Still surviving my new job!!

Keep praying! Hanging in there, just barely! Just HATE being the new person, and i miss my old co-workers!!

Tomorrow night Jackie is coming home, yah!! Very excited!

Love ya all! :)

I survived my first day!!

YAH!!!

It was good, bad, nerve-wracking, and stressful!! They have a TON of products, which is great for me to buy, but hard to remember EVERYTHING, granted it is just the first day!

The people are really nice though, and I recognized one of the ladies, as someone who I trained in at PCI, but quit, so that was crazy!!

At the end of training next week we are going to have a scrapbook and pizza party, so that was very cool!! The building inside, is well, very creative!!!

There are a lot of programs they use, and I do feel kind of stressed out, but I know when I get familiar with everything it will all be good!!

They have a gym, so I was going to use that, but found out that I can't cancel my gym membership and I don't get the discount anymore, so I am kind of upset about that, grrrrrrrr!!!

Will fill you guys in on more of the going on's at Creative Memories, when I know more myself!! Bye! :)

BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY!!

What a great day!

It started out with me running late for church, and I had nursery duty, whoops!! The person who is supposed to be there, was not, and I was late, so lot's of people thought there was no one in the nursery, which could be a good thing, since I only got 2 cute boys toward the end, and they played very well together.

Caught up with Suzie in between the service and sunday school. I actually felt the urge to pray for her and her ex-boyfriend last night, and then she told me that she saw him Saturday and it was kind of hard, I told her about my praying for her, God's amazing, isn't he?!?!?

After that mom and I (more mom!) taught sunday school and that was okay, Kids were kind of annoying, but oh well!!

After church mom and I went shopping for my first day tomorrow, and that was fun! We found a lot of clothes at Fashion Bug (AHHHHH!!!!) and then mom took me out to eat for lunch, so it was fun!

When we got home, found Suzie cleaning our house, doing dishes, and laundry, why?!?? I'm not really sure?!?!

We hung out for the afternoon, and then we took naps, and I watched skating, which wasn't very good.

I am now getting ready for starting my new job tomorrow! More excited than nervous, which is new for me?!?! I am requesting everyone's prayers! Found out Jackie is coming home wednesday night, and I am being trained in, in the morning, and then Kev is coming home this weekend, and now I AM DONE WORKING WEEKENDS!! YAH!! Well, keep praying! Love ya all!!! :)

PS!!!

Also, last deal I ever looked at for underwriting at PCI, was for Ali, and I asked for more income or a qualified cobuyer! SOME THINGS REALLY DON'T CHANGE!! HA HA! :)

Good last day at PCI! Sad, but good!

I jotted down some notes while I was at work for my last day at PCI, so here they are:

Woke up a little later than usual, but still go to work early. Got my bangs to look REALLY cute this morning! Got into traffic really well this morning, Good song on radio: Amazing Grace Version by Chris Tomlin, so that made me feel better. Last time parking in the lot, last time clocking in!! Not really sad yet, don't think its sunk in.

Emailed some buddies, saying basically what a sad day!! Started my meeting notes, last time I will ever do those! Kind of feeling nausecous, not sure how I am going to feel by end of day, if I will be crying or trying not to! Ernie just talked to me, asked if I was ready for my new job and all that, and then said we will talk later?!?! Not sure what that means!

I'm gonna go walk around and talk to some friends, it was fun! Hung out with Heidi and Corey! Couldn't find Vicki though, will have to talk to her later! :)

Was unplugging my radio, and I hit something on my computer, and then plugged it in wrong. Thought I lost all the sentimental stuff that I've been writing, but I still have it!! Yah! :)

Josh is over here bugging Robert, and it is kind of amusing!!!Doing some underwriting, and clearing more stuff from my desk! Looked at my first underwriting deal for the day for Quinn, and sent it to SH, some things NEVER change! :)

Corey just gave me a quiz to do about him, since I claimed to know him so well, and I failed, miserably!!!! It was pretty funny! :)

I sent out a group email just to say bye to everyone, and everyone was really nice!! Sent a personalized one to Josh, and he sent a nice one back!! Got an underwriting email from Josh, somethings really DON'T Change!! :)

How do you get in trouble on your last day, I think Ernie was joking, but he was all, "Do that on your break please!!" when Anne and I were looking online for ordering pizza! Kinda funny, I think so!! :)

Ernie sent around an email telling everyone it'll be a lot quieter around here without me, which was funny!!

