Remember when my sister finished esthetician school last month?
Well, yesterday was her big day: State Board Exams.
Wednesday night, my dad, sister and I headed up to Glendale.
Our mini-road trip was filled with countless musical reenactments:
Hairspray, Wicked, Pocahontas... plus a little Buble and Collait.
The weather was lovely Wednesday night
so we walked around the city
and enjoyed appetizers, drinks, dessert
and a bit of comical relief at the Cheesecake factory.
I'm pretty sure our motel (read: ghetto-fabulous collection of rooms)
was a safe-haven for all the bad guys
our dear friend JackBauer chases after.
After stopping for some yummy tea at CBDL,
we dropped Lys off for her written exam on Thursday morning.
While she tested, Dad and I headed over
to the Rose Bowl for a little joyride and a father-daughter chat.
The houses up in those hills are just absolutely beautiful.
A favorite of Lyssa's, we enjoyed a slice of New York style
pepperoni pizza in the park for lunch.
Then it was back to the State Board office for the practical exam.
Enter: my role.
When testing for your license, there's a 110 question written exam
and a 90-minute practical exam that consists of
facials, waxing, tweezing, and cosmetic application.
All in silence.
Thirty minutes later, the candidates come back to hear their results.
And although it wasn't a surprise to anyone....
SHE PASSED!
To celebrate, we went out for cupcakes at the local Crumbs bakery.
And of course we did a little bit of shopping.
We jammed to the tunes all the way home.
And stopped for burgers at one of my favorite places.
It was such a beautiful day for a daddy-daughter date.
And we're so proud that our family now has a LICENSED ESTHETICIAN!
