Last day in April

Well the spring has come and gone all month long it has snowed and rained and then the sun broke through the clouds from time to time. Tomorrow will be May 2010 and this year just keeps bringing more changes into my life. I am now looking for work once again. It has been made clear to me that the position will not work for me and I need to find something more suited to the skills and gifts that my Higher Power has blessed me with. So with that said I am applying and interviewing and trusting my Higher Power to guide me to the company and position that will be the best for me. I will trust that this will happen my the end of May as my needs have always been meant and I know this much when a door closes God will open another one. This time he will need to open the door wide and push me through as I am not trusting myself to get it. Oh I trust God just not myself :) So heres to the next 30 days and the new and wonderful adventures it will bring into my life !!

Ok here it is April 2010, again with no computer at home. I am taking a few minutes to write something. Spring is starting to show up, I have sold my home, living with Amber and her family and I am now on the hunt for a new job. Canyons have decided not to renew my contract come June 2010, not nice at all but it is what it is. Applying is time consuming but I am doing it. I try to get to the gym at least 3 times a week but it is hard with all the time I spend applying on line. I am gratiful that I have about 60 days to find something and if that does not happen I will go on unemployment until I do. I would like to travel to Texas to see Corie and the kids and to see Eileen in the near future. Lil Bit just turned 1 a day ago and it was so sweet to see just how much she has changed and grown. It was just a year ago that she was just so very tiny and she is still not very big. My life is changing still with each day that goes by and the future for me is unsure but I will take one day at a time, enjoy my kids, gr. kids, family and friends and allow for the future to unfold. It's a good day sun shinning, smiles on peoples faces, flowers starting to bloom and I am still breathing and walking LOL :)

March 2010

I have had some computer problems and now I am pretty sure they are fixed. I am currently working for Canyons School District as a secretary (clerk) It is full of interesting people and lack of plenty of work. I am looking with in the district and also out side of the district to see what other options I may have.

I am living with Amber and her family still and things seem to be doing well for the most part I do not seem to be in their way to often.

I am doing alot of self reflecting and I am not to sure I am totally happy with how things have turned out. I have higher expections of myself and where I am today in my life and I have not accomplished what I would have liked so far.

I have a wonderful family who I am so very proud of and some amazing grandkids, I have my health and my extended family and a few good friends so I guess not all is lost to the world of expections.

I will continue to live with Amber for a few more months before making any changes. For now I am looking at getting my math up to a point where I can finish my associate degree and that is taking alot of mental thought on my part.

I am happy to be a mom and grammie with all the love, joy, hugs and kisses it brings into my life. For tonight life is good.

Well, it has been sometime since I was on my Blog and here I am back at it. I have sold my house !!! That is an interesting story. First I tried to sell it my self as I as cleaning and preping the home to be sold I thought well lets give selling the home myself a try and in 30 days if that dose not work I will call Tiffany the best agent I know. After 30 days the house did not sell. We (Tiffany and myself) listed the home the week after Thanksgiving. The first week no one even looked at it. At this time I went and purchased a St. Joseph. I had read up on this saint and decided to purchase him. In the information that comes with St. Joe you are to bury him in your yard (gives you different ways you can do this and if you do your home is sure to sale) I was not sure if I wanted to bury him so for the first week I set him in my window hopeing he would draw the people to my home. Well, that did not work, so on the three week of the home being listed I buried him as the instructions suggested said my pray and was ready and willing for the home to sell. That week I have 3 people walked through and the third couple put in and offer YEA!!!! So a month later I closed on the home and moved in with Amber and her family. I did also dig St. Joseph up (as per the instructions) and I now have him with me !!! Miracles do happen and I was blessed with selling the home. At times I miss the home and the yard and all it had to offer, however it is time to look at different options. Which is what I am in the process of doing. Just never know where life will take you!

August is almost at an end.... with Fall approaching, not to sure I like that one as that means winter is on it's way. Winter is not all bad as long as you can snowmobile once in a while.

It has been a busy summer fun of change. Eileen has moved to Texas, which has been a very good move for her and her family. I miss spending time with her chatting over coffee however we do call and chat with coffee in hand so it is close to the same. She is with in driving distant of her family and her son and his family. Which is very nice, Stacy, her son has 3 daughters and will be adding a son this weekend !!!

I am looking for groups to join and expand my interests. I have called on a few but that is as far as it has gone. I am going to the gym which I really enjoy. I like the weighs and how it makes my body feel afterwards. They have an aqua class two nights a week but it is later and I have yet to try it out. That is something I would like try in the future. I meant a lady who is a math teacher and has offered to help me with my "lack" of math skills. I am excited about that as I want to finish my degree and this should help me to just that.

Abby turned 13 this month wow how times files. She had a fun party with some girls she is friends with and a few of them spent the night at the house!! Hope is now 7 and first grade dancing and playing soccer. She will be taking spanish at school and is looking forward to that. Jackson started JR. High this year, he found is locker and stated he had a nice first day. I have not spoke with O, Grace or Myaha regarding new things with them. Lil bit has her helmet and her week visit is today! She sure looks cute with it on. Amber says she thinks she looks like a super hero...

My parents are doing well as are my sisters and brothers. Scott and Beau still want to move to S. Carolina and are working towards that. Elaine and her family are busy with Shantel and the new baby girl, Maleea. They are all doing well.

I am applying for Secretary positions with Canyons, to further a career with the district. I enjoy working for Canyons and want to make a future for myself here.

Can't think of anything else at this time. I would have loved to see Corie and her family this year, let's hope for next summer.

It's Friday Yea!!!

Made it one more week and life is good. Lil Bit, Erin and Bert were over last night and I was able to get a hair color. I am beeeeeeeeautifullll once again. Missing Abby and Hope as they are visiting grandparents in Vegas. They should be back in a week or so. Will tend Lil Bit tonight and be able to spend a few hours loving on her, that always warms my heart. Working on the yard and maintaining it at this time, way to hot to transplant anything and the garden is looking very nice filling in very well.
At this time in my life I am tying to figure out how to network and start a circle of friends, (Eileen has moved to Texas) not sure of what direction to take to make that happen but I am working on it, in time I will have the circle of friends that will add to my life and adventures that may come my way. My life is full of joys and happiness and the added friendships would be a bonus. For now I will work on this challenge and let the doors open for the new opportunities that lie ahead.

Well it has been almost on month at my new job and I still enjoy it. There have been some interesting people and events that have happened but all in all I really like what I will be doing. We will all be moving into different buildings and starting to work the positions that we were all hired for by the mid Aug time. That will be good for all of us.
July 4th was a day for me to reflex on my life as a mom and grammie and how it has changed again. There are fewer BBQ's and fireworks at the home and fewer busy holidays that keep me hopping. I now have said good bye to a 20 year friendship with my best friend who has moved to Texas. Which brought on "on one at home, no BBQ, no fireworks with the kids and no friend to go and hang out with to bug" My emotions were from one end to the other that day and I have only but to embrace where I am in my life and find a way to make it work for me. It is a sad time, a quiet time, a happy time, and a time full of challenges and new adventures where doors will open and allow for me to experience my life once again in a different light. I will welcome this time with faith and integrity, allowing my higher power to guide me. Here's to the next chapter of my life Whoot Wooo Hang on to the willows willy it's going to be one heck of a ride !!!
