Super fun day at work today!!

Little Zac, you better be reading this, like I told you too!! we had so much fun at work! I, of course, listened to the game, but the twins lost, which sucked! they are now 7 1/2 games out of the division race, lot's of people are thinking they are out, but they can still come back. Also, no Joe again!! Ahh!! I might be going to the game with my dad on Saturday, but not if Joe's not gonna play!!!!

I mostly hung out with little Zac, since he sits on the other side of my cubicle. I actually learned the appreviation for Rocorri school!!! It stands for all the towns that mostly go there. (Rockville, Cold Spring, and Richmond!) Funny, right?

Also, Zac then asked me what the population for his town Rockville is, and I told him I didn't know how many people. He then said, and get this, it's funny, "Not people population, but land population!" Who says that? I of course laughed SO hard!! It was such a fun day!

Not much else to add, getting ready for the weekend to come up, the LONGGGGG weekend! Yah!!

Love ya all! :)

Beautiful Weekend!

I had such a great weekend! Our family go together to celebrate Kevin coming home safely and that was so fun. I had plans to hang out with him after work tonight, but he "forgot" that school starts tomorrow, as opposed to Wednesday, so he left without saying good bye, which is SO sad!

We met up at Perkins, and hung out! Dad also put gas in mine and Jackie's car, boy are we spoiled!! She is not feeling well, so she went to the doctor for testing, and she still doesn't have the results, so please pray!

Work went good today! I was training some girls in a new procedure, and we had a good time. The twins lost though, and Joe Mauer injured his hamstring, so he is going to be out for awhile, which sucks. I won the bet I had with Zac, and he left 2.00 on my desk. YAH, I am 2 dollars richer!!

I am very excited about this weekend, no working at all until Tuesday! Yah!

Sorry for the double post, by the way! I am also going out for breakfast with Suzie on Friday, so that should be fun, I have to get up early for work, so it will be crazy to wake up even earlier for breakfast, but it will be so FUN!

Nothing much else to add, I promise to keep my "readers!" updated more periodically! Love!

Beautiful Weekend!

Wow, another update within 24 hours!!

I know it's crazy! Things have been going good! Work was fabulous, and last night Suzie came over for an impromtu visit, and it ended up being overnight, which was so fun! We got out our bibles and just studied together, which is so fabulous for me, since I don't have really any Christian friends, besides my family!

When Kev came home, we went to the old abandoned house down the road, since suzie wanted to, and it was really gross and scary!

We stayed up all night talking, but I got up just fine for work! Last night though, I stepped on a mouse in the kitchen, it was so NASTY! I screamed, and everyone was wondering what was going on!! Kev asked what he should do with it, and Suzie wanted to have a burial, which made Kev and I laugh, but we didn't! Turns out she was the hero, and released the mouse outside! So crazy times!

Work was fabulous. Sell-a-thon's are usually fun! We had some puzzles to do, and I got them all done, which took forever, and everyone kind of cheated though, oh well! Little Zac bet me 2 dollars, the twins would lose, and they won! I am 2 bucks richer, yah! But then Joe's out with another injury, this is so sucky! I'll keep u guys posted on his status!

Not much else going on, trying to sleep since I have nursery duty in church tomorrow, but obviously I haven't been successful!!

Well, family time tomorrow! Since Kev's home, I think we are meeing Jackie half way to the cities, so that should be fun!! Catch up with Jackie, and hear more about kev's time in Wyoming! I love my family so much!

I promise to post my adventures tomorrow, yes 3 posts in 3 days! I know what you are thinking! I love you all! G'night MINNESOTA!!! :)

Wow, it's been awhile AGAIN!

I'm so sorry!!

Things have been kind of crazy!! Going back to my normal schedule has been great! Good times sleeping in!! Even though we have a new seating chart, and no one sits by me, I am so sad, but I do like working nights!!

