In The Beginning

Well, here I go. I never thought that I would take the time to blog because I don't have the time. Especially now that school has started. Fortunately for us all it was an assignment to create an ID page and so I now begin! There are certain requirements that I get to share so I am sorry to bore those who already know me and hope that my life is interesting enough that you will want to finish reading. I am the youngest of 6 children (hence the title of my blog 'Zee Caboose'). I have 4 wonderful sisters and a great brother. I have an amazing sister-in-law and 3 handsome brother-in-law... or is it brothers-in-law. Either way I claim them all as my family. In addition to all these super adults I am the proud aunt of 14! My parents are my best friends and I really do enjoy coming home, playing games, and talking to them. They are very good to me and help me afford to live in this expensive world. I love them all very much.

I grew up in the small community of Tremonton. I am a Bear River graduate in 2005. Right after graduation I enrolled at USU. The summer before I started I got to work at a Boy Scout Camp in the Uintahs. While I worked there I got to meet many fun and different people. I got to work with my two best friends. We were the camp cooks. There was a High Adventure base just next to us and the guys there were very nice (in personality and looks). One day they were asking if anyone could cut hair. I have never cut anyone's hair but I told them I would try (they were really cute okay?). They said they had their own clippers and to come over. One of my friends asked if I would be brave enough to cut her hair too. So I found a pair of scissors and started my new profession.

I went one semester at USU and then put myself on hold while I went to Beauty School. I attended New Horizons Beauty College from March of 06 to March of 07. I graduated and found a job in the Logan Mall at Mastercuts. There I worked for 8 months until I went to Australia to serve a full time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There I served in the City of Adelaide for all 18 months. I left on November 28, 2007. I had 9 companions total. One Idaho, Samoa, Ohio, Colorado, 2 from China and Sydney, and one from Papua New Guinea. I returned on May 5, 2009. I found a job on Campus at the USU Barbershop and have made some more wonderful friends! I really do love cutting hair and getting to meet so many people. I love the conversations that I am able to have and the different view points I am introduced to. I love people, and I love seeing them happy with their image when I am done. The other day I was able to give a haircut to the President of the University (He is a great tipper).

Some things that I love to do is read, play cards and games, racquetball, walking, hiking, fishing, singing, playing instruments (I am not good, I just like to pretend), watch movies, attend church and activities, cook, carve pumpkins... the list really could go on, so lets just say I love being with people.

My mother always said, "Fun is an attitude, not an activity" and I think that has really influenced me. Where ever I am and what ever situation I am in I can be happy. It is a decision that I choose to make and it makes me so happy when I choose it. And in case you were wondering I am the favorite child!

Okay... what else. Oh, my major! Right now I am an undeclared sophomore, but I am leaning towards Journalism with a Public Relations emphasis. I am also thinking about two other minors. The first being Instructional Technology and the second being Family and Human Development. It is kind of just what fit into my schedule.

I don't know if their is anything that would set me apart from other student except I sit on the front row and love making comments when I understand a topic or if I have something worth saying. I have found in other meetings or classes sometime the instructor is struggling and needs participation but when I make myself come up with something to say it usually doesn't make sense so I promise to make comments when I can in class.

The last thing is my number. I don't know how to put it into the profile so it will be in my first blog entry. 435-279-0285
