Monday was quiet a day. I went to work to find out someone had stolen the copper pipe and we had no water. So I spent a hour and a half at the school helping get people to another school. I then went to that school to help only to be told to go home and call back at one. I thought of if I need I can go in at 2. I called and was told to come in at 3 because the director wanted to go home. I felt like saying you should stay and deal with it like any other director would. I said nothing and I went in and worked. It was so different from what I'm use to. It reminded me how blessed I am to be where I am. Moral is if you ever get a urge to steal some copper piping. DO NOT do it from a preschool.

Tuesday I got up to go to work only to be told to go home and come back at noon. So instead of keep doing this get up early got to work go home come back. I asked to just come in at noon all week which is two more days and I got the ok to do so. I spent the day in the infant room and got off super early. It was a nice day

Wednesday was nice I slept in for a change. I didn't have to go to work come home then go back. I just went in later and played with the babies all day. It is cold and rainy today and i loved it! I am in such a good mood despite the headache I have. I think it's from the weather or it's cause I've gone all week with no caffeine or soda not sure which, but I'm not backing down from this challenge.

Thursday It stormed all night long keeping most everyone up. The cold weather threw the whole state into a cold white state. It was raining and cold and yes it SNOWED. It was pretty intense. I woke up feeling really sick I was throwing up and had a major headache. I called and asked to go into work later. It was hard to work feeling sick, but I did it and I got to go home a few hours later. I then went to my parents to look for something then home to rest and relax.

Friday HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I had a fun relaxing day. Did some shopping, and then stayed home, and brought in the New Year from the safety of my own home with Trisha. We played games and had a good time!

Saturday Trisha and I went out and about we shopped and relaxed. Then we went to Rachel's where we did our friend gift exchange. It was a nice way to spend the evening with dinner and talking and fun times.

Sunday I woke with a slightly sore throat and hope I'm not getting sick. I'm resting and hoping it will go away.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Monday we are low at work so much that I got home before 530 today. It was so nice to come home and relax

Tuesday I spent all day in the Infant room which was different for me. I am not use to a full day by myself. It was nice to have time to myself though. Got off about 530 again

Wednesday I went to work just to go home and then come back. With the holidays everyone is low. So I went back at noon and worked in the infant room, and got off again about 530. I did get to buy a bracelet. It has Micha's initials, two crosses and his favorite verse on it. The money went to Susie and I was touched. I learned it was from one of his students, and since he started selling them Sunday he's made over 1500$ and it's all going to Susie and her family

Thursday I went in to work only to be told I was suppose to come in at 12. My boss had NEVER said anything so I didn't know. So I went to the bank cleaned the house then went to work. Where I was kind of everywhere with the Infants. It was fun and I got to come home and relax and enjoy my evening.

Friday Christmas Eve. I spent the day just relaxing and enjoying my time off. I went to dinner at my parents. It was so nice I love being able to be with my family whenever I can. I was there as were Jared, Becky and Kaleb, 4 missionaries and my grandma and grandpa. We read Luke and we shared some Christmas Eve stories. It was nice to be there to talk about Christ, and feel the spirit.

Saturday was Christmas and it was so fun. I had breakfast and just enjoyed some friends. Then later went to be with my family. It was different this year we didn't do the usual gifts we had in the passed. It was white elephant gifts, food and money and it was so nice. It was really nice to see the season without the glamours. We had elders who danced, and there was music and laughing and fun. I loved it

Sunday I stayed home rested and just enjoying some serious ME time

It's looking alot like Christmas

Monday was a tough and emotional day at work. A fellow co worker passed away. He hasn't worked with the company for 2 years, but he still came by and said hello, and all the school age kids knew him. His wife was still working with us up to 6 months ago. So it was hard. His name was Micha and he was only 25 years old. He was driving home, and all we know is it looked like he was trying to exit the freeway spun out and hit a pole, and passed before anyone got there. His wife is Susie, and she is 24 years old. She is a cancer survivor, and seeing him and her having gone through so much to just have his life cut so short was truly more shock than anything. I know I will see Micha again, and I know he is well. It's harder for me to see so many trying to find their own way to cope. It makes me see how truly blessed I am to have the gospel and it's knowledge in my life. My day was not to bad considering.

