Update

So here's an update on life.  I start at RC Willey on Saturday!!  Hooray!!  I can hardly wait.  I was super excited about this job just at the interview, then when I got the call saying I got it and just when I thought it couldn't get better, they outdid themselves.  I got another phone call earlier this week saying they'd just had another person leave and they were wondering if I wanted that position instead.  So now instead of part-time with no benefits, I am what they call three-quarter time WITH benefits, well some.  But still, it makes me feel so old to have benefits. :D  I don't know what they are just yet, but I'm really hoping that tuition reimbursement will be one of them, that would be off the hook.  Mix that with my scholarships, and I'll be getting paid 2,000 dollars a semester to go to school.  Awesome.  I have been toying with the idea of getting a minor in business lately but I know my scholarship won't get through that many credits so the reimbursement would mean that I could do that, because wheels are starting to turn in my head about post-graduation life.  Weird.  

Next.  I found out earlier this week that one of my best childhood friends (up until the 8th grade) is pregnant.  I haven't heard from her in years, since Melanie got married so 3 or 4 years ago.  I felt like I should see if by some chance the facebook bug had bitten her, and sure enough, it had!!  I was so happy to find her and see her page.  As silly as it sounds, I really hope she accepts my friend request, I would love to hear all about how things are going for her these days.  On the topics of best friends, I had another (that I made after the previous one moved and lost contact) that was like my soul sister all throughout jr. high and high school.  We had a bit of rollercoaster ride, not in the sense that we fought, but just that we would make new friends and go our seperate ways for a couple months and then miss each other and things always wound up great.  I loved her to death.  Then, when I moved to school and got my first boyfriend shortly after, she decided she didn't want to be friends anymore.  I still don't understand why or how it all went the way it did, but we didn't talk, ever, for almost a year.  The other night, I was facebook, (life would be a mess without it apparently) and she started chatting with me.  Just small talk at first, but then she just came straight and said, "I miss you, a lot"  I wanted to cry.  I was so happy.  She was one of my best friends and I hated not being able to be there for her because she was pushing me away.  But I knew that I had to let her have her space to figure everything out on her own this time, and that maybe we could be friends again sooner or later, and sure enough, it happened!!  So we talked some, I'm sure we'll still have a couple heart to hearts about the whole situation, but I am just so happy to know that she doesn't have that bitter taste towards me anymore.  I am so excited for our future adventures and hopefully a life full of friendship, because I love her stinkin' guts. :D

Ok, so I always start with the intentions of making my posts short, but I just get typing and I get so excited about it and keep going, oh well, sorry.

Next on the list of updates, Katie's wedding is almost here, hooray!!  Congrats girl, I'm so excited for it!!  (Not in the sense that I want to get you married off, but I am just so stinkin' happy for the two of you!)

She came into our room tonight and started talking about this youtube video so we watched it, we enjoyed it and thought it was precious and kind of just like, "take that world, I'll show you."  So here it is.  Sorry for those of you that read both our blogs, because she posted it as well.

It won't let me embed it, sorry.   Anyways, life right now just keeps managing to get better and better.  There was a brief window of time this last little bit that I was just stuck in one of life's ruts, but I have been blessed in so many ways and reminded of who I am and what I want in life and it is all brightening up now, more than I could have asked for and in ways that I never expected.
