Sometimes I sit at the computer knowing that I want to write about something but i'm not quite sure where to start. I'll start with the basics.
Currently I'm looking into a job closer to home. I told Josh that I might actually enjoy where we live if I didn't have to drive so far to get to work, and get home at the end of the day.
Josh and I went out last night to Red Robins. Through my rewards points I got a $50 gift card to eat there, and so Josh and I will go eat there on ocassion. Last night was nice to get out, split a burger with my husband, and have bottomless root beer float and steak fries :) The staff there was awesome, and our waiter never missed anything. It was nice. Josh and I tipped him $10.00 for how awesome he did. I've decided that we all have difficult jobs, and if we take time to compliment and recognize each other, then maybe we wouldn't hate our jobs as much. I hope that we were able to make his night better :) I also talked to the manager and let him know how impressed we are from his staff and what a great time we had. I picked up an application, and it sounded very promising to get my foot in the door with them. I think it would be a great opportunity. I have lots of customer service, and food experience over the years. I really enjoy it, and the opportunity to serve others and make them happy :)
Last night was nice, and today was a good Sabbath. We had a nice time a church. Learning about the importance of recognizing that we are all of God's children and how we should love one another. It's easy to slip up in this, and I realize how selfish I am when I'm always thinking about myself and my problems. When it should really be about thinking about my neighbors, and how I can make someone else's day brighter.
I love this church and the peace it brings into my life. I hope that as I continue to grow closer to Christ and our Father in Heaven, that I can help bring that peace into the lives of his children who are struggling or feeling lost in the world. I am so grateful for those I associate myself with who have such high standards and live their lifes worthy of the gospel. They are such great examples to me, and I want to be better because of them. I love my husband and all that he is makes me happy that I was so lucky to find him and have him in my life forever.
Well that's enough for today, here's to good days from here on out, and doing my best to keep them good.

Missing my Husband
I know it has been quite awhile since I posted in my blog account. Quite honestly I feel like no one really cares or reads about what is going on in my life. But if for some reason I may be wrong, I still continue to write in here. It is almost a therapeutic solution to take time and contemplate on what I'm actually feeling, and try to sort through something in my life.
I've been married now for approximately 2 months. Life is wonderful when I'm with Josh, and when I'm not, all do is think about him, and it gets me through my day. It's been hard though, I really don't get to see him much. Josh is working for Dewey Pest Control this summer, his hours are long and hard, and I am proud of his preservance, and hard work that he puts into it. He has to face rejection each day, only to turn himself around and do it all over again the next day. I don't know how he does it sometimes. I don't think I would be able to face that kind of work everyday. He works Monday through Saturday from 9am-9pm. He has been driving out to Murrieta lately, and once his team finishes up that area he'll be moving onto somewhere new. With how much my schedule jumps around, we hardly see eachother at all. It is sad, but I keep telling myself that it is only for the summer. I wish I had friends that I could go do things with, but I feel like I'm stuck in the middle. The friends I had when I was dating Josh, weren't really there and were letting go of me slowly, and now they don't talk to me anymore. I understand that things are different, but in a way I feel like they weren't really my friends if they aren't my friends anymore. I miss those friendships I held dear to me in college, but they are all in separate states and I probably wont see them again. Then the other side of things is that I stay home until my husband comes home because I miss him, and don't want to miss him when he does get home. I wish I had friends, but I've been noticing how hard that is becoming. My new ward is interesting when I'm able to attend. I work every other sunday, and so it makes it hard to be visible in my new ward. I just don't feel at home yet. Our apartment is our new home, but I still haven't had that feeling as to where I feel like I'm at that point in my life that I'm supposed to be at. Currently, I got injured at work, and am on transitional. Which means that I am not working in my department, I still get my hours but they just have me working through stores as a greeter. The camera equipment through work has made me weak, and has messed up my back and arms. Who knew that the thing I loved in college and got my degree in would turn out to be so nasty. All in all I need to find a better job that isn't a 60 mile commute. It is really eating up my time, and my life, but It is all I have. My Mom reminds me that I can't afford to be unemployed or else I would've quit already. Thanks mom.