Took a couple zips, and it was fun!!! One guy said that he hasn't talked to me in awhile, no idea who, thought that was kind of cool because he ended up being my last zip ever at PCI!!

This is getting ridiculous, Judy just kind of "yelled" at me because I told PCI that if they wanted any scrapbook stuff, to let me know, and she said I could get fired for that!!!

Lunch was REALLY fun and good! Only problem Anne had to answer the phones and we didn't eat together, but it was fun chatting with Andy Hoheisel!!

Corey tried to take the chair from out under me, but it didn't work, AGAIN, he tries a lot, and has never been successful!! YAH! Also Angie told him "That he took a ten, 17 minutes ago!"

Zac and Marta are sitting next to me, and I love them, I'm going to miss them! I just took a picture of Zac working with cute "oh" Mai in the background!!

Arnaldo just called Zac a "Mama's boy!" claiming he will never leave his mom's place! I'm gonna miss Arnaldo! :)

Of course the other bureaus went down! Of course, on my last day, when I'm working and I HATE THE OTHER BUREAUS! :)

Marta was humming "So Long, farewell, since that was the title of my "good bye" email!!"

I just said "bye" to the client liaisons: Heidi, Andy, and Corey! Still can't find Vicki!! I finally found Vicki!! YAH! :)

Started to say "Bye!" to people! Ernie gave me a hug good bye, which was kinda awkward. Scott told everyone there was a pot going for when I will be back. when Ernie asked him about it, he admited that it was just a joke, of course! Scott said he's going to miss the fun we had, which I think he was serious!!

Heidi came into work and then we went out to Perkins for supper together, Jessamyn was going to go, but her grandma just died, so I didn't push it!! Actually Heidi and I tried applebee's first, but it was so busy!

I still have some forms to return to PCI, so I will be back there on monday, probably, unless I go tomorrow!!

PCI has been SO MUCH FUN! I am going to miss everyone so much, but hopefully i meet others at Creative Memories!

Didn't do much else on Friday night, went to bed early, I know shocking, right Sara!!

Saturday:

Kind of an easy day, just taking it easy before I start my new job! Slept in, watched some skating and hung out. Then mom, dad, and I sat down and filled out ALL OF MY PAPERWORK for starting CM on monday, it TOO FOREVER, but it was fun too!!

Getting ready for bed!!

Sunday:

Church (nursery duty today, so gotta go early!)
Suzie is singing, yah, but I'm gonna miss it because of nursery!
I think mom is making me teach tomorrow morning because her voice is shot, so we shall see!

After church mom and I are going shopping for a new outfit for my first day, I'll let you know if we were successful or not! Not going to Vespers tomorrow night, since i have to work so early on Monday, and don't want to oversleep on my first day!

I feel like I am ready, not as nervous as I thought I would be, but that might change tomorrow night!! Will fill you guys in later!!! LOVE!!

Okay day today!

Tomorrow is my last day as a PCI worker!! How sad, I came home and cried because I had to say good-bye to some friends who don't work Fridays!

The morning started out not so well, kind of overslept, and then dad was watching the traffic, since they are doing some road construction around here, and it felt like when I was little and he always watched for the bus!!!! It brought me back!!

I sat by Roberto and Abby, and took a break with Jessamyn, and she found out her grandmother died, so she was going through a rough time, and eventually left for the day. Please pray for her and her family. Her grandma lives in the Phillipines, and Jessamyn can't go back because of classes and work. Her and I are getting together tomorrow night over my last day, but I am not sure if that is going to happen or not!!

Roberto ended up taking me out to lunch, so that was fun! He doesn't speak the best english, but it was still fun!!

Afterward though, it got really busy and I took some zips, but it is very hard to work with someone and be busy working on other stuff, so I am nervous about my starting a new job, and having to be the newbie!! AHHH!!

Also there is still some drama going on, and since it was so busy, there was not time to have fun!! I do hope tomorrow is a good day, but I am definetly going to need prayers, so please pray!!

I also gave my PCI Hermey figurine to Jason. He wanted it really bad, and even made a little bed for him. Jason told me to write up a Child Custody paper and he would sign it. I will try and copy and paste it, it is hilarious!! I had to say bye to Jason since he is off tomorrow, and I almost started to cry in front of him, he is so funny!!

