Nothing is better than the Cardinals making the playoffs... EXCEPT being there to WITNESS them do it! We went to Denver this weekend to catch two Cardinals games. It was such a blast. A big thanks to Rich and Erica for hosting us! Erik and Whit came too so it was a ton of fun. We had great food, great company and Ry even caught a ball during batting practice! We loved every minute of the trip and are still coping with being back but hey, GO CARDS!

School Spirit

So it was no secret I wanted to attend hair school since I was really little. I got distracted from this desire and after 3 years at BYU I was reminded just how badly I wanted hair school. Its my "passion" if you will. Well when I started to look seriously into fulfilling my dream I was shocked and discouraged. The cheapest school I could find was over $10,000. There was no way I could justify that debt to get my dream education. So I kept searching and hoping I could find a way. MATC was that way. At less than half the cost of the cheapest school, hair school became a dream within reach. It sounds cheesey but without it I could have never been able to do it. Well now I have been attending since January and I absolutely love everything about it. The program is fantastic. My instructors are simply incredible. I get the attention I need, the training I need, and most of all I love going every day. When I first saw how cheap tuition was I thought there had to be a catch. I was wrong. It is really an incredible school and I feel like I am as well trained (if not better) as any other hair school student out there.

Why this MATC tangent you may ask? Well all the private hair schools have banded together and hired a lobbyist to try and shut my school down. They claim we are too much competition and some other things. I don't really understand the specifics. I do understand that this is a serious issue. Excuse the cliche phrase but MATC really does make dreams come true for people like me who felt their dream was out of reach. It is a great program and needs to continue. I just needed to get that out there. Thanks for humoring me and reading.

On a more exciting note, there is a new MATC to be built at Thanksgiving Point! The ground breaking ceremony was this week and we got to go! The governor was even there. Ha it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pics we took while waiting for it to start. Oh also- another blessing of MATC and starting school when I did- I met Stacy. School would never have been the same without her. Yay for hair school (and for getting our hair as blonde as possible!)!

Allow me to explain...

Why the new blog? Why socanary? Let me tell ya real fast. New blog because the old one was malfunctioning and so why not? The url takes a second longer to explain. Most people who know me very well know I have an uncle who is a major part of my life. Even when we lived in St. Louis I saw him regularly. I love him very dearly. He is very big on nicknames. Mine is Canary. Lately when I do or say things only I would do or say he describes them as "canary". Thus it is a name and an adjective that describes me better than any other word I have happened upon so far in my life. So I thought it would be good. Probably a longer explanation than you all wanted but there ya have it. Hopefully soon I will have something of interest to post about for all 5 of you readers out there!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! That's all for now!
