Life in General
I've been realizing that I don't have much going on in my life right now, but how truly blessed I am for everything I have been given and continue to receive daily.
I have such a wonderful family and have received my big brother (finally!!). My Dad just received a promotion at work and is actually working normal work hours. No more getting up at 4:30 a.m. for family prayer :) Mom continues to amaze me with all of her surgeries and family health problems, she continues to be the one that seems to hold us all together. Michelle and Joe are in la la land and I expect they will be for a while, but marriage has been good for both of them. Matt (aka "Fatty") is going to school full time and working as much as he can. He's dating lots of girls and enjoying life. Ethan is still serving his mission in the Washington Everett Mission. This kid is my hero. He is incredible and has grown so much on his mission. I miss him like crazy, but I have no complaints, because he's where he needs to be.
The new house is AWESOME!! I finally have most of the bugs worked out and most of the unpacking done. I'm loving my new house! I am still looking for a third roommate, which has been a difficult process, but I'm praying one comes.
I love my new ward! I think I pretty much have the best Bishop ever! He is different than any of the other bishops I've ever had. He takes the time to get to know you and he wants to be there to help in anyway. I currently have 3 callings in my ward. I'm the choir director, mingles committee chair and a member of the compassionate service committee. They are definitely keeping me busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm growing and learning. My ward members are great to include and make sure everyone has someone to be with. No one sits alone in Sacrament meeting, which is such a wonderful way to engage people. Yes, I have been truly blessed with my ward.
Friends . . . not quite sure where to begin with this. I have so many marvelous friends in my life. I've decided that because I didn't have many friends growing up that my Heavenly Father finally took pity on me and gave me the best of friends. I couldn't begin to name everyone that has had such a positive impact on my life. I'm sure that if you're reading this blog, you are one of them and I thank you for allowing me to be your friend. I cherish my friendships because they seem hard to come by for me.
My job. Well, I've had quite the humbling experience with my job a couple of weeks ago and it taught me some valuable lessons. I hope that I never have to repeat those two weeks. I've learned that sometimes, you just can't say anything that will make things better for your employees. You can't be friends with your employees. You have to be the boss, a kind boss mind you, but not someone that your employees call and you hang out. I think the hardest part of my job is being a manager, but having employees older or the same age as me. I'm learning though and I pray that my Heavenly Father will continue to guide my hands on the best way to approach being "the boss."
I seriously love my roommate. I pray for her constantly and hope that she knows how much I love her. :)
That's my life in general. It comes with its ups and downs. Its happy and sad days, but I'm generally happy and am grateful. :)
