What a FABULOUS day!

I feel like I only write on here when I have a good day, so it's basically taken almost a full week to get a good day in there. Grrr!! The work week has been going ok. I actually got moved into a different row, and found out that I will be sitting next to one of our mean managers, Robert. I am trying to be nice, but we do not share the same values at all, so maybe it is something God set up for me to witness to Robert. Guess who sits on the other end, if you guessed Scott you are right!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! He is already driving me crazy, but he does it in a joking manner. My other manager Jason sits on the other side, and he is SO funny!! My new hires are doing really good too, and I think I got one of them cold sick, whoops!! Also my friends get to sit by me, but they haven't yet, since the girl who sits next to me right now is going on maternity leave soon, she is hugeeeee (I mean this in a wonderful way!) and very uncomfortable, so no one has been able to sit by me, since she doesn't leave until after the posse members come in. Jessamyn has class every other day, and she has a split shift and i wanted her to sit by me tonight when she got in, and I held her zip log as a hostage, and she had to pay a ransom of sitting next to me, but it didn't work out since my shift was about to end, so I let her off with a warning!!! Today Corey (big football guy owner!) started a petition againt me putting jokes in our daily meeting notes at work, since i have to use kid jokes, and everyone thinks they are stupid, but a lot of people didn't want to, which mad me feel better. But it was really funny. Most of the posse signed it willingly, which I yelled at them about!!!! Ha ha! The Twins are almost done wtih there season, know what am I going to talk about?!?! They had a rain delay and Joe played for the first hour, and then didn't continue, so I was kinda bummed about that. The did good tonight though, and won, which was exciting and nail bittting!! It was a close 5-4 win!!! Tomorrow I am going to Sara's afterward for a sleepover, which I am SO excited about!! Then on Sunday I am going to hang out with Suzie and then go to Vespers, so I have a great weekend coming up, and pay day tomorrow!!! So I bet I will have lot's to tell you guys!! PLUS Yes, there is more!!! THE SKATING SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!! YAH! I love to watch skating, in case you couldn't tell, so yah, but anyway stay safe, and love ya all!!

What a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Where can I begin, okay maybe the start of the day?!?! When mom forced me into doing Sunday School with the Kindergarteners, I was less than thrilled, but now it is just fun!! The kids are so cute, and I was talking to Suzie about it earlier, but maybe I should consider doing something with kids?!?! Not sure yet! It could be just a phase, or a love-hate thing! We shall see!! After that I went to church, which was good, I hate to admit but it was so hot and full of people, that it was SO hard to pay attention! After that I hung out with Suzie, and we made plans to go to Vespers tonight!! Then I hung out with the parents for a bit, and watched the Twins win! That was exciting, it was also a little sad because it was the last game at the dome for the season, and no one is sure if Torii Hunter will be back, so they did some stuff for him, but it was very sad!! After the game, I met up with Suzie at Perkins, and as usual, it was fabulous! We just seem to start talking where we left of last!! Good times, we just seem to be going through the same things right now, struggling with patients for a Christian spouse, but we are like encourager/prayer partneers, which I love!! Then Suzie suggested we go to Munisinger Garden and walk around since we had time to spare until Vespers (which is the best part of the day, so keep reading!!) More talking, and walking, and praising the Lord!! It seems that we can spill problems to each other and encourage each other. When were over at the dam, when we started talking about being single (AGAIN!) when she suggested we just pray, so right there we held hands and prayed, it was great!! NOW THE BEST PART!!! VESPERS!!!! Needless to say it was amazing! Most of you know that when I worship I get very emotional, well it happened again!!! I just felt the Lord's prescence. There were a lot of people there, so it felt good to know that there are other Christians out there, and the worship was AMAZING! They actually dimmed the lights, so you couldn't really see the singers, which can distract me sometimes, especially if they are cute guys, but it just seemed like tonight was about me and God, and when Suzie saw me crying, we started to pray together! It was great, although I wish I had a kleenex, what with the tears and the cold, and all!! Oh well!! It was just so beautiful, and Suzie was saying how it is such a great way to start the week out, and I just really feel like that is the truth! I am so thankful that the Lord brought her into my life, when he did, even though I wish it was sooner, oh well!! After worship Suzie and I departed and know I am writing to let you know about my beautiful day!! I love you all, and if you are in the St. Cloud area, check out there Vespers at Discovery Church, it's wonderful!! G'night! :)

The weekend, cont.

