Busy

Hello Xanga World!

I haven't visited in a while.  Since I last blogged here a lot has happened yet nothing much exciting.

I didnt get offered the good job with Game and Fish like i was hoping but am glad bc i didnt have to worry about moving again.  I didn't get offered the position within my department that i wanted either.  Just for a change I took the job as Secretary/Admin Assistant with the department.  It was a raise and daytime hours so I thought it would be a perk.  That was nice but the job is awful.  I'm not complaining but i am just not challenged enough.  My main responsibility is to answer the telephone and a few minor things that take 10 minutes a day to do.  So I spend my days playing on the internet mostly and chit chatting with my co-workers.  I am still praying for the right job in this world to do with my life.

I mentioned before about some new friends and they are great!  I love Paige Revis, Alicia Gough, Ange Bintliff, and Sherri Horton to death.  They are some great ladies.  There are several more great people that i have met through Jazzercise that i love also.  Especially Karen Cooper and Judy Lepper which are a couple of my big buddies as well.  I thank God for their friendship every day.  There really are angels on earth.  I am so glad to call some of them my friends.

I also chose to make a move into a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood with some folks.  I moved in with two young men that are a couple and my sister.  I love the house!  I really like the neighborhood also.  The roommates though are not my cup of tea.  They can be fun at times and it is nice to have roommates again.  It's nice just to have someone there to eat dinner with and watch tv with and have a conversation with.  There is just too much drama though.  It stresses me out sometimes.  I wish i could afford to buy a house.  I'm praying for a raise or a better job so that wish could possibly come true.

I've got a busy couple of months coming up.

This Sunday, I am please to say that God has blessed me with the opportunity to go on an Ozark Mission Project with my church Fellowship Bible Church and First United Methodist Church of Conway.  It is a week long mission to help low income and disabled people of West Memphis.  We will be doing projects around peoples house like building wheel chair ramps and fixing up their houses when they cant afford to do so.  It will be great.  We will return on the 14th and then I will head out to Jacksonport State Park for the Headley Fathers Day Reunion.

June 20th we are heading to Hardy, AR to have a Gaines girls weekend at Spring River.  Then June 28th we have a soccer tournament and the city's july 4th fireworks show that I have to work.  The next weekend will be 4th of July and we will be at Maddox Bay on our annual fishing trip for 5 days.  Then on July 10th at 6am, Paige, Sherri, Ange, and I are headed out to New Orleans for a Jazzercise convention.  Then the weekend of July 19th, my family is going camping at Buffalo Point.

With all of these great wonderful exciting plans, I am having some knee problems.  I have been having some major pains in my knee after I twisted it playing softball.  I am scheduled to have a MRI tomorrow morning and will get the results back this Friday.  So who knows, I may have to squeeze a knee surgery in there somewhere.  I hope not but it's hurting like something is seriously wrong with it.  So please pray for God to give the doctors wisdom in healing my pain.

If you can't tell, I am rambling.  I am bored at work.  as usual.  :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!  I am getting off here to possibly find something productive to do.

Later!  :)

Venting My Thoughts!

Prayer is the key!

Life for me lately has been very good in many ways.  I have developed friendships with some people that I would have never expected. 

It all started with JAZZERCISE.  Jazzercise is a dance based aerobics class that is held in the McGee Center where I work.  Jazzercise is actually owned by Paige Revis and she rents out our meeting room for the class.  Well over the past couple of years I have got to know Paige and a lot of the other instructors and members of Jazzercise.

I have been struggling with finding comfort and friends here in conway.  I have been praying about it.

Patience!

I joined Jazzercise in mid April myself and have loved it.  Recently Paige has been forced to move her business to another location after the Parks Director refused to renew her contract at the McGee Center.  She found a great place close by except it needed a tremendous amount of work.  I have been volunteering a LOT of my time to helping her fix this place up and it is finally done.  Even though the work is done something better has developed and that is even a greater friendship between me and paige and a few other instructors (Reagan, Ange, Heather, Pele, and Sherri).

Paige is a very strong christian and a very good influence and romodel.  I am so glad to have her as a friend and thankful that God has blessed me with such a friend to help fill that void in my life.

I have lots of wonderful friends everywhere and friendship is something i thrive on.  It is something I can't live without.

However very soon I may be offered a very good job that will require me to move.  I really don't like moving.  I know that I should take the job if offered to me because it is good and will be a great experience.  It is going to be hard though.  I am just now finally making good friends here and becoming comfortable and Happy here.  The thought of moving is so sad. 

There is a job open within my department here in Conway right now that I want and that I am qualified for.  I have a feeling though that they may give the job to someone else.  This someone is very much a brown noser.  I hope the boss makes the right decision!  I hope he realises how much I can bring to the table with my education in Parks and Rec and my experience as a Rec Programmer even though it isn't much.  I really want this job but trying not to put everything i have into it because I don't want to be heartbroken if I don't get it.

I pray that I am given the knowledge and the right words to help everyone around me realize who I am and what I have to offer this world and this community.

I pray that I have strength to take on any and all challenges that are presented to me whether it be saying goodbye to friends and moving and taking on a new job or taking on new hours and more responsibilities.

I pray that I walk closer to God in every step I take each day!

I pray that God helps me see my direction in this difficult world!

I pray that God blesses me with more wonderful people in my life and some day a wonderful man to share this beautiful thing we call life!

I pray that all my friends and family are blessed with the best of everything they desire and keep their lives filled with love and happiness! 

Prayer!
Patience!

Friends!

Family!

Love!

Thank You!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Hello Xanga World

It has been so long since I updated but just thought I might as well.  I am getting excited about the holidays.  I put my parents tree up at their house this past weekend and I put some lights up outside on the house as well.  I hope to get mine up here at my house soon also.

Well apparently it snowed in Russellville tonight but us folks in Conway got zilch.  Bummer!

It's definetly cold outside that's for sure.

Well life for me isn't much different from the last time I posted.  I still work full time with Conway Parks and Rec Department at the McGee Center.  It is an ok job but nothing I plan on doing for the rest of my life.  I moved into a little house with a big fenced in yard so my dog loves it.  I like the privacy as well and the rent here is actually cheaper than what I was paying for my apartment.  I still really don't know anyone here besides the people I work with but I'm surviving.

Anywho, I hope life is going good for all you lovely people out there.

Take care and drive safe in this questionable weather!

Sending Lots of Love

Man it has been a long time since I updated.  Still no pictures.  I have lost the cord that plugs my camera into my computer.  Anywho, all the things that have happened to me this summer....ready go

I got a full time job here at Conway Parks and Recreation working at the McGee Center.  It is not really different from what I was doing just full time and at night so different crowd.  I am working 3pm to 11pm though so even less of a social life.

Went on lots of trips this summer.  Went to Hardy, Horseshoe Bend, Maddox Bay, Jacksonport State Park, Wild River Country, Heber Springs, and Crowelys Ridge.  Mostly family trips with a few camping trips here and there.  It was a fun summer.

Also just in the last month I have moved out of my apartment and into a small house with a big fenced yard.  I love it but still have a lot of boxes to unpack.

But anyways, that is a quick version of an update on my life.  I hope everyone had a wonderful summer as well.

Question of the day - How do you talk to an angel?
