After the DaBells came home from their vacation, the girls have been nothing but adorable! They have gotten attached to me! Which means I must be doing my job :) ha They really do like me and they will cry when I leave for an activity, and are more than excited when I get home and get to play with them! They've met Adam a couple of times, the girls are slow to warm up to anybody, but Sophie is hilarious! She just stares at him, won't talk to me or Paul if she can see him! Sadie has warmed up to him, she will talk to him and play around. I just hadn't realized when I met the girls, we instantly started playing! Diana said that they never warm up to people that quick, and she was right!

Adam and I have seen each other every day since we met nearly a month ago. It feel like I have known him for months! We have been a couple for two weeks now, scary to think about. It really has been different. I am so used to being independent, having my guard up, taking care of my self. Adam comes in and just wants to take care of me and protect me. He told me how before, he would only date short girls, like 5'4''! That's tiny! He argued with friends promising he would never date a tall girl, ever! And here he is, with me, 5'10''! And everything just feels so natural. Are hugs, when we lay together, even just walking together is so comfortable. I just melt when I'm with him! There have been a couple times that we will be hugging, and he will say something so cute and mean what he says, and my knees will just lose feeling and I just fall for him! (Multiple meanings there)
I met his family when we first started dating, and they are just the sweetest people! His parents are so kind and so cute! They way Adam talks to his mom is so cute! He is always saying how adorable she is and points out things he loves! Always talks about her service and how she is just the sweetest lady! And she is! His dad is funny! It's funny to be able to see his personality compared to Adam's! They are so much alike! They know everything about each other and connect really well! Even their laugh is the same! Adam's little 14-year-old sister Grace is adorable! She has really warmed up to me and we get along really well! In fact, we are going shopping on saturday! Just the two of us! :) Jennan on the other hand, decided she hated me before she met me and won't give me a chance to prove that she and I would get along. She acts nice to make Adam happy, but she avoided me all night and won't even try. Her and Adam argue a lot because we are dating.. Of course it feels like my fault, and it shouldn't. According to Adam, she is always like this. But I can't just shrug it off like it doesn't bug me. The rest of his family likes me! His niece, Sarah, would never let me leave, if she had a say in it! She is just too darn cute! Adam's older sister, Eva, has 7 kids! Katelyn, Kyle, Emma, Sarah, Jacob, Lizzie, and one more.. I'm surprised I remember that many! haha but they are cute, cute kids! Play very well together and I just fit right in! I love it! :)

It is weird to be in a relationship. I have never felt this way. It scares me. But Adam reassures me that he will protect me. I just wish I knew what to do. Is he the one I will marry? Will my family like him if they get to meet him? Will he be a good husband? Everyone tells me to look for these red flags, and I guess I see where they are coming from, it's just hard to find them! Everyone else judges second hand, they only hear stories and jump to conclusions without seeing or experiencing what I do. I don't want to feel like I have to choose between my life and my relationship. It would be so much easier if we were in Utah, he could meet my family and my friends and then they could judge everything. Everything would just be easier if I were at home..

What a week!

So last Saturday, I dropped the DaBell's off at the airport. They flew to Colorado and Spokane for the week for one day of work, and the rest to visit family. While they have been gone, I was home, getting paid to watch the house and feed the dogs. So much has happened this week! I have some of the most amazing friends in the world! I have been to volleyball 3 or 4 times this week, and hopefully again tonight! I have gone out with the girls! Had some alone time with me, myself, and I. And just had a freaking awesome week!

