Esthetics?

So, I have been thinking about what I want to be when I "grow up" and is considering Esthetics. I could be done in less than a year, and then make up to 60,000 a year.
I just need to come up with 15,000 dollars! Student loan? that would mean I would be 18,000 dollars in debt, but is it worth it?
So basically for a living i would work in a spa or doctors office helping people with hair, and skin. Another plus.. i need "models" so that i can practice!! (that would be you friends out there)
I am thinking about Elase Academy. It is about 5 minutes away from my house. I could go to school from 9 to 3 and then work at night. This is feeling pretty good!! Also, 98% of their students pass the state test, and 86% end up finding jobs.
Yes, No?
hmm... what do you guys think?
Time to fast and pray, i guess!!
cya!

whoa nelly..

Okay i really can't stop laughing.. it's pathetic really, but i need to share :)
I work at Famous Footwear (as most of you know) and as people leave and didn't get anything i like to say "hey, thanks for dropping by:" or "thanks for coming in"
Well, tonight, as i was working at the Jordan Landing location, I told this lady, "thanks for dropping by!" She then turned around gave me a disgusted look... then looked away, thought for a second and then turned back and said, "GET BETTER SHOES!" she then proceeded to walk out the door.
I wish i had a camera so I could have seen my face..

Had i taken a picture this is what it would have looked like

I walked to the sales associate and said, "welp, that was a first!" and i continued to laugh until i got home..
who does this lady think she is... Okay ma'am i will call the CEO right now and let them know that we need to carry better shoes. Thank you dearest lady with a weird jacket.. you made my day!! (and i am serious, she really did make my day.. so funny)

So this is what it feels like...

I have been givin a Dear Jane...
If that is even possible...
Jeron was feeling distracted, prayed to get focused... and the answer was sketch me out.

Trust the lord right?

..i miss him..

My Best Friend!!

I want to go hiking again!

It has been SIX WHOLE MONTHS!!! it is insane... it is kinda scary not knowing what is going to happen, but i guess that is what faith is for.
He recently was transfered, to a new area where he has to start fresh. I guess it has been a while since there has been missionaries in that area. So he is contacting ALL day long. He is super busy (which is super good) I am proud of him.
He is so strong.. not getting discouraged and such.
He is awesome!
Anywho.. enough bragging... how are you all?

Here is the quote of the day: "Obedience-That which god will never take by force-He will accept freely given, and he will then return to you freedom that you can hardly dream of-the freedom to feel and to know, the freedom to do, and the freedom to be at least a thousand fold more than we offer him. Strangely enough the key to freedom is obedience." -Boyd K. Packer

Its funny to think that so many people (my older brothers) think living the gospel is going to hold them back... not true.
the end.

Poor Me...

Okay, I admit I have lived a full life of awesome eyesight.
My sophomore year I had a non-stop headache, so my mom decided that I should get my vision checked. I got reading glasses that i wore like five times and then stopped.
So, tonight, i opened my computer to Facebook. (which if you haven't seen the movie Social Network, I totally recommend it.. good show) I was trying to focus my eyes, and couldn't. Everything was pretty blurry.
...is it true? is my sight getting worse? NOOOOO!! I liked the whole no glasses life style.
So.. i found my reading glasses... they are helping a lot but i still feel like my eyes are blurry... time for an eye check up?
... I am sad...
This is me "blue"

Then i realized... why be sad about something so lame?
So i am Happy, And kinda cute in these glasses?
I kinda want to go and get new frames!! Maybe something like my sisters? Her's are cute!
Look how long my hair is!! YAY!!
I also like my Chin... very defined.. ha ha
Goodnight!

MAY START READING AGAIN HERE!!!
So, after starting my diet i have lost 15 pounds!! YAY!!! i feel so so so good!! I have another 2 1/2 weeks left of it, and i am feeling soo good! (I already said that) I have never eaten so much broccoli in my life, and actually really enjoy it!! After my diet i plan on cutting portions, and not eating sooo many carbs. I also plan on running! I really want to run a marathon one day oh how fun it would be!! It is going to be hard work and dedication. I can do it!!
Onto the next update.. Boys :)
first of.. i am going to my Communications class, because the amount of attractive boys in that class. There is one, but there is a possibility that he is gay... sketchy... maybe not... hmm... tough decision!
One, sat by me today, and we chatted. Maybe something stirring? we will see! But his name is Greg..is that wierd?
There are a few others... and they haven't quite made an impact on me yet!!
Ha ha super fun class!! I am also learning (don't worry) i am finding a lot of things very interesting (boys) nah it's about Conflict Management, i am finding that a lot of it will help me in Retail!

