Moving forward

So here I am at 3:30 am starting this blog post when I should be sleeping. I will admit to being tired, but I just wanted to do a quickie update (well maybe slow) and fill y'all in (since I have discovered a few people actually read this...surprise!) on this week.

Work is volatile again, but luckily for me I am not the target of the petty high school drama that is going on. I will not divulge any details, but I will say I have done a small part to try and help those caught in that icky mess. I have my fingers crossed for them and I hope things look up. Also we got an 800 number call and the guy totally blasted my boss on it but praised two other managers. That isn't the first drama I mentioned, but I was shocked that it happened as it did. I feel bad for my boss, but I also feel kinda bad for the other managers mentioned. :/ tis no bueno all around.

I finally finished Barbara's Bridal Shower invites and once the stupid computer gets fixed I can print them and send them off..well that's if she ever gets me the addresses I need! I want to send them Wednesday next week at the latest so I need them asap!!! We also have to get (or possibly make) her veil and I have to finalize the shower and the bachelorette party details. SO LITTLE TIME SO MUCH TO DO!!!!!!

I am going to Salt Lake this weekend for a visitation and some other things!!! I will be leaving Saturday evening and coming back tuesday morning. I am so excited and absolutely can not wait to see everyone! This means photos and memory making!!!! I am taking this opportunity to visit them because for my birthday I am visiting family in California. Yes, I am doing a lot of visiting. There is a valid reason, so quit looking at me like that!!

Sadly today was SUPPOSED to be the day I got either a Green KCCO or a BFM, but alas theChivery crashed and when Erica finally got through they were sold out in my size!!! WAAAAAAH!!! I so greatly wanted one (or both) as a birthday present. I'm going to be cool thougn and not complain outside of this post. I congratulate whoever managed to get one. Chive On good Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welp...i'm beat. Night all!! Or morning if you want to be technical!

Greatness occurring....

Life has suddenly become this busy and fast whirlwind of awesome for me.

Barbara is getting married next month.
Colton in Tennessee.
Abe leaving in a few weeks for Basic.
I'm training for the Color Me Rad 5k in November AND I have another really big life event beginning to occur that I am not quite ready to divulge yet, but will be really soon.

I have been mind-numbingly happy and motivated like none other in just the past day and I know it is only going up from here! It let's me know that I am finally(again) on the right path. It's now or never and I am choosing now! It has been so amazingly life changing.
I went through a period of just being so absolutely clueless with what to do with myself and now it's like "Alright! Let's get to it!" It is hard not to be down on yourself when you feel like you are just kind of aimlessly wandering through life you know? Sunday was this hugely massive turning point for me.

Elder Holland gave such an inspiring and wonderful talk on Sunday that super charged my already amped up batteries. Here are some of the major points that stood out to me:
1. True disciples of Christ never check their religion at the door. We must continually live the gospel and live what we believe.
2.We have to wish to be strong. One can not simply gain strength overnight. We must want it in order to have the will to acheive it.
3.The church will not and can not dumb down it's doctrine for what is deemed "socially/politically" correct.
4. NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO IGNORE GOD.
5.We must help when and where we can no matter the situation. Nothing something is better than doing nothing.
6.Live the gospel big and small at all times, in all things, in all places, in the hopes of being caught in the act when the Savior comes.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Smive it all

Tonight/Today's post is just going to be more of a ramble on of updateness and random tangents...more than usual.

First I have two things to share.
1.Sea Turtles can breathe out of their butts
2.Smive was the "f" bomb of the olden days. Classy no? I have decided to use it. Bringing it back!

I cried yesterday....well Monday nightish...I logged onto facebook and there Isee photos of my cousin (whom I LURVE) and her college adventures (moving in and whatnot) and lo/behold there is MY father (hers passed) helping cart her stuff to the dorm. Now this would be a total "AAW" moment to you uninformed, but it wad a total "Really." moment for me. My cousin is really like my second cousin's kid...meaning hed dad and my dad were cousins. My dad also dated her mom before she and Uncle Danny hooked up...yeah...we keep things close in the family...anyways since Danny died my dad has essentially been playing dad to my cousins (there are three in that family) and whilw it is nice, it is really not his place.
especially when he has three children whom he really.doesn't do much for. Sure I'm on his insurance, but you don't see him doing much else. The man can never seem to "help out" whether it is financially or whatever, but he has plenty of money and time for them.

Thanks Dad, have fun with your new family...hope your wife doesn't mind.

Also my best friend Colton (Yes THAT Colton) is moving to Tennessee in about...oh idk 6 hours or so. Yeah randomly called up and was like "Hey I'm moving" and I naturally went "Say what?" Lucky him got a job hook up out there and his brother is giving him time off for Barbara's wedding next month! Yay!!!! Time sure is flying with that! Oh!!!! She and Aaron got a truck, as in some BAMF gave them a truck as a wedding gift. Who the what?! I need to get married.

I learned eating nutella is delicious, but you can get sugar headaches from eating it straight. Also I can run for two minutes straight. Watch out!! Still working on the whole 5k thing so MY PLAN is interval running so far. I know I might not succeed in straigt running it, but I will run the majority if it kills me...which it probably will. Did you know that you don't blink normally when you are on the computer or if you are reading? Yeah weird huh?

Ok my eyes hurt and I am ready for bed methinks.
