I think...

I am on a roll!! It has been over a month since I have written on my blog...There has been a lot going on and yet there hasn't. If that makes any sense at all!! LOL~ I finished my class last quarter and have started a new quarter. This time taking 2 classes which will leave me with two more classes to graduate with! So hopefully by this June I can graduate with my AA on Office Managing and find a job in that field! Granted I love the kids and the employers I work with now, but pretty soon they worn't need me, and the fact is when I started nannying I didn't think I would be at it more than a couple of years. Jan 3 of this year marked my 4 years with one of my employers and have been with my other employers for a year and a half now...(I think?!?). I love the kids because no matter how frusterated I had been with them that day I always leave with a smile or something to laugh about that they did that day and all that frusteration is gone. It lasts only for a little bit and is forgotten by the end of the day! I feel bad saying this right now but I am sooooo glad that I am not a mom right now! Don't get me wrong I love the kids that I watch and my niece and nephew! I can't get enough of them but when the weekend comes, boy am I glad I get time to myself. I know that if I was a mom I wouldn't get that time!



So what else...Thanksgiving this year I got mostly what I wanted. To relax and have a day to myself! I really honestly didn't think I would get chewed out that bad...I was wrong! LOL~ That night I ended up going and spending some time with two friends (who are brother and sister) and their family to play Volleyball!! I was REALLY happy to be playing some volleyball!!

Christmas was awesome! I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my Bro., Allison, Toph, Allison's parents and my real father was there too. It was a lot of fun to watch Topher open his gifts...or at least try and open them. It was pretty much an all day thing in taking breaks and than we went and watched (cause on thanksgiving day and christmas day growing up it was always a tradition to watch a movie at the theatres...one that I LOVED!) the new Christmas Carol. It was cute and not what I expected!

New Years I was suppose to go to the dance and got lots of calls and text messages asking me where I was. My back was killing me and I was exhausted. To the point my nose was clogging up...it is a weird thing of mine that I absolutely hate and try to fight it!! LOL~ I ended up going to Chris and Allisons and celebrating the New Year with and playing the new Mario game and than watching the fireworks go off at the Space Needle on TV. I really like the new game, although I think it is hard with more than one player...until I tried playing it with just me that is...I now think it is much easier with more than one! LOL~

Now that it is a NEW year (which is hard to write 2010 on my dates...LOL~) I have had a lot on my mind and goals that I want to see if I can accomplish instead of just saying it. I went out and bought a Wii and the Wii fit plus. I wasn't planning on doing it. I mean I have wanted one but I had gone over to my friend Leilani and Mike's and they had gotten one for christmas and it was soooo much fun and a REALLY good work out! I hadn't even been on it that long and my hips were killing me! I felt it more in the 5 min of being on that than doing it on one or two machines for an hour! I haven't done as much as I would like since I am rarely home but when I am I enjoy the workout I get. Today I spent about 30 min just playing some of the games and than 30 min where I was basically stepping on it and off, and was able to watch what I was doing or watch TV. After about 8 min of doing the steps my hips were dying and I wanted to stop but I didn't because I really do what to get into shape and I think that this is a FUN way in doing it! I think I did a good thing in buying it.

What else is been going on? Ooooo...I started going to a chiropractor. He is someone in my church and have had the opprotunity to get to know him and have come to trust him. I do notice a difference even though I do hurt with the whole realigning and adjustments and when I over do myself. So I am trying to watch my pace...it's hard though cause I like to be on the go and all of this makes it hard cause I'm not just sleepy tired but my whole body losses it's energy pretty quickly when I am always doing something and I have to fight myself to keep going (which is not good...but I can't stand to not be doing something or going somewhere...I have to keep moving or I could go insane...not really but it feels that way!! :-) )

I still have two callings. The same ones...activities and multi stake activities... Hmmmm....I think that is about it... Sorry again that I don't write as often as I probably should!! Hope everone is having a good start to their New Year, and that it will get even better!

I should be fired!