I love watching Bones at night! i have 3 season to catch up on!
One day i hope to do a giveaway on my blog... i just want to be cool like the other bloggers!!
OH YA!!
My review on Sketcher Shape-ups!!
I wore them to work for five hours. I got home and my feet, ankles (huge accomplishment), knees, teeth, hair and back didn't hurt at all!! My legs didn't hurt... and i can't wait to start running in them!! They are suppose to increase your calorie burn by 13.5%!! Oh and also activate you leg muscles anywhere from 70 to 90%
They are super comfortable, and look awful, but I will wear them, and love them!
The end!
These are the Running ones, they cost $130, I got them for FREE!!!

New Single Ward!

Went to the New Eastridge Singles Ward today and what can i say I LOVED IT!!
Have you ever been to a meeting where EVERYTHING the speaker said related to you? No joke, i went to every class and was inspired by something. This is when you know that is right.
I went all by myself too. An accomplishment in of itself. I never do ANYTHING by myself. I felt strong and proud and excited to see what lies ahead.
Obviously a good start!
Next goal.. Get my brother Spencer to come with me! We will see..

Re-Evaluating.

(this post is for my Sister to read and help me out:))
Okay.. if i had to pick one word for myself right now it would have to be.. Indecisive.
It all began with his letter. Jeron sent me a letter explaining his 5 year plan. I just wanted to get an idea of what he wanted to do with his life.
Well.. he is leaning toward Border Patrol or a Police Officer. DANGEROUS!! that is all i can think of. I would move anywhere in the world to be with the man of my dreams but why something so dangerous? Am i suppose to raise a family where there are drug lords all over? It is dangerous... very dangerous. I have lost too many people in my life.
Now of course, i am not telling him any of this. He is doing the lords work, and i am trying to not distract him. It is just making me rethink things.
I love him. I would be soooo very happy with him. I would even move away from my family for him to make him happy.
I have decided that i need to live my life during these 1.5 years. (it has already been 6 months YAY) I can't be afraid of hurting someone else to make myself happy. If Mr. Right comes around i don't want to turn him down because i could make it with Jeron. I have lived these past 6 months afraid to flirt. Afraid that i was going to start liking someone else. I was really afraid of hurting peoples feelings. and really really afraid that i was going to hurt myself. It's life. If Jeron and I don't work out then so be it... there is something greater in store for me!
So introducing.. the NEW Stephanie Stohel. I am going to a singles ward, and going to be looking so fine. I am going to laugh and flirt. I will be cautious though. My heart is very big, and i don't want it to fall into the wrong hands. With a little of Faith and prayer i will end up where i am suppose to. I will make mistakes. I have accepted that Jeron is maturing, and i need to build myself up and learn for myself and grow before i am ready to move onto the next stage of my life.. (marriage) 
Jen what are your thoughts?
Well.. anyone.. what are your thoughts?

Spring 2011 at SLCC!

So wanna hear my schedule starting on January 10th? Here it is
  • Computer Essentials-online
  • Conflict Management and Diversity- Tues & Thurs @ 4:00 pm
  • Intro. To Early Childhood Education-online
  • Intro. To Early Childhood Education Lab- Friday @ 9:00 am
  • Marriage and Family Relations-online
  • Elementry Physics(help me!) - online
I wasn't able to be in Drawing II.. but that is okay. These classes will keep me busy enough! I am excited to get started!! I also help my aunt out at her preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursday from 9:00 am to about 3:00 pm. Then i work at Famous Footwear on Mon, Wed, Fri, nights and Saturday during the day.

After my diet, i plan on working out at 10:00 at night, or early in the morning.
If you never see me.. this is why :)

Dieting...

Dieting is never fun. Who wants to cut out sugars and oils? not me!!!
Well.. i never really had to. All through high school i was working out 3 to 4 hours a day and had to eat to keep myself going.
Now, a year and a half out of high school i have become the heavest i have been in my whole life. I don't want to be over weight anymore. (i know i am not that bad) I have always been the bigger friend and i am about to change that.
My mom has been on the HCG diet for quite sometime and is looking awesome.
So.. she asked if i wanted to do it, i said yes and here i am 3 days in and.. wanting it to be over.
I don't want to give up though. I want to prove to myself that i have self control.
HCG basically resets your metabolism. You take drops of HCG and put it under your tongue and let it absorb into your blood. HCG also breaks up the fat in your body. With a VERY VERY STRICT diet of 500 calories you lose one pound a day.
Sounds scary right? i went online and researched it, and it really is safe. HCG is a pregnancy hormone. Everyone has it in them. it is safe for men to use. My sister was worried about it affecting my infertility in the future. It won't. HCG is actually a fertility drug. A lot of women use it to get pregnant.
It's hard. I eat when i am bored... i am bored and want to snack. ugh... but i am going to do this! i am going to fit into my jeans!! i am going to have more energy!
it is going to be hard.
i can't just eat spinach for the rest of the month (YUCK)
i may be sick of apples in a week.
i am excited though.

So you may ask "what are you going to do when you are done?"
this diet is ment to kick of weight loss. give me a new start. it is kinda like a body cleanse.
I am doing this and then getting a gym membership, and make myself healthy.
I will continue to tell you all my Journey.
it should be interesting.
