Sad News

So, I'm so sorry that I have been slacking on the blog. So much has happened that's good and bad. I'm still unemployed but I'm on unemployment benefits still until October I think so that's good! But, I'm not going to give up on finding a job though. I'm going to get one even if it kills me. Also, I did go and see my brother Alex graduate from med school and visited his family for a week. Which was really good. Congrats Alex, can't wait to see you guys in Memphis! Now, I'm going to tell ya something but make it fast due to I don't want to make this a big deal. Because first its bad news and recent bad news but also just in case someone reads it I don't want this person to be thinking that I haven't progressed. But I have an ex now. Yeah, I'm single again. He's the one that broke it off. I'm dealing with it of course to the best of my ability. I have progressed though. Sometimes its hard but I have good and bad days. But my friends are a big support right now. Of course they don't want to see me upset, I think its cuz they are just a little overprotective over me. But that's a good thing. I don't regret being in that relationship cuz I did learn a lot. Who knows what the future will bring. I might find a rich doctor and marry him. haha!! That or this might be an opportunity to work on myself and see what happens you know. There is a lot in store for me so who knows what will happen. But I do know that the Lord is blessing me. But yeah, I'm trying to remain optimstic and who knows what the Lord will give me. Maybe another opportunity with my ex maybe even an opportunity with someone else. Anywho, that's about it. I'll post about St. Louis later. I actually have things to do. :)

Grateful!!

So I still don't have a job. My unemployment is almost up so I've been on pins and needles hoping to get a job. But, since losing my job I've still been on an emotional rollercoaster. But in a strange way I'm grateful for this trial in my life. It has taught me a lot about myself and it has given me an opportunity to grow. Growing spiritually and growing more in tuned with myself. If this really didn't happen I wouldn't of grown as much as I have. I do have those moments where I struggle and I seem to not be me. I do get emotional and I have learned how after an interview not to get excited. Because I know that there is someone who is better off with the position than me because of the experiences. I go to the temple once a week to help a lot and will continue to go once I have a job. I help others that have it worse than I do. I know that the Lord has blessed me with so much and continues to bless me. If it wasn't for my family and friends and the church I wouldn't know where to turn.

One of the big things in my life that the Lord has blessed me with recently is an amazing boyfriend. He's been there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. I can be myself around him and know that he still likes me even if I've done something stupid. He gets upset when I'm upset. I don't know how else to describe him. One thing that comes to mind is that he treats me like a daughter of God. I do miss him when we aren't together but I like him more and more when I'm with him. He's not perfect and has his things I don't like as much. But no matter what we are both there for each other. I don't know how else to describe my boyfriend other than that.

I know that I've said that I will get a job and I will. Hopefully before unemployement ends. My mom keeps on being herself and worries a little to much. I've tried not to worry so much and look at the positive. I've been trying to see what the Lord wants me to learn still and I've tried to learn whatever the Lord needs me to learn. I know that we are all given challenges here that the Lord wants us to face and grow from. He would never give us a trial that we can't handle. I guess there is still more to learn from the Lord. But I just feel that this is one of the big trials in my life that I personally need to learn. I hope and pray to have a job soon though. I somewhat feel that there is a job coming soon to for me.

I know that I've been really thinking about going back to college and further my education. I was thinking either something in the travel industry or even criminal law. I dunno, maybe something in business. I was thinking of getting my generals done at the U and see where things go. Maybe even study travel up at the U. Right now I'm actually leaning towards travel but with me not earning money its really hard to go back to school. But I am bound and determined to go back to school when the timing is right.

Just today after I heard I didn't get a position I just realized one thing that the Lord wants me to do. That is going back to college. Which I'm planning on doing. Maybe the Lord will give me a job that not only will I be able to grow in and learn but I can go part time to school. That I can keep my job and finances in order. I've actually set a goal once I do have a job and I'm going to stick with it. Once I do get a job once a month I'm going to sit down with my dad and discuss my finances with him. Even before I spend my paycheck. I'm going to make sure that I have enough money to do whatever I need to do. It will be tight but I can handle it.

Before I end this blog please pray for me. Pray that I can get a job and not worry about paying my bills and getting out of debt. Pray for my family. They need it! :)

Good News!!

Hey Guys!