Today I felt really hoarse, which I think was because of cheering for Joe coupled with my cold, so I spent the day in bed, basically. Got up super late Had a snack watched some TV took a cat nap And now it is 9:00, and I am ready to go to bed. I know that is crazy for me, but it is true Tomorrow, though I am going to hang out with Suzie, so that should be fun!!! Well, have a good night everyone, and talk to ya later! :)

Great beginning to the Weekend!!

The week is finally OVER!! YAh!! I got to leave work early today, since I worked later yesterday, so dad and I could leave for the game. WORK TOOK FOREVER! plus I am getting a cold!! Grrrr!! It was great leaving early and then dad and I went to the game and had a pit stop at McDonalds, which was good!! The game WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!! Joe was AMAZING! Earlier Scott asked me if I knew what happened, and I kind of freaked out thinking something happened to Mauer, but it was just Scott being, well SCOTT!!! Joe went like 3-5, and it was very exciting. It was good to spend some quality time with my dad. Usually when we go somewhere it's to a skating event, so it was good to go to a more dad event, so to speak with my padre!!! The guys that sat next to us were so funny. One was really annoying because he complained about Joe, but the other one was really funny. He was more of a surfer dude, that said Man all the time, which dad immitated later on, and it was funny!! After the game we went to Jackie's house because she needed us to take her car home, since she got a new rental car for work, and needed someone to take "Stephanie Judith Tanner" home to Kimball. She named her car that, crazy I know!! Well dad was wondering where we are going to put "Sadie" instead of "Stephanie" and I laughed because Sadie is Jackie's old roomates dog's name!!! When we got to Jackie's we found out that we had to go to her work (Northwestern College for those wondering!) and pick it up, and dad said it would be Bone-dry, meaning that there would be no gas in it, and that the gas light would come on as she as she turned it on, and sure enough it happened just like that. After we were transferring her stuff to her new vehicle, we lost her keys, so we had to search for them, and I found them- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! So all in all a great day, especially at the end with the fam!!! Weekend plans: Tomorrow: SLEEP IN!! Possibly hang out with Suzie or Paula Possibly be lazy because I am sick! Possibly go to st. cloud and work out or go shopping!! :) We shall see, basically tomorrow is a possiblity day!!! Sunday: Sunday School/Church Hang out with Suzie Bible study or vespers with Suzie!! YAH!! Well, I need to get some sleep, being the loser that I am, I am watching a repeat of the game on TV, to view Joe Mauer some more, and see if I could find me and dad in the crowd, not yet!!! I'll let you know!! Bye!

The great week continues!! (Happy b-day Salvy!!)

What a great week, even though it's only been 2 days!! Work was great again today! Training went well, and then just hanging out with my co-workers, and working too, has been so fun!! One of my managers kept hearing a strange noise around his desk that he described as a horse/pony/hybrid and everything else mixed into one!!! It was hilarious, and he had it timed too, when it did the weird noise, and everytime I went over there, we heard nothing!! It was absouletly HILARIOUS!!!! Things have been really great, but you can pray that I will rejoice in the Lord even when things don't go so well!!! Joe Mauer is again helping the twins win, even though the season is over in a couple weeks, and I am going to the game Friday!! YAH!!! SO excited!! Love ya all! :)

The good week starts!!

What a great day!! I have a list of what happened, ready?!? One of my favorite soaps was saved, and started up again today! YAH! Work was fabulous! Training is wonderful, new hire (Anne!) and I had a lot of fun, and did work too mom!!! She actually made me laugh when I was taking a drink of water which set me off, then her! It was funny!! Good conversations with co-workers, one of my managers is hilarious I told him he should have the Jason Crandall Show (that's his name!) and he said in 5th grade he was an actor working with Donny Osmond on the dream coat play in Minneapolis, which I didn't believe, but I guess it's true!!! Then dad called me at work and I found out Jackie is home!! YAH! She is obviously sleeping right now, but I was very excited!! So a beautiful day was had, oh and JOE MAUER HIT A HOMERUN IN THE GAME TONIGHT!! How could I forget to mention this!! YIPPEEE!!!! :)

Beautiful Day!!