Last Friday, my new best friend Paige invited me to go play volleyball with a few people in our ward and a group from a spanish speaking ward that met in the building we were playing in. When we first started, it was completely segregated, but the game was the same no matter what race you are. We had a total of 3 teams, 2 from the Rio Vista ward, and 1 from the Spanish speaking. Which ever team lost the game would sit out and the team sitting would come in. As the night went on, we started to mix up the teams quite a bit. It was such a neat experience to see how the gospel is true to every race, in every language. To see that just from a volleyball game! It was incredible. Everyone got along so well! Even though the majority of what they said was not English, we still communicated and understood each other! They are just the funnest people!
About half way through the night, while I am sitting out, in walks this guy. Check him out, and yup! He is a hottie!!
I recognized him from FHE earlier that week, he played on my frisbee team and we hadn't talked much. More of an introduction and a hand shake, that was it. I knew after the game I was looking for him, high hopes of getting to talk to him. But of course, the hot guy is surrounded by women. I shrugged it off and went out with my friends.
So he walks over by Paige and I, since he obviously knew Paige. Now Paige and I were on drugs or something! We were laughing our heads off ALL NIGHT! Making all these inside jokes and just laughing at everything. Then he turns to me and introduces himself, his name is Adam. Mmmmhmmmm. haha. He just immediately jumps into our conversations and tries to make jokes with us, and we wasn't doing so well. When our team was up to play, he played with us. We started out next to each other and we made a great team! Just an instant connection. :)
As the night goes on, we play forever and just have a blast the entire time! Adam always made sure to be next to me! Like made someone change him spots! It was funny. But we did, we worked really well together! Plus he is a hunk! Can't resist that! haha
When everyone else decided it was time for them to go home, Paige and I sat there and watched Adam and Nate play a little basketball. Nate was in charge of locking up the building. None of us wanted to go home yet, so we were deciding what to do. As I am talking to Paige, a ball was coming right for me! But Adam steps in, catches it, and says "I just saved your life" haha and strangely enough, it happened a second time! When we were about to leave, Nate was throwing the ball just above my head to bounce off the wall and make me twitch thinking it will hit me. Adam laughs and says, "There are two ways to flirt with a girl, saving her or teasing her". He admitted to flirting with me!! AH! Hahaha! So we are finally leaving, heading to a Circle K. Nate had walked, and Adam rode his bike, where as Paige and I both drove. Adam insisted on riding with me, and I couldn't argue. As we walked to my car, he opened my door! Even though I was the one driving! We get to the Circle K, right after we park he turns to me and asks, "Can you do me a favor and wait for me to come open your door?" and he holds his hand out for me, but won't let me just like touch it as I get out, he makes me sit back down and use his hand to pull myself out of the car! Adam and I agreed to just share a drink, and I was in the mood to experiment. I got some sprite and mixed in the raspberry stuff and BAM! Best drink ever! Ha and then this incredibly drunk woman walks in, walks through our group and just talks with us and is waiting for the bathroom. She was so funny! Then Adam asks what the blue stuff in my drink was, and before I could say anything! This guy that works at the gas station, who is not even facing us, he is on his knees putting cups in a cupboard just says, "Drugs." BAHAHAHA!! Just out of no where!! I almost died laughing!
We all head over to Adam's house and start watching 'How I Met your Mother'!! I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW AND I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL MY FRIENDS WATCH IT!!! Adam had gone upstairs to shower, Paige and Nate sat on the long couch, leaving me alone on the other. But by the time Adam came down, I had to go home. He walks me outside, and we hug. This was a long hug! He is so strong! OO! haha and then I leave. He texts me and says, "That was the best 37 seconds of my life!" haha he is just so cute! And so good to me!
The next day, after I dropped off the DaBells, he came to the giant slip and slide with me. When I got there, everyone around us was hugging and saying hi to everyone. So he cuts through the circle and picks me up and hugs me as he spins me around! It was fun! We raced a ton down the slide and I just couldn't win!! Ridiculous! Paige came after, she made me cookies! Which Adam and I ate. :) Then we helped clean up the tarps and stuff and everyone left but us three. We tossed my frisbee around for awhile, it was fun! And we just made some funny jokes! I loved it! Paige had to go home for dinner, so Adam and I went to his house and jumped in the pool! Then I would float on my back and he would just twist me around while we talked. Then we hugged in the pool and started swaying, and he just starts to sing that song from The Notebook, "I'll be seeing you" and I just melted!! He is one heck of a singer!! AND he is singing from my favorite love story of all time!! Finally we get out, he gets me a change of clothes and I stuck mine in the dryer while he is upstairs changing. He shows me some songs he wrote on the piano! Incredible!! So I show him some of the ones I know. He then starts playing songs his old band covered. He was the lead singer in his band haha. He is really good! Then we have Paige come over and we watch How I Met Your Mother again! :) I get so tired, when I start to fall asleep, I decide it is time to go! Paige and I talked for awhile outside, then she left and Adam gives me a big hug. We kind of start slow dancing, but there was no music! haha So he starts to sing again!! It was so cute! Then it is the half-pull out of a hug thing, and he just whispers that he wants to kiss me! So I simple just pull back into the hug haha only for him to pull out and kiss me!
I never believed people when they said the felt fireworks during a kiss, only because I had never felt it. (notice I said had, get it? Ya know, because I felt them? Get it now? hahaha) It was breath-taking! We end the night with another long hug, and I take off.
The rest of the week was filled with YSA activities and hanging out Adam, Paige, and Shannon. Sometimes other friends as well, but mainly just those 3. I have now seen Adam everyday for the last week. Which is a lot! It will be nice to see how things will be when we both start working again on Monday. He is starting back up at this Infinity car dealership. He worked there last year, but left and worked in Chicago this past summer, so now he is going his old boss as I am typing with to confirm his job. It will be interesting to be busy and see how much we see each other and how that effects the way we feel. He is just so handsome, and I can't get used to it! And his manners and perfect! He is so protective of me! I love it! :) I am excited to see how this goes. But I am headed to the airport to pick up the DaBells.

