TEMPLE BOUND 12/11/10

HAHA first off I just realized when I typed the date of it, it's 12 11 10...too funny! So I just had to blog since it had been a little while since I had. As a lot of people know I am headed back to the temple soon to do my endowments and some important work. I'm very excited and just got my stuff ordered (Thanks to my mother-in-law) and can't wait to get the show on the road. But I have to be honest at the same time...part of of me is still very sad. Half of me is excited and half of me is sad and it's quite a bittersweet moment. Any time I've ever did something that was extremely important to me, my family no matter what was there to support me including at my baptism. Unfortunatelly, they cannot come to the temple with me. I understand the reasons and I understand that they don't believe in the same things I do and have their own faith, but it still stinks. It's automatic for me to run to my family to say hey I got this big thing I want you to come to but in this case, all I can do is try to explain to them to the best of my ability what and why I'm doing what I am doing without saying too....which won't be too hard since I don't even know everything I'll be doing, hehe. So I just had to be honest in throwing it out there that while I'm excited for this moment very much, I'm also missing the people that should be there but can't.

Now, the person I did ask to escort me was my mother-in-law, Shelly. I'm honored to have her there with me. She along with Dan have been there through the entire process with me and she helped me out BIG TIME with my baptism with speaking at it, getting it together, and even bringing food and drinks along with a few others :) So I felt it was only right to have her there at the single most important moment in the temple at least until Dan and I get sealed :) Okay well I'm done for now...chao! :)

This is Jack, the "special" o lantern. Haha...Dan and I thought we could do this with a knife and spoon...umm yea didn't turn out like we had hoped. Next time, were buying the pumpkin kit.

My princess Lola as one cute sailor :)

Dan Marino and his security officer LOL. They both went trick o treating with us!

Of course I just had to add 1 more picture of Lola. Our dogs are seriously our kids...and I'm pathetically in love with them =)

SOOOO I don't feel like typing a whole lot but I just had to vent about last Friday. It was a HORRIBLE day! I had just gotten a job a couple of weeks ago at the Mouse Trap and things were going great so I thought. After I finished my shift, lets just say, things didn't work out and I end up walking out bawling my eyes out. I was so upset because I had just gotten the job and was working really hard to earn money. Dan and I needed that money and in a flash it was gone. I didn't "love" my job...but it was a job and I was willing to do it because it paid money. So after that I went to my 2nd part time job at school. I talked to an advisor and found out the details of why my 112 hr practicum would NOT transfer, putting me an extra semester behind and my graduation date is set for Spring 2012. After all of this, plus going off of little sleep from working both jobs and going to class that day, I just felt very down on myself for the entire night. Hubby came home and that weekend I began a strong search for another job. And to my surprise, I filled an application out on Monday, turned it in, asked to come back later for an interview, went back and walked back out with a job...all in 1 day! I was amazed! Did I mention it's for Bath & Body Works? Did I mention I LOVE Bath & Body Works AND not only do I get a discount there but also at Victoria's Secret? It was great! Today was my orientation and the girls are so sweet! And I'm just absolutely in love with our products! So far so good! Now let's just hope it stays this way!
