The update of the century!

Well folks, I have the motivation to update my blog!

So since I have been back from Florida, not much has changed except.....

I GOT TWO JOBs AND I LOVE THEM!!!!!
I now work for Brandon and Wendy watching Emma and Chase and at Lexington Law Firm helping people repair their credit.

I show up at Brandon's at 6:30am and stay there and play with Emma and Chase until around 1pm. When Brandon gets home, I leave for my other job. I work from 2pm-10pm at Lexington.

Here is what I love about these jobs....
* I get the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Emma and Chase, which makes working 2pm-10pm totally worth it!
* When I go to work, I am glad to be there and don't mind working the evening shift.
* I work so much I won't have a lot of time to spend my money on unnecessary items.
* I get to meet cool new people.
* I get to leave work at work and home at home.
* My job is permanent, no more of this temporary non-sense!
* I get to dress up for work, in fact it is a requirement.

As my life is changing for the better, I realize how much obeying the commandments has blessed my life. I would not change anything about my life, because my experiences have molded me into the person I am today and for once I can honestly say, I am happy with that person!!!

I hope all who read this have a wonderful holiday season!

Not feeling myself lately....

I am not sure why, but I have not been feeling like my happy self lately. Maybe it is because I miss the other part of my family. Maybe it is because Satan knows I am doing what I am supposed to and putting these negative thoughts in my head. Who knows what it is....not me. All I know is I long for the day when I really laugh again....we will see how long until then.

Dating Sites....Yes or No

This post is more of a poll than anything else. Now that I am single again, I have seriously contemplated whether or not I should try (and pay for) a dating website such as LDS Singles or one like it. The reason being, I am wondering, mostly to myself, if it would be easier to find many dates instead of seeing one person consistently. So here it is: Would you ever, or have you ever, considered a dating website and do you think it is a good idea to fork over money to join one? Yes or No? Why or Why not?

My adventure to Florida

So....on 9/4 I began the long car ride from the town of Springville, UT across the country to a small town in Florida called Navarre. It is in the panhandle and is located nearly 30 miles from Pensacola. The first day was long. Erin, who happened to be my driving partner, and I drove through Utah, the southern tip of Colorado, and part of New Mexico. I must say, the worst drivers reside in New Mexico and speed limit signs are nowhere to be found. We stopped in Albuquerque to sleep. I must say, the lodgings were AWESOME!!!! The next day we awoke early and started day 2 of our trip. This included traveling through the other half of New Mexico and began our journey through 627 miles of Texas......Not much happened along the way except we stopped at this gas station in NM that had disgusting bugs along the sidewalk completely dead and probably cooked!!!!! Let me say again, it was DISGUSTING!!! Once we got into Texas, the drive seemed to take FOREVER! We drove for almost 11 hours on day 2 and ended up in Dallas, TX, where, once again, the lodgings were fantastic! Once again, we slept. The only difference is on the third day, we awoke at 6am and was on the road by 6:45am. We drove through the rest of Texas........it took forever!! The next state we entered was Mississippi, which was a short drive compared to Texas. Then we hit Alabama. We were so close and both getting very anxious to arrive. At that point we were starving so we stopped at Cracker Barrel and had a delicious meal. After filling our tummies, we continued our drive over the Alabama water into Florida. The journey was very nearly coming to an end and we were both extremely happy about it. We arrived in Navarre around 8pm and began unpacking my car. Luckily, Nate was here to assist. Erin stayed until Tuesday, which unfortunately was only one day :( Since I arrived, I have applied for many jobs and had the luck of being able to hang out with Nate, Amber and cute little Garrett. Two days after I got here, a lady in Nate and Amber's ward offered me a twin sized bed, complete with a head and foot board. I now have a bed and am loving it. Not much else has happened since I have been here. I would like all the haters out there who thought my car would crap out to know......it is still running and has not had one problem since leaving Utah:) There will be more to come as more adventure start happening.

The Decision 2010

I know I am not Lebron or Dwayne Wade but here is my big decision for 2010. I am moving to Florida on September 4th to live with Nate, Amber and Garrett. I am excited for what is ahead of me. This is a new adventure. Thank you Nate and Amber for offering up your home to me! Love you guys!!!

