First week

My first week of my new adventure/chapter went great. I love my job at KinderCare. It was a great week. The kids are for the most part are really good and have great parents. Some of the kids did try to test the limits to see what they would be able to get away with, and when they didn't I wanted to laugh at the mumblings. At times I would have to say that I felt like the wicked witch of the west. I only hope that I don't have to be like that all summer or it could be a very long summer. School age children are so much fun. I don't want the summer to go by fast at all but I can't wait for school to start again so that I can start teaching my Kindergartners. They are too cute!

My roommates are great as well. I have been so busy trying to get things put away and organized that I haven' been able to get to know them very well but I am sure that will all change now that I am pretty much done with all of that.

New Chapter/Adventure begins

I moved down to Bountiful yesterday and start my new job tomorrow. I am excited, nerveous, and scared all bundled into one. In other words I am a nerveous wreck. The move yesterday went great. Thanks to the help of my parents, Katie and Joe. I don't think that I could have done it without them. I won't lie it was very hard to tell them goodbye. You would think after telling them goodbye so many times that it would get easier, but I almost think that it is harder. Part of that could be the fact that Katie is getting married and I will no longer be around to help with the wedding plans, which I thought for a while I would be ok with but now I am not so sure. Here are a few pictures that my sister took of my new house, sadly though she didn't get any of my 3 roommates. Outside bedroom

Place to Live!!

I went down to Salt Lake and a few surrounding cities today with my family. Part of it was to look at a house that I was interested in and also to give Katie a chance to look for her wedding dress. Yes she is getting married the end of August. It was an exteremely fun day taking in 2 bridal stores, Deseret Book, The Distribution Center, the house in Bountiful, and not to mention a ton of time in the car, but we got a ton done and I loved the house. It was perfect and can't wait to move in 28 days. Its only about 10 minutes away from my new job which is perfect since I wasn't looking forward to any long commutes. I have to thank Keli for suggesting that I look at KSL.com which is where I found the house. I owe you big time. Here is a picture of the front of the house and one of kindof what Katie's dress is going to look like. There are some alterations on it and color changes. Also I didn't realize at the time but we only got one picture of her in the dress and not a very good one.

New JOB!!! now on to finding a place to live,,,

YEAH!!!! I am so excited and on cloud nine right now. I went down to North Salt Lake and Sandy for two different interviews today and on my way home found out that I got the job in North Salt Lake working at the KinderCare teaching Kindergarten and working with the school age children. This is the job that I wanted so it makes it all even more exciting. Now I just need to find some place to live. If anyone knows or hears of anything in the North Salt Lake-Bountiful area please let me know. My job starts the first part of June.

The Job hunt has been narrowed...

After a lot of prayer, searching, and though I have come to the decision that I am going to move to Utah as soon as the school year is up here. That being that I find a job and some how come up with the money that is needed to get a place to live. I know though that this is the right choice for me right now and that everything will work out as long as I keep faith and do everything that I can. I am extremely excited, yet scared at the same time. When I finally got up the nerve to tell my parents they didn't believe me. I actually told my niece who was at our house that our little secret ( I told her a few weeks ago) wasn't a secret anymore. She then went and told my mom. My mom proceeded to tell her that I wasn't and I was just trying to scare her. She came back into me and asked again if I was really moving I told her yes. She then said she was sad and that she didn't want me to move cause if I did she couldn't play my Wii. I felt so loved. When my brother (her dad) came to get her she told him and he also didn't believe her neither did my sister when I called her. My dad was the ony one who did, but he didn't really say anything. I really don't know why they don't believe me but I am dead set on this, and I am going to do anything I can to make it happen. In the mean time if you hear of any jobs or places to live please let me know.

Job hunt begins

I have know since September that I was going to need a different job starting in June . My job is just a one year job due to the high enrollment with the kindergarten at an elementary school. It's always been on my mind in the back of my head but with the economy the way it is and how hard it is to find work I am a little more scared about finding a job so I'm asking for some help from everyone. If you hear of anything in the Child Care /Preschool related fields or anything to do with cake decorating please let me know. I am up for anything or anywhere. I know it's still early but right now I don't think that you can ever start looking to early.

miracle of prayers

Today my ward has its ward conference and as my Bishop was giving his talk he said something that got me thinking. He was talking about the faith little children have when they pray, and I started to think about the children that I have come in contact with in my life but especially my niece Mia when she prays and knows that Heavenly Father will answer her prayers. Just before my sister in law got pregnant with my adorable nephew they Mia would pray every night that she would have a baby brother or sister (sometimes and). The way things were with Cindy her chances of getting pregnant weren't very good at all but Mia prayed for months that she would be a big sister. The day that Cindy found out that she was, Mia told me that Heavenly Father was answering her prayers, and then her prayers turned to thank you for giving me a brother or sister. I look at her now with her little brother who she loves more than anything and I am strengthened because of her faith to know that prayers are answered and that Heavenly Father is there to here our prayers.
I then started to think about a more recent experience with her in November on her night to stay with me as she was saying her prayers she said to bless Aunt Katie to go back to church. This isn't something that we had talked about at all that night or really at all with her around. I had mentioned something in passing about Katie not going to church the Sunday before but honestly didn't think she was paying much attention. Still to this day if you ask her she prays that her Aunt Katie will go back to church. Her faith is so strong and she knows that everything will be OK, and will remind you of it no matter what. I hope that we can all have the faith that little children have and know that our Heavenly Father knows each of us and hears our prayers.