GREAT NEWS: KEVY IS HOME!! YAH!! He suprised us all by "stealing" his pickup, and then taking it for a drive. Mom freaked out, and told me to get dad, while I was about to, when I saw a bright green mountain dew sweater, which could mean only one thing: KEVIN'S Home! We had a great homecoming impromptu party! Mom was crying, and I teared up a bit! But of course as soon as we reunited and it was early morning, he went to see some of his friends! We are doing family stuff this weekend, but I have to work tomorrow, so I told him to make sure he hangs out with friends tomorrow!

Tomorrow should be a good day at work, it's the Kirby sell-a-thon and we have games, food, and prizes, so it's a very laid back kind of day!!!

Other than that things are going okay! I had plans to hang out with Suzie, but with Kev home we are going to be together! He leaves for school next week, so I at least want to hang with him for a couple days!! :)

Please pray for me, I tried reaching out to a non believer friend this past week at work, and I'm not sure if it did any good. Afterwards, I thought of so many more things I could've told her! Oh well, next time!!

Sorry for the lack of updates, please forgive me!! I will post more this weekend, despite the family celebrations!!!

GO TWINS! They play tonight, maybe me and my boys (dad and Kev!) will watch the game together! Fun times! Bye! :)

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ALMOST a week!!

it's been a crazy week, with lot's of ups and downs!!


UPS: (Not the mail truck!)

Hanging out with Suzie! It has been so wonderful! We really clicked with one wonderful common interest: GOD!! When we get together it seems we talk for a bit and then it ends up being hours!! She is so wonderful.


Training:
Been going very well! Tara (the new hire!) is doing great, so no worries!!


GOING BACK TO MY NORMAL SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK- enough said!!


Twins have been winning lately, so that's good!



DOWNS:

Work: More specifically my managers! There have been some situations with seating arrangements and it has very much upset me, other than that work has been going really well.


More training next week, which i think is wearing me out, sometimes I wish I could go back to my initial position and slack off!!!


At least there are more downs then ups! Nothing much else to say, ready to go back to my regular schedule!!

If there is something you want me to post, let me know, by COMMENTING!! ha ha!!



Weekend plans:


Friday: RELAX!!


Saturday: My buddy Erin is getting married, yah!!! Jackie will be home too!!


Sunday: Church, work plans possibly to go to Valley Fair-we will see there are many days still being thrown around, if not going to relax and watch the Twins game!!! go Joe!!

Love ya all!

Sorry I haven't updated y'all!!!

Things have been going wonderfully well this weekend. It started out with work going good on Friday.

I actually found out the girl I am training in is currently dating a guy that my sister graduated from high school with, and so we off course started talking about Nick being on Big Brother and all that, so that was kinda cool.

After work I met up with sara. She wanted to have me go to House of Pizza, since I'd never been there before. The only one in St.cloud is actually in sartell, and since Sara works in sartell, we decided to meet where she works, the only problem....

I GOT LOST!! I am HORRIBLE at directions!!! I finally found it though, and then we went to House of Pizza and it was not good at all, and so expensive!! ahh!!

After the food we went shopping, and then back to Sara's where we just hung out, and unfortunately watched the Twins lose.

We always have fun together though, doing weird and random things, so it's all good!!

Yesterday I didn't do much of anything. I sat outside with a book, and I was thinking of going into work for some overtime, but I just wanted to relax, so that was nice.

Get this... I am actually getting over a cold. Tell me who gets a cold when it's 90 degrees outside?!?! So my weekend has been coughing, sniffling, and getting over it!!

dad and I watched the twins game together, and he was rooting for the other team, and so we were winning until dad went to bed, way to go Dad!!! Grrr!!

This morning I went to church, and it was a really good sermon. Then I spent the afternoon FREEZING by the pool, and reading!! I got sick of watching the twins loose!!

Also, found out my new glasses are here, so I am going to get them tomorrow after work. They are so cute!!

Nothing much else to say....

