Viva La Mexico!

I really should be sleeping right now but I am so excited! In like 4 days I will be on my way to California with my friends Jessie and Jen from work at the courthouse in Provo! We are going to see wicked Saturday night in LA!!!!!! I am so excited we got amazing seats for really good prices! Then sometime during the weekend Debbie is driving down from Fresno to meet up with us and we are going on a crusie to Mexico! Our ship leaves San Diego on Monday afternoon and we will be gone until Saturday morning! I can not even begin to explain my excitness levels!!!! I am excited to get out of Provo for a few days and burn in the Mexican Sun!!!!!! ;) I am going well prepared to try and prevent sunburns and to treat them since it is almost impossible to keep from burning! Case in point, I went to a park a couple weeks ago to read a book after church, I was there for 45 mins and was pretty red for a few days!! So I am pretty much screwed hahaha WHATEVER I am going to Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOWZERS

So the last week or so has been a whirlwind! I was offered a position on a Judges team in American Fork but my supervisor wanted a commitment that I would not leave when an opening came in Provo. Well actually she wanted a commitment I would stay until I leave for Law School next August. I spent a few agonizing days trying to figure out what to do. I am not sure I have prayed that long at night in a very long time! I went in to her office late last week and said although I was flattered and would love to do it, I could not commit to anything! To my suprise she said I could still train and that we would address the transfer thing when it became an issue. So that brings us to today! I was able to sit in on court this morning and learn a little about the process. Then this afternoon I was updating minutes from court and trying to not mess up too much!! Tomorrow is day 2 of the court training! YIKES What were they thinking? I am not smart enough for this!!!!

More Positive Out Look

I have realized lately that I need to be more positive about work and life in general! So in an effort to do this I decided to make a list of all the things I am grateful for! Here is what I have come up with in no particular order!
1. My family who listens to me cry and loves me no matter what!
2. My membership in Church, General Conference was so good last weekend!
3. Friends, Who even when I am grouchy are there for me and assure me everything will be ok!
4. My Job, I know I always talk about how much I hate things, BUT I am really grateful for the things I am learning and the connections I am making with Co-workers and others.
5. My roommates, They really are amazing!!
6. Comp Time, I love that I am able to take time off and relax!! I am going on a cruise to Mexico in a few weeks and even get to see Wicked while I am out there!
7. My cell phone ;) I know this sounds dumb but I don't know what I would do with out the ability to text and talk to people! Sometimes I screen calls, but for the most part I am really excited to talk to the people I love!
8. Scrapbooking, I recently made a goal to finish 20pgs before the Scrapbook Expo next Weekend! I have 5 more to go and I WILL MAKE IT!!
9. Email, especially at work it allows me to vent frustrations and be encouraged all at the same time!
10. Temples, I love the peace I feel just pulling in the parking lot! I have driven up to Mt. Timp on lunch a few different times and just sat and pondered.
This Is just a small part of the list! Thanks to everyone who has supported me and loved me and listened to me complain I am going to try and be better! Promise!
