My job

So I'm now more than half way through my third week of work, and I finally have a desk!! It's my very own. And it's pretty big. I have my own computer and my own email and my own cubicle. Now you may not thinking me getting a cubicle is exciting, but actually it is very exciting. For two weeks straight I didn't have anywhere to put my stuff. I just floated. But not anymore, I've taken over my job and I have a desk. I have some sense of why I'm there and what I'm doing. This is great news for me. I've got a lot of responsibility but I am so excited. I'm excited to be working again. To have something to do, to feel like I'm actually doing something again. To make money again. It's going to be fantastic.

A job...at last!!!!

It happened folks. It's about time, and it happened. After two and a half long months of application filling out, resume turning in and interviews I got a job. Yay! Now if you know me at all, and have talked to me in the past three months you know how much of a stress this has been for me. And today after I found out, this immediate feeling of relief washed over me. I haven't felt like that is some time. Life has been so crazy, I mean when it rains, it pours, and finally something good seems to be working out for me. Now I hope other aspects of my life follow. That would make me oh so happy. I guess as usual, only time will tell. So I'll be working at Seven Peaks as an Office Manager, it seems like it's going to be an awesome job. I'm really really excited about it. That's all I've got for now. I'll update again soon.

Wishin' and Waitin'

There seem to be a lot of things in life that people are wishing and waiting for. And I realize that I am no different than everyone else. I too am constantly wishing and waiting for things in my life. Sometimes I sit around waiting and things just don't happen like that. Effort needs to be put in. Life just doesn't give you what you want. You don't just get the things that you wish for. Life isn't that easy. The good things in life need to be worked for. And I've recently discovered that that is something I need to do a little more of. Really work for the things that I want. I've had this, things will happen if they are going to happen attitude recently, and I need to change that. And do everything that I can to make my wishes come to reality. That's my thought for the night. Now I'm off to bed.

Still no job

Everyday I wake up and I sit at my computer and job search. And yet still nothing has come of my hours and hours of job searching. I'm still looking and still hoping. That's all.

Update

So it has been way too long since my last blog so here is a quick update on life. I moved into a different apartment complex for the first time in three years, and I love it. Not only are my roommates 3 of the most amazing people in the world, but there is also a washer and dryer in my apartment. Wow what a difference that makes. A couple of weeks ago I got together with my friends from home and we had a memory night, mostly meaning that we did something that we always did in high school. After a fantastic dinner at IHOP, we went to the good old Spanish 8 theater and watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. And it was fantastic. At least I really enjoyed it.
I also graduated in a sense. I walked in August, and am now taking my final class. So I will officially have my BS in December.
I'm currently unemployed after working for 3 years on campus. They kick you out once you graduate. And am actively looking for a job. I'm still waiting to hear back on a couple of interviews...I hope that happens the beginning of this next week, because I am going crazy beyond all means not having anything to do during the day.
Well that's my life in a nutshell. I'm going to be better about writing on here. A couple times a week hopefully I've got lots that I've wanted to blog about for some time and just haven't done it. So I am making a commitment to myself to get it done.

My Weekend

So after a good trip to Georgia and a lot of lost sleep and stress I had the opportunity to go camping with some great friends.   We went up to my friend Carie's special camping spot that she has been going to with her family for many a year.  We were on the very top of this moun'ain, and yes it is moun'ain and not mountain, why?  Because I'm from Utah, so I have to say things like Utahans.  We went up Friday after work, set up the massive Merrill Hotel tent, and then went to check out Carie's favorite spot.  (We go to see all her favorites, it was really neat.) It was absolutely gorgeous, we were really on the top of the world.  We could see everything, it was a very humbling experience.  

We went back and started up a fire and made some pig biscuits.  Now if you are wondering what pig biscuits are, you probably know them as pigs in a blanket, there is a long story behind that.  We sat around the fire for over an hour cooking these things, and it was so much fun.  While Lisa was tending to the fire and breaking wood with her foot, she flipped a piece of wood into the fire right on top of Melanie's food.  And Mel just sat there.  It was hilarious.  Probably one of those had to be there moments.  Mel said that she would have rather had the wood hit her than her food.  Anyway, we then had smores, and a strange banana boat thing.   All in all a good around the fire time, we then sang some songs to the guitar and just chilled.   Bed time came, however not for me, I haven't been sleeping well and this was no change.  Carie and I stayed up partially waiting to hear from her dad and brother and partially because we just couldn't sleep.  

 It was a beautiful night, the stars were gorgeous and we had a really good talk about life and such.  At about 3, Mel came coughing out of the tent and after a few minutes came and sat with us and talked with us the rest of the night.   Carie and Mel tended the fire all night and we got a number of holes in our clothes and blankets.  Mel rolled in the dirt, and well it was good.  We got a little sleep, not much.  But that is okay.  As we watched the stars disappear and the sky grow lighter, Lisa eventually joined us.  Nicole and Meagan got some more sleep, and then joined us for breakfast.   We just kind of chilled for some time  Mel went off somewhere, Meagan, Nicole and Lisa went for a walk, and Carie and I played card game(of which she didn't actually tell me all the rules, so although I should have won, I didn't).

Anyway, Carie's dad and brother let us use their 4-wheelers, and we went out Lisa and me on one, and Mel and Carie on the other.  We had a really good time.  It was actually a big stress reliever for me, not sure why, but it was.  Anyway, after that people took naps, I tried to study, we just chillaxed.  It was well amazing.  

Mostly the whole weekend was just amazing.  And I'm so grateful Carie shared this place with us, and that these other 4 girls came along and we just had a good time.  I'm not gonna lie, I would love to camp every weekend.  That would be fantastic, but since that isn't going to happen, I'll just have to get some people to want to go at least once more this summer.  

Overall, I love the moun'ains, I love the outdoors.  I want to spend the rest of my life outside.   I love it, and suggest that everyone goes out camping at least once this summer.  Just do it.  

Cabbage Patch Hospital

So I've been in Georgia for the past 5 days.  I came out to help my sister pack up and move back to Utah, and we've had some time to do some fun stuff.  One thing that will be engraved in my mind forever, was our two trips to the Cabbage Patch Hospital(also known as Babyland).  The first one was because we wanted to go, the second time was because all our pictures from the first day disappeared, and we needed pictures to share with everyone else.  

This experience was an awesome one.  There were incubators, school children, and even a live birth.  The second time we went we even got to see twins born, Jimmy James Paul and Emily Grace by the mother cabbages under the magic crystal tree.  

Wow, that was amazing.  You all not only need to go there, but you should ask me about it.  We took over a hundred pictures and have a great video of the live birth.  Okay back to packing, but I hadn't posted in a while so I thought I should.