Well wish me luck getting through my last day at PCI, and pray for me to get through that and my new job starting Monday, which no BREAK! Ahh!! thanks! :)

Much better day today!

But it is SO sad because I am getting closer to my time at PCI ending! I did get a package of information from Creative Memories to fill out for benefits, and insurance and all that, so I am getting excited, but a little nervous!

Had fun today! Sat by Jessamyn, Abby and Roberto in the morning. And then Amber came in, so obviously she sat by me, and then little Zac too! Less drama today, so that was good!

Took some more pictures. Found out that Hrba (Heidi B!) got moved closer to me, just a few rows away, and she was like, "Why now, when you are leaving?" my thoughts EXACTLY!

I am going to miss everyone so much! Salvy, Zac, Heidi B, Heidi S, Mai (pronoucation Oh my!), Jessamyn, Marta, Mishay, big corey, little cory, Scott (a little bit!), Josh, Abby, Isabel, Arnaldo, Tim, Maria, Giovanni, Jason (He's HILARIOUS!), Sheena and her plant Bruce, who is just holding on for dear life, Liz, and everyone else! I told Tim today that it felt like a big "PCI family" and he said that it would suck around the holidays because there are so many of us, I just laughed!!

It's gonna be SO HARD to leave, but I (right now!) am feeling good about Creative Memories. the only real concern I have is that I have been answering the phone for the past 3 1/2 years by saying, "Preferred Credit, this is Kristin. How can I help you?" Now I am trying to program myself to say "Creative Memories!" Don't worry, I will fill you all in on Monday night, as to what happened!!

Bye! :)

What a difference a day makes!

Didn't have the best day at work!! Too much drama! Please pray, thanks! :(

A great day was had at PCI!!

What a good day! I woke up this morning (actually this afternoon) kind of feeling sick, like "What am I doing leaving PCI, and the familar", and then later tonight it just hit me that I am doing something good for me. Maybe it was God telling me "I've always planned for you to work at Creative Memories, you just were stubborn and wouldn't listen to me, AGAIN!"

Today was great, my friend Heidi (hrba, PCI initials!) and I went to lunch together, and that was so much fun. Out of all my PCI friends I think we are the closest, and we just talked forever, and then discovered that we were late getting back! Her dad is going through some health concerns regarding his leg, so please pray! She is actually trying for my old position which makes me more sad, because she works in a different department, so I was like, "I wish you always worked in CP" because I am 100% sure she will get my old job, but then she reminded me that if I didn't leave she would still be in another department because that position wouldn't be open!!!

I am also working with Amber, the recently new hire, and I feel like she reminds me of me when I started at PCI, and I think I know in my head that going to a new job will be scary and crazy and nervewracking and all that, but if i give it time, like I did at PCI, after awhile, it will get better. I feel good that I am doing this for me, sure i love my co-workers and we have so much fun, but I HATE what I do, so I feel like I am doing this for me, and it feels good and scary, of course!!! My dad was telling me how proud he was of me because he's been at his job for 34 years, and that he said I had guts for leaving something I hate, but know, and trying something new. My dad and I are alike in that we both HATE change, sure I could stay at my job forever, but not be happy, but the bonus is that I can ALWAYS get together with my co-workers, sure it won't be the same as seeing them everyday, but if I get off my butt and call, we can make plans, and then I can do a job I love and meet more people that I will learn to love. I am very bad at getting in contact with people I don't see, but I think I am working at that. I've been trying for awhile to more involved and to reach outside of my little shell, since i deal with a very bad case of SHYNESS!! It's ridiculous! With God by my side, I can do anything or to be exact

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Phillipians 4:13!!!

Also, I have to remember my favorite verse, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself" Matthew 6:34b (A favorite of mine, and good reminder!)