Plan tonight is to watch big brother, even though I always said if nick was kicked off, I would stop watching it! oh well!!

Have a great week everyone!! Love you all!

Beautiful Day Again!!!

Good day at work!! Tomorrow is weekend, yah!! Work has been going great lately, hope I don't jinx it!

Even though the twins lost!!

I got together with Suzie yesterday and it is so wondeful!!

Will post more when I have time to breathe this weekend, since I have to work early FOREVER, when I will go back to days, is anyone's guess!!

Love ya all!

God is Good!!

Isn't he?


I had a beautiful day today!

Work went fabulously, especially training this morning. The group is fun, so it was all good. Apparently she is from Eden Valley, so I am training my high school rival!! Just kidding!

Then after training we had our meeting and it went great, we didn't get done with it until like 5ish, and then I went to lunch and was done at 6:00, but I did stay later, so it was good.

I miss all of my co-workers by working days! But hopefully soon I will be back to my regular schedule!! :)

Then I met up with Suzie and we've decided to meet weekly, so it has been so wonderful to be with another Christian, and talk about anything and everything. It is wonderful! We've been kind of like prayer partners, so that has been wonderful!!

We also went to the end of VBS at the church, and that was great to!

All in all, it was a great day and just glad it's Wednesday, and that much closer to the WEEKEND! Yah! although, I might be working Saturday, but that would be for the Kirby Sell-a-thon, so it will be fun, food, and games and not a normal work day!! We'll see!!

Well, have a good night everyone! I love you all! :)

The great weekend continues!!!

Beautiful day today, of course not weather wise, but right now I feel good. I feel like I have everything ready for the week. Usually it takes me until the middle of the week to feel good, and then just wanting the weekend to come (if I don't work!).

It was another day of mother and daughter. We went to church together this morning, even though she had to wake me up FOR A LONG TIME!! She kept honking at me in the driveway, we were only 5 minutes late mom!!!! :)

When we got home the plan was to lay out by the pool, since the weather was icky yesterday, and it stayed icky. Now it's supposed to be nice this week, perfect since I work all week. (I hope you get my sarcasm!!)

So I spent the day reading, watching the Twins win and get closer to the Central Divison title (Yah!!) and just being lazy. In all of my laziness, I feel like I got a lot done. Now for some good spiritual news. I just started reading Revelations, and before I started in the Message Bible it said it was going to be hard to read, and if you skip over stuff you don't understand, watch out, BUT......

I hope I am not jinxing this, but I am on Chapter 3 and understanding it. I will have to converse with Jackie and see if I actually am, but I was very excited. Soon I will be done reading the whole bible a chapter a day, which I am glad about, and now excited to start over since I have the Message bible to help me out. Jackie bought it for me for my last birthday as soon as I was getting into the New Testament, bad timing, so it will be nice to dig deeper.

At church this morning I talked to Suzie and we are planning to meet at Bela's (coffee shop in Kimball, I know what you are thinking!!) so that will be fun. I kind of feel like we are playing prayer warriers, which is a great feeling. She also has some friends who go to Campus Crusade on SCSU campus, and they want me to come too, it starts when school does, but I am very excited and I really need something spiritually, so it will be GREAT!!

Please pray for me this week. I am kind of in charge of a meeting on Wednesday, with my training group, which is just Todd and Kasey, so I know it will go fine, but I kind of want to knock there socks off, since it's the first meeting we are having, since I suggested it, and I do have some good points, but my proofreader (sister Jackie) decided to go out of town for the week, so hopefully it goes okay!

Well, nothing much else to add to my LONG post!!! So, I think I am going to get some sleep. We don't have any new hires to train tomorrow, but I am working a little later, so it will be nice to sleep in, since I have to work early for the next 2, maybe 3 weeks! I think I will have a party at work when my time is up!!!

Pray for training and the meeting!! Good night!!

Super Fantastic Day today!!

