Ocean City!

So I didn't realize it's already been two weeks since I posted something! Time is flying by so fast. I can't believe we've been here for over a month already. I've been super busy with work now that I've got two jobs. I've been working at Gap about 4 nights a week and Victoria's Secret I work during the day 28 hours next week. I'm really not excited about that. I only wanted about 20 at each job so I'll see if I can handle this much! Since Adam works all day everyday I have to make sure i get all the groceries and errands done, plus make sure the apartment is clean, laundry is done, and have dinner ready every night. So having two jobs on top of that is getting pretty interesting! I've been doing a lot of crock-pot meals!

Anywho, I do have some exciting news though. I finally know which hair school I'm going to! I've been really wanting to go to this school called Taylor Andrews in Layton. I went and looked around before we left for Maryland and was really impressed with their facility. They have it designed to look like a professional salon. The bad thing was this school was going to cost $14,000. That's quite a bit for only 13 months! So I emailed them and told them I wanted some information on their school and getting scholarships. Well, a few days later I got an email from their recruiting director and she told me that I could have a $4,000 scholarship if I signed up soon! Plus, if I finance with one of their programs, or pay it all up front I can get another 10% off. So I could end up paying only $9,000 for that school which is extremely good! I got in contact with her and told her I wanted to do this so I sent in a registration form and the registration fee and my spot is saved for me to start September 22!!! I'm really excited. I think I'm really gonna love it.

Now that I've got all that stuff out of the way here's the real reason I'm posting today! Since the boys don't work on Sundays they usually like going and visiting places after church. We decided to go to Ocean City, MD! It is about 2 1/2 to 3 hours away from where we are. We stayed for about 3 or 4 hours. It was a beautiful day! I love the ocean. I don't get to see it very often so I try to soak it all in while I can! We really want to go back when its warmer this summer. The water was FREEZING. Well I know everyone wants to see pictures to here you go!

Along the backsides of the buildings bordering the beach was a fun boardwalk that reminded me of the fair. There were game booths, funnel cakes, souvenir shops, and carnival rides!



Just having a little fun :)

This is where the rides were plus on the edge of that boardwalk you could go fishing there. People catch sharks, blowfish, and all sorts of cool things!! The boys want to go back and do that!



We walked along the beach for awhile. About 3 of the single guys were brave enough to jump in the freezing water. The rest of us went seashell hunting! We found the top of a real crab shell. You could see the teeth and where the eyes were!




Not all of the buildings looked like this, but his is the kind of atmosphere that was here. Not really nice, but extremely beach like with shacks and beach houses.


Well that's all I have for today! Sorry again it's been so long. I will keep up on it better and at least blog about what we've been up to! Love and miss you guys!