My does time fly by!

Well it has been just over a week since I updated. So forgive me if I scramble as I tell you about everything that has happened.

Last thursday, was nothing special. Neither was Friday or Saturday. I don't remember doing anything out of routine.

On Sunday, I went to the Deer Valley YSA ward. Now Deer Valley is a wealthier part of town, so all the members in this ward are popular and dress amazingly and kind of seemed a bit up-tight. I didn't feel welcome and I knew I was out of place. I thought I should go to my ward because that is where I live and maybe that is where I was meant to go. BUT! I was thinking backwards! I had gotten lost for a reason, and my family gave me the address to the Rio Vista ward for a reason! I feel at home there and already have tons of friends! We have the same humor and have fun all the time! So I decided that I am attending the Rio Vista ward from now on. Plus they already have my records.. :)

This week has flown by, yet it isn't Friday! I painted the girls' toes for the first time and they just love it!! Paul wasn't too happy.. idk why. Then Diana came out and saw it and just swooned over it! Nailed it!! hahaha get it?? hahaha!

Monday night was stake FHE, so both the wards I had been to would be there. We were playing ultimate frisbee in the dark! It was intense! There were so many people there!! Some attractive ones as well! I played with the Rio Vista ward. And we'd be playing a game, and a guy from the other team that was defending me would stop, turn to me, and introduce himself! hahaha it was so weird!! It happened FOUR times! hahaha I just sayed hi, and that I am Kara, then kept playing. haha I am to in love with frisbee to get distracted in a game! :) After everyone was done playing, me RV friends and I went to Denny's! Now I had already made enchiladas and ate before, so I was not hungry. Instead I just had water and this flavored sprite drink which was delicious! Total, I had four glasses of water and five of the sprite stuff!! I was so thirsty! After I had this huge gut full of liquid! It was hilarious! And the while time we were there I was just laughing at everything! My friends are so funny! I love it! :)

On Tuesday, I went out with my Aunt Hannah! We went to Pheonix and got a mani/pedi! While in massage chairs! It was so relaxing! She needed to get out because she has some horrible family issues. She is divorced, but still lived with him for the girls. But she caught him with drugs and now they are in court fighting for custody of their two girls. It is a mess. So it was great to get out of the world and just relax. We went down by the Diamondbacks stadium and walked around for awhile, then ate at Whataburger before her curfue at this shelter she is staying at. It was fun to be with her, but at the same time I was ready to come home..

Then last night I went with some of my friends at the Rio Vista ward to play Volleyball with another ward. We were goofy and competitive, so it was a lot of fun! I suck at serving, but I get some really good digs! :) -said by this girl who plays for college! OH YEAH! haha But we were playing until 11:30 last night! I did not get enough sleep! It was so much fun though!

Tomorrow I drop the DaBell's off at the airport. They will be in Colorado for the next week while I stay here, and get paid $500 to feed the dogs twice a day! I don't know what to do with all of this time!! Saturday I will most likely go to this gigantic slip and slide! They are using SIX tarps!! That's ridiculous!! I am pretty excited! Then the rest of the week will probably be spent doing nothing. Watching movies by myself. Yup, that's the plan! I'm really hoping that Mitch asks me out, or to go boating like he said.. And I just sit here and wait. Waiting to see if he will talk to me, let alone ask me out! It is torture!! UGH!! haha oh well. I can't do anything about it. He doesn't know that I am going to the Rio Vista ward though.. and I won't tell him. It will just be a nice surprise when I show up. :) Just watch and see that he is out of town that week or has to work! He won't show, I know it! I don't have good luck with guys. But I am sticking to my guns!

