The DO is done....

.... Pictures to come! .....

P.S. It's not 100% complete. The hair cut is done :D but the color is gonna happen in two steps. My hair is so dark and weird that we put in highlights but I want to take it one more step of lightness. I didn't want to fry my hair with bleach so we're doing it little by little.

Pray for him!

So Patrick graduated last week. We've been waiting for this day.... well, for about 2 years. We had a pretty fun day. At 5, his mom and I went down to his school and were able to witness the "ceremony." It's not really a ceremony but more of a "testimony meeting all about Patrick." What happens is, at the beginning of their day, all the night students get together for a pow-wow. During this pow-wow, the graduate gets to stand in front of all his peers and everyone has the chance to "face" him, or in other words, they have the chance to say something to him or about him in front of the entire class. It was really cool to see how many friends he'd made and how many people he'd helped along the way. Many people talked about when they first met and how great of a friend he's been since. He is really a helpful guy and loves cutting hair so much that he's totally willing to give his expertise where needed.

After that was finished, he had to stay and finish up signing some papers so I took off to Emily's place (my sister-in-law). We hung out there with Braxton and Patrick's mom untill it was time to go to dinner. Barry and Taffee (Patrick's step parents) were flying in for the weekend and took us out to dinner that night. We totally went to Chuck-a-rama. They love that place. I'll admit, we love it too. Their salad bar is the best and I'm a scone person! I'm totally making myself hungry now. Anywho, Patrick's parents are hilarious. They showed up with giant sheers and an extra large comb. I guess they decided Patrick needed a hair cut. I'm so proud of Patrick and can't wait to see what he'll be up to next. He received a bunch of offers to go work at salons. He even got one to help open up a salon and give the Patrick Raymond feel to it, but we're still weighing all of our options. Right now he's just filling up his own personal books with appointments. It seems he'll be just as busy now then he was when he was in school.

Gettin' the hair did'!

So, I've decided to do my own form of advertising. Patrick is very skilled in what he does. What does he do might you ask? Well, lately he's been tapping into his many different talents. Patrick is an amazing photographer. He's only just started doing them as a service to others but has been taking amazing photos for quite some time. He does photo shoots for weddings, events, and pretty much whatever. He even has some experience with modeling shoots and more on the "portfolio" side. What could be better than your photographer also being a well known hairdresser? Not much I would say! Patrick is just graduating from Paul Mitchell The School and has had the opportunity to participate in many different events that would qualify him as a professional. He has met many different people in the hair and entertainment industry and is crusin' on up. Through some of these events that he has attended, he has become a Certified Rock Star Hair Extension Professional. He knows like 8 different ways to put extensions in and he only uses the best product! He loves what he does, which makes him an amazing stylist, photographer and asset on anyone's appearance. If anyone needs any of these services, or knows of those who needs them, let either of us know.