Don't be deceived by the heading. I'm still unfortunately looking for a job. :( The reason why I wrote this is for another reason. Now some of you might know that I've been seeing someone and we decided that we would be official. So officially I'm seeing someone. :) That's about it. :)

Draper Temple

So, I had an opportunity to volunteer at the Draper Temple's open house. It was such an awesome experience! I don't regret volunteering. I was inside the temple outside one of the ordination rooms and it was so wonderful! I did have to stand the whole entire time I was volunteering. But it was just fine. I saw my grandparents and an aunt and uncle. I still recommend that you go see the Draper Temple though if you have an opportunity. Its sooo beautiful!

Draper Temple

My best friend Ashley and I coming back from seeing the Draper Temple

So, I've already been to the Draper open house. I feel so blessed that we have another temple in Utah first and formost! Secondly, I'm so excited to be volunteering on President's Day! If you haven't seen the temple I recommend that you do. Its so beautiful on the inside and out! When I went to the open house I wanted to take a picture of the outside of the temple but, I can't quite yet. I was a bit sad. :( The temple is soooo beautiful that I can't wait to go to do sealings and sessions in the temple. I still love the Jordan River temple though. The Jordan River temple has special meaning to me. Its the temple that I was sealed to my family and also the temple I received my endowments. Like I said before I can't wait until President's Day when I get to volunteer! Seeing the Draper temple was not just exciting to see but also a peaceful feeling to me. When I went I didn't dress in my Sunday best cuz I heard that its okay if I wore nice pants. I did but when I went with my best friend she was wearing a skirt and all the other women there were wearing a skirt. I felt a little out of the loop! lol!!

Well, I'll keep ya posted on everything!

January Update

So its February and I haven't said much about January. lol!! I'm still looking for a job. Sad but true. But hopefully before unemployment ruins out I can get a job. Then since telling you all about my goal things have changed for the better. Yes, I'm myself all the way around but, I'm still growing. I've been busy with my calling in my single's ward and other things in my own life. Well that's about it. Well for January at least. :)

My new goal

So I've been really thinking about things that I can accomplish just to keep myself productive through the hard and even the easy times. I want to be a better person. So, I've been thinking and one thing that keeps coming up to me is service. Its a big thing but its something that in my life I've been doing when I feel like its necessary. Its always necessary though. I mean even the small acts of service will help others. So what is something that will help me even grow is helping others. I'm going to dedicate my time and serving others.

Also, something that I've been thinking about that is also very important is going to the temple often. I mean I'm endowed and I should plan a day out of the week to the temple. I also know that its something very important to my life. I don't take being endowed lightly. I still hold that day as one of the best days of my life. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

I know that the Lord is blessing me throughout my life and continues to. Just everything that he's been blessing me I'm truly grateful for. Since losing this job I've learned tons of things that I've been really needing to learn. Hopefully I'll get a job soon. lol!! I would be so grateful!! But it will happen in the Lord's time. So instead of complaining and getting all upset I'm going to use the time I have to improving myself.

My family's been doing great also. My brother Alex is going into his residency which I'm quite happy about! Then also all my nieces and nephews are doing awesome! Just the other day on the news I heard about a shooting near Kearns High and of course it freaked me out. I have a niece who attends that school so I went into auntie mode and called my brother to see if everything is okay with her. Of course she's okay. She got the rest of the day off. What's pretty nice for me is that she is easily teased. So, I can tease her from time to time. But my brother does it all the time. Hey, she'll learn to just tease back and not have it bother her. Then also the twins are going to be in preschool pretty soon. Man, I'm such a proud auntie! One thing that I'm a bit concerned with and trying to be okay with is my older nephew is engaged and he's only 18 and the girl is 17. But, my whole family is concerned for them both. If they do get married then I'll have a nephew married before me. I just think that my nephew is making the biggest mistake in his life. That he should enjoy his young years and just have fun. But its his life. I have no say in that matter. But an aunt can be concerned right?!? lol!!

Well, that's about it. I'll keep you all informed just in case something good happens. Hopefully I can write and say I got a job! lol!!

Family Times

I am still umemployed yet I am still looking.

My brother, sister-in-law and nephew came and stayed over the holidays. I got to spoil my nephew like crazy!! I got a ton of Christmas presents including homemade chocolates. Yum!! It was really good to see my brother and his family. What is awesome is that he's going to be done with medical school and he's going to be in his residency. I'll have to call him a doctor. Man, I don't know if I can call my brother a doctor. To me he'll always be a goober. lol!!

New Year's eve I spent time with a few of my friends. We went to watch the U basketball game then went to party at the insitute. It was a lot of fun! Meeting new people. Helping a friend out with a guy. Then I went to Trisha's place for a little bit then I went home to sleep.

That's about it!

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.
