My Question of the Day

Do you ever feel like certain people are put into your life for

an extremely specific purpose?

(And I am not talking about spouse's, families, etc., although I do know that they count)

But I am talking more like friends, ward members, neighbors, coworkers, etc?

And sometimes it takes a couple of years for you to realize that purpose?

iPod & The Proposal

As some of you may know, I have LOTS of trouble sleeping.

Recently I have found that playing scrabble and other fun games on my iPod has been able to help me through my sleepless nights.

However,

last night, the iPod died. I have tried everything I know how in order to revive it and

there is definitely no pulse.

I am taking it into the Apple store today to see if they can do anything for me,

but I have a yucky feeling that I would have to buy a new one.

Unfortunately, that is not really in my budget at this time. Sadness.

Also, last night I watched the Proposal.

I laughed so hard I think I cried a few times. I love the sarcasm of Ryan Reynolds.

This was definitely a much needed feel good movie. Too bad I watched this before

my iPod broke.

(Please insert sad face here)

*****Just got back from the Apple store and the iPod is no longer.*******

(Insert even bigger sad face here)

Monday

I had a job interview this morning, I must say it went well. No formal offer, they would like to do a series of 4 interviews.

However, even though nothing is set or has been offered,

I feel good about myself. It has been a few weeks since I could say that.

It was a long drive for a short interview, but it was a major self esteem booster!

I feel like I am getting control of my life back.

I can do this and everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

Job Hunting

This is what Chowder does while I sit at the computer looking for jobs.

I think he has more fun than I do!

Emotional

I just spent the last hour trying to convince Jeff to stay home from his trip.

I lost, I cried, he left.

I hate that I cry every time he leaves. I'm such a girl sometimes!

And he stole the camera again before I could upload my photos. NEAT!

Thankfuls

It's only Monday and I am thankful for the following this week:

1. Jeff is back from Wyoming with some smelly Antelope

2. Decorating for Fall/Halloween

3. Feeling the spirit so strongly at Church yesterday that I feel ready for my battles ahead

4. Did I mention smelly Antelope?

5. Not being a single lady.... because he did put a ring on it

6. Connecting with old friends

7. Connecting with new friends

8. Knowing my life is in the Lord's hands.

Bring it on!! I can dig it!

Trials

So right now I have been thrown a bit of a curve in my life's road, however I know that

whatever is thrown at me next I am relieved to have this man by my side.

I am so thankful for this man.

He truly knows me and how to handle all of my everyday issues.

Even though he is off hunting Antelope in Wyoming right now, I still love him.

Granted, I would definitely rather have him here, but the time he put in before he left was priceless.

P.S..

I struggle with Anxiety and due to this new "turn" in my road, I have lost 7 pounds!!

I always like to end on a good note!

A space of my very own

Jeff and I live in a 3 bedroom house,

i bedroom we share, another is Jeff's office and the third has always been the "junk room"

And I literally mean JUNK.

Well, on Monday i finally got myself together, threw away stuff and got a free desk.

So now I have my very own room and desk and everything!!

I never imagined that having a space in my house that is all my very own would be so exciting,

but it truly is. I can blog and do whatever I want, all in my own room.

And the best part is that I get to decorate it to. So,

Pictures to come once it get it a little more cleaned up!
