Good Timing. God's Timing.

My, goodness. How time flies!

I have been working at European Wax Center for almost four months now! I can honestly say that I still LOVE it! It is such a fun, challenging, and exciting environment that I have yet to get bored with.

When I think back on the last year and where I was, I am constantly amazed at God's timing.

One year ago, I was saying goodbye to my job as a nanny and beginning my esthetics schooling. I was pretty sure I would end up at a spa or hotel in the area when I finished, so those were the places I applied after I graduated in November. I had heard about EWC from a friend while I was in school but hadn't really given it much thought. In March, I decided to apply and was invited to a group interview where I was able to meet the owner and manager and learn more about the company. I was hooked. After another interview shortly after, I was offered the job and wax a part of their launch in Lake Oswego! I feel SO INCREDIBLY BLESSED to be working at a job I love with an incredible group of coworkers.

Much like the years previous, this job came at the exact right time, financially speaking. Taking that much time from work to go to school/job hunt was pretty risky on our part. But with a little guidance, prayer, and a lot of faith, we made the leap!

And let me tell you: God. Is. Good.

here's to the men.

In December, Jeffrey and I will be celebrating four years of marriage. I am happily married. Correction. I am head-over-heals-love-him-more-each-day-blessed-beyond-measure-happily married! Ok, enough with the mushy stuff and on to the reason this post is titled, "here's to the men". As I think over my journey of meeting my husband and everything leading up to that, there are a number of factors that I know contributed to finding this wonderful man. Everything from having a similar upbringing to great communication, are obviously apart of it. But I wanted to focus on one of (I believe) the key factors. Men. That's right, men. We (as women) have all had our fair share of experiences, both good and bad, with men. Whether we realize it or not, they have helped shaped our view of who we are as women and what we deserve in a boyfriend/spouse. This starts at childhood and goes into our teenage and young adult years. The sta...

tears

I wouldn't say that I am an overly emotional person. I have always thought that I am pretty well in tune with them and they rarely get the better of me in situations. My logic is usually able to balance things out. Yesterday, I was watching a show and there was a ballet scene featuring one single dancer on the stage. She radiated strength, passion, and was so full of life. It was so incredibly beautiful and as silly as it sounds, it brought tears to my eyes. When I was younger, I can remember my Mom getting teary eyed over everything. We could be watching a movie or tv show and she would be wiping her eyes over a beautiful song, reuniting of a family, a piece of music, anything. I remember always thinking that it was so silly. Call it genetics, but I now do the same thing. Maybe it's growing up and being more secure in who I am, but it happens, often. I am usually able to feel it coming on and quickly distract myself ...

Leo Allen's Birth Story

The day my little Leo was born was truly, the best day of my life. Now I know, I'm supposed to say that about the day I married Jeffrey, but the day I married him was not the important part as much as the marriage we had/have ahead of us (which is still awesome by the way!) The day I had Leo was truly the best day on so many levels. Often times when I've heard people talk about the birth of their child, I think they are typically referring to the actual baby-comes-out and meeting them part. What I am referring to is the whole shbang. From the very first contraction to finally holding him in my arms. It was hard, yes, but I don't think that holding him in my arms would have been nearly as amazing without everything leading up to it. From start to finish, delivery and labor were absolutely amazing! Now, I had been preparing for years for the birth of my child - researching, reading, and envisioning what would happen. Birth has always be...
