“Blon Away”

8 Comments

I was literally “Blown Away” by the Blon Away Salon in Sheridan, Wy.  The owner of this salon, Laurie Dygon emailed me via facebook (how did we ever get anything done before facebook?).  The Blon Away Salon does a Pay It Forward campaign once a month for someone who needs to be pampered, and after everything we have been through it was like she read my mind that I needed some time away from my disaster and some good quality “Me” time.

Now before you peek at these pictures, please remember my house did burn down just a few days ago and I have little makeup, little hair product/tools to be working with.  With that being said, here is my very first “foil” as a gift from the Blon Away Salon in Sheridan, Wy.

These girls are amazing, they truly give back to this community and I am so blessed to have been their client for February’s Pay It Forward.

They even sent me home with a gift bag of things I would need to keep up my new look.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  You have a customer for life now, it is a blessing to have businesses like this in a community.

The Aftermath

Leave a comment

 

This is the aftermath.  We are still alive, and that is the good thing, the bad thing is that the four of us are living in a one room bunkhouse trying to not step over each other.   The insurance has been great to work with so far, we are waiting on paperwork still.  The insurance check will only be about 1/2 of what we will need to replace the house because of the age of the house.  So currently we are trying to create some more living space by making the garage into a living area as inexpensively as possible.  We are a wreck right now but we will make it through this.

Kids helping with the project to have a little more space until we can figure out a house in the summer.

 

Thank you to all who have supported us through this mess we are in.  There are still funds set up at Western Dakota Bank in Timber Lake, SD and at the Go Fund Me Site that was set up by Lacey Cooper for us.