Best day off EVER!

So today, today was a grand day! I woke up at 5:30 and ran 4 miles and then did some yoga. Got ready for the day and played with the girls. They have this huge toy boat that we filled with water in the back yard and the girls just went nuts! After, Sadie wouldn't put a diaper on. She was just running around the play area, so happy and free! ha ...then she peed. It got on the book shelf and a couple of her toys. So I quickly grabbed her and got the diaper on while Diana cleaned up the pee. By lunch time Diana gave me the rest of the day off. I went and got the new mumford & sons and the FUN cd's for my car. Then I went home and got ready for my first Arizona date!
Mitchell picked me up around 2:30, I even had Paul meet him haha. First we went to his sister Shannon's boyfriend Erick's mom's house and loaded up two couches and a dresser in the back of Erick's truck and moved it to his mom's new apartment. Erick had a cover on the back of his truck which we had to take off to fit everything in for one trip. Erick and Mitch held it up while Shannon and I were unscrewing screws and Mitch made it a race and kept telling me not to let him down haha and I won!! :) Bonus points for me!! Ha! Then Shannon and I carried a couch out of the truck, maneuvered it up the stairs, and into the apartment without a problem! Pretty impressive concerning the fact that Mitch and Erick broke the neighbors porch light with the couch hahaha!!
The four of us then headed to the theaters and watched Trouble With a Curve, which was good. A little slow in the middle, then picked up with a great ending. Mitch said that before I did, and was exactly what I had thought! After the movie, his mom called him and emailed him this coupon to Humble Pie, so we all went to eat! Erick and Shannon shared a salad and sandwhich, Mitchell and I shared a delicious pizza! And with the coupon, dinner only cost $6! haha After dinner we headed to the Jone's home, we played with Mitch's niece and nephew and they were so cute and so fun! Then his dad came home and I met him, he had just gotten back from a 6 mile run! Makes my 4 miler look sissy.. haha! But he was very nice! He made me some chocolate milk! :) After his niece and nephew left we played some Call of Duty, thank heavens! As if I didn't get along with these people enough already!! AND after that we had some mint ice cream and watched modern family!!! I couldn't believe it! haha I was able to be completely me, made jokes and everything. I felt so comfortable with them!
I got home at 11:30 haha so a total of 9 hours! Talk about a long first date, but it was great!! Everything was so much fun! When he walked me to the door he asked if I would go boating with him and his friend when they go, and obviously I said yes!! With the exception that I am not working.

So in conclusion, it was a great day! I am really happy! :) And I am excited to see what happens next.

Catch up time!