Also, I was cleaning through my cubicle today, and I am such a packrat, that I found things I saved from 3 1/2 YEARS AGO! Crazy I know, but it was so fun to look at some old memories, and share them with others, and remember them with those who are still there. It was actually a lot of fun, since I thought I would be sad, but it was good! After I got everything organized, I set up kind of a store that I called "Used Goods Store" and emailed my closest co-workers and told them to come and get whatever they wanted. I had everything from pens to some old lotion that someone gave to me, I think Ernie, and it smells really bad and I think it's from literally 3 1/2 years ago, a lot of people got a kick out of it. I told people to come visit only when the store is open this week, when I work, and to come get stuff and hang out for a few minutes! I put a closed sign on my desk after I left for the night! It's going to be so sad to leave, but I have a c0-worker that worked at Creative Memories, and she has been telling me about all the great things to look forward to, which excites me!

BREATHE KRISTIN!!!

While I love you all, but I need to go to bed! More later! :)

A fabulous weekend HAD!!!

Wow!!! That's all I got to say! Okay bye! JUST KIDDING!!


This morning the worship was so good at church. A bunch of guys from our church sang, so that was pretty cool. Sunday School went well too! Got to catch up with some of my friends, including Jackie, who was the one who had the baby shower, so that was fun!

pretty much this afternoon was spent cleaning out my closest, watching tv, and lounging around. I also watched dallas win over the vikings, it's a family thing. I don't usually like football, but now I kind of do!!

Then I went to Suzie's place and she made me dinner! Her friend Jed was there, and he is SO HILARIOUS! We all had a good time. After dinner we played Taboo, and Suzie was giving me a clue and she said "Nice afternoon outside, and this object is colorful!" and right away I said, "A Kite?" it was so funny because Jed was like, "What the heck?!?"

After Taboo we went to Vespers, and it was great as always! the worship is phenomonal, and there was also a testimony tonight which was okay!

After vespers we all went back to Suzie's house, since her aunt was on vacation we had the house to ourselves, and we snacked and listened to Jed tell his crazy stories!! He proceeded to tell us about his cat biuses, not sure of the spelling, and how this cat was horrible. He said he was like an Italian mobster and a black gangsta all mixed together, and his voice impersonations were so funny. When he told stories, they literally took forever, but Suzie and I were eating popcorn and listening, and it felt like we were at a movie! Good times!

Now the week is coming up, and I am actually wanting it to go by SLOWLY! I think this is the only time you will hear that from me! I am going to miss my co-workers SO MUCH! But I feel good that I am transferring to another job for a position that I will enjoy, so I feel good that I am doing something, instead of just staying at PCI, because of the people! So PLEASE PRAY! I would appreciate it very much! Love ya all!

Good week of work: Week 1 since turning in my notice!!

Ahh, it's been a crazy week! I am sad, excited, nervous, and anything else you can think of regarding leaving PCI and going to creative memories.

I had such a good weekend.

On Friday I slept in, chatted and took a nap with momma, and then went to my friend Vicki's house, and that was really fun. Her daughter is SO cute!!

Then I worked my last weekend EVER, and it was fun! I sat by Marta and Cory, and we talked and hung out, and worked too!! Then I sat by Jessamyn and we talked and hung out! It's going to be so hard to leave everyone, but I am very glad to leave my underwriting, because it is so HORRIBLE!! I will be glad to be doing something different!

Well, I am tired, so I am going to go to bed!! LOVE!!

Hanging in there!

Hi guys! just wanted to let you know that I am hanging in there! I am very sad about leaving PCI, but kind of excited about what Creative Memories has in store for me. I am glad that I am leaving my little "shell" so to speak, but very nervous, so I would appreciate the double time prayers. Scott thought I put in a 2 day notice, which is weird, so on Tuesday as he was leaving, he said "It's been a privilege working with you!" then left. On Wednesday when he came in and saw me he was wondering what I was doing there. I told him it was a 2 week notice, not 2 days, who does 2 days?!?! I told him I was going to miss him in a way, and he said "That's too bad, it means I haven't been doing a good job!" He's crazy!

It's been kind of nice to be able to have the freedom to sit anywhere, so it will be fun to sit by different groups of people, instead of in my little corner!

I took Salvy and Mai out for lunch today, so that was fun. I am trying to plan to go on lunch dates with everyone this last week, so hopefully that happens. Zac said he was going to miss me, and that almost made me cry! He said we can text each other while we are supposed to be working, don't worry mom, I won't! :)

Weekend Plans:

I'm off tomorrow
SLEEP IN!!
Going to Vicki's house and she is going to make me dinner, told her think "plain", she's my dear friend from work, who i've known through PCI for about 2 1/2 years, or something like that.


