Negligence in Blogging!

OK so Life is insane right now! I am trying to study for the LSAT which I am supposed to be taking in like 9days and I have been working insane hours! I am pretty sure I am spending more time at work then I am anywhere else! Lately it seems like I should just take a pillow and sleep there and then I can save on travel time! Last night I got home at like 10 and went to bed soon after just to wake up and head back to the courthouse! Don't get me wrong I love my job, and most of the people I work with, but I have moments when I miss being in school and being able to pick my class schedule and not have to worry about doing all the little work related tasks! But I wouldn't trade it for the world! I am learning a lot, and heck having some fun too! So the blog will be neglected for a little while longer and then once lsat hell is over on the 29th I will be back in business! Sorry To my friends and family who have been on the receiveing end of my lack of response to texts and phone calls give me a few days and I will be better!

The Day Has Come!

The day has finally arrived! I am offically roommates with Megan and Jerilyn! I am so excited and even though I always joked about selling my contract that would never have happened because I can not think of anyone else I would rather be roommates with nowadays! I am excited for all the fun times that we are going to have! Oh heck I am lucky to be their roommate! They are amazing!

You Have Got to Be Joking!

So today I decided that instead of driving down to Provo for church I would just go with Rachel to her singles ward up here in American Fork! Oh I am so happy I did because I am now so happy and thankful for my singles ward! First off it just didn't feel the same and then it happened! The second speaker was supposed to speak about President Monson's talk from April Conference! Instead she got up and said that she didn't have anything to add and that we should all go home and read it! Then the whopper of the day, she stated that when asked to speak she said NO because (and I quote) "I am only going to be in this ward for 2 more weeks and well I don't see the point in you getting to know me or me getting to know you and honestly I have never felt comfortable in this ward!!! I always felt like it was a popularity contest and fashion show each week, so I encourage you to read the talk!" Yep then she shared her testimony and sat down grabed her scriptures and got up and walked out! It was Awarkward! I was just happy I wasn't in the ward, because they were all pretty upset by the thing! So yes I am so happy that I get to go back to my ward next sunday! Don't know if I could handle more than One week in that ward!

It's Been To Long

It has been way too long since my last post! There is so much that has happened and life has been moving fast! I know I will miss a lot of things but I wanted to try and recap the last few weeks!
1. I am beginning to love my job. I have made friends, and am starting to get more comfortable. I even actually like answering the phone now!
2. I am now working at the front counter of the courthouse, it is SCARY but fun. I haven't had anyone arrested yet, but there has been a few close calls and people around me have!
3. I am moved out of my apartment, and I now remember why it has been so long since I last moved, I hate it! I am living with some family friends in Alpine for a few weeks and then should be moving back down to Provo!
4. Romina left for Boston last night and I am going to miss her so much! It was kinda dusty last night, but I know I will see her soon!
5. I had new employee orientation in SLC and omg I could have kicked one of the girls in the class, she was obnoxious, rude, and told me I had ADD! Heck she may be right!
6. I miss hanging out with my friends, I am going through withdrawls and miss being able to knock on Jun, Rahsae, and Emily's door! Oh good times!
7. I know there are so many other things, but I am hacked into Marissa's account at the UVSC Library and really need to run and make copies of tomorrows program for church and drop it off because I am not sure I am going to the ward tomorrow! We shall see!

Week 2 I've Made It This Far

I am already about half way through week 2 of working at the court house and I can honestly say I am suprised I have made it this far! I was ready to give up last Tuesday but after a lot of encouragement from my family and friends I am still pushing ahead. I don't give up that easily and it is going to take a lot for me to throw in the towel. I have learned a ton and am beginning to make friends at work. Now if I could just get over my fear of answering the phones, I don't want to get yelled at, swore at, and the thought of telling a person there is a warrant out for their arrest freaks me out! Heck maybe I will have to do what I did in the MTC Referral Center and act like I am taking calls! Ha ha Yeah I think That is the solution! Don't be suprised if You get a call from the Court house It is just me "Making and Answering Calls" ;)

It's My Party & I'll Cry If I Want To

I realized a few things today and was reminded of other things.
1. I have some of the greatest friends ever Always knew this but was reminded today)!!!
2. I hate interuppting people and bothering them (okay so maybe I already knew this), but sometimes it is necessary.
3. I can't learn everything in 2 days, it is going to take time
4. If I don't remember how to do something, I need to ask and make sure I get it right.
5. Practice makes perfect (or semi-perfect)
6. My family is amazing.
7. As much as I proclaim to be a wall, I sadly am running out of putty to plug the leaks.

