to purge some things and people from my life that were holding me down. I deleted a lot of people off of my Facebook who aren't a part of my life anymore. To be honest, a lot were people I hadn't talked to since high school, and in high school, it was the passing in the hall type of talking, not real friendship. I'm blessed with some of the more amazing close friends that anyone could ask for, and I'd rather share all of myself with them and with the people I continue to meet than people from my past that have not made this journey with me.
In other news, I may be going to NYC in April for a 4 day hair class. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Love,
Jesi
