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!
