So I'm Not a Poet

It's been half of one year since you left here.
Six more months until one full year.
After serving five great years, your time has ended.
I can't honestly say that my heart is completely mended.

You played a large role in my life.
Thanks for being there through the good times,
and also through the strife.

I will never forget the memories we've shared.
And for the countless times you showed me you cared.

To: A couple so willing, so considerate, and true.
These past 6 months have been hard--I really miss you!
I know it's especially hard for you leaving so many you love,
But please don't feel sad
For you are following God's will, my friends, BE GLAD!

God has a new plan for you--
New people to connect with, another communiy to serve.
One step closer to His kingdom, well deserved.

So keep a good attitude and please remember to smile.
If you need a friend, you have a phone you can dial.
Please know that even though we live 6 hours apart,
You will always be here.
Here in my heart.

Things I'm Thankful for--In a Nutshell

Not in any specific order.




Adelyn Rae.
My aunt--she's the one who started and never stopped bringing me to church!!
My Car. NOT the snow.
7th Heaven--my Sunday night entertainment.
My family.
The Williamsons (including Mr. & Mrs!).
Friends.
Grandpa.
My dog, Lady.
The Brobergs.

I am thankful for much more, but don't have pictures for everything!

Give thanks to the LORD...for he is GOOD.



LET THE SHOPPING BEGIN! Wal-Mart. 5a.m. Be there or be.......SMART. Sleeping.

Bummed.

Please excuse me while I pretend that I'm the only one who ever reads this blog as I let out my feelings. If you don't care to read, you can click the "x" at the top right hand corner of your computer now.
Brianna is going wedding dress shopping tomorrow and I am extremely sad and jealous that I can't be with her. Perhaps I already failed one of my duties as a maid of honor. Assisting the bride with any decisions that she might need help with, kinda thing. Instead...I'll be working. Don't get me wrong, I am glad I live apart from my friends with the fact that they are following God's will where they are at, but I am saddened (sp?) that I can't always be a part of their everyday life now.
Hopefully I will be more helpful and have convenient scheduling in the upcoming months before the wedding. If not, I think I will be even more upset. I guess that's what life is always about, right? Making sacrifices. Unfortuately, it's not always the most fun and easy thing to do.

Until next time...

There's a First for Everything!

I will sleep better tonight knowing that my vote counts

No more election commercials! Woohoo!

Been Busy

I'm not gonna lie. This past week at work has been INSANE!!! Recently, two of our employees got fired, which left only 4 afternoon staff. And when there's 3 afternoon staff working everyday, that means we had to pick up a whole lot of hours until we hire more people. This pay period I have put in over 90 hours (in two weeks)!!! That's not too normal. I still have to question why I'm considered a part time staff when I work more than 40 hours a week, which a full time person is supposed to be guaranteed. It is kind of complicated with our company. In our house alone there are only 2 full-time afternoon spots available. They are currently taken, so that leaves the part time workers that work 40 hours or more jipped a little bit. We're basically full time staff, just with a "part time" title. They don't want to have to offer benefits to too many employees, that's why there are only two full time afternooners. In a way it's a little unfair, but I am not going to complain (too late, right?). After working almost 10 or more days in a row, I finally get tomorrow off. Then I will be working for the next 8 days after that. Don't get me wrong, it gets EXTREMELY tiring when you have to work every single day, sometimes even two shifts a day lately (morning and afternoon), but I guess I will be rewarded by this next paycheck. It is going to be crazily high! Which I'm thankful for.
So if you've been trying to get ahold of me and have failed, that is why.
This is my life as of now:

Wake up.
Shower.
Eat lunch.
Go to work.
Sleep.
Wake up.
Shower.
Eat lunch.
Go to work.
Sleep.

I feel like work is an idol right now. I am spending more time at work than I am reading the Bible, going to church, and spending time with the Lord. Not good.

I knew there had to be a reason as to why I am not attending school this year! Work needs me. I know I've been complaining, but I love my job. I really really do!

Anyway....I'm going to quit rambling. I'm surprised if you made it to the end of this post.

Love you all
