What kind of gift is this ?

So Everyone knows I eventually want to get married. Sooner than later hopefully. Especially my own MOTHER! :) Okay, So my sister Lindsey was over the other day and my mom comes in the living room with an early Christmas gift for me. I'm thinking cool...thanks mom! So, I open it and what is it? ... None other than a big fat "BRIDES" magazine! What kind of gift is that?!?! I'm not even dating anyone right now. I just looked at her and laughed and kind of tossed it aside like a dirty diaper. She is so naive that she got it for me thinking how much she "knows how much I love looking at wedding gowns." Lindsey and I were laughing so hard. Anyway, what a great way to start the holidays! :) No, it was funny! Gotta love my mom.

Fun Family Weekend!

I wanted to thank all those that came to the Friday night Christmas Party! I had a lot of fun. It was great to see you all! Saturday was great too. I'm grateful for family and don't know what I would do without all of them! There are now 148 of us on my mom's side of the family, and more on the way. And over 70 great grand children! I love it !!!! I'm so happy that we keep this tradition yearly and the Reunion in the Summer. I remember when it was just us 80 or so in the "Phelps Family." (which is still a lot) :) ... our cousins were, and are still some of my best friends and provide some of the BEST memories ever! Now there are so many that have married, and I love them so much. They are wonderful people to look up to and it's so awesome to see our family grow! I missed a lot of you this weekend that couldn't make it and hope they are all doing well. Anyway, I'm sorry this blog is just words! I forgot my camera Saturday and am so mad at myself!!! I hope you all have a Wonderful Christmas! Love you all!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Most Embarassing moment ever!

Okay, I think I should officially change my name to Klutz! I was in an Interview last week for a Position that I want more than anything, so this was huge. I was recently laid off at AAA and had been there about 6 years. So sad!! :( So I'm looking for a good Dispatch job. I found a great opportunity, dispatching, just the job I want and the most I will have ever been paid. So, they call me back for a second interview last week. Yay!!

Here's the part you're waiting for... I go in all dressed up, ready for this interview. I know I'm going to make the BEST impression. So, the Supervisor sits down, tells me to take a seat across from him. I'll set the scene; Hard floors and chair with wheels. Need I say more. Didn't think anything of it, so I go to sit down. The next thing I know, the chair pushes back as I start to sit and I thought I had a good enough grip but... NOPE! My whole body flies to the floor and the chair is laying on top of my shoulders and face. I'm laying on the ground!!! I couldn't believe what was happening. My first instinct was to run as fast as I could to the nearest exit. But, I just laughed, the guy lent me a hand and helped me up. I said "nice to meet you." He was very nice. I think it put him at ease that I was laughing so hard about it, because believe it or not, the interview went excellent. SERIOUSLY! As he was walking me out the door, he said they'd call me in the next day or two because I was their "strongest candidate." I made it out to my car and was laughing so hard that he actually said that. I wasn't holding my breath.

But, guess what?!?! This morning I get a call from them and they want me to meet with the General Manager tomorrow. I'm so excited, but in the back of my head am thinking, maybe he just wants to meet the girl that fell off the chair last week. I hope not... :) Wish me luck! I think this guy has carpet in his office, so that's a plus. ha ha ha! It seems I have too many stories like this. Anyway, other than that, life is going great. (other than me turning 29 last week) grrrr... where does the time go and where is my Husband? :) Going to the Singles Ward, socializing, trying to stay busy!

I wish I had an interesting life! :)

I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd jump on and at least talk about something. Not a lot has been going on in my life. Which can be a good thing, but doesn't make for a lot of fun. :) I can't complain though! Life is great! I have a wonderful family and a lot of good, close friends.

I had a great weekend! I loved Conference and all of the talks. Particularly, President Wirthlin and President Uchdorf. Their words of council and testimony make me want to do better and be a better person. I take a lot for granted and complain about the most petty things sometimes, and I know I shouldn't. I have so much to be grateful for and am so blessed.

I can't wait to have a Family of my own one day and raise my children the way Heavenly Father wants me to. All of my Brothers and Sisters, and most of my friends have kids and I admire them so much. I can see how you all devote your lives and love to your kids, and hopefully I can do the same!

Bad morning

Hello Everyone, hope you are all doing great!
Just had to write my thoughts down today, because it's been a bad, frustrating day and it's barely noon. This is just my 3rd week at my new job and last friday I was sick as could be, throwing up, fever, all that fun stuff. This morning I woke up, felt great, ready to start the day! I get in my car, it barely starts and is making a horrid sound, shaking, smells like gas and the check enging light is flashing at me! So, nobody is at home to help me get to work. Luckily I'm blessed to have a wonderful Boss who told me I'd be okay if I couldn't get to work today. But still, I'm trying to work hard and make a great impression. Doesn't it seem like - when things in your life start to work out and get on the right track, that bad things happen!!?? I really don't have ANY room to complain. But I just needed to vent this morning! :) The weekend was great though. I spent a lot of time with my nieces and nephews. I love them to death. One of my neices, Isabell, turned 7 on Saturday. I just can't believe it's been 7 years. seems like yesterday she was born! That only means I'm getting older :( Oh well huh?! Life is great, I have a great, caring family, and great friends! I just have to remember the good things!
- Man, sounds like I'm preaching or something huh? :)