So I haven't had access to my blog for a couple days.. Friday was the day for me to leave for Riverside California. Which is a good 4.5 hour drive. Thursday night I decided it was time to do some laundry for the first time since I moved here hahaha. And that was at 10 at night, so my clothes get done at about midnight, and they didn't dry all the way. I remember Grandma Cleo saying that clothes will mold if they are folded wet, so my solution was to have all my drawers open and hang out all my clothes from there and lay them out on the floor ha my room was a pigsty! But they layed there all night and were dry and ready to pack/put away in the morning.
That night I didn't sleep well, I would wake up every few hours thinking I had slept in and jumped out of bed to start packing. Only then to notice that it was too early to get up. I did get out of bed on time, started folding up my clothes and either packing it in my suitcase or sticking it back in the drawer. Halfway packed and Diana comes downstairs. She had just gotten home from work, it was almost 8am. Gave me some good/bad news... I had a flat tire. Bad because I had to buy a new one, good because I probably wouldn't have noticed it and could have driven with a flat for 320 miles. So I go get my tire fixed, finish packing, and hit the road. I barely got to see the girls before I left and got a quick hug in from Grandma Cleo, this was the last time I would see here until Thanksgiving, if then.
So I hit the road just after noon. Driving is awesome! I am just by myself, get to think about whatever I wanted, and I have 5 mix cd's that some of my cool friends made me before I left home so I had plenty of good music! And 5 hours in a car didn't even phase me! It was weird that it was so easy for me. I got to Riverside just before 5pm and KC let me park in the appt. complex parking lot. We take all my stuff inside, I meet his roommate, Reed. Who is hilarious! Then KC and I changed and left for the beach! But by the time we got there it was already sunset and getting cold, so we didn't get in. We went on the pier and ate at Ruby's Diner, had a delicious bacon cheeseburger! :) Then we headed home and watched Fantastic Mr. Fox! Love that movie! :) Then about one in the morning, Jessica gets home. She is KC's friend from the singles ward that let me stay in her apartment. Her roommate was getting married that Saturday so her room was open. She was very nice!
Saturday morning I woke up, got ready, then went to KC's for breakfast. We made french toast, YUM! Then we went to my birth dad's second of four softball games. They had lost the first one then won the one we watched. Brian and KC got along almost too well! Sports is man's universal language!! Haha! I just sat there.. But they were joking and watching football and all that. I like watching sports, but I don't know anything about each individual player. I don't feel the need to either. So I just watched while they talked. The guy in charge of the whole tournament really likes Brian, and Brian loves to introduce me to everyone haha but then he was introducing KC as my boyfriend.. which was a little weird.. I don't think KC even heard it. It was so loud in there. But anywho.. we met this guy and he is beyond rich!! He meets us and just buys us lunch!! Then he invites us to dinner with the team at this Brazilian restaurant and we were supposed to dress all fancy and everything. We had to leave so KC could get to practice on time. Then I came back for the forth game, which they lost.. I took Brian and two of his buddies back to their hotel, and was going to pick up KC and come back for dinner. Then I got on the freeway. It took my two hours to get back to KC's. And there was no way I was about to drive all the way back just for dinner. KC was trying to make me feel better and so we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. He wants to live there! He doesn't have cable so he can't watch sports, and BWW has a tv on every inch of wall in the building! So I doubt he remembers a word I said that night. And the food was pretty good, I was kind of expecting more.. maybe just because I had been planning on Brazilian food.
That night we watched this movie called 'Freedom Writers' which was great! We had bought ingredients to make oreo balls. KC was exhausted so I mashed the cookies and mixed it all. He put the vanilla chocolate in the microwave to melt, but had it in too long and it burnt. The oreo balls just aren't the same without chocolate on top.. So they are just sitting in his fridge ha. He was laying on floor after cleaning up and asked me to come look at stars with him (the ceiling) and we just layed there and fell asleep. Jessica called and asked where I was so I left and went to bed again. ha.
Sunday morning I got up and ready, packed all my stuff and said goodbye to Jess. Had some eggs with KC then started making the lasagna I owed him. Stinking Packers for losing to the 49ers.. gees. But he helped me, well he kind of took over. He seemed to know more about making lasagna than I do. But it turned out great! It was surprising that it was so good after our oreo balls incident haha. Then I cleaned up while KC and Reed showered and got ready for church. I even got to pick out ties :) haha. KC walked me out to my car and I left.
While driving home I was in the middle of no where, almost to the California/Arizona border, no cars near me, and I picked up the speed a little.. And then there was a cop.. He just pulled out and followed me. I was getting off to get gas anyways. But my tags had expired the day before and I still haven't gotten my plates yet. So after I pull into the gas station, he turns on his lights. Wrote me down for 10 over even though I was going 91 in a 70.. ha So that isn't going to be cheap. But my car functioned well the whole trip. I made it home safe. The DaBells were still gone, they had taken Grandma Cleo to the air port. When the girls got home they ran in "KA KA KA!" Haha (They can't say their R's yet, so my name in Ka) What a good feeling! I was so worried that they would hate being with me without Grandma Cleo there. And it hasn't been too bad!
Monday was FHE with the Rio Vista ward, my last activity with that ward. By now I have some friends there so it wasn't awkward. And I have met many more! I had two guys ask for my number haha :) And I got to see Aaron's new bike! Mitchell wasn't there, I guess it was pay back for not being at church ha. But he and I are looking for teammates to do the tough mudder with us this spring! So far we have us, and one other haha. Mitchell and I are supposed to do something tonight.. so we'll see if that falls through. He is a good looking man! And funny, so it could be fun. I just wish things with me and KC were easier. Long distance stuff stinks. But things will work out how they are supposed to, I don't doubt that. Everything I have been through has made me the person I am today, and I wouldn't want it any other way! :)

Blur

I am starting to have a lot of trouble remembering what day it is.. Everything is too similar. I do the same thing for 9 hours a day. Luckily I get to go play ultimate frisbee tonight with the young single adult ward! They play every thursday night, so I only get to go when Diana isn't working, in for tonight having grandma Cleo here. :) I have met some really funny people! These two girls that have been friends forever, and I were talking at FHE on monday, they are so fetching hilarous!! They are like twice my age... but we sure got along well!! :) I just wish that my schedule was more set, like I thought it would be. Diana's schedule isn't a set schedule so some days she will just take over and give me half the day off. But I still don't know what to do with all my extra time..

