Well the Journey definately has begun...

Well its been a long while since I've updated and someone mentioned that my blog missed me and that it needed updating because I have a lot to update on.

First off I got a job at 

I am teaching there full time as the Animal Science teacher. I had offers else where but this just seemed like the right one for me. The best part was I got the call and was offered the job within 10 minutes of leaving the temple. So there really are blessings you can recieve from living worthily.

My second big news is I finally bought my own car,

Its a 2006 Hybrid Ford Escape, so now hopefully I won't be breaking down all the time. So far I am really loving it and it came in really nice for my next big news.


My third item of big news is I now live in 

Yep thats right, I'm now a city girl. HAHAHAHA, well its not so bad so far. We are so far west and so far south its not too bad and its only a 10-15 minute drive to my school down Bangeter. I'm living with my cousin Kasondra in her new townhouse and I live in the princess room, I totally have a castle on my wall, I know you're jealous.

 Its pretty sweet huh, I always new I was a princess.

Well thats all my big news so far....
School is going well I have only officially taught two days and used those to get to know the students, yet I come home exhausted because it takes a lot of energy to stay that upbeat and positive in class, i figure I'll  be that way for at least the first year or so.

My VP says I look happier then the past teacher when he asked me how it went, and said well it looks like you survived and you still have a smile on your face so I take that as good news.

Bring on the Adventure!!!!

Still seeking....

Well Graduation came and went and now the school year is starting to wrap up for the high schools as well, which is good and bad news. I am still currently looking for a teaching job, but who would have thought that Utah would have 9 Full time openings this year with more possible to open. I am still waiting to hear back on some and am crossing my fingers and praying that things will work out for me. I know that I just need to be patient and things will alll work out according to the plan that Heavenly Father has in mind for me.

I thought I was going to be totally miserable living at home but things are starting to work out for me. I've started attending the singles ward in Tooele and have met some new friends and am spending a lot of time with them and have alot of plans in the future with them.

I was struggeling to find any part time work then all of the sudden it just came. I got a job as a trainer where I can work from home teaching people how to use a hand held pc that has software to help manage their livestock herds, Its an animal science company and it seems like an interesting job that if I let it grow could be a full time job for me if things dont work out. The nice thing about it is that it is really flexible, I had only been hired for 2 days when I had been offered another job and they said they were willing to work with me on my hours. So working my weekends and some hours at nights for Fort Supply Technologies, you can check it out at http://www.fort-supply.com/ and then I will be working my days Mon- Thurs for the school district doing maintenance and painting for the summer months.

I got a call today  from Weber and have another interview with them for a new opening on Wednesday but I didnt think that they were too impressed with me the first time they interviewed me, but they had to have some sort of interest in order to have me come back again for this interview. I am just hoping that soemthing will work out for me, who knows maybe its not in his plans for me to teach this year and I am supposed to be doing something else. But until then I will keep trying and will figure things out eventually.

Its finally happening

Finally its happening, after 4 long years of hard work and dedication. 

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm excited for Saturday, but to be honest its just another day to me. I really have no extra emotion towards the day.

I guess I am just lacking emotion towards life outside of my current situation of whats going on at home. I spend all my time taking care of my grandparents and its truely exhausting, yet I don't regret one minute of it. They have done so much for me growing up, now its my time to take care of them.

Sorry this isn't all chipper and happy, its just part of the journey of life. But I am glad I am graduating, now let the job hunt continue.

Frustratedly unemployed....

So today I had a cousin point out to me that I can no longer say I am a  student when they ask for my occupation, I now have to say unemployed. It's kind of frustrating for me to have moved home and not to have a job, I thought I had 2 part time jobs lined up but one bailed on me so now I am just working one and that really doesn't pay the bills. To tell you the truth I actually don't even know how much I am actually making at my job, but then again I haven't even been around long enough to work I've been running here and there and the days I can actually work they don't need me, but the days they need me I am already busy with other plans. How am I supposed to pay for gas if I can't even get a job where I work... It's really frustrating for me that I can't even get a part time summer job, and here I am as of Saturday a college Grad with a BS degree, yet High school drop outs can get jobs. Its all really frustrating and everyone keeps telling me I need to be patient, but how patient can you be when you have loans that need to be paid off when you have no job. I live at home and am not loving that situation, but then again its free rent and luckily I haven't been home a lot lately and still have yet to unpack from moving home the 16th of April, I guess its my way of thinking that  if I stay packed the sooner I'll get a job and won't have to repack.  I'm thinking now I should have went into nursing, I could have actually used that field, I have had more experience in that field throughout my life then any other.  Since I'm not working I spend my days helping my grandma care for my grandpa, after his stroke he's become much weaker and she can't do as much as she used to either and can use all the help she can get. I just wish there was more I could do to help her out and more I could do to make him more comfortable. Its hurts me to see him in the condition he's in and I wish I could do something more.

Reasons realized....

State Convention.... for those of you who have never been to a FFA convention, seriously you  need to go and see what I am talking about. It is something you look forward to every year.  So I know Delta doesn't seem like the dream place, but I am actually really grateful for the opprotunity to have the chance to student teach there. It has helped me realized why I wanted to teach Ag. So state convention was a dream come true!!! We had many students competing in various events, and we won either first or second in almost everything we competed in. It is amazing to see the students grow over the short period of time I have had with them as they have been preparing. They have been practicing and the preparing for the competitions/ events and that flame in them has grown stronger and  their desire to learn keeps growing. Its amazing to watch students you have met from all over the state and have seen throughout the years grow and progress, its the sense of accomplishment that you have helped them in someway get where they are today that makes me want to teach. The strong spirit of unity and leadership was amazing these past few days and  I can proudly say now that I am proud to be part of the RABBITS. They have something to be proud of, they are an amazing group of kids that  have a lot going for them. They have taught me alot over these last few months and I know its sad to say but I think I'll actually be sad to leave them.

Delta has shown me what I want in my future program and what  a little work can do after just a  little time, think about it. Mr. Warnick has only been teaching now for 4 years and has in my book one of the top chapters in the state.  Imagine what I can do once I start teaching, so he'd better watch out in a few years I'll be giving him some competition hopefully!!! But seriously this has been such an amazing experience for me to be able to see what an amazing chapter can be and what it takes to make one. I can't wait to start my own. So lets cross our fingers and start hoping jobs will start opening up.
