new job??

So I got a new job...Its with verizon in the orem mall...to be honest...Its not the greatest job in the world, but hey, it pays well so im happy with that. Plus if they like me and hire me to be more than just a greeter then they will pay for all my schooling which is way cool. Also I put my contract up for sale and looking for a new place. And I fear that I will be homeless for a while. Why do I put myself in these situations? heh. Well thats all I wanted to write. Until next time....

Better things!

So today was Garits and my "day-o-fun" It started off pretty normal. I took my car up to my bro's place since my oil leak was still pretty bad. He took a look at it and decided that I needed to take it into a mechanic. So he looked up a good one (hes the greatest!) so I took my car and they said that they could fix not only my oil leak but also my anti-freeze leak that ive had since I got the car for pretty cheap. I was SO happy! Me and garit then went and ate the GREATEST food dennys has ever served and ran around town for a bit. When I got my car back we headed up to slc for the DAY-O-FUN! We played at the planetarium, walked around the mall, at some chocolate and at California pizza and just acted stupid for a while. Then we went to see the blue man groups "how to be a mega star" tour. That I got tickets to a while ago for our anniversary. Ive Sean the blue man before so I thought it was going to be more for Garit then me. I was so wrong! I can honestly say that this was the BEST concert ive ever been to. And we were pretty close too. On a side not: I HATE DRINKING AND SMOKING SO MUCH! All in all it was a GREAT day! And now I need to bring myself back to reality and go back to my crappy job......dangit....X a billion/3 ................................................................billion HA! You didn't think I was going to say billion!

My troubles!

Well recently I've been kind of down. A lot has been going on and for a while there I thought things just went from bad to worse. Things at work were getting pretty bad. Two of my managers quite this past week and everything is going to change. There is talk of the old children's supervisor coming back and I fear that I will be demoted. And on top of that, last week I lost my pay check :s

A couple weeks ago my mother broke her leg. Last Sunday I went to visit her and lets just say it wasn't the best experience.....

A week or so ago my car started making a weird clicking noise. I put some oil in it and the clicking went away. Two days later the clicking noise was back so I checked the oil. IT WAS BONE DRY! So it looks as though I had a major leak somewhere. And I need to get new plates asap, so I also need to get a new windshield (there's a HUGE crack down the driver side)


BUT! Things are starting to look up. Yesterday my sweet boyfriend crawled under my car to see what was going on. He figured that the filter was leaking so we went and spent 50 bucks on a new filter, pan, and oil and he fixed it. Your amazing boyfriend!! Now I think my car has a chance to live! A weird thing happened while he was working on my car. I was eating carls junior (sorry dad!) and he had oil all over his hands so I asked if he needed a towel and he said yes so I ran towards my apt. Right when I turned the corner I heard screeching tired and a crashing noise... As a dumby as I am I still went into my apt and grabbed a towel. As I came back out to my car there was a terrible wreck. There was a car ON TOP of another car! (Garit will probably have pictures up soon) all I could do is stare in disbelief. It was literally right infront of where I parked my car. They blocked off the road and even the 2 news helicopter was flying over head and soon there was a crowd around my car of onlookers...After a while I got kind of annoyed because people just kept coming. Seriously, there were vans of Latino family's getting out and just standing there. This one little boy was trying to rip down one of our apartments flags! Garit went back to fixing my car
and after I moved my car and we went inside to get a jug to put my old oil in. An hour later we came back outside and the road was still blocked off! Thankfully no one was seriously hurt.

Oh yeah

And I got my hair highlighted and cut...check it out:

Some news..

So today I recieved an email from my aunt Trisha (I was living in north carolina with her and my uncle) So here are a couple of things that are going on:
Uncle joel has lung cancer, It spread to his liver and a couple of lymph nodes. I dont know this man very well. I spent christmas with and aunt sue a couple years ago. He seams really nice..When a family member is going threw something terrible like this you cant help but feel it. Even if you dont know them that well.
Grandpa has undergone some testing to see if he is a candidate for a pacemaker. I didnt even know his health was bad, but I guess thats my fault for not keeping in touch.
All night I have been thinking about this email, my family that I spent a year and a half with and now I dont talk to at all. How can I lose touch so easily with ppl I connected with and have helped me more than almost anyone? I feel terrible. Im going to try to keep in contact, I really am. Well its 1:30 so I should be getting to bed....

p.s. If anyone knows of a non retal job, let me know....The seach continues!!