Saturday:
Work
My last weekend to work EVER, no weekends at Creative Memories! I am kind of excited, but again very sad! :(

Sunday:
Church (I think Suzie is leading worship, very excited!)
Hang out with Suzie
Go to childhood buddy Jackie (miller) Klaehn's baby shower, I can't believe she is having a baby. Reminder to get a gift sometime this weekend!
Vespers
Try not to panick about last week at PCI!

I'll keep you guys informed of how things are going. I am probably going to have to go through my cubicle soon, which is going to be fun because of the memories, but very sad!

MY NEWS REVEALED!!!

I got a new job! I didn't want to jinx it or anything by saying it before they actually offered it. I am excited, but so scared, nervous, petrified, and every other nervousness word you can think of. I have been at PCI for the last 3 1/2 years, and will miss the people SO much. I thought it was hard telling my boss Ernie, but now telling everyone has been so sad!! I love the responses I've been getting, and it makes me feel good that people want me to stick around, but I really feel like I gave underwriting a chance (1 1/2 years!) but I just did not enjoy it. I keep telling my co-workers to come with me.

I feel good about the decision I've made, and actually I had to get drug tested this morning for Creative Memories, before going to work. I don't know how everything I go through something seems to go not well, but it ends up being funny. There were signs to not flush the toliet when done providing my sample, and what did I do?! That's right folks, I flushed that darn toliet!! I told the lady, and said "It was a habit!" but I think she was having a bad day and something like that might cause more trouble or something, oh well!!

I turned in my notice on Monday, so I have until next Friday, and some co-workers want to plan a going away party, but they always get so crazy and drunk, that I think I am going to say no, but I feel like crying sometimes because I am going to miss everyone, but I do hope that I make some friends at Creative Memories!! Please pray for me, I am very scared and could use the prayers and support! I will post more later, need to go to bed! Love ya!

What a FABULOUS weekend!!

Yah, so much to write!! I will start off by saying that Thursday went very well. Thanks for the prayers, it was actually nerve wracking and funny all at the same time, but that's a different story!

Friday:

Good day at work! Training went well with my new hire Amber, she is really nice and funny! After work I got home and Suzie was there, and we were waiting for Sara, so we could go to the Kimball football game. It was the first time they met, but it went really well!! The game was actually really fun too, and we sat by Penny, who is a friend of mine from church and she gave us wonderful relationship advice, I love that she always asks me if I am still batting the guys away, to me that is HILARIOUS, since there are like NO guys!! Oh well!! Kimball actually won too, and the game was pretty exciting, I got to see some old teachers and classmates, it's always a little weird to go back there, but it was fun!

After the game Suzie and Sara came over and we hung out and talked. I really wanted to talk to Suzie about God, and kind of plant a seed with sara, but I am not sure how successful we were!!

I woke up when Kev got home, and we talked for like 3 hours, it was great! I really want to develop a better relationship with him, and he said that he would take a bullet for me, and that he was sorry for being a jerk while growing up, and that he is know a "Family man!" it was pretty funny!! :)

Saturday:

Suzie spent the night Friday, since she had to work really early on Saturday morning, and this is horrible, but my alarm clock didn't go off, which GRRRR, was not good for her. Dad said it seemed like me being late, as usual, to work!!

After I woke up I was kinda lazy, and then I played football with Kevy. It was a lot of fun. I actually kind of discovered this weekend, that football isn't so bad, which is pretty crazy! Then mom joined us, and soon we all went to the back of the farm where the gravel pit is, and climbed up the hill. It was a HARD workout. Mom didn't make it up all the way, but the view from the top was pretty cool. Saturday was just all around great, just hanging out with my family, except Jackie, we missed you!!

After that I went to St. Cloud and worked out, so that was good, and then came home and went to bed early for church in the morning!! I know, still craziness!!

Sunday:

Church was fabulous this morning. Suzie was leading worship, and something my dad used to do when he lead worship was say "Sing it out now!" into the mike, and then step away so the others would not be able to hear his voice, and she said she wanted to do it a couple times, but didn't! I told her it would've been hilarious if she did!

The sermon was really good today and really tugged at me. Basically saying can you imagine your friends/family that don't know Jesus in Hell, and it really hit me hard because I am not the best witnesser, so hopefully it will get my butt into shape to start doing better!!

