HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

So today is my birthday, and I am at work having a great time! This is my first official day by myself---with out my trainer--- and I am having so much fun! AND--- I got secret shopped today, and I got a perfect score! Congrats to me! I can't believe how easy all of this really is! There is still a lot more that I need to learn, but I think i will get the hang of it quick.

Nicole and Ket and the kids are leaving today to California, so I will be in the house all by myself for the rest of the week. It will definately be a little lonely, but I think I can handle it. LOL. I move into my new apartment this weekend, with the help of tutu...thanks tutu! I also found out that three of my co-workers live in the same area as I will be, so it will be fun with all of us in the southwest part of Boise! Everyone is really cool here at work, and it will be sad to leave them when I go to work for Ket. But I know that this is what I am supposed to do.

Anyways, other than work and moving, nothing else has really happened. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I love you all!

so, life is great.

so, life is great. I love my new job. It does get boring sometimes, but it is so easy. I can't wait to be able to know everything! lol

Quick Update

Congratulations to ME! I just got a call tonight from Elizabeth at the Fairfield Inn in Boise, and I got the Front Desk job there! I will be starting right away, so I just wanted to upday ya'll before i get too busy, and hear the complaints!

the week

so, here is a summary of all that has happened since i last blogged...

On Saturday, we went to float the Boise river, and had a wonderful time! I didn't think that the water was too cold, or anything, but that doesn't mean I got in! LOL. Brandi and the kids and Jesiah, and I went in Dad's big raft, so it was nice. I would've been better had there been another adult to help w/ the kids while we controlled the oaring, but it still worked out just fine. Another thing that happened on Saturday, was, I found out that Ket wanted me to work for him at the Marriott Hotel that he was just made GM of. However, that hotel doesn't open until December, so I need to get a job at a different Hotel until Kets' opens. So on Monday, I decided to spend the day in Boise going around to all the different Marriott Hotels and finding out which ones were hiring. So, THANK you to Nicole and Ket for letting me stay at your house! So on Tuesday, I went to those hotels that said they were hiring, and had a couple of interviews. I also stopped at the Institute in Boise to get some names of girls that were looking for a roommate. I called a couple of them, and found a really good one, at a really good price. It is just a little bit on the outskirts of Boise, and it is a NEW apartment complex, so it is really nice. I think there was a reason why I hadn't gotten a job yet here in Ontario. I am really excited about where all of this is going, and can't wait to get into a new career! I will be moving into the new place at the beginning of September. So wish me luck! TTYL!

New news

Well, we found out yesterday, grandpa dunn has lung cancer. I am so sad. There are many things that I thought would never happen to our family, and this is certainly one of them. I know that he will be just fine. Not necisarlly heal, but HE will be fine. I love them both so much, it is going to be hard. I will be praying for them.

All the kids went to Roaring Springs yesterday, and I they had so much fun! Here is a picture of all of them.

That is Logan, Brandi, Alec, Nicole, Kassia, Jesiah, Krystal, Robbie, and Noah!

They said they all had a lot of fun, except it was a little cold for them, so they only ended up staying about an hour, then went back to Nicoles house to have dinner. Can't wait for next season when I can get a season pass, and join in the fun!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Baby Shower

Well, the baby shower was a success, I think anyways! We had so much fun on Friday! Everyone started to arrive at 6:00, and by 6:30, we started to play and have fun! The food was good, the dessert was good, the guests were great! There are pictures posted on Krystals' page if you want to see them, but for the most part, I'm sure everyone had fun!

Yesterday, Dad, Mom, and I went to see Bourne Ultimatum. It was a really good movie. I highly recomend that movie-series. While we were waiting for it to start, dad decided to go sit in Harry Potter for a minute. (I don't know why, but thats what he wanted to do), so after our movie started, he came in. After the movie was over, he decided that he wanted to go see Harry Potter from wherever it was at. So we went into the other theater, and found out that it was just about to start. Actually, I guess it was supposed to start at 4:00, and it was 4:20 when we went in there, and it hadn't started yet. So, luckily for him, he got to see all of the movie! What LUCK!

I love the sabbath day! It gives me so much peace to know that this day is for the Lord, and to spend with our families! I can't imagine what our lives would be like without the love and the blessings that this gospel brings into our lives. What a wonderful gift it is to know that He loves us, and has a specific mission for each of us, here on this earth. I know that, by following His example and teachings, we can become like Him, and truly have endless happiness in our lives.

My heart goes out to Elder Fausts' family during this time of mourning. His was a highly spiritual man, and I will miss his teachings to us!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sabbath Day! I love you all!

New picture!

Here are some updated pictures of me. I took these today! Somehow my hair looks really good today, so here you go. Isn't it fun, the technology we have today?!

Well, I had an interview today for woodgrain. I think it went really well. They will cut the choices down to 3 people by the end of the week, and give me a call if I'm one of them. Then I will have to interview with the Manager of Human Resources. So, keep your fingers crossed, I hope it will go alright.

Krystal's Baby Shower is this Friday, so I need to get busy and finalize all the plans for the day. I hope everything goes smoothly. I also hope we have a good turnout. I haven't gotten very many RSVP's (not that I was really expecting people to RSVP me, but still...), so everyone: COME!!!

Anyways, that's all I really have to say, so... Have a wonderful morning, evening, or night, whichever time of day you're reading this...

The Weekend

Well, it was an interesting weekend for me. On Friday Dad and I went to Meridian to pick up my new mattress and box spring set. Mom told us to take the entertainment center with us to give to Nicole and Ket. So we're in the truck, getting off at the Meridian exit, when I had a thought...hmmm.. I wonder if they are even home!? I assumed that since mom told us to take the center, she called Nicole and told her. Well, again I should never assume anything, and Nicole had NO idea that we were even coming. She was out doing her drive-thru's of the neigborhood, and LUCKILY she was just about done, and was on her way home. So that was a blessing. She had NO idea that we were coming. But I was able to get the new mattress, and bring it back home. But since I'm not moving to Fruitland, I decided to just store it at the shop for a while, until I'll need it again. Dad and I spent some good quality time together, and even though we couldn't talk very much during the drive to and from Meridian (the truck has no AC so the windows were down, and it was NOISY), it was a lot of fun to be with him.

On Saturday, we had a birthday party for Logan, and it was so much fun! We had a great time with all the family there. I was going to go up to McCall to see my friend Annie, but I decided that it would be better to be here at home for the party. It sure was a lot of fun. Logan got a new Red Rider Tricyle for his birthday, and some clothes and shoes from Grandma. All of the kids wanted turns to ride the trike and to ride on the back of it also. It was cute watching all of them.

Well, thats all for now. Love you all.