Well this is all that is going on in my head right now. If no one hears about it, at least I have something to think about through the day with a little more structure to it.

Time Flies
It amazes me that I haven't posted a blog since September. It's not because nothing has happened either. There is so much that has happened since my last post. Let's recap:
1. Jason came home from his mission in late September and has now been home for 5 1/2 months.
2. I'm still working at Disneyland, and had no idea I would be there for so long. I love my job, but just like everyone I have those days. The commute is never fun, but at least I have a job.
3.Halloween came and went, and I didn't dress up. I was too poor, and too lazy to make a costume. Josh and I wanted to dress up as Jessi and Woody from Toy Story. Now that Josh has a Buzz lightyear shirt, we may just have to do Jessi and Buzz next year.
4. Josh proposed to me on my doorstep one day after church. (October 24th to be exact) Which was a pretty fun story since my brother came out yelling at us right after Josh had popped the question, telling us to stop making out. (ah good times, Jason was happy he was part of the moment)
5. I've been planning our wedding since then.
6. I worked on Thanksgiving day, and got Jason and Dad into the park so I wouldn't be alone the whole day. I got to play with them afterwards.
7. Mom and I found my dream wedding dress online for 260 dollars, which was perfect because it would be custom made to my measurements, and it wasn't too much money.
8. Christmas was fun with Jason home, first one in 2 years. I got a fun toy, which I will cherish forever, and everyone loved their gifts.
9. The New Year came, and brought in many surprises. One being the complication of my wedding dress. My Mom looked at her credit card not recognizing a 260 dollar charge, and called it in as being fraud. They canceled it, and an hour later she realized it was the wedding dress. So for a month, we lost time, trying to clear things up with the credit card company and the merchant. We canceled the first charge, sent him another payment, and spent a month trying to let him know that his money was in his bank account for him. Yet he still didn't see it, and wouldn't send the dress until he got his money. So we canceled the second, and asked him if we could just start a second order, and have the dress sent that he was working on. I told him the date of the wedding, and he said I'd get the dress by March 15th, due to the Chinese new year celebration. This was way too close to the date, so we decided to go with someone else. Too bad we lost a month of time fighting for this dress. :(
10. Josh and I got our Engagement pictures taken thru Jason Lanier Photography, and one of his employees did beautiful photos of us at Santa Monica Pier. It was a great experience, and lots of fun. Neither Josh and I had ever been there. It was a lot of fun.
11. Josh and I found an apartment in San Bernardino, close to our friends, and will be in a fun young married couple ward. The apartment is coming together and looking really good. It's small, but just right.
12. My Aunt helped my Mom and I pick out a beautiful invitation which we got in the mail yesterday, and will be working on them today, to get them out asap.
13. I just had my bridal shower, and had a wonderful time, and great turnout. It was so much fun, and was beautiful.
14. I worked on Valentines again, and it wasn't too bad. Only downfall was that Josh was sick, and I didn't think we'd be able to do anything together this year. Last year we had just started dating and he made a romantic dinner on his back patio of our favorite soups, and some grilled cheese sandwiches. He also made his "black bottom banana pie". So good. This year I came home to a surprise in my room. I saw a Banana Republic box with card and Twix bar on top. Twix is my favorite candy bar. I opened the card, and he wrote me a sweet letter with a cute poem. He also got me a dozen pink roses, and they are beautiful. It was such a sweet surprise. He also bought me a Jacket i fell in love with at Banana Republic.
I got out of my work clothes, and kept texting him about how awful traffic was, making him think I was still on the road. I wore the Jacket, and went to pick up his Valentines gift. (Socks, and a surg protector). When I got to his door I told him I just got home. He told me I should change into my pajama's. He was so anxious for my surprise. But before I could respond to that text, I knocked on his door, and covered the peep hole. He opened the door and was so shocked. It was awesome :)
15. My Mom and I found a different wedding dress which is beautiful, and i'll be trying to take it in to the seamstress today, to make a couple alterations.....I am 6'3" there had to be some alterations. lol
16. Life is great, and I am preparing to enter the temple. It is so nice to know that things are starting to come together. I'm so excited for my life with Josh. Just 5 more weeks, and I'll be Mrs. Parish.