So I decided....

That I was going to try writing in this a lot more! Well its Sunday and conference and yet again I have to head out to work soon. I this is my 8th or 9th Sunday in a row that I have to work. Needless to say IM looking for a better job. I have a couple of leads but nothing to concrete. The good thing was, I didn't have to work yesterday so I got to watch the first 2 sessions with garit. It was really nice. Me and him went out with a couple of his friends and their girlfriends on Friday..It was really fun. We went to Zapas? Zupas? Whatever...It was this soup and panini place that was soooooo good and then we went to see lady in the water, despite what critics say, it was a REALLY good movie. Anyways...IM late for work. Sorry I couldn't write more...

Just a little catch up

So its been a while since I posted something so I thought id tell you all a couple of things that are happening..

If some of you don't know, I work up in American fork at kohls as a sales supervisor. I am over the children's department that consists of boys,girls, infant and toddler apparel. Well, lately there has been rumors that they are splitting my department in half, which I think is a good thing. I would be over boys and girls and someone else would be over infant/toddler. And even though I would have to help them it would mean less stress over the holiday season. Hopefully ill still be full time. At the same time though I am currently in the market for a new job. I need something that I can have a regular schedule and possibly weekends off (I can only dream!) The main reason is because I rarely see a day off that falls on a Sunday. Second,when I go back to school I would have to go back to being just a regular associate and go back to making 7.50 and hour and part time. There is no way that I could make rent since the rates went up for the winter.

Any who...Things have been pretty boring around here. Im starting to want to go on a trip again or start up a fun sport like snow boarding or skiing, but I doubt I would really do anything cool. If anyone has ideas, let me know...

Im still dating Garit. As far as I know things are going pretty good with that ;)

associate shop is this weekend...And I think I may have to pass on the things I put on hold for myself. Its starting to get cold and I know I need to eventually get some warmer clothes but it will have to wait until another time...Its funny, im more broke now that I got my raise then I was when I was making 7.50...funny how that works....

Recovery

So heres a picture taken a couple days after sugary. I ended up not puffing up that much (the pineapple trick ;) and recovery wasn't that bad. Although my bottom ones are still in pain I would like to report that my top stitches have fallen out and are pretty much fully healed. Sorry it took to long to post again, the picture was on garits work computer....

In less than 24 hours...

So tomorrow at 9:15 I will be put under the knife!!! Thats right im going into surgery.... its not that bad im just getting my wisdom teeth out FINALLY, but im still tarrified...Ive never had surgery before...I dont really know what to expect. Everyone I talk to that has had theirs out tell me different things. Some say I will be better by the next day, some say ill need all the time I took off (4 days) Knowing me im going to be a complete baby. Atleast the only person that has to deal with me is my amazing boyfriend, garit, who has taken work off so he can take care of me all day tomorrow. Ill try to take a nice fat face pic of myself and put it up...

Time changes everything...

Today I got a phone call from an old friend, Tiffany Turley....Ive been friends with her from the begining of high school..Her family and I were as so close, but after the years things happen and people drift apart. Both of us moved to different states, phone numbers changed and changed again. Yet we alway were able to keep in touch. Even though we are totally different people from when we were friends I think that its just nice to hear from someone that knew you so well once. So she called me today and told me that she was going to have her baby tomorrow.Its going to be a little girl. I pray that everything will go smoothly...

Lava hot springs

So this last friday Garit and I went over to idaho with Claudia (an old high school friend) and her husband, Jacob. It was really nice seeing Claudia again. The last time I saw her was when I was a bridesmaid at her wedding in feb. It was really nice catching up with her and getting out of utah county, even if it was just for a night. We got in pretty late and wanted to get some sleep so we found a camping ground, set up and tried to get some rest. Well this was very hard to do considering not only was it right by the highway but also a train track. The next day we went to some hot springs and went tubing down the river. All in all it was a pretty enjoyable time. I even left with a little souvenir....
