Oh My Heck!

Hi loyal readers!

I really don't have much of an update. I'm still unemployed but looking for a job. I'm just ready to scream. Its not as fun as you would think. I've been unemployed since October and all I really do is nothing. If I get bored for to long I go crazy and I'm going crazy already! But, I know that the Lord is blessing me. I'll I have to do is what the Lord wants me to do and everything will be taken care of.

My brother and his family came this last Saturday and is spending time with us. Cannon is soooo cute!! I just adore that guy. I want to pinch his cheeks but, only a crazy person would do that. lol!! Aeris and Jerry went to church today and loved it! I'm just happy that they loved nursery. But Jerry gets in his tatrums and got in one today. He was crying so it made Cannon cry. It was sooo crazy!

I did go to church today but, I only went to Sacrement. Its the first and only time I'll do that of course but it was different. My mom freaked out and told me that she thought that I'm a bit different since I don't have a job. So because of my mood I had to miss out on the rest. Then I didn't go to choir and or enrichment. I do admit that I've been a little anti-social. But, most of my friends want to do something but it does cost. I'm trying to save my money for things that I will need. (even though I have unemployment) Its a bit hard but I'm living through it. Pretty soon my mom will think that I'll be starting to be inactive. Well my opinion anyway. I'm a good person and I do go to church. Its was my first and only time. I always do what I need to do.

Friday I got my hair dyed again. Its a darker red. I'll post pictures up later. But, as soon as my mom found out she freaked out on me. She told me that its going to ruin my hair. Its not like I do it everyday you know. I had to get it done and I couldn't afford to go to Trudie my hairstylist. Its $40 and I'm trying to be careful. So, this was cheaper. Plus it was good to see how my friends were doing.

So that's about it for now. Hopefully next time I blog it will be about getting a job. One only hopes.

Good News!!!

Hey everyone!!

Good news, I got a letter already and they are going to give me unemployment. They are going to start from the week I was discharged. Its going to be 24 weeks of unemployment. My dad calucated it and I'll be getting unemployment until March. Perfect, because I'm searching and that will give me time. I will be able to get my car and my bills paid off. Whoooo!!

Also, today I went to a job interview. Here's to hoping! But, I dunno if I will get the job or not.

I know that the Lord has been blessing me all my life and continues to bless me. Just the other day I was reading my patricartical blessing and it helped me. I've been having a hard time sleeping at night. But with reading my blessing and having my dad give me a father's blessing; I just lost hope I guess. But the Lord is on my side and will continue to be on my side no matter what. I'll let you know when I get a job. I feel that this has been a learning experience and also that things will be turning out for the better soon.

Well, here's the update.

The Hearing

Today was the hearing over the phone. I've been getting a bit nervous about it. Just the rehashing and all. My parents of course were their for me. They kept on saying that the company wouldn't be on the call. But as soon as I called the judge got my old boss on the phone. Boy was I just in a bad mood. Grrrrrrrrr!!!! Well, it turns out that we said what needed to be said and now its in the judge's hand. Well more the Lord's hand. Plan B if I don't get unemployment is work for the goverment on a temp basis. My aunt works with the goverment and said that they have some temp basis jobs. So, I'm going to try that out so, at least I will keep my car. Cuz, that's the last thing I wanna lose. That is if unemployement doesn't go through. One is hoping. I will of course keep on trying to find a simple job.

Which gets me to another point. I wanna try to study photography and become a photographer. That's my first thought. But we will see right?!? Well, I gotta run but as soon as I find out what the verdit is I will let you know. Wish me the best of luck and pray for me.

Job Update

Okay, I am proud to say that I finally got my car back. Yay!! However, I am still unemployed. I'm trying everything with unemployment. I just got a packet from the unemployment center with the date of my hearing over the phone. Though its exciting to finally get a a date for the hearing its a bit nerve racking. I am scared that first the company I work for will be listening to everything I say. Then I am nervous that I won't get the money. But, I am hoping that I get a job before the hearing, well also that the judge I get will be very understandable and will go in my favor. But, I am learning still. I guess the whole hey I am a ld person (learning disable) is something the judge will need to hear. Yes, for those of you that don't know I am a LD person. I have been my whole life. But, I don't want that to define who I am. We all have our disablities right?!? I really don't let my disablity bother me because I want people to know me for who I am as a person not a person that has a disablity all her life. It was really hard for me for a while to even feel comfortable saying that I have one. I mean all the struggles I had when I was a kid. Then senior year of high school to have a learning disable counsler say to my mom and myself that I wasn't worthy of going to college because of my disablity. My mother and I had to fight againist that counsler just so I could go to college.

I love to say I can instead of I can't. One of the reasons why is because to many people when I was younger said that I couldn't do something. That I can't achieve anything. I have been wanting everyone that believes that to know that I can do something if I put my mind to it. My family of course know this and so do a few people. I don't want to say hey if you want to be my friend I just thought I would tell you upfront that I am a LD person. I feel the same way when people meet my family. Yeah, I am adopted but I don't broadcast it. Just like I don't broadcast to the world that I am a learning disable person. Its like those commercials say I want to be defined as a person not a person of a disablity.

Then after this whole ordeal with the uemployment should I metion that I am a ld person? I guess I can say you have to explain it to me differently cuz, I learn differently.

I look at this struggle as a learning experience though. Its been a blessing in disguise. Because of it I can look at my options. I want to go back to college. I've been thinking what though. I can't do anything about it though. Its something I can think about when I get a job and had the job more than a year. I guess I can stop paying my school loans and just get back into school but have a full time job with benefits. Also I am sick. I got the cold. Stupid I know.

