Sun, Limo, BBQ and Extractions!

Happy Easter Sunday!!! Today is Angela's Birthday so the Ryan household had a BBQ feast. Lately there's been a lot of BBQs due to fine weather but little Miss Sunshine has seemed to disappear again. Last week we had a BBQ/Limo/Drinks Night. It was a great night and the turn out was good although we did have a few drop outs. We started in Romeo's house, went to Copan for cocktails, Workman's for drinks, Madonnas for free shot and ended up in ClubM and Charlies for some after drinks grub. I colored Mary's hair the day before and she told me she loves the color which is good news to me! Romeo brought me to a football match Shamrock Rovers Vs UCD on Good Friday at the Shamrock Rovers Stadium.
I'm preparing myself for Orthodontics braces. I had to get 6 teeth extracted in total, 3 pre molars and 3 wisdom. So far I have 3 pre molars and 1 wisdom tooth out. In 2weeks time I will get another wisdom tooth out and the last one will have to be surgically extracted. The extractions are not as painful as I thought it would be. Hopefully I will have my braces in by next month. I can't wait!! This should be an exciting adventure.
So, after the graduation I've been doing some freelance work- up-styling hair for photo shoots, cutting and coloring hair. I will probably do this for another few months then start working in a salon full time. I really enjoy the freedom of choosing my own hours and spending more time with my loved ones! I had to pass up a job offer working on a cruise ship for 6 months abroad because I'm getting braces so I wouldn't be allowed to come home and get them tightened. But the braces would be worth it at the end!

Graduation Pics!!

On my graduation day Friday 8th April 2011.



Mary and DawnAhh

Mary- my partner in crime, my dancing partner, my clubbing buddy! We share so much things in common and I've asked her to come to my graduation!












Craig and DawnAhh

Craig- he's been really supportive and encouraging, helping me make decisions at crucial times and always being there for me. So much love for this guy and he definitely had to see me graduate as I wouldn't have made it without him.

David Marshall and DawnAhh 

David- I've known this guy for 4½ years! He has taught me a lot in the theories of hair cutting, client relations and loads of stories of his past experiences with clients. David is some character for one character and I've really enjoyed some of the stories he has told me. I've enjoyed working for him and with him.



James and DawnAhh

James- my tutor. I've learned so much from this guy. He has taught me some of the best haircuts in the world and his art in hair is greatly appreciated. I'm really honored to be taught by such a great tutor and mentor. He definitely delivers!
