Lemons, and Life

We often hear when Life gives you lemons you just have to make lemonade. I've always thought it was an awful saying because I do not like Lemonade, which it odd for me because those who know me, know I eat lemons plan, I dont like to drink them. Where am I going with this, well I am learning that it's not about liking lemonade or even drinking it really. Maybe it's about the work you have to put into it. Maybe it's about squeezing the lemons adding the right about of sugar so you can swallow the bitterness in life and enjoy the drink. We must do the work and we must add the sugar, and we must make it.. I have been fired now, but I have learned a lot from my job, from the employer and even better from myself. When it first happened (Yesterday) I was shocked, hurt, upset and felt as though I had done something wrong. I have never been fired in my life, and I have never been without a job, or a plan for a job, So I took it personal and how can you not some ask but with a loving husband and mother in law and amazing family, I learned how dear I look at it as I have done something rather then looking at it as their loss. I worked my hardest (and it's not that my best wasnt good enough) I did my very best :).. So now I have the lovely opportunity to be home, to catch up on family life, to catch up on what matters. Before you ever get a new job, think about what you trading for it. We only have the time that is given to us, and yet we trade our time for money. You may only miss one game here (hockey my husband play) or there because you are to tired or have to work, you may miss a church meeting, a birthday dinner, a weekend get away.. Think about what you give up for who, for what.. I love my lemons

UTAH

So WE went to Utah in Aug, I got to go wedding dress shopping with my sister, paintballing, visit with family, hang out and just enjoy the time, the cooler weather. Wedding dress shopping was wonderful, my sister look beautiful in everything she tries on. I love just shopping and spending time with her. We went to Salem pond and to feed the ducks and took the boys with us, I love my nephews and nieces all of them. They make my life so much better and sweeter :) Paintballing was fun, and painful :) I'd do it again if I get the chance, Jake and I went with Dani, Shawn and their friends. I dont know how my sis can go so often and not wear layers and layers :) I guess she's tougher then me..

Counting Crows

We finally got to see Counting Crows... Last year we tried but it was rained out so we tried again this year and it was perfect..

Visit

So Jakes sister and her sweet family moved out of state in May, they came back to visit in Aug. I love getting to spend time with all the family. .

My birthday

So on my Birthday here in Vegas it was a quite one which was nice :) We did dinner at Mimis, and hung out at home with some family

Jake bought me French chocolate cake which was amazing :)

Catching up

SO before my Birthday in May I went up to Utah to visit my family, as always it is so much fun hanging out with them.

They surprised me with a birthday cake :) Dani and I went and did pictures, we hung out and just laugh.

Yay

So I had a 2nd interview today for a pet store. I got the job and am so excited. I love animals and I love this store, they are like a pet shop and I go in there already to play with the ferrets and puppies. It is just a couple stores over from Bath and Body now so for now I will try and keep both. I hope that is will be a good change and better our lives so things can move forward.

Prayer and Faith in it

So I have been thinking of how we each have lessons we need to learn in life. Patience is something I do not have, when things go wrong I am always jumping to fix it or get on with life, and I will admit most of the time I do not think of why things happen there for a lot of the time I probably miss the lesson I am supposed to learn from it. I also feel that when I feel like life is going perfect is when things get so messed up that I cannot even explain. So I need to remember to be humble, be always praying,when things get rough pray even more, and pray for the lesson I am to learn from the situations,be thankful for what I have and learn to love what I have, so that any extra is that much more a blessing. On with the weekend, busy but beneficial

Changes

So I am trying to make some changes. :) Trying to be more positive, and just trying to get life in order I guess one could say. So I started with a big change for me

I also figured it was time for a blog makeover. Can I say a lot has changed since I made a background, took a couple hours to figure out how to get this to work right and had to use a different host to upload my pictures, there for I lost all my old blog backgrounds. Oh well out with the old in with the new. Things have been good so far. This is My little sister at S.L.C Comic con :) So happy for her and man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Ht2znGx-A&feature=youtu.be

Also I got a new cute niece

So I a few things happened since I last posted. Life is good !

Faith

Ok so anyone who knows me, know I like to have order, I like to plan things and know where, why, and WHEN. I often get annoyed when may plans time has to change. I get all set and get ready for the party, going out, dinner, or even work and then the time changes and it really drives me nuts. I have also had a hard time accepting things in my life that make it much harder or unpleasant. ( yes I have tried to change them, some things you just cant change) Well today of all days I was looking up stuff for fun and came across this.. I have always believed I have faith in our Heavenly Father and in his plans and I do my best to leave some things up to him, but very little have I thought about having faith with his timing, until last month when I visited the temple with questions in my heart and to sum it up my answer was all in good time. I always just think of things all in good time rather then all in Gods time. So I am going to try for the rest of this year to have a little more faith in Gods timing. I will not lie I feel like some things are just ticking by and it does make me feel anxious but I will have to learn to let it go.. \ So that is my little update Faith and my little look on how I need to have more