I had a great day today!! It started with (technically!) getting a good nights sleep last night, and being able to get up for church in the morning. The service was good, worship was great as always!! Sunday School went well too!! After church I watched the Twins lose again, ahhH!! Joe didn't play though! Later that afternoon Suzie came over and we hung out! It was so fun! I am praising God so much for bringing her into my life, and just the great fellowship and conversations we have together are wonderful. We did make-overs, okay Suzie made me over, but it was still fun, even though the first try was quite drastic, just ask my dad! He kinda freaked out!!! :) Then we decided to go to her families church for a young adult bible study, it wasn't what I thought it would be, I really want an intense bible study, it was more like a video/disccusion, which was still good, but I think it's good that I am expanding to different groups, and just because one doesn't work out doesn't mean you can't try another one! I think getting the gutz to hang out with Suzie (when we first met!) and doing different things is really good for me, and something I wouldn've done a year ago!! After that, the small group, went out for a later supper and even though it was a bit awkward, it's still good to know that there are other Christians out there!

I usually get lost from Clear Water to Kimball, but I didn't so that was good news, and I am know in my GET READY FOR THE WEEK ZONE, so I feel good about that!!

Not much else to say, but "Told ya so!" that i would update, I'm that weird!!! Love ya all! :)

Sorry it's been awhile AGAIN!!

Things have been going really well!!! Training the new hire (Anne!) has been great! She has been catching on, and it's just been wonderful!! Yah!! The twins not so good, Joe is playing yes, but they've been kind of not doing so well, and dad got tickets to a game next Friday, so that should be fun. I do hope Joe plays though, even though Scott said he hopes that Chris Heintz (Mauer's backup does!) Oh i would be SO MAD if he did!! I love my co-workers so much, we have so much fun together, they finally moved people into the desks next to me, so that's been fun! Yes we still work too mom!!! Little Zac wants to go with me to Twinsfest next year to meet Joe, except I won't let him since I know he will be SO mean to him!!! Today was a great day!! I was lazy and lounged around!! My parents went to my brothers football game, and I had the house to myself. I watched the Twins, some skating, read, and did nothing. Tomorrow I have church (duh!!) sunday school, we shall see how that goes, and then Suzie is coming over after church to hang out since we didn't go to Campus Crusade last week!! We are trying to find a more intimate setting, and a more bible study type group because CRU as they call it is more geared toward freshman and it's like they don't want to push God on the students, which is exactly what I want!! Ha ha!! So I will keep you updated on that! The twins play tomorrow, so maybe I will see a bit of that before Suzie comes over, I'll keep you posted!! Love ya!! :)

Work went wonderfully well today!

Yah!! I am actually training a new girl who is SO SMART!! It is so wonderful! Also I had many people near me, so that was great. Zac sang again, and it was to "Awesome God!" and did the actions again! I told him to come with me to meet Joe Mauer next year and he said he would, but said he would be mean and call him a pansy, so I think I am going to uninvite him! Also the Twins won today, and Joe did great!! Yeah! Also, I just want to say that obviously today is 9-11, and that I was actually on top of the world trade center tower in august of '01, if I could figure out how to post pictures i would, but please pray for those family members who lost loved ones. Our country is so wonderful isn't it, I am so excited for when they rebuild the towers! It will be great! So many great heros in our country! God has indeed blessed America! Sorry to be so mushy!! Have a great rest of the week, and remember when you think you are having a bad day, there are more important things going on in this world!! LOVE!

Okay start to the week!!