First Day of Work

The first day of my job at the court house is over, and well I survived! I learned so much, and I am really not sure I retained it all! I guess tomorrow when I go and do it again we will see. I was officially sworn in as an Officer of the Court this morning and that was pretty exciting! I was not sure about everything earlier but as the night has gone on I have gotten more excited and I am changing my attitude! It's funny because when I interviewed I said that a lot of how you deal with repetitive assignments has to do with attitude and I am not remembering that! I am off to go read more papers and try and figure out insurance, I have no clue about what plans to choose! I am gonna need some serious help!

Some Missions Accomplished

Today was a pretty busy day, I have been puting off shopping for clothes for work, but realized this morning I had to do it. I am happy to report that I actually found decent cute clothes, that I suprisingly like. I also got the Jeep washed finally, ran a few errands, got some highlights, and then capped off the evening with dinner and a movie oh and a new pair of shoes. Rachel and I haven't hung out lately so we met for dinner at Bombay House then went to see Hairspray, it is a really good movie. It was a very productive day and I am pretty happy about all the stuff I was able to cross of the to do list! There is still more to do, but there is always another day!

Reservations For 2

Megan and I went to see No Reservations tonight, and it was pretty amazing. It is a good thing I am a wall or I might have gotten some dust in my eye. Today has been an interesting day, Carrie and Daniel left for their new home in St. George, I maybe had a mini breakdown and I got to hang out with Kirsten and go to the BYU bookstore and lunch. Overall, it was a good day.

My New Motto!

I'm a Big Kid Now... and I don't like it!!

Alright so the second interview this morning went very well. I was a little confused because at first it was like okay why do you want to work at the courthouse and then about 2minutes later it was, this is what you will be doing, you'll start here and move up, etc. So yeah after 15 minutes I left the interview with a job, a parking pass and a whole lot to think about! I start Monday at 8am and I am still kinda stunned and not sure what I was thinking. I came home this afternoon and did some extreme amount of cookie making to relieve some stress and take my mind off things! Oh man life is so crazy right now, and I am just trying to take one day at a time!

Freaking out!!

Well tomorrow morning is the second interview. I am really not sure how I feel about the entire situation. I don't want to grow up! I have had a lot of alone time recently to think about life and what is to come! But, heck it may not even matter I might not get the job in the first place! Okay I am off to bed! More to come tomorrow!

Pionner Day Swimming Fun

So Jerilyn and Megan invited me to tag along for a trip to the pool! It was so much fun, and the tube slides were even fun, though a tad scary! One of the Lifeguards was thirsty so she brought her slurpee with her to the pool and continued to drink it the entire time, oh and then it was announced that she had just gotten engaged! Oh heck of course, that would explain the very nice earrings she was wearing. Also no worries, Megan definetley brought her Visiting Teaching assignments with her to make appointments and phone calls! Yeah she is amazing! That Ladies and Gentlemen is why I will never be Relief Society President, or in a Presidency I am not the right material for that!!! It was a great day and a great beginning to the weeklong birthday celebration, because as much as I fight it, I am begining to realize that it is inevitable I am having a birthday!

"Every 60 seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." -anonymous. I am sorry for making some people upset today! I can be really dumb sometimes!