After church I took the family out for lunch out our towns dinky little restaraunt, but it was really fun! Kind of a time to drill Kevin on his life.

Then later Suzie came over, and we took naps, and watched skating, while she studied. It was a lot of fun, we ended up watching part of the Dallas Cowboys game, because I LOVE Tony Romo and then dad made us watch Rainman, since she had never seen it, but we had to go to Vespers in the middle of it, sorry dad!

Vespers was great, and now I am home writing to you guys! It was a great weekend, and I will fill everyone in SOON on what has been really going on with me! I love you all SO much!! Bye! :)

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!

Thank you, I love you all! Please comment so I know that other people are reading and PRAYING! Thanks! :)

WHOA, what a day!

Where do I begin?!?! How 'bout the beginning, so here it goes:

Training went well! The new hire (Amber!) is so nice, and she is catching on and it is her first day?!?! Well then I found out my training session was going to be monitored, and it could've gone a lot better!! AHHH!

Work was okay, just LONGGGGG!!

I have a lot of things coming up (which include a haircut, ahhh!) so I really need prayers, not so much for the haircut, but other things. I know I've talked about this before, but I would really love my little cave and snuggle up in it, and be left alone! I am trying to be more involved and letting go and being more out there, which I think is because of Suzie. It's been wonderful opening up to another Christian, and just being like, "I've missed out on this one on one Christian fellowship from someone outside of my family", so it's been great!

I am actually excited about this weekend, the plans include:

Kimball Homecoming Football Game with Sara and Suzie meeting, yah!

Hanging out probably at my house Friday night!

Saturday I have off, so I am going to hang out with brother, and I told him we better toss the football around, so that will be fun! Mom is planning another prodigal son day, get it (Sunday!) where she cooks and we are probably going to play cards, and just be together, JACKIE COME HOME!!! We are also going to be cleaning out the closet for the pony room (hooray, sarcastically of course!)

Also Vespers has been wonderful, and it has been so great meeting the other people that go there. I have been working early, and so far the getting up early has gone well, even though it's only been one day!!

I've just been feeling really overwhelmed with decisions about my future, and after the some what okay day today I just wanted to melt, so I hung out with mom tonight, and she is so great at helping me! I love her to pieces! We eventually ended up cuddling in her bed, which happens with every family member, trust me, fitting 5 grown adults (we are grown, ahhhh!) in there bed is a tight squeeze, but wonderful! We eventually talked everything out, and then she started doing her evil laugh, and it was just great to be LAUGHING after what has transpired this week, and it's only Tuesday. I told Sara I am going to start calling it the KFOS disease, which means Kristin Freaking Out Syndrome!!! It's true though, and I think God just is trying to get my attention and that when tough things are coming, or when I am struggling with something, he wants me to go to him and no one or nothing else, which is very hard, and something I am defintely going to keep praying about!!

I would appreciate your prayers too!! If you have prayer request, COMMENT and i will had them to my LONG list!! Love ya all, keep Thursday in your prayers!! :)

Well, tomorrow

Sorry it's been so LONG!!

Things have been crazy, but good!! Let's start with Thursday: Work was okay, not spectuacular, but some of the managers were in very good moods, so that helped!

I had Friday, which was great, I slept in, so that was very enjoyable. Also our computer has been kind of dumb, so my dad's friend came over to fix it! YAH!!!

Today I worked, and my day WAS FABULOUS!! I was in charge of our Lottery Ticket games, which was so fun!! Ann sat by me, and we started talking about celebrities and she used to live in LA and knows all the stars, I told her about meeting Kristi Yamaguchi, which you can't really say was meeting, because I didn't say anything her!!

I actually have something going on next Thursday that I need everyone to pray about for me. I will give more details out once I know something, but I am very worried and need the prayers and love!!

Tomorrow: I am going to church, and just going to relax, and then I am hanging out with Suzie, and yes Jackie we are going to vespers! We are meeting in St. Cloud, so we will FOR SURE go!! I have to train next week, which I am not to excited about, so I have to work early again! I have this coming weekend off though, and will be glad when all the craziness has cooled off. I am kind of excited about what is going on, but scared to DEATH!! You know me I worry about everything, even when I know God is here!! (DEEP BREATHES!!)