Sorry I haven't posted all weekend, like I promised. Let's start with Friday night! I watched the Twins game with my dad, and they lost, still no joe, but don't worry he came back on Sunday!! Yah! Then on Saturday I had to work, and it was actually a good day! Had some fun with other co-workers, so that was good! Zac was wanting to sing a song, so I told him to start one, and then he started rapping, and I said, "Don't do a rap song, do a Christian song, like Jesus Loves Me!" He remembered a Christian song, I just can't remember it right now, and then actually said he could do the actions, which was so fun to watch!!! Jackie was home Saturday, and she woke me up and we slept in mom and dad's bed for awhile, some how we always end up in there bed, which is fun! She was supposed to come meet me for lunch, but wasn't feeling too well, so she just went home, which was sad! On Sunday I had to get up for the early service, since mom and I were doing sunday school (for the next 12 weeks!) and needless to say things went good. It was actually fun too! I spent most of yesterday relaxing, when Suzie came over and we hung out for awhile, and then she wanted me to go with her to her brother and sister-in-law's house, which was fun. Her little nephew is SO cute!! Suzie then spent the night, and we had an impromptu sleepover, it's always great to hang out with her since we have so much in common. Work went okay today, when I actually go there I found out that the system crashed, so that was cool. It was down for a few hours, so it was nice to get paid to do nothing! I got to catch up with some other co-workers that I don't see too often, since I am in my lonely, little corner!! Towards the end of the day though, I just felt really crappy and moody, so I am really glad that I was by myself, since I am trying to be joyful and happy!! But at least the day is over!! I start working with a new hire tomorrow, so I am anxious about that, but sure it will go well! Then this coming weekend, I think I am going to a Twins game with my dad. Also, I am going to go to Campus Crusade with Suzie, but after talking with her, I think we both want to find something a little more intimate and bible study orientated, so we shall see, and pray, of course, for what happens!! I love you all, and promise to update more!!! HA ha! :)

Good week with highs and lows!!

I am so sorry that I have not been a good blogger lately!!! That is so horrible, that it's been a week. Work has actually been going very well, so that's good! Actually the training is going well, since the guy I had problems with kept deciding not to show up, so he got the boot. Which I feel badly about, but we all pick a scheduled time, so it's only right to show up. The woman Karen I am training is very nice, and really funny. She reminds me a lot of aunt Jan, who lives in NYC. To aunt Jan everything is "Marvelous, wonderful, and spectacular..." and all those outrageous words. I actually asked Karen where she's from, and she said MN, so.... The other day I was listening to the Twins game at work, and Mike Redmond (who is Joe Mauer's back-up catcher, since he's been hurt!) was at the plate and the count went 3-2, and then Redmond went down with a injury to his finger, which he's been kind of dealing with, and then they called Joe to come to the plate and finish for Redmond, since he couldn't play, so I was FREAKING OUT! This was Joe's chance to hit a homerun and prove to the guys at work how much better he is then Redmond, then all the guys ended up coming over to my desk and listening with me, as Joe struck out! Not one of my finest moments, but it was actually pretty fun to "share" a Twins game with those crazy guys! Work has been going greating with the Posse. Actually Zac and Salvy got to sit by me yesterday, and we had so much fun! They even want to plan to hang out sometime this weekend, so that should be fun! I've been taking my camera to work and I am going to post fun work pictures when I finish the roll!!! :) Yesterday I went with Suzie to Campus Crusade, and needless to say it was good. The worship was very good, I think just being one with the Lord and singing his praises is just a wonderful thing. I could feel the Lord in the building last night. But the thing is that Cru (for short!) is more geared toward students, so I kind of felt out of place, so we shall see what happens. I actually ran into a guy from my high school who was there, so that was cool! After that Suzie and I went to Perkins and talked for like 3 Hours, as usual! It is so wonderful to be lifted up by other Christians. I never really had a close Christian friend before, besides my sister, and it is so wonderful to know that every Christian has struggles, but it helps to pray about it and to encourage each other!! I am so blessed! On the down side, it's been kind of a crazy week, better than last week, for sure! But you can definetly pray for me! I am very much enjoying my day off, and usually Saturday's are not bad, so I am excited to get this week over with, and my sister is coming home tonight, so that will be fun to catch up! Usually she comes home on a weekend I have to work, and this is not different, talk about bad timing! Well, my mom is going to be home soon from work, about time she got back there! Just kidding! But you can definetly pray for both of us because we are starting to teach Sunday School this week, and needless to say the kids can be terrors, so PRAY!! I love you! :)

Fabulous weekend, continued!!

