Unanswered Prayers

"Sometimes i thank God for unanswered prayers."
So things are looking up in my neck of the woods. I was in a tough spot for a little bit. Lost my job and everything seemed to just pile on top. But Ive started my CNA program and just got a job today. Its at Taco Bell. As much as i was not wanting to work here, i don't mind at all. Its a job, and im thankful that i was able to find one as quick as i did. Everything is starting to fall into place, and i couldn't be happier.
If your ever in a tough spot, just keep your chin up. Have faith that everything will work out. God has a plan for us, and with patience and your faith in him, will help you through trials and tribulations. Life has so much to offer, and we are all so blessed for everything that we are given. I am so thankful that Ive had my friends by my side this past couple of months. Thank you girls so much! You make my life so much easier with your support. You know who you are.
And my Mom and Dad... I wouldn't be who i am without you. Thank you for your love and support through all my dumb mistakes, and troublesome times. I love you guys with all my heart and owe you the world.
God Bless you all! :)

Happy March

Just a quick post today....
Last week was Jenny's surgery, and she is doing just fabulous! I am so grateful that i got to spend a few days at the Lassila house to help out! The surgery went smoothly and her recovery keeps getting better!
I am so happy that she had this done for her! With no complications!
On a lighter note... its almost spring!!! :) About two and a half weeks to be exact! I cant wait for spring weather!!! Spring is my second favorite season!! The weather is just right! I cant wait to wake up and hear spring birds outside of my window.
Have a lovely evening! :)

The Mystery of the Mitten

So the past week was a complete tease for us here! One day it reached up to 65!!! All of the snow melted and all you needed on was a light jacket. Well then yesterday came by... and we were told up to 3 inches.... But as i look outside today im thinking we have a bit more then three!
Im going to Jennys tonight and im going with her, her mom, and her sister katie, to jennys surgery tomorrow! We have all been anxiously awaiting this surgery! Its going to be such a good change for jenny!
Other then that not much else here! Im hoping to get some stuff done around here... catch up on my book, and some knitting before i go to jennys. Have a lovely rest of your day and stay warm!

The Incredibles and SNOW
























































So right now it is snowing like crazy out!!! And the kids have a snow day tomorrow.... so its the perfect chance to watch The Incredibles with kurtie like i promised him!
Last weekend was the best weekend... On thursday we went to see kristine and her new little bundle Jacob!! :) He is such a little peanut!! And then last weekend we went over to Zion to see Kelli and Dan. It was a much over due girls weekend! Kelli and Dan just recently bought a house so it was so cool to go and check it out! I cant wait to go back again and see how far the house has come along!
On a lighter note... only about 3 1/2 weeks until i start my CNA Program.... Which means only 7 1/2 weeks until i have my certificate!!! :) i cant wait to get out of retail and into a medical enviornment!
Well thats all for now... If there is no way you can skip work tomorrow.... BE SAFE!!! As for the rest of you... enjoy the snow! :)

week one... complete

Its been one week since ive started my new lifestyle change..... I am working out on a regular basis and eating better too! I worked out four days last week... and this morning i went to the gym again. Ive been going as a guest for the past few visits. But since i really like it so much, im going to figure out if its in my budget to actually join! Im trying to keep on a strict diet long enough for when its time for jens wedding! i need a new dress for it, and i want to buy a super cute one, that i will feel and look great in! Im not only doing it for the wedding, but myself. Its time to live on the healthy side... and being on this side makes me feel awesome! i have a journal that i write down everything im eating, and what workouts i did for the day. And im also taking my vitamins! Oh and you cant forget about water, i drink on average... about, 72-96 ozs a day.
Were going to see kelli this weekend! im so pumped for this girls weekend! In my journal however, this is my "blind weekend", because lets face it!, its a girls weekend and theres no way im going to be able to work out and eat healthy all weekend! haha... Thats all for now! have a lovely day!

Hello World

How you been? Good to see you my only friend!.....
I know, its been a while! But im back now! lots has been going on lately! First off... i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying the beginning of your new year! Its 2011??? Holy Moly!!! thats nuts! I havent done anything too exciting this new year... Technically i should have been going to school right now, but i decided that im going to go into CNA right now... so i dont start school until February! And the program is only a 4 week program. Im super pumped for it... and also pumped to get out of Old Navy.... 4 years there is way too long..... im over it haha.

I had such a productive morning today.... First i worked at 6... and then i got off at 9.... After i got home grandma gave my mom a buzz and asked if i wanted to join her for a visit at the gym.... Which i was totally up for! because, although i have been working out lately.... My basement is not the same as the gym. It was super fun to work out on something other then a treadmill or my usual yoga. We worked out for a good 45 minutes.... i think im going to go back next week and get a free one week trial.... Eventually i am going to join when its more in the budget, probably next month. But for now The good ol' treadmill and the dumb bells will have to suffice.

I guess i can mention that i have started to knit my first blanket! I am so pumped on it! I got a whole bunch of knitting stuff for christmas, including enough yarn to make a blanket!!!! Its down to my knees from my waste right now.... still have a ways to go until i finish... but im so proud of it!

Well thats all for now... have a lovely evening! :)
