LIFE!

Wow so alot has gone on thats for sure!! Well at the end of June I had gotten laid off of my job because of financial problems of the company, yes I know sad!! I had been with that job for just over a year and I had the most amazing boss, so I was really sad to leave it. So a few months before that I had a job offer from one of my clients and I had turned him down at the time, but after that happened on friday I called my client, had an interview on monday and had the job with everything I needed on tuesday!! I swear sometimes I feel as though the Lord watches out for you in ways that you never thoguht were for you. My car starting giving me major problems that week and the gas prices were going up but at least I'm not commuting 25 minutes each day everyday anymore. So I started this new job at Vision Security in customer service and believe it or not I love it, but maybe thats because I get to work with people now, because before it was me in the front and then my boss in the back....so YAY I get my socialness back :) Well anyways theres my job situation!!

Ok so my sweet sister Terri gave birth to seriously the most beautiful baby boy Teave Kaze on June 28 which he gets to share it with my brother in law Jason :) That night was really perfect timing, I had gone out with some friends to a midnight movie but there wasn't a showing (which we didn't know) so we went bowling instead. Well I had got home about 1:30 am and not even 10 minutes later I get the text that they were on their way to the hospital and I was seriously out of the house in less than 30 seconds. So I ran and got my mom at her house and we headed up to the hospital. It was a really neat experience, my awesome cousin Dawn came in the middle of the night to watch all 8 kids so all my sisters, I, and my mom could all be their for the birth. We had moments of scare when his little heart beat would drop, the cord was wrapped around his neck and he was just plain stubborn :) he must take after his favorite auntie!! But when the midwife said possible forcepts.....Terri sure pushed with more effort than she ever had before and we know she had some help to get that baby out!! Well he has been a fun little blessing to have around and little Silver and Mia just love their new baby brother!!!

So I just recently got the opportunity to play Mommy for about 5 days and it was crazy for sure!!! So let me tell you about my best friend Keri Reed!! I met Keri almost 10 years ago when she was pregnant with her 4th baby TJ. She was in my ward growing up and she needed a babysitter one night, so her mom in law Jane (who was my young womans leader) called and asked if I could tend for her. Now remember I was about 12 and when Keri and I met, we were instant friends from the beginning and still are the best of friends ever!!! About 3 years ago she started me on week and a half mommy trainings lol, her and her husband went to Hawaii a couple of times and both times she had me watch her kids, Keslie, Bryson, Kenzie, TJ, and Emily were my kids for about 10 days. So about a month ago I had a friend getting married down in St. George and I was planning on going down there. Well with out Keri knowing this I get this random text from her to see if I could watch her #6 baby Aysha for about 5 days from friday to wednesday morning. I will say that it was perfect timing but I sure was going to have alot on my plate!! So my friend Mary drove down with me on thursday night, mary stayed with her grandpa and I went over to the Reeds. So they left on friday and I had Aysha with me that day to take to the wedding, I felt so bad because we were outside a bit and let me tell you it was BLAZING HOT!!!! But my sweet little girl took it like a champ, the rest of the day was a little difficult because she had no idea what was going on and why I had her (she is only about 9 months) and sad to say but she doesn't know me like how all the other kids know me. So after the reception that night we drove back up to orem, and then on saturday I/we went up to my family reunion that was about 2 hours away. At this point I felt so bad for aysha because all we had done was drive, and be outside and let alone I was still a stranger :( well as time passed things got better for her once we settled down with my family and be it became more of a familiar setting for her (a family setting). So saturday we just played with my family at our cabin up at Nordic Valley or as now called Wolf Creek Mountain, and then drove back that evening. So monday comes and Mary was a sweetheart and was able to watch her while I went to work. Then on tuesday I had off and got to spend the day with her, we had some fun and she was good for me, but it was interesting because at this point I really did feel like a single mom....so thank heavens I'm not one lol.....Then on wednesday morning I met up with one of Keri's friends so she could watch her for the rest of the day until they came to get her. I will honestly say that I really did learn alot from that experience and am extremely grateful for it, so thank you Keri for giving me that opportunity!! Another thing I thought that was really interesting was a week later I went to the lake with them and believe it or not she still went to me...hehe and I thought she would have been done with me! Comes to show that even when you don't know someone and they take care of you and love you, they will recognize it even at such a young age. So again thank you Keri for giving me the opportunity to take care of and love your little girl!!!

One quite other exciteing and sad thing that happened!! So I'm on the activities committee in my singles ward and I planned this great activity! It was this amazing slip and slide down this hill about 100 feet long, and it was absolutely spectacular....UNTIL.....one of the counselors in my bishopric tried to go down...well it was his second time and he went to go and he slipped....ya go from there he completely snapped his ankle and it was flopping!!!! My car was the closest and so I ran to go get it, in the mean the guys carried him out and we put him in my car. So I and my friend Tresa in our muddy swimsuits and all grassed up from sliding down the slip and slide ran him down to the ER. We got there and got him set up just in time for his wife to show up so that was good. So the worst part is that he broke his leg in 3 different spots and had to get sururgy the next day with 6 months recovery :( It makes me want to like sit and read books for my next activity haha!!! But other than that it was really fun and we did have a good time! It was one of those activities where you get to act like a kid and its all good, we went and used the little $3 pool tubes and slid down the side with them. So here is a little clipse of what an event it was!!

Wow so as times passes and school has now started....YAY!!!! I'm only taking 2 classes right now but thats ok because it will result in one day me finishing!!!

YAYAYAY!!!! well ok for me I feel that way :D ok so that was a really long post and I'm sorry but I had to do a little updating in my life.....oh and still no boy, but its good because honestly if there was he would feel lonely because I would have no time for him haha!!