It's almost time to go back to work, AHHHHHHHHH!!! I don't want to, I do feel good, because I have been pretty much taking it easy! I actually feel caught up on sleep, which never happens for me! At least it's technically a short week! I work tues, wed, and thursday, and then have Friday off, but work Saturday. Then I found out sister is coming home on Saturday, which is the day I work, it always seems that she comes home when I have to work!! Grrr!! Yesterday was a good day. Sermon was very wonderful, we started Revelation (no S!) and I just finished reading it, so it will be nice to figure out what the heck I read! My mom did rope me into helping her out with Sunday school, so hopefully that is fun! I also went ME shopping, since I haven't done that for awhile. I had a list too, and I got absoultely nothing. I decided to work out too, but forgot my tennis shoes, so I basically accomplished nothing in St. Cloud! Oh well!! Let's see, what else has happened! Kev got home from camp today, and we hung out and then he is skipping classes tomorrow to participate in my days fantasy football draft, which I think is funny!!! You can certainly pray for me to survive this week! I will update you on how well (?!?!?) my new hires do! Twins have been sucking it up lately, I'm beginning to think they are done for the season, but we shall see!!! I'll keep ya posted! Good luck to everyone going back to work and school! Love!

The LONG weekend FINALLY!! :)

What a fabulous start to the weekend. If you want to know what I did today, I will sum it up to you in one word!!! LAZY!!! I slept in, and just relaxed with the family. My dad was watching some random magic show, which we used to watch when I was little, so that was fun! Dad went and got pizza, and I've just been relaxing and wishing the weekend to continue to go slowly. Now since yesterday's post was so negative, I am going to write about some positives that happened yesterday! I got to eat breakfast with Suzie and it was wonderful as always! Dad and I watched the twins win last night on TV!! FINALLY the weekend! So it was good and mostly bad, but I just wanted everyone to know that I survived!! Rest of my plans: Tomorrow: Church Nap Twins game Maybe go shopping?!?!? Hang out with co-workers, not sure! Monday: Sleep in (hurray!!) Hang out with sara, I think! Well have a great Labor day weekend, and I will update you guys more as the weekend continues! Love ya!

What a day!!! (Shaking head!)

Some of you might now that I had a HORRIBLE day today! It actually started with me not being able to sleep at like 3:00 in the morning, and I had plans to go out for breakfast with Suzie, so I got like 4 hours of sleep. Breakfast was fun though, but before we went in one of my favorite flip flops (if you know me, I LOVE FLIP FLOPS!) broke! I was so devasted!! I should've known then and there that the day would not be good. After breakfast I actually had time to get ready for work, and work was fine when I got there. But I am working with a new hire and needless to say it didn't go very well. He is really nice and all, but he NEVER shows up on time, and he is supposed to be on his own next week, and I am just like, "Uh oh!" But we shall see!! There's also a problem with training him due to a language barrier, ahh!! Not fun!! When I escaped for lunch, I discovered I forgot my lunch, so I thought I would go over to McDonalds and get a sandwich or something, well it took me FOREVER to get over there, and it's not far from work, and then a guy started honking at me, and I was not in the mood. I almost rolled down the window right there and said, "I can't go, you idiot! Do you see those things on the road, called CARS coming at me!! Hello?" Well, I finally made it across to find that McDonalds was packed, and that there would be no way I would get a sandwich a back to work on time, so I remained super hungry all day. By this time everything was stacking up against me! Ahhh!! I just wanted to scream, so then I proceeded to back out, and a guy decided it would be funny to speed right by me, so I almost go into a accident. Yah, I was kinda mad! By this time I was close to tears and called my daddy. He was able to calm me down by saying he was having a sucky day at work too, and that my mom called earlier in tears about my brother not liking school! I actually laughed when I heard how badly of a day it was for the Sommers family!!! I gathered my composure and made it through the rest of the day! I went to work out afterwards and that felt good, I worked out hard too, to throw my frustrations away!!! Also the twins had a double header game today, and they lost the first one (in the afternoon, which was not a good time for me!) but they one the last one! Yah!! So my day ended up being good, know I just don't want to go to work on Tuesday! Please pray for me! I am super tired, so I am going to go to bed! If I think of anything else to add to my bad day list, I will add it, trust me!!! Love ya!
