My Life at the Moment...

Yes.

I do realize it's been [months] since

I've written a new post.

Honestly, life has just been so hectic lately

I haven't had the time.

School is crazy,

work is as busy as ever,

and life continues do dish out a fair amount

of stress each day.

But honestly,

I wouldn't have my life any other way right now.

Life is so good.

I am B L E S S E D

Sometimes I get handed situations and

I really don't know what to do with them.

Things haven't exactly gone as planned lately.

Life is hard, but I know my Heavenly Father loves me.

I know that he has a bigger plan for me than I see for myself.

And I know that I can't do everything.

But with His help, I can do the things He needs me to.

So I'm sort of trying to figure out what those things are.

I sort of have a war within myself right now.

I think I'm going to head down the PA path

as far as school goes.

I've been trying to make up my mind, 

and I think this is the right decision...

but there's another thing that's been pulling on me too.

I know I've got some time to think about it.

Actually... if I'm being specific, I've

got about a year and a half to decide.

Do with that what you will. (:

But honestly, even in the chaos of things,

I can't help but be reminded of how blessed I am.

I have SO MUCH to be thankful for.

And I know that even though I make mistakes,

even though I can't figure out what I'm doing half the time,

and even though I'm confused as ever when I get tossed a "no,"

from the Lord,

I know He's really not telling me "no."

He's telling me that He loves me.

That He hasn't forgotten me.

And that He sees so much more than I do.

I love the Gospel.

I love my family.

I love my friends.

And I'm gonna take everything it as it comes. (:

JOY!

New story!

...well, actually a few new stories!

So, in my last post I was talking about my interview with Kolob.

Well... that day was quite the day!

Right after [and I mean right after] I posted

that, I got another call.

From Emerald Pointe Assisted Living Center!

They wanted an interview, too!

I was so excited!

They wanted me to come in that same day, so I did.

The guy who interviewed me told me to call him

first thing in the morning to find out if they wanted to hire me or not.

So I did! My interview with Kolob was the next day as well. 

I was so anxious, and I just wanted it to be the next day!

I went to work at Convergys, and what happens?

I get ANOTHER call for an interview from Applebee's!

I'm just thinking to myself... what is going on here?

Three calls in one day when I've been waiting months?

No complaints, though. (: I guess the Lord just wanted to

send a bunch of blessings at once.

So the next morning I call the guy from Emerald Pointe...

I'M HIRED!!!

I was so thrilled! I did a happy dance around my apartment,

and then I figured I'd better go to my interview at Kolob too,

just in case.

So I went to the interview, and she hired me on the spot!

Uhhh....

WOO HOO!

I have TWO JOBS!

Wait a minute... I have two jobs.

Uh-oh.

I guess it's time to pick?

So I prayed, weighed my options, and for some reason

I felt a pull to the job at Emerald Pointe.

I had heard nothing but wonderful things about it,

but Kolob was pulling on me too.

It was a very stressful day.

Finally, I made my decision.

I am the newest CNA at...

EMERALD POINTE!

I couldn't be more happy! (:

It was hard to tell Kolob I had accepted another job,

because they were so accepting of me,

and I know it would have been a blast to work there, too!

But can I just say... I've been to work four times already...

and I L O V E my job!

I love the people who live there,

and I love the people I work with!

I love my bosses!

I feel so blessed right now!

So many good things are happening in my life!

I couldn't be happier with my job and I am so

thankful to my Heavenly Father for providing

me with so much happiness and so many wonderful opportunities!

Prayers really do get answered.

Maybe not in our own time,

but the Lord knows what He's doing.

He's got our best interests in mind,

and He ALWAYS blesses us when we are obedient.

Love life! <3

Life.

And so it goes.

There's so much going on lately!

And at the same time nothing is happening haha.

It's not necessarily bad things.

Just lots of changes.

This week already feels like it's been foreverrrr long.

And it's only Tuesday lol.

BUT! On the plus side, I have an interview

at Kolob Regional Care and Rehab tomorrow!!

Oh my gosh.

Everyone cross your fingers for me!

I will be SO happy if I get this job!

And it will be good because I'll be working as a CNA.

Which needs to happen since my license pretty much expires

next month if I don't use it...

whoopsie.

And getting away from Convergys would be a DREAM COME TRUE!

Anyway, on to other points of interest.

My family is going through a lot of changes right now.

My mom is moving up north today.

I wish I could be there to help her.

It's really bittersweet.

It's going to be lots different not having

her there when I go home.

Or my little brothers.

