Flowers and Swiss Rolls

I've been having a rough couple of days and I was just about at my breaking point today. But, around lunch time when I was at work, I saw someone walking in with flowers. When she got closer, I realized it was Sarah, Martha's sister. She gave me flowers and swiss rolls from Martha!!! All I can say it totally took me by surprise and made my day. I really needed that. No one has ever gotten me flowers before,or had them delivered! That was extra special. Thank you Martha for all that you do and for being such a great friend and always being there for me. Its great to know who your true friends are, even if they are 2000 miles away.
The thing with the swiss rolls is we were having a previous conversation and she asked me if I was at her house relaxing, what I would be eating at that time and I told her swiss rolls, ice cream and pizza. I thought that was very sneaky! lol I'm so greatful for friendship and love from others. I'm extreemly greatful that I was able to serve in the Relief Society Presidency with Martha and get to know her and become great friends. You never know how you can brighten someone's day by doing simple acts of kindness. Its great to know that someone cares about you. She was my angel looking out for me today.
I'm also trying to find a job to move out there, so please pray for me that it will work out. I love the east coast! It is so pretty out there! I especially love Maine. If you have ever been to the east coast, you would know what i'm talking about. There is so much character in the architecture and in the cities and the people. I think it is much prettier than the west coast, but also very different. I think it would be a great opportunity for me to experience new things, new places and new people.

New year, new adventures, new life

Well, lets see what is new....Christmas was super fun. I got what I wanted, which was a crock pot and a battery powered screw driver. Two very different things but I really wanted them. You always need them and you can find great uses for each of them. I also got some old movies that I grew up on, a gas card, potato masher, cook books,recipe cards, and of course candy. Dad got me a flying monkey this year for our toy. Its so funny! I spent new years with my friend Tiffany and Rachelle and her husband up in Bountiful. We had a lot of fun drinking Martinellis Cider. LOL I'm still looking for a better paying job. It looks like I'm not moving at the moment. I'll be owning my car this month free and clear! I'm so exited! NO more debt!! That is such a nice feeling! Pete is coming in about two weeks. I'm super exited! We will see how things end up going. But either way, we will be great friends. I'll try to upload pictures from Christmas asap. I really need to get better at doing that. Oh ya, I got a new lap top!! I love it! It works so much better and faster! It was badly needed.
I have a few new years resolutions, but they are not the typical. The main ones that I will mention are make someone smile every day, go to the temple at least once a month. I figure I can't go to wrong with those. If I try to do the whole loose 15 pounds I don't think it will happen. So I will say get more tone because muscle weighs more than fat so a number isn't to important. Another one is be optimistic for the future and look for the good in others. The rest of my new years resolutions are personal but I'm really hoping things work out.

Pray for me please!!!!

I applied for a reception job yesterday and got an email this morning wanting to set up an interview! I'm so exited!!!!! I really hope I get this job, because that would mean I don't have to move home and I will be making almost double what I make now!!! Please pray for me!!! You have no idea what that would mean if I was able to get it. Thank you!!!

Thanksgiving was so much fun! It was so fun to have all of the family together. I don't think that we have had everyone together in a few years. We also did family pictures which was nice because we haven't done that in about six years!! So long ago. Our family has gotten so big since then. I can't wait to one day start a family of my own. Last night I got to hold a friends baby who was only 5lbs.!!! So CUTE and tiny!!! I really got baby hungry. I love this time of year!!
Also, when I went to Boston, I met a guy out there who is a friend of Martha's. So, we talk almost every day and he is coming out to visit me for my birthday! I'm so exited!!!!! His name is Peter, but I call him Pete. He is cute, super nice and soooo funny!! He just bought me a web cam so I can now talk to him, and see him. We are talking through Skype, but my computer doesn't have everything. I can see and hear him, but he can't see or hear me! I think its funny, but I guess he was getting impatient and frustrated so he just bought me one! lol He seems like a really good guy. Nothing is official yet dating wise. We are just taking things slow and getting to know each other. I'm exited for him to see his Christmas present. I'm pretty sure he will love it!
I'm glad I know what I'm getting everyone this year! No stress = more fun!! Things are going well in my new ward. They are all nice people. Still looking for another job. And that about raps it up!!

I finally uploaded a current picture of me! After how long of having a blog! I know..I know... you think I would have figured it out by now! sheesh!

ME!!!

Catch Up Time

Wow, so much has happened in the past little while. I am now single and loving it! I'm so grateful for my family and friends who stood by me and helped me. I'm so grateful for the gospel and spirit and how it has helped me...even though I am to nice and stubborn at times. I don't like to hurt other peoples feelings which can usually get me in a pickle because I don't stand up for myself. I'm learning this.......again... ugh!! Sometimes I even frustrate myself because you think that I would have learned by now. Well, that is what experiences are for....even though they are hard.

Well, I moved into my new house and it is so fun. This is totally the party house. My roommates are the social spotlight of the ward and we have people over at least 4 times a week if not more and have game night at my house every Sunday. Its way fun, but also is really frustrating at times because I can hear everything that is going on because we have hollow walls and wood floors which are so thin I can here a conversation from down stairs in my room! Solution..... ear plugs.... and they are pink!! lol

I just got back from Boston on Tuesday. It was so much fun! It was the shortest vacation ever! I wish I could go back. I would love to live there some day. I went to visit my friend Martha with my friend Lindsey and her cousin Carli. We went to Salem, RI, did the freedom trail, saw the USS constitution, Mayflower, cliff walk in RI, and of course Boston common, and the gardens. I even got to go to Cheers! Its now a restaurant with a kids menu.. but still a bar. lol I know weird huh... but still cool. I took so many pictures but I don't have a cable to my computer, so I can't put on any until I get one or find someone who has one...anyone.. anyone?

I am now an aunt again for the 24th time! Jeni had little Brennen who is so cute... of course the day I left.... so mad!! I can't wait to go see him! I'm so exited! I just love my big family. I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope I can have a nice size family as well. I can't wait to find my man and marry in the temple for eternity and raise a family in the gospel. Get that...MY man! lol jk.

I'm now looking for a new ward as well... the guy I broke up got a job at my work while I was in Boston.....so now he is in my ward, he works right next to me, he goes to every activity. So it is almost impossible for me to move on..or him either....ugh! So frustrating!! Can you say stalker!!!..... at least that is what it seems like.

I am also now full time at my morning job with Stores Online. So now I work there 7-3 then at the Salon in American Fork from 3:30-7. Long hours and really tired feet. I need a foot massage... any offers??? Better yet a full body one would be much better! Well, any ways.. things are going well. I have my amazing family, two jobs, a place to live, my health, the gospel, a car, HG, awesome friends... life is so good! Well, this is a lot of catching up to do so I'll stop writing a novel now. I promise I will post pictures some time..hopefully sooner than later. Love you all!!