I really have sucked at writing on my blog. It's pretty sad when you haven't been on in a while and you forget your user name and password and have to think about it...It took me about an hour to think about what it was...it might have helped if I wasn't sick so I could concentrate a little better! LOL! What has been happening in the last month or so? Hmmmm....I have been out and about dating some...shocking right?! LOL~ I also helped put together a Multi-stake Turkey Bowl ranging all the way down to Olympia to Bellingham and out from the coast to Bellevue! It was a lot of fun! But definately glad it's over! It took up a lot of time! That with work, school, Church (which that was part of one of my callings) and trying to have some of a social life has made me not want to write a whole lot!!

This quarter is almost done and over with! I am really looking forward to now have to use quickbooks for a while! It has been nice to have my cousin Ester helping me...and trying to convince me to move back down to Utah!! LOL~ Maybe in a year...who knows! I have 4 more classes to take and than I can graduate! YAY!!! I will be taking 2 classes this next quarter as I don't have a HUGE activity to be planning with either the Multistake Committee that I am on or my wards activities committee.

What else can I write?! I didn't do Halloween this year as I didn't have the money, because of all the bills I have and with also adding in two car accidents! I did however finish paying off my mom with my honda civic that I totalled back in september which is one less bill. My back has been slowly but surely getting better...that is when I take it easy!! LOL~

For Thanksgiving I am going to relax and have a great day of doing homework! Fun times! LOL~ I did get invited to my real Father's (Bobby's) but I really don't like the whole Thanksgiving feast and I have lots to do here...I still haven't unpacked all the way....and I was going to go see new moon but I already saw it. I love that movie!!! Well that is about all that I can think of...hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Sometimes...

I really think the Lord is testing my patience and strength and faith! I got in another accident this afternoon. I am ok and my car still runs it just now has a dent in the back bumper. It's a long story but here is the short version. I was backing up and I made sure no one was coming (as I didn't want to ever have to get in another accident again...the first one was traumatic enough) and was almost completely out I hear and feel a loud thud. The car that hit into me doesn't bother backing up and moving slightly to go park he just keeps going and scratches the entire side of his car, and my bumper more! I told him we needed to exchange information and call the cops! We exchanged information and he left. I didn't know what to do and didn't think that I should call the cops now that the guy had left. So I left...well I learned my lesson! ALWAYS CALL THE COPS! Doesn't matter if the other person left or not....JUST DO IT! This is just one more thing that I am trying to get through! I haven't had my car even 2 months and been in my last accident! A REALLY big part of me doesn't want to drive EVER again!! But I have to! I was barely holding it together and now I am trying even harder! I feel soooooo very out of control with my emotions and everything else in my life! And that is very scary for me!

Almost a month

Wow...things seem so crazy and keeps me really busy! I spend most of my time with work, or school or even with friends. My best friend came almost a week ago and I got to spend some time with her in the two days that she was home for. It was good to see Melanie and spend what little time her and I had in our schedules! I have also been going to the temple regularly and loving every second I am there! I wish that I could spend more time there! I love it there and always feel so revived when I leave. Like I can deal with everything (for a couple hours at least after I leave).

I know that this is short but life is the same (mostly) and keeping me pretty busy! I have to leave for work here in a little bit and still have to finish getting ready! Love ya'll and hope life is going well for ya!

back to school again

So I meant to write in my last blog but I was in a bit of a hurry and most of you know by now...I have a new car. I got it on Sept 5th and I LOVE IT! It is a 2005 Dodge Neon. My fav color too!! BLUE!!! I also haven't written about the rest of my time that I spent with Nicole and Daisy while they were here. I don't have pics cause my SD card is retarted so sorry!!

Thursday: I can't totally remember but I think I just went over to Chris and Allisons and hung out there when I got off of work.

Friday: I had to finish packing some stuff and go and do a walk thru to get my keys. I had to stay at my new place to 1ish for comcast to get internet and the boring local stations. The only channel I really watch is 11 and if I am home for a show or two on channel 5....ohhhh how I miss my DVR and cable!!! (but I can't afford them anymore :-(.) After that I went over and Allison, Nicole and I went and got pedicures. We did a girls day!! Thanks Nicole and Allison!! It was REALLY fun!! And thanks Chris for babysitting!!! Ohh and that night I ended up babysitting Daisy so that Nicole could go to her High school reunion.