Waterpark Fun

Well since I was still in Utah Marissa invited me to go with her to Cherry Hill this afternoon. It was pretty fun! We did some floating down the lazy river and a couple trips down the waterslide. Then a little drying off in the sun, NOT sunbathing because after last weekend I learned my lesson. We applied our sunscreen first thing and I am pretty sure I put on 2 layers before we even hit the water. Funny thing is I was talking to Karl last night on my drive back to Provo and he was telling me that everyone in the family got burned at the cabin this weekend! Guess they didn't think to apply sunscreen until after they had been on the boat for a few hours! I am for sure calling Tiffy later seeing as how she made fun of me all week!

Feeling Better

I am happy to report that the sunburn has stopped hurting and the "tube rub" is starting to heal now! I am going to wear sunscreen from now on, no matter what! I am trying to figure out when I am going back to California still. Originally I was going to leave this afternoon, but after my interview on Monday I am hanging around. I kinda told them that I could start immediately, which is true, but I need to go get the rest of my stuff from home. I really hope to hear soon so that I can figure it all out. If all else fails I can either drive straight thru or get a flight to Sacramento Friday and drive home with my Dad who is there for business stuff. This is really helping with my goal of learning patience, but I still don't like it!

Painful Day and Good Day

So I am back in Utah for a little visit. I am so excited to be back and see all my friends I have really missed them! So Marissa asked me before I came back if I would go tubing with her stake from West Jordan yesterday morning. I had nothing better to do so I went along. I have no clue why but I did not apply my usual SPF5000 to my legs so the FRONT is lobster red! Sadly I can't wear shorts to prevent the rubing because it looks retarded! I am so dumb! Also who knew that from paddling with your arms that what we are now calling "Tube Rub" can occur. I don't know if my arms are ever going to be the same! Today was my 2nd Mission Presidents homecoming in Smithfield. It was so fun seeing him and his family! I realized today that it has been a long time since I got home from Indiana and had a sad Pity party for like 2mins! Tomorrow morning I have an interview at the court house for a job I am kinda freaking out about it hope that everything goes alright!

Random Happenings

1. Marela was my assistant Cookie maker! She did a great job dumping the stuff in! Sugar Free Oatmeal Craisin Cookies rock my world!

2. The highlight of a recent supermarket run was the pink butterfly cart. The picture would be better probably if I hadn't just run the cart into the curb while Tiffy was trying to get a picture! Marela is super sensitive about people laughing at her, even when they aren't.

3. The T-Shirt, everyone at work has been discussing this shirt since I got home. One of the funny old men at work wears it everyso often and I was lucky enough that he wore it while I was here!

4. The return of the Purse Man. He came around again selling his purses but this time he hung around for a long time! Mom had to run to the bank to get cash so he stuck around and visited, I was baking some cookies that afternoon and he kept following me around. It got to the point were some of my friends at work tried to convince us that we would make a cute couple! HELL NO!!! He is a nice guy but NO!!! I actually think he thought it was a great idea because when I said, I was going back to Utah and long distance relationships are not for me he grilled me about it! hahaha oh heck!!

Happy 4th of July

We celebrated 4th of July by hanging out at Karl and Lisa's and swimming, Grilling, and setting off some fireworks. It was a lot of fun and after being doused in SPF 50 I am happy to report there is not too bad of a sunburn! I learned my lesson last year, a painful message too! I love 4th of July, I love my family and the good times we share!

ER Visits

I have spent more time in Hospitals the last few days than I have in a while. On Saturday when Tiffany and I got home from a day of shopping and dinner with the kids Debbie said she had gotten a phone call from Effie and that her baby was sick. Effie had Pablo the day before we left for camp and is really worried about everything. So Debbie and I went and sat with her and the baby in the Children's Hospital ER from like Midnight and got home at like 5am. After a few hours I made them put the masks on and take pictures, heck I needed some entertainment from somewhere! Then on Monday my Grandma was taken to the hospital after she "fainted" or as my mom insists, "She DID NOT FAINT SHE DIED" oh Mom! Bless Granny's Little heart, she had no clue where she was or what happened, it was a really scary day and poor Tiffy was a reck! Luckily Granny got to come home today to enjoy the 4th with us!