The much needed update......

I have not blogged in awhile, not for lack of time....I have plenty of time on my hands these days. Let's start off with the events leading up to me being single. I filed divorce papers on 4/1/2010 and I left Moussa on April 3rd and moved in with my mom. I knew this was my only time to leave because Moussa was working on a Saturday for the first time since we got married....to me, this was a sign from above. I thought it would be hard, and some days it is, but overall, I am more happy now than I have been since we started dating....sad, I know! I see him in the most random places but Utah County is small so I cannot think that I will never see him again. So now I am living with my mom and sister. The divorce was finalized on 5/17/10. It helped that we did not have any assets or children during our marriage.

Now to happier things. I have been able to spend more time with my family and am loving every minute of it. Below you will see a picture of my goofy adorable nephew Chase. I asked him to strike a pose and this is what he did....



We have been able to spend a lot of time with him this summer. Especially the last week of June beginning of July when Nate, Amber and Garrett came for a visit. Chase and Garrett got to play together the entire week they were here. We had SOO much fun! Here is a picture of two of the cutest boys in the world! Chase helped Garrett discover Daisy's doggy door.



Having Nate, Amber and Garrett here was so much fun. I was able to take time off work so I could spend time with them. On Saturday, July 3rd, we had a family party with all of the aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone was able to come. It was a blast!!!

After Nate and Amber left, I got to work for another week at StubHub. My assignment ended on 7/9/2010 and was a very sad day for me. I will miss all of the people I worked with...especially Jessica! I was able to meet some really great people while working there. After I lost my job, my cousin Rachel called me and asked me if I would be able to watch her 3 adorable daughters....of course I said yes! They are so much fun to tend!!!

Last Saturday, I went to the Scottish Festival in Payson. My dad is a member of the Saint Andrews Society and they had a booth there. Brandon, my dad and Chase all have Kilts in the colors of the Murray Clan. Below is a picture of my mom and Chase. Chase has his kilt on and, if I do say so myself, looks pretty darn cute!



Overall, my life is going pretty well. I am enjoying having time to myself but know if it goes on too much longer, I will go crazy. I really need to find a good job so if you know of any openings, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks for reading!

IT IS FINAL

To those who read my blog.....I AM OFFICIALLY SINGLE!!!!!

Easter Weekend

This weekend is Easter and Conference. I was not too excited to watch conference this year b/c there is so much I need to work on within myself. However, I have recently made a drastic change in my life for the better. So here I am, sitting in my mom's living room watching President Monson give the very first address to the world. I love the way he speaks of his wife with so much respect and love. I hope to one day have a man in my life that will talk about me that way.

As Easter approaches I have had time to reflect on the death and resurrection of the Savior. I don't very often do this. Today as I sit here watching conference I am aware of the great sacrifice the Lord made for me so one day I can return to live with my Heavenly Father. I am so grateful that the Savior would die for me! I know I don't repent as often as I should. I hope to one day become like Christ so I can see my family in Heaven.

I am grateful for my trials and tribulations that are set before me. I know each trial is given so I can grow closer to the Lord. I have not always made the right choices but the choices I have made have molded me to be the person I am today.

I wish all who read this a happy Easter. May we all remember the reason for the Easter season and know that God loves each and every one of us.

New project

I woke up this morning with the thought to sell Avon. It is only $10 to start and I think I know a few people who will buy from me. I hope to grow this business into something useful. If any of you buy Avon and are willing to buy from me, leave a comment on here. As soon as I get all signed up, I will start sending you catalogs...even if I have to send it via mail. (that was a hint for those of you not in Utah, wink wink!)

Updates on New years resolutions:

So I have already completed one of my new years resolutions and it is only February! I got my car fixed!!!! However, my heater has been acting funny and slightly possessed over the last few weeks but it started working again today. I have also started going to Zumba 4 days a week at the Pleasant Grove Community Center. It is a blast and I LOVE it!!!! Not much else has been going on. I will keep you posted with any updates as they come.