It was just me and mom, and with the weather bad we were stuck inside. I watched TV, read a book, and did ABSOLUTELY nothing!! It was great. I slept in and woke up when I wanted to, and not by my stupid alarm clock.

The twins won today, so that was pretty cool!!

Nothing much else to say, but I better get to bed since I have church in the morning!!

Love ya!!

I promise a long post is coming!! Ha ha!

S

Good day today!

Very tired!!


Ripped my contacts, so i'm wearing glasses!! Which stinks!


Pray for me at work. and if I keep complaining, tell me to shut up because there are more important things going on in my backyard (okay, my sister's backyard, if you want to get technical!)


Nick got evicted from big brother! SUCKS!!


Twins lost, ick!


Did I mention i'm tired?!?! I'm going to bed, and going to enjoy the whole weekend with my mom!!

Love ya! Will post longer post later!!

What a BEAUTIFUL day!

The Lord is amazing, isn't he? Work was very good today, so I was glad about that. after talking to my training manager about some concerns I had about my training abilities, he said, "Not to worry. It's not you, it's her!" Her being the girl I am training. She did better today, but I thought it was my fault, she wasn't doing so well, and Todd was saying it wasn't, since the guy I am training is doing well!!! Yah!!

Still can't believe the whole bridge incident. dad told me president bush is coming on Saturday, so that is pretty crazy. Please continue to pray for the families and everyone involved in this.

THE BEST PART:

I asked Suzie Murray (girl from church, good friends with my sister and brother!) to hang out with me today, and we went to Mongo's grill, which was fabulous, and talked for hours. It was great. It was so wonderful to open up about anything spiritual with someone that is not a family member, I still want to talk to you too jackie!

When I found out that we had been there for hours, I could not believe it. It's so hard to work in such a negative atmosphere, but then to be with a Christian who is so hopped up on the Lord, was great. She is such a blessing, and is having me pray and think about some opportunites down the road.

I am so looking forward to this weekend. With working early, I am so looking forward to sleep in. also, since dad is going to cleveland, it is going to be a mom and daughter type weekend, so I am excited about that!

i love you all!!

Tragedy of Historic Proportions!

i cannot believe this! The bridge on 35W in the cities collapsed tonight. It always seems when I hear about horrible things, like Sept 11th, I don't believe it, until I see on TV, which is so scary!!

The most horrible thing though, is that I HAD A HORRIBLE DAY AT WORK! I feel awful for saying this because it seems so petty compared to everything else that has happened today.

I am going to tell you about it, however:

I feel that sometimes my managers take advantage of me. My new hires are not doing so well, I was left alone to take care of everything while the managers were in a meeting (even though I am not a manager!) my new hires are panicking and I can't help them because I need to help everyone else! When the managers came back, I went on break and literally cried for 10 minutes in the bathroom.

I feel so lonely, and i need prayers right now, as do the victims of the bridge accident. Maybe this is selfish of me, but since it is my blog, I am going to let loose with things going on with me.

I just am not sure about my future at my job, at least when I got home I found out my sister and my dad's relatives in the cities are all counted for. I think when I heard about the accident the first thing I thought of was my sister, and she is safe, so PRAISE THE LORD!!! I couldn't imagine anything worse happening at work, until I thought of maybe losing my wonderful sister. I LOVE YOU JACKIE!!

I think everyone should be praying for all the victims. I was talking to my dad tonight, and he didn't have a good day at work either, so it helps to talk with him because we both feel that complaining about work is not what the focus should be because of what is going on in the cities.

I need to go to bed. I love you all!

Tomorrow I am excited because I am getting together with a girl named Suzie from my church, and she knows about a group of Christians that gets together at SCSU during the school year, so I am excited that we can do that together soon.

PLEASE PRAY! I did love the story of the school bus with the kids during the bridge accident, and that they were all safe, so I thought that was so wonderful!

In his holy name!!
