My district leader came in today to go over a few things, and while I haven't officially been promoted yet, I am well on my way! I needed to get my request rate up to an average of 15 per week (basically, having people who liked how I cut their hair come back and request me), and I was averaging 6-point something a week in January when she came in and now I am averaging almost 10 a week! She was really impressed with how much that number had gone up! She is also having me attend a meeting for Assistant Salon Leaders (ASLs) next Tuesday at her house and wants me to go on some retreat later next month for new salon leaders and assistant salon leaders, so...pretty much as soon as I get my request rate up to an average of 15 per week, I am promoted! One of my concerns was that she would move me to another salon, but she told me today that for now, I am going to stay where I am because her plans kinda fell through...I am just hoping that after my promotion, I can motivate the other girls to work hard and get the numbers up for the salon as a whole and she'll let me just stay there...thank you all so much for your prayers, and please continue to pray!

Sorry it has been so long since we last posted...I was waiting for Jesse to write something about his friends coming to town, but I guess he's been too busy with school and work, so I will!
The weekend after Andy and Laura came, we had the privelege of hosting four of our guy friends at our house! Wahli, Eric, Jono, and Steve all came for the weekend! They got in on Saturday at some point (I was working) and pretty much left right away and were gone all day, literally ALL OVER town! When they finally got home close to 10:00, I asked them where all they had gone, and they were like "where DIDN'T we go is the question!" Needless to say, they were all worn out and just hung out and watched some crazy kung fu movie...I went to bed about halfway through! They went to church with us the next morning and they decided that pizza sounded good for lunch, so we took them downtown to Giordano's and then to Ghirardelli for dessert. We hung out in town for a little longer and then came back to our apartment, where they packed up and left. I had a meeting at work that evening, and while that didn't sound like much fun, the prospect of being around some more estrogen sounded heavenly...don't get me wrong, these are all awesome guys, but I was to the point where if I had heard one more joke about farting or pooping, I would have about gone crazy! I guess Jesse would have felt the same way if I would have had four of my girl friends up to visit, so...I know they all had fun, and that's what counts!
We had a Super Bowl party at our house last Sunday, it was so much fun! GO COLTS!!! We had two other couples over (Craig and Danielle, Michael and Leeanne) and we all just hung out and watched the game and ate lots of food! We enjoyed most of the commercials, but I have to say that we laughed hardest at the one with Kevin Federline...It was so funny to watch the news here after the game was over because they were at all these Bears parties and everyone's just like "there's always next year!" and "we'll win next year!"...
This past Monday, our company held a regional awards banquet out in the suburbs. It was a fancy dinner (everyone was wearing fancy dresses and had their hair all done up) along with the presenting of some awards for the best salons in the area. Danielle and I were just excited to get all dressed up! It was a really fun evening, there were over 1,200 people at the event, all employees of Hair Cuttery in the Chicagoland area, so the energy in the place was awesome! My DL still hasn't come for a follow-up, so I will definitely post when she does!
Kurtis and Aimee will be in town next weekend and my grandparents possibly the next, so our weekends have been pretty full lately! We're having fun having people at our house, though, so we aren't complaining at all! Have a great weekend, everyone!

A little update...
We had some guests in town this weekend! Andy and Laura were in town to see a friend, so they came over and spent the night last night and came to church with us this morning. After church, we went out to eat at a Thai restaurant over by Moody and drove around a little bit and came home. They left soon after we got home, but it was so fun to have guests overnight! We just relaxed this afternoon and watched most of both football games that were on (how ironic that the Bears and the Colts are going to the Super Bowl?!?) and I baked some incredible chocolate chip cookies...yum!!! :) Next weekend, Eric, Wahli, and Jono are going to come for the weekend, so we have more guests to look forward to, and we are really excited!
Things are still going well at work...last week was pretty slow, as I guess January usually is in the salon, but yesterday more than made up for it...we were SO busy and I was SO tired by the time the night was over! As an assignment from my district leader, I am supposed to challenge the girls in the salon to surpass our goal for retail sales this week, so hopefully, that goes well! She should be back at the beginning of February for a follow-up to see how my numbers are. Thank you all so much for your prayers and I will do my best to keep you all updated! My friend, Danielle, is going to start at my salon tomorrow, so I am really excited about that, she is such a sweetheart! Well, that's all I have for now, have a great week!

new year
Well, Christmas Break will soon be over, and we will once again settle into a routine. It has been great to visit home over break, and we will be returning to Fort Wayne once again this weekend.
Stephanie has been doing a wonderful job at work. This week her area manager came in to talk to her about getting her on an "action plan." She is planning on promoting Stephanie to Assistant Manager as soon as some of Stephanie's numbers increase! I don't think we expected that to happen so soon, but Stephanie is very good at her job.
I don't have too much else to say, I just wanted to let everyone know about that and say that we're very excited to come home this weekend.
