Oh Happy Day

Well... this week has been ok except for what happened on monday.  Got some good news.  Bonnie and Blake are up for the weekend.  Blake asked Daddy last night if he could marry Bonnie.  Daddy said yes.  So Bonnie, Candace & I are gonna go dress and wedding shopping today.  I only work a half day today.  YAY!! lol  
Week's been good.  Joseph and I went shopping last night and bought food we really needed.  Joseph's dad gave us a Costco card so we can go there and get food.  Joseph's Dad did loose his job.  But he's going to retire and receive unemployment so that's good.  He's moving this next month into a new house that'll be cheaper for him.  
Life goes on.

A Black Day ☹

I need to vent.  Yesterday was a very difficult day.  Work was fine.  But I was worried about a lot of things while at work... but other than that my work day was good.  I was worried about Joseph.  He was telling me that he was having a crummy day and I wanted to help make it a better day but I didn't know what to do.  
Later, when I got home, is when the trouble started.  I had to ride my bike over to 24 hr Fitness and cancel my stupid membership and get a refund because I never went there and some other crap.  Well my account was canceled but they wouldn't give me my refund "company policy".  Screw that policy.  Anyways.  I went out the door in a bit of a huff and when I got to my bike I noticed that the tire had gone flat.  Talk about Karma.  Not sure how... but it did and that didn't help my mood.  On the way home I was listening to my iPod Touch Joseph bought me for my birthday :) when I listened to the song by Josh Groban called "Don't Give Up".  That got me started on the crying.  When I got home I had a full melt down.  Just laid on the bed and cried.  It also doesn't help that I'm an emotional wreck a least once a month.  
My sister Celeste found out that her job was actually a scam company and that they had totally ripped her off and now she has to go find a new job.  Her and my sister Hillary both.
Joseph got off work and gave me a phone call while I was still emotional and broke the news to me that his cousin Michael, Aunt Susan's son, (Aunt Susan did our reception) had died while serving in the military in Iraq leaving Amy and their two adorable sons.  I cried even more when I had heard that.  I think I had only met him once.  But the thought of Amy loosing the one she loves hit me hard.  Amy, I am sorry for your loss.
Later I got a message from Candace saying that her favorite rat, Tiger, had died of pretty much a cold and that her other rats are sick too.  She's worried about her rats.  They're like children for her and it's horrible anyways since another rat of hers had died a couple weeks earlier.
Also found out that Joseph's Dad is going into the UVU staffing board today to be evaluated and see if he's going to keep his job.  UVU is doing cut backs of their Faculty and we're hoping he doesn't loose his job.
Other crap has happened with other members of our families and was just a bad day.

I have a prayer in my heart and a hug in my arms for all of you and hope you feel the comfort of the Lord in your lives.  Remember 'Don't Give Up' and I love you.

Story of my life




The story of my life you might find to be too long.  It has had it's ups and downs, but it's been an adventure in and of itself.  
Life in it's early stages was innocent, simple, naive.  As life progressed things got more complicated and responsibility invaded.  The little girl grew up, learned and advanced in the things of life.  The invitation of love and intimacy introduced itself to her and she experienced many new and exciting things.  She traveled to new places to learn and become a woman.  In time that woman met a man she had known when she was a girl.  A young, ambitious and handsome man he was and she fell madly in love with him.  She felt alive and young and they completed each other in many ways.  The couple married and now they live.  
  They Live  


Thus the curtain closes on another tale

An eternity has passed...

Fleeting dreams fade into the distance...

All that is left now

Is me and my memories...

But I'm sure we'll meet again,

Someday, you and I...

Another place, another time.