Well, have a good night everyone and I will probably update more because I will be working earlier!! Bye! :)

Good week SO FAR!!

Not much to report!! Work has been going well, but very S L O W L Y!!!!! Jessamyn sat by me today, so that was fun! Still have not heard Horse pony hybrid unicorn (Pause!) pigeon, and Jason said it happened when I was over at his desk and quiet, oh well! What can you do?!?! Jason said it was okay to be on his team as an honorary member, as long as I sent a list of qualifications and begged, basically to the others, and they said yes! I guess offering food goes a long way!! We are going to call ourselves the Hip Hop group, short for Horse-pony acrononyms, but not quite!!! I thought it was cool that my name won, and I was just voted in yesterday!! I have to work on Saturday, so I get Friday off, and with no Twins until next year, I am bored already. I put on my love station, which helps, but I love singing, and I sit by the managers?!?!?! Well hope you all have a great rest of your week! It's hump day tomorrow, meaning: It's Wednesday, and half the week is over, we just have the other half!! Bye! :)

Isn't God AMAZING! (Even though I struggle with praising him all the time, including the bad!)

How is everyone? Sorry I haven't posted all weekend, instead of being lazy, which I was in a way, I've been super busy!!! Also, the computer got a virus, so it's like our old one, nice and SLOWWWW!!! Anyway.... I shall continue with Friday!! Work was fabulous!! Got a little loud and yelled at by my boss, who I respect a lot and felt really bad, since he literally gave me a raise earlier in the week, (remind to self to SHUT-UP!) I love my co-workers so much, and I just got some pictures back that I took at good ole pci which, if I figure out, I will post!! Now: Hanging out with Sara!! It was fun, but something was kinda of going on, and I am still not quite sure!! we had a great time, don't get me wrong, but I think something was bugging her (maybe me?!?!) On Friday we hung out at her house, and then spent time spying on people on facebook!! (ha ha!!) We stayed up SUPER late playing games, and watching Friends episodes, then she feel asleep and I still was awake!!! It seems when I go to sara's I catch up on Friends episodes!!! Saturday morning, I slept in, and then we went shopping! I got some new clothes, which I was excited about!! After hanging out with Sara, I went home and hung out with Kevin, who was home for the weekend. Our relationship is give and take. More fighting than loving, but this weekend was really great!! He asked me (or demanded me) to play catch with the football outside, and it was really fun. He told me stuff, and he actually said I have a good arm, which to me is pretty amazing, since I don't like football! Then dad came out and joined us, and it is so fun to watch my dad and Kev interact, they are the same person, basically!! It's great!! This morning I went to church, early service (shocking I know!!) Church was really good, day gave the communion meditation about listening to your parents, and used Kevin as an example!! TODAY WAS FABULOUS!! I hung out with Suzie all day!! It was SO much fun!! She came over after church, and talked sports with dad and Kev, talked with me, and did the crossword puzzle with mom!! We then did an impromptu bible study, and would talk and then dig into the scripture and talk about stuff. it was really great. suzie has been so wonderful to be around, and it is so wonderful to have a great, Christian friend. Suzie decided to transfer to Northwestern (where Jackie went and works!) and I am very excited about Suzie going, but kinda sad, and trying to be excited, when selfishly I am sad!! :( Then after the bible study, we helped mom cook, which was fun!! It was exciting because mom never cooks, the only reason she did was because Kevin was home!!! then we took a nap, which was well needed!! The plan was to go to Vespers, but we decided to stay home, instead of being super late, since we lost track of time, and be with the Family. We watched the end of the race, some sports highlight tapes, and some of the football game with the boys, which was suprisingly really fun. Usually dad kicks us out if his team is not doing so well, but he was good because of Suzie, and he still didn't do very well!! Suzie and I also made brownies, and they were good!! Dad did some old card tricks, which us kids do not know the secrets, and Suzie was baffled, it was funny!! I feel kind of bad about not going to vespers, since I want to start meeting more people and expanding my circle, so I know more people when Suzie moves!! So we are definetly going next week!! The twins played the last game of the season, I only caught the beginning, but we did end up winning!! Joe played last night, and hit a homer, so I was glad about that!! Well, I think I've wrote plently, probably more than ever before, and I am tired and need to go to bed! I love you all so much, and God is AMAZING!! Love, in him!! Kristin!
