The Waiting Game

Having patience is not always an easy thing.  Trying to figure out what to do with your life, but not knowing what else might come make decisions a lot harder.  Take for instance living situations.  Deciding where to live is a hard thing for someone my age.  Trying to decide whether you should sign your life away in a contract for an apartment, means you are stuck somewhere for at least that long.  Then there is the chance that you won't find a job, or you find to person you want to marry, but you don't live in the same state, you have a job that you are tied to, you can't get out of your contract, and everyone thinks you are rushing to fast.  

Change of subject!  For those of you that don't know, I have gone on my first second date EVER!!! That date turned into a 3rd and 4th as well.  It has made me feel like a whole new person.  I have a lot more confidence in myself and feel like I can do a lot more and am way happier.  I know, me happier, hard to believe.  :)  I may not know whether or not this "relationship" will continue but it has been a blast on the ride.  I would just like to thank the guy for the much needed confidence he has given me.  so THNAK YOU!!!

Do This, Do That, and Have you finished that yet...?

So working at the school has been a ton of fun, but the down fall is... First, I am so good at what I do, that everyone wants me to do their job too. :)  Second, I just got hired as the new custodian and the secretaries I work with in the office asked our principal if they could make a custodian/office worker, just so I could keep doing the work they don't like to do.  The principal said, "No way!" Did I mention I like her.  :)  Third, since I don't really have a life, I do a lot of things for Tawnya and her class.  Mostly grading, passing back homework, making copies, entering grades, fixing things she breaks, and the list goes on.  Don't get me wrong though, I love my job and my life!  

Family Matters

So this week I have had the chance to get back to the roots of my family.  My Uncle Kevin, from my mother's side, passed away and we gathered in Lovell, Wyoming to celebrate his life.  Getting together as a HUGE family shows me how much we are alike.  It brings back the love of the country and the closeness of the family.  We all got together at Grandma's old house, now Geraldine and Kevin's house, to have Geraldine's famous, family scones and we will have a cousins game night tomorrow before Howard, Chris, and I head back down to Utah.  If we could, we would move here in a minute and just forget about all our troubles.  There are really only two maybe three things that are keeping my parents from moving back here.  The first is my grandma.  My  Grandma Spitzenberger is 93, has had many different cancers for the last 20 plus years, lives at home by herself, and is still kicking.  My dad will not move until she passes.  The second is my dad needs to retire so they can afford to just forget about life and have a good time serving the Lord.  Then the third kind of goes along with being able to move.  They have to sell the house, which is a feat in itself.  My mom keeps trying to get me to move home so that I can help get the house ready, but that isn't happening.  At least not at this time in my life.  Well this has been a lesson from Dr. Lauri.  Have pleasant dreams!