Tomorrow afternoon I leave for Riverside, California. Hopefully for a great weekend! Grandma Cleo insisted that I leave at noon so that I don't have to drive in the dark, and I didn't argue with her! haha Friday will most likely just be a movie and bed. Saturday morning we will go to one of my birth father's softball games, and grocery shop. Then KC has practice.. so I will probably go back to the fields and watch couple games. Then KC and I are going to the beach! :) And then I am making him lasagna... I sort of lost a bet haha stinking packers, should be doing much better this season! So KC got to pick what I make for him, lasagna it is! I just hope he likes my cooking, the DaBell's sure have! :) But I will leave Sunday afternoon, when KC leaves for church. He has a game Sunday night, I really wish I could watch a game. But I need to be home. I really hope that all goes well!

Today, I had the morning off. So I sat in my room. Then Diana, Paul, Grandma Cleo, the girls and I went to JoAnns and babys r us! It was so fun being out and about with the girls! Then they took us out to Chipotle, which was pretty good! I like having things to do! Time flys though, like the girls have been napping for 2 1/2 hours! I knew they'd be tired, but it has gone by so fast! And I haven't gotten anything done haha. And I still can't believe it's thursday! I keep forgetting that frisbee is tonight and that I leave tomorrow. And I won't have time to pack tomorrow, so I have do laundry and pack tonight. So hopefully I get everything done. Water prices are higher certain times of the day, so I can't do laundry yet.. I have just turned into a lazy bum. I just sit around all day! Haha and I have only ran once since I got here.

Luckily I have active friends! Ha! My new friend, Mitch, is really funny! And he is a runner, so he has already started planning 10ks and stuff for me to do. I'm glad because it will get me off my butt! We are looking for a team to do this run called Tough Mudder. As far as I understand, it is a 10 mile obstacle course! It looks like a blast!! I need to get in shape though! Luckily it isn't until February!! It looks freaking hard, but how cool would it be to say that you did it? To conquer something like that? I want that!! So time to start working!! :)

Best Night

Today, the girls have been pretty ornery. They wouldn't eat enough, so they didn't sleep well, so they were even more cranky after their nap! But WOO! Diana woke up early today and took Paul and the girls shoe shopping! So I got to lay downstairs for an extra 30 mins! :)

I went up at about 5:30 and started making my favorite food! Sweet and sour over rice! And I have never cooked for Paul, Diana, or Grandma Cleo.. So I was way nervous! Luckily I was alone when I cooked so I didn't have anyone watching me. When I was adding the brown sugar, I was trying to pack it in the measuring spoon when it snaps in half and all the brown sugar flipped ALL over me! Mostly down my shirt!! I went outside, in the backyard, and shook everything out. Thankfully the back yard is surrounded by 10 ft concrete walls. :) But I got everything cleaned up, finished cooking, got the rolls in the oven, and the table set as the family gets home! BAM! Best timing ever!

The girls are still ornery, tired, and hungry! So we all sit right down and dig in. Diana was amazed! Everyone loved it! Except the twins.. but that was expected. I learned that babies have to taste something 17 times before they can decide if they like it or not! That is a lot! But when they taste something new for the fist few times, they just aren't used to the taste and their first reaction is to just spit it out. Diana and Paul have done SO much research for these girls! Talk about love! And I get to learn it now, before I have my own kids! Like Sadie was classified as 'Failure to Thrive', and I had no clue what that was! I found myself wanting to research it myself and see what I could do to help her, and to prevent my children to have it!

This job is such a blessing in my life! And is a part of my path back to my heavenly father. I am preparing myself for my future in the best way possible! I am practicing for when I have a family of my own to take care of, to cook for and to clean up after. Hopefully I can get signed up for school in the spring and get some online college done while I am still here working. Then I can prepare myself for a career to provide for a family. I am just so happy to be able to see heavenly fathers hand in my life and see all the blessings he is generously giving!

And to top off a great night, my best friend Jaders and I talked on the phone for a good hour!! :) Oh how great it is to laugh my head off! :) I miss her much, she is the only person (outside my family) that I can be a complete freak with! And gosh, do we have fun or what!! :)
