Apple Dumpling DesignsI've mentioned a time or two that my daughter has been attending cosmetology school for the last year. She's getting ready to graduate soon and earlier this week I participated in her last evaluation before her final and state boards. She received the highest grade in her group. I'm very proud of her needless to say. THEN...yesterday, one of the instructors asked her to be one of four models for a competition the school is entering for the COVER of a well known hairdressing magazine (I can't remember the name). Erienne will have her hair & make done and then she'll be professionally photographed and then entered into this competition which may end up on the cover of a this magazine. Isn't that cool?
Her senior prom photo's were also used by the photography studio as promo's. We were contacted after they were printed asking if we were interested in signing a release to use them for future promotional work. We got a bunch of free pictures out of it.
Here's one...this is Erienne and her still very current boyfriend of 2-1/2 years...I adore this kid.
Just wanted to share...I'm just so very proud of her. She hates school...so this is a big accomplishment for her.
Hugs,
Back Road BearsWell, she is indeed absolutely gorgeous and deserves all the attention and excitement!!!

Past Time BearsWow, Shantell . . . no wonder you're proud!! Your daughter is gorgeous and certainly deserves to be on a magazine cover! And not only beautiful, but very smart! Congratulations to you both!
BEAUTIFUL daughter you've got there, Shantell. I wore a dress in nearly that exact same pink to my Sr. Ball in 1984 <cringe>. I'd be proud, too. Please let us know if she gets the cover. I love those hair magazines they have in salons!
Wild Thyme OriginalsShe's so pretty Shantell! And how fantastic is that... that you LOVE her boyfriend!? Seriously.... I bet that cuts down on the typical mother/daughter arguments a WHOLE lot! 
Seriously... she's just a doll!
I remember when she was practicing on YOU!

I am proud of her also. :dance: How proud you must be of your beautiful daughter Shantell and that is wonderful that you like her boyfriend.
We look forward to seeing her on the cover of the magazine.

Apple Dumpling DesignsThank you...I am very proud of her. I've always thought she was a very pretty girl but I'm a bit biased as I should be. 
She's one of those girls who doesn't take her looks very serious...she'll just roll out of bed, tosses her hair into a pony tail, grabs whatever happens to be tossed on the floor to put on and out the door she goes...and looks great...no makeup SNOT!!!
YES, her father and I both really like her boyfriend. He is just the nicest young man. Very grounded...very dedicated to school...attending Oregon State University and currently hoping to get into the school of Pharmacy (although he has talked about changing into Physical Therapy). He keeps Erienne grounded and focused as well. We could not have asked for anyone better to have come into her life when he did...I say my thank you prayers for him everyday.
As far as the magazine cover....huge long shot. It's just a big honor for Erienne to even be asked (sounds like she been nominated for an academy award). There a MANY students at her school and they only asked four. I'll keep everyone posted if and when it ever transpires.
HUGS,