Sorry for the ranting and raving. I just had to get this off my chest. Now that I have it off my chest I don't have to hash it out over and over again. I have said my peace. As soon as I get a job I will let you all know and you know what I am going to do? Besides celebrate and serve others and go Christmas shopping?!? I will probaly been doing my own happy dance. Okay, now being realistic. I will probaly go and want to celebrate me getting a job. Oh to joy on getting a job!

Not so Exciting news

Hey loyal readers!

So, I've been on a rollercoaster recently. Let's just say it started the week of my birthday. On that tuesday my work let me go. So, I'm currently unemployed. But, I'm working on getting another job however. I'm still a little shaken about the whole thing. I also got into a car accident that same week. The day before my birthday. So, I'm without a car at the moment. But, I will get my car back soon. My birthday was one of the best days of the week though. I have friends and family that made the day one of the best days. I do have a interview tomorrow though. That's all I really have at the moment. I will keep you posted as soon as I get a job. Just pray for me.

Life is crazy!

Hey Guys!

So its the middle of October already. Gesh, how time flies by. I still have my calling though I'm thinking about asking to get released and get a new calling. I have been really busy with work. Its really funny though. The last 3 fridays of this month I get off. This friday I have a training class that I am required to go to. Its an all day thing. Then, next friday is my birthday and my boss demanded that I have my birthday off. Awesome boss if you ask me. Then the last friday is Halloween and I get it off so I can prepare for my Halloween party. If you ask me I've been really busy with my life.

Last saturday I did go on a date. Yes, its true. Even someone like me went on a date. lol! It was an awesome date I have to say so myself. I didn't feel pressured at all. I got to know my friend Aaron a little more. However, there is nothing that you need to get all excited about. He's just a friend. I was helping my friends out. I do have to point out that he got brownie points for opening the door for me everytime. He wouldn't let me out of the car because he wanted to open the door. Then after an event was done he opened my door. All I can say is that he is going to make any girl lucky. Just not me. If only guys could think that and open doors for their dates. That would be so awesome! Oh what was really funny was after the date I was locked out of my house! I had to call my parents to let me in. What's funny about it is that the garage door was giving me troubles so Aaron's friend Nate tried to get in and got locked in. I had to wait for my mom to let me in then open the garage door to let him out. It was really funny if I say so myself.

I do feel a little relaxed however recently. Yesterday I went to church and of course felt the spirit. Not only that but I finally got the courage to talk to this guy I am interested in. I feel really shy around guys who I find attractive. Its been a horrible habit since I can remember. But, its really not a big deal anymore. I can just talk to the guy now without worrying.

I did go to choir practice yesterday and had to sing a solo in a way. I use to be really good at singing and was even excited when I had a chance to sing a solo. But now a days, I get all shy about it. Once again, me being shy. I'm trying to get out of it. I really am. But I did survive. I did have a little help though from my friend Heather. Thank goodness for friends right?!?

Well, nothing more has happened yet....my family got pictures taken. I will post some of those up. Well, okay that's about it for now.

Pictures of when we made chocolates. Yummy!

September

Hi Everyone!!

September has flown by really fast. I cannot believe that its going to be October. EEEEKKKK! lol!! Not much as happened with me. My brother Alex came into town with my sister-in-law Trisa and of course my nephew Cannon. He's soooo cute! So some of my time was with my family of course. We did get family pictures done. Which was a zoo, considering all of my nieces and nephews. Gesh, my family is growing! lol!!

I finally used some of my vacation time and made delicious chocolates. Yes, I said chocolates. My awesome grandma makes chocolates and showed me how to make them. Well, my sisters-in-laws McKenzie and Trisa also. I do have pictures of them making chocolates.

I also got my hair done. Very cute if I say so myself. My mom loves my hair long yet, I love it short. So, when I was getting my hair done, my hairstylist told me that my mother wants me to keep it long. However, when I told her to cut it short it looked so cute! Take that mother. hehehehehehehehe!!

Then I have been working at my job a year. Man, I am really excited about that. Whooo!! I really love my job. I'm not lieing.

I am drama free. Yes, I said drama free. Nothing to bad to worry about. Well, that's about it for the month of September!

Flashbacks

So, I went to church yesterday and noticed that my best friend had red hair. Well, even though she looks awesome with her red hair it wasn't suppose to be red. She has blonde hair naturally and she just wanted to get highlights. Well, not to laugh at what happened. She went to the salon and a chinese lady did her hair. The thing is that her english was broken. So she was hard to understand. Well, as my best friend was telling me this story (I was worried yet laughing sort of) it reminded me of when I got my nails done by a lady that didn't speak english well either. I asked for a french pedicure and got fake nails. I didn't want fake nails. I love the nails that I have. I usually just have them paint my nails. All I could think was dejvu. lol!!!!! Sorry it just came to mind. hehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!

Okay, besides telling you this story I have good news! I finally have a FHE partner! Yay!!!! I'm very excited about that.

Also, a while back I was talking to another best friend of mine. I was really frustrated with guys at the time and telling her about how frustrated I was. She mentioned this friend that I was friends with. I'm not that close nor do I hang out with him. But she was asking me how this guy friend was. I had to tell her that I really don't see him. She had to remind me its my guy friend that while he was on his mission he sent me a picture of a bug. Yeah, that's another story that I'm not telling. Anywho, she wanted me to see how he was doing by just randomly showing up at his house. (Yeah, like I would do that. Can I say creepy?!?) Well, on saturday I went to the store to get some nail polish and a desert for my mom and myself. Well, I saw him. All, I can say I was in my pjs and my glasses. EEEEEKKKK! So I didn't talk to him. Okay, I haven't seen him for a long time. The last thing I want is to be in glasses and my pjs at the store. So, I tried to hurry but I think he noticed me. I was too embarrsed. Maybe because I thought he was attractive a long time ago. Well when he was on a mission so it made it a bit diffcult for me. lol!!