Tuesday was not to bad I was here and there the day was over all not to bad. I can't say allot happened. Other than we at work talked more of Micha as more details became known. I again listened to many memories. It is nice to hear them, and it's good to know I can be a shoulder for those who need it to cry on. I'm so blessed and grateful I can be a help to anyone at this time.

Wednesday was not to bad. I went kind of everywhere this morning before ending up with the older two year olds. It was fun to be with them. I love my job I can get hugs and stuff at random without it being weird. It's great, and it's like the kids know when your not feeling so great. They do or say something to make you feel better. I was having a hard day just not feeling well, and with all the emotions going around it was a little more stressful than usual for me. I just had random kids hugging me today. It's things like this that remind me why I love what I do.

Thursday was an overall good day. Some emotional moments, but got through them. It was mainly with my coworkers. I know it's hard for them so I am ok with listening. I wasn't feeling to great today so I was kind of glad to just be ears today.

Friday was a good day over all. My back was hurting allot, and I don't know why. I came home and went to dinner with Trisha. We then decided it would be fun to drive around and look at Christmas lights. As we were we noticed someone was driving behind us in one area. I was like ok maybe they are looking at lights as well. Then I thought maybe they live in the area. So I told Trisha to turn down a street where the houses were not as lit with lights. Well this person went the same way. I asked her if she had noticed that car behind us. She said yes. I said well try going a few different ways and see what happens. We spend up a little and the car did too, and followed our turns. I then said don't put your blinker on, and she did she sped up a little more. Whomever this was spend up and was keeping up with our turns. I asked if they were still following. She said yes. I said ok don't use a blinker and head toward a main busy street. So we did and the corner right before the main busy street the person stopped and we went on our way. I said if they had followed us we would of stayed on a busy main street where lots of people are and call 911 and get to a well let busy area. She agreed, but they stopped. I said good cause usually getting to a busy street helps. I don't know what that person wanted or would of done, but I am sure glad I felt inspired enough to help Trisha stay calm and get away from them. Thank you for the blessings Heavenly Father!!

Saturday was so busy I didn't even know the day was over till it was over. I started with a breakfast then got my nails done then lunch and some shopping then another shopping trip and dinner then went to temple lights and food it was so much fun to be out and about. Christmas is nearly here and I am feeling ready.

Sunday I went to church it was beautiful full of touching spirit. The true meaning of Christmas touched my heart and soul. I then came home and caught up on some stuff before I went to see my brother in the Messiah.

Birthday

Monday was not that bad of a day. I think I have a main handle on my cold. I just have a cough that I can handle. The majority of it is gone or so it seems. I think the extra rest and relaxing has helped allot. I had a pretty uneventful day. Other than my bosses were on top of being in ratio BAD today. I think they honestly got in BIG trouble for it. Because there was allot of licencing, state, president of the corporations, and our ops manager talking to staff and the bosses. then today they were really on it so I think that was the issue. I got to spend time with the two year old like usual and some time in kindergarten which was different. Over all good day though.

Tuesday was another not to bad day. I'm feeling fairly well doing the same thing been in the twos then kindergarten then infants. It's not so bad and life is going pretty nice right now.

Wednesday was weird I was in infants in the morning then in a few rooms then in infants again. It was weird day all around

Thursday I was in the two year old rooms and it was not to bad and infants like normal. I was off super early thought due to babies going home early. It was nice to come home early and get some me time in. I had a chance to go over my Christmas stuff and see what I need to still get, but I think I am mainly done.

Friday was a weird day I was everywhere I had no real one place to be in the morning. I had a nice surprise when Rachel randomly showed up and had lunch with me. I was in the infants as usual in the afternoon. I had someone try to get to my face book account from Brazil. It was weird and things are fixed now. I then went to dinner with Trisha and did a little Christmas shopping.


Saturday I spent the morning just relaxing doing some house work and getting some stuff caught up. After that I went with Trisha to finish up some Christmas shopping. We then met with Rachel, Jonathan and Ethan for Trisha's birthday. We went to dinner and had cake and talked. It was a fun night. It's also Kyle's birthday he turned 3 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!!

Today is Sunday and I am jut relaxing doing NOTHING but sitting with my feet up. I think I hurt my knee yesterday so I'm resting so I can face this week
