So now a year ans six months after being laid off from the auto industry I have managed to acquire a full time position! Actually it is through the great job my husband does that I was able to get this job as it is with the same company he works for. Valley Office Systems. I will be the girl Friday!! So I am back into the flow ~ YAY!! And some worries will hopfully be put to rest. I have worked part time at the Logan Hospital answering phones graves/every weekend. Gets old after a while. And I also should mention the temp job with the Nevada JATC last winter. But Halelujia [sp] I am working.
It is interesting the ups and more downs you go through when you can't find work. Either to qualified or under qualified. AND so many people out there looking. I can see where word of mouth is so so worth it. If you can get the information out to people.
Dana and I have worked together several times over the past 25 years and it is a great setup for us. Understandably not for most couples. We can though and it is nice. I can't say I like having to get up and going early now after all the 'down time' I have had, but I am sure will adjust quickly. And also not being home for the girls. But again they will adjust and all will be well. They are growing up and soon Whitney will be working. That is wierd!! So I really have no need to be home all the time.
James is doing great on his missio in Argetina. He is in a town at the base of the Andes!! It is hot and they are teaching a lot! I love him so and miss miss miss him....
Matt is done in under two weeks!! Wow seems like forever, but just yesterday. Strange feeling. I will have him for the summer and then off to college in Arizona he goes. It will be great for him to get a degree!! I miss miss miss him and love him. Can't wait to rub his bald head!!!

Long over due
So I find myself in a crazy spot in life. I never really think life through like some people, I have just taken it as is comes. For instance getting married. I always knew I wanted to, that it would most likely happen and that was it. Then voila! I am married. I didn't stress abot the groom or what life would bring. And it has brought much. So to follow this thought I never thought about getting older, just knew it would happen. Now I am forty something ~ and getting older. Looking like my mother, grey hair, big belly and almost grown children. I never thought through or worried about them growing up and leaving as true to form it wasn't my style. Now I am faced with it. since the baby it 17. I have two maybe three worries. Will Dana and I still have things in comon without the kids around. Will the children be okay and be strong for their trials? And will they remember us? I most likely won't stew about all this but just have that nigling feeling. LOL
Matthew has less than 20 days left in the NAVY, after a long four years. Melissa is getting so grown up for her! So cute! James my man is in Argentina and according to his email of last Monday is loving it! What a great spirit he has. Sometimes I wonder who raised him? It couldn't have been me!! hahaha
Whitney my best friend and baby is resisting growing up. She is scared, worried, resentful, nervous and any other adjective you can add. I understand all that, but she needs to move forward. But is doing well in school, finally brought her grades up!! And seems to be a bit more accepting of the new leaders in YW. Change is hard for her. Who would've thought that? Not me, she seems so confident. That may be her smoke screen I guess.
All in all the new year of 2010 has been a good one.
Art work we are getting an on site Supervisor which will be great!! I applied I surly need the hours, but not the stress. So maybe another part time? I keep looking for a full time, but they are few and far between with all the layoffs the pool is filled with lots of talent. I try to let God be large and in charge. He knows what I need.

!! 2010 !!
Wow 2010 is here! I remeber 2000 in Green River Wyoming. I worked the Green River Recreation Centers New Years Eve Party. Middle schoolers EVERYWHERE!! haha It was very fun though.
Now here it is 10 years later. Since then we have move to two states, three cities and five homes. Had three high school graduations, sent our oldest to the NAVY and subsequently to Japan, have just recently sent our third oldest on a mission to Argentina and watched our two girls grow and mature. We have gained four pets, two in the last year!! I have been to the deepest part of my mind [I hope] and survived. I have gained and lost both literally and figurativly close friends. I have loved my one and only spouse for almost 25 years this July! And have watched my waistline grow, shrink and grow ~ argh to that!
But no matter what has happened it has been a growing experience and hopefully for the better. I am stronger and more intune at this moment to my Heavenly Father. I know I am his daughter and he loves me as I am. He hopes for more, but will take me as I am. Funny I feel that same way about my children, part of his plan I am sure ! : )
I hope I will remember my lessons learned, move on to grow and learn more! I hope to gain more understanding of the Gospel and to serve my family, ward and community better. I hope to love more fully, laugh more and dance everyday. I hope to smile at those I don't know know and to hug those I do and not let one moment go by without realizing the gift it truly is. Happy New Year ! !
