It has been so nice to be able to go to work, knowing that i have a job, and being paid every week. I really shouldn't complain on the lack of health benefits, and commute time. I should feel blessed for being able to have a job in this awful economy, and to be able to pay my bills. Little by little, I am reaching my goals of financial stability, and am looking into buying my own health benefits through my pay. Maybe in a few months, when i hit my year mark at Disneyland, greater opportunities will present themselves. That would be nice.
In reflection of blessings, I love my job, I've finished school, and I have an amazing boyfriend whom I love and adore. And to have those feelings in return is almost like walking on cloud 9.
Last night after work, and taking a nice nap, Josh came over to pick me up and go somewhere. I thought we'd just go out for a walk, or something of that sort. So I was in my usual relaxing after work clothes. Which consisted of shorts, and an undershirt. When I made my way downstairs, he was dressed up nice in his maroon shirt, overlaid with his date night shirt, and a pair of khaki cargo shorts. Of course to my lack of acknowledgement of my surroundings, I didn't make the connection that he was wearing his date night shirt until he asked if I was ready, and how we couldn't be late for the Cheesecake Factory. What a sweet guy. He was taking me out to dinner to celebrate our 5 and a 1/2 anniversary. That is where we ate on our first date.
For those of you who do not know, Josh and I have had quite a fun journey in our courtship. Which I can't go into detail at the moment, or this blog would turn into a novel. But I can let you into a sneak peak as to the highlights or interests of our story. On my part through the dating process, I've ruined some of the great events that the man in the relationship usually initiates to begin certain events in the relationship. After going to Disneyland with Josh and some friends a couple of times, I got to really liking Josh. He even saved me from a flat tire, and accompanied me to some church activities. After having a great time up in Big Bear, seeing a friend give his farewell talk for his mission in his ward, Josh asked me to be his girlfriend. And this was before we had even gone on our first actual date. But I accepted and things started to blossom. ( i'll definitely have to go into more details from these events later. what fun stories to tell ) But back to me ruining, or taking a step into things. I don't know why I do this, it's just a part of me. And if I wasn't so annoying to hurry things up, there's a chance that Josh and I wouldn't have started our courtship as soon as we did. I ruined our first kiss. He wanted to kiss me after going to disneyland one night. He had tallied up his points in a game we were playing and wanted to redeem them for a good night kiss. But I told him we hadn't even had our first date. Then one night when watching a movie at his house, he accidently hit my hand into a wall, and kissed it better. But i told him that he missed, and of course he was nervous, and it was so cute and sweet, then he kissed me. I'm sure i've missed some details, but that's what Josh is for, to fill in the blanks.

Happiest 4th of July
This past Sunday I slept in, went to work, (which wasn't really much work, but got paid time and a half for going to a 4 hour shift, and only ended up really working for maybe an hour of it), ate a delicious meal at a family friends house, then spent some time with josh, leighann, and peter to blow things up. Or in other words, knowing me, I watched the men blow things up as I took photos :) It was a good fourth of july, and here are some photos from this years celebration :)