But hopefully this will be a good change for her.

Also, my dad is getting married next month.

I'm very excited for him. (:

I hope it works out.

It will be lots different, but if he's happy then so am I. (:

Aside from that, a lot of really crazy

random things happen to me haha.

For instance, I'm kinda dumb and I

locked my keys in my car two night ago.

Who does that?

I intentionally left them in there,

but I habitually lock my door when I get out.

So there I am, locked out,

and all my buddies are laughing at me.

My spare keys are ten miles away,

so while one of my friends is trying to break into my

car, my other friend takes me to get my spare.

And did he break in before we got back?

He sure did. (:

He somehow fished my keys out of the car

without rolling down the window.

He's magic.

Haha.

Anyway, today I feel like it's Thursday for some reason.

Although it's obviously not,

but I thought yesterday was Tuesday too.

So tomorrow will probably be Sunday.
That's really pretty much all I got for now. I am so blessed!

Forever and Ever...

My song for today. (:

Forever and ever.
Forever and ever.

Forever and ever.

Home is where you are,
Kind of tragic that I left your side.
Left your side, left your side.
I recall a smile, a kiss.
When the sun did rise,
By your side, I was by your side.
I gotta tell you how it feels now.

You're my air, when I feel I can't breathe.
Catching me, when I'm tripping over my feet.
We'll get through this together.
You're my smile, when I just want to cry.
Make it all better as you kiss my sad eyes.
I'm giving you my forever and ever.

Forever and ever.
Forever and ever.
(Forever and ever.)

The hug, the kiss, the love.
All the magic that we're feeling inside,
Deep inside, deep inside.
It's hard to find the words,
The courage is somewhere inside,
Deep inside, deep inside.
Gotta tell you how it feels now,
I'm ready to fall.

You're my air, when I feel I can't breathe.
Catching me, when I'm tripping over my feet.
We'll get through this together.
You're my smile, when I just want to cry.
Make it all better as you kiss my sad eyes.
I'm giving you my forever and ever.

Forever and ever.
Forever and ever.
(Forever and ever.)

Sat down thought about it today,
If I only had a breath what would I want to say?
Something sweet, something real, something real sweet.
Thought real hard.
And only one thing,
(Only one thing.)
Only one thing,
(Only one thing.)
Oh only one thing, came to me.

You're my air, when I feel I can't breathe.
Catching me, when I'm tripping over my feet.
We'll get through this together.
You're my smile, when I just want to cry.
Make it all better as you kiss my sad eyes.
I'm giving you my forever.

You're my air, when I feel I can't breathe.
(Forever and ever.)
Catching me, when I'm tripping over my feet.
We'll get through this together.
(Forever and ever.)
You're my smile, when I just want to cry.
(Forever and ever.)
Make it all better as you kiss my sad eyes.
(Forever and ever.)
I'm giving you my forever and ever.

 

-He is We <3

 

73 Days!!! =D

What do I feel?

I'm feeling so happy today!

It's Monday so I got an email from Justin,

and a couple days ago THIS

precious thing showed up at my front door...
 .

Okay, so it didn't show up by magic.

I ordered if off eBay and it KINDAAAA

cost me a pretty penny.

But I was literally going insane.

I don't know how I've gone the past ten months without it.

Seriously.

And I'm going to be getting my grandma's piano

soon as well!

Ahh. 

Life is going to be such sweet,

blissful, musical happiness! (;

(okay, you caught me, this is slightly laced with sarcasm.)

Also, today Justin has 80 days left!

Is that number significant?

No.

But it still feels nice to look at and know

that's only like two and a half months. (:

I have all these things to be thankful for.

And I really am thankful!

I had a great day yesterday.

I was able to hang out with some

friends from my ward,

and it just made for a good day.

The only thing that keeps bringing me down

is the fact that I STILL

work at Convergys.

Well, at least I think I do.

There is always the slightest possibility they

are going to fire me today...

haha just kidding.

But really, I've applied

at other places.

And it would be GRAND

if one of them would at least

call me back.

I applied a day-care center.

OOOOH.

I want that job so bad!!

It would make me so happy!

[Fingers crossed they call soon!]

But I guess I'll go to work today.

And it'll drag on and on just like it always does.

Okay, I'm finished being negative.

Have a spectacular day! (:

Dear Subway...

Please hire me.

I'll be the bestest little sandwich artist

you ever did see!

I promiseeee! (:

Call me first thing in the morning when you get this message.

Thank you!

Virtue.

I love this.
