Delights,Decisions, and Dissapointment

So, to start out with for Valentines Day Pete sent me the most gorgeous flowers!! I was so surprised and soooo happy! I have never had a guy send me flowers before. And they had gerbera daisies which are my favorite flower. I'll post a picture soon! I sent him a box with a rice pack and a ice pack that i made and also some butterfingers and a bag of hugs and kisses...since its Valentines Day.
Ok...it finally happened....they blocked face book at my work!! Why and who would do such a cruel thing? That is unacceptable!!!! I intend to protest!!!! Also I had an interview for a different position in the company in the travel department. The manager in that department said he wanted me and he wanted me to start Monday. But my supervisor in the department where I am at now said that I can't go....I'm kind of confused... They advertise in-house hiring and it shouldn't be a big deal, but they are making it one. I think if I want to change positions its not a big deal. So long story short, I don't think I can have the position until they hire more people to replace me...which means they would need to hire about three people to cover everything that I do. But the silly thing is they already have two people to cover my reception job. So, until they hire more people I can't move....SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!
Why is it that every time I try to move up in the company someone has to get in my way?!?!?! Also, the computer that I bought from my company isn't working!!!! AHHHH!!!!! WHY OH WHY IS EVERYTHING AGAINST ME??!!!??! And they haven't fixed it yet and its been two weeks, and its the second time I have had to bring it in... So, I've actually had to bring it in and have it fixed more than I have actually used it! LAME SAUCE!!!
OK....number 53 comment....If I don't get this job then I am going to apply to a salon in American Fork that pays hourly so that I can save up for when I move to Boston...which I am hoping and praying works out. At this point I don't see how it won't work out. I'm going out there in four weeks!!!!!!! I'm soooooo freakin exited!!!! There is so much that I want to do when I go out there. But most of all I want to spend time with Pete. Things are going really well fyi!!! I like him a lot!!! This will be a great experience for me. And an adventure. I've never flown by myself before...and gone a vacation by myself before either! I haven't even been on a road trip! What's up with that??? Apparently, I don't get out very much....LOL
So...other than that, things are going well. I'm healthy, I have a new calling in my ward. I'm on the compassionate service committee. I'm actually really exited!! I've always wanted this calling! I think it would be so much fun to get to know other girls in the ward and reach out to them and encourage them to come to activities and see if they need anything. I also got my car paid off last month so no more car payment!! That is pretty exiting!! well, that's about it for now... I'm done venting....

A new year

Wow, so much has happened in the past month!!!! Pete came down for my birthday!! It was so much fun! He made me breakfast for my birthday, then I showed him the Draper and Oquirrh Mountain Temples, then he took me to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. The next day we went to lunch at Tocanno's because I had a free meal coupon for my birthday, then went bowling that night with some of his friends. Then later that night we pulled the boys around on a snowboard tied to the back of a Jetta around Provo(not on main roads). That was super fun! I got some of that on video. Then on Saturday we spent the day up in salt lake walking around temple square and seeing this is the place monument, had lunch and dinner at gate way, saw the Joseph smith movie and enjoyed the view from the top of the building, then went hot tubing. It was so much fun. I really like him a lot. He is such a great guy and i miss him tons. I like everything about him and I enjoy learning new things each day. He makes me want to be a better person in so many ways. I love that he has goals and that he is so strong in the church and has such a strong testimony. He would do anything for anyone. He knows what he wants and knows how to get it...aka...ME!!! LOL He is an awesome cook and plays the piano so much better than I do..but he can't even read music. He just hears it and then plays...that is so cool. I can't wait to go out there in a couple months and see him. I love it out there. I love the history and the culture. Its so different than here in happy valley.
Well, That's about all...oh wait!! I got a mini promotion at my job. I am the new part time receptionist and I love it! I work 8-5 now. I don't know what I'm going to do about the salon. I think I'll just do clients at home or their homes. Ok..I'm done now...

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!!