Saturday: MY BIRTHDAY!! I turned the big 25...I feel old!! LOL~ As my friend Jordan puts it that if I was lucky I could celebrate turning another of a quarter of a century three more times...Who knows if I want to do that though!! LOL~ It was also moving day! I was well prepared and had pretty much every thing packed so that all they needed to do was grab it and load it up to take. My sister and niece loaded up Allison's car and took it over before everyone else got there so that there would be someone there. I stayed behind to clean up a little. By the time I got to my new place there was only my car and my friend Ethnie's (who also had stayed behind to help a bit). It took ABOUT an hour to do ALL of that...It was great! Thanks EVERYONE who helped out with that. We started to unpack some and made it look somewhat nice. Later that night, Nicole, Daisy, Chris, Allison, Topher and I went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate my birthday! Allison told them that it was my birthday and they came out with two balloons and about 30 tokens. Daisy was entranced with the figures on the stage and also with a couple of the rides/picture things...Topher also was loving the figures up on stage and the tv thing....

Sunday: I went to Stake Conference and than when I got home Nicole Daisy and I went to Mulkiteo Beach and also went on my real father's boat with him and Beth. It was a lot of fun. We then headed to chris and allisons and we all headed up to Marysville to have dinner with Beth (my real dad's girlfriend) and Bobby. After dinner we headed back to C&A's place and went hot tubbin!

Than I went back to work as usual. I was able to spend time with friends throughout the week to celebrate my birthday and ended up having a BIG bash at red robin on the 18th. It was a lot of fun and was actually a bit surprised how many people showed up...I honestly thought that there might only be about 5 to 10 people but there were a lot more! Thanks! It made it really fun!! After red robin I went over to Jordans with a bunch of other people and we ended up watching the Office off of his DVR (the new one from thursday) and than played 4 on a couch. I think we played two rounds of that...the first one lasted 5 min or so and the other one like 45 min to an hour...LOL~ Than started rockband! I love playing that. I lost track of time and next thing I knew julie was telling me she needed to go home to get to bed...SORRY JULIE!! I got home at 1am and than was up at 6. I went to support Julie at the temple as she was getting her endownments out for the first time. CONGRATS!! YAY!! I ended up having to work after that. I took the 3 kids to the Seattle Aquarium! I love going there and I hope to go more often!!!

I have also been doing some more over time this week and next week. It's been nice to have some extra income coming in to pay on some bills! This sat if it is nice and NOT raining I want to take the 3 kids to the zoo...so hopefully it will be SUNNY!!!

I also started my accounting class yesterday. I am still not sure how it's going to go but I hope I will do a great job...

So far

So Nicole and Daisy flew in on Labor Day (monday) and I was able to pick them up from the airport!! After picking them up we went to the Seattle Pacific Science Center! It was a lot of fun!!

"Cheese Auntie"

Nicole and Daisy putting together a bee puzzle

"Look at me!"
Showing love to each other on this BIG chair!

Daisy looks even smaller!
Mother and Daughter!
How Precious!

After that we went to my place for a little bit and than off to Chris and Allison's to see them and Baby Toph! I have pics from my phone but it isn't working at the moment so when I get them I will post them! Hopefully!! LOL~

Annoying

So every night when I go to bed around 10 my nieghbors diagonally from me are outside by my window with their friends talking a little to loudly but they aren't out there for very long and that is fine...but this morning Iwas RUDELY awaken from the same people at 2 am with them fighting and yelling for 15 min!!!! Than finally te one that actually lives there was like lets do this inside (must have finally realized how loud they were being). But about every 20 min their door would open and close and you could hear the shouting match going on as if it were ot by my window just a tad softer...I think that finally ended around 4 am this morning and they came outside and shouted for about 10 more min before heading to their cars and leaving...I was thankful that it was finally done so I could get some sleep...but no....each time of them being outside for that length made me wide awake and took forever to fall asleep...Now it being about 6:30 in the morning I am now WIDE awake and can't get back to sleep on a SATURDAY no less!! Sorry this was a venting blog cause I am really tired but can't sleep...so frusterating....
