Potty Training time...

Today marks the beginning of a new trial. POTTY TRAINING!! Athrun is such a smart boy and we all think that it is time to start down the road of becoming a big boy. So today i was in the bathroom getting ready for the day, when i hear grunting noises, i look over and athrun is trying to poo. So we hurried and put him on the his potty and about 30 sec later he says," pee-pee." And sure enough he had peeded in his potty for the very first time. I was sooo proud of him. So we washed up and put our potty chart stickers on our chart and got some "chocolate" ( they were reese pieces) So i had to post and brag about our first potty training experience. It is a LONG road ahead of us but it will be fun. I will keep you posted.

New Priorities...

Yesterday i had a very serious wake up call. It was brought to my attention that we are on the verge of another depression. WHOA!!! My father in law came home last night and gave us all a "fun" fact. Here it is: If you had 1 Million dollars to spend everyday since the time Christ was born, it would NOT equal or come even close to how much congress has spent this week. HOLY CRAP!! And i thought i spent alot of money.. That is too many zero's. So Allan and I's priorities have been moved and some have been taken out. 1. We are NOT moving. there is no way we can afford it now, espicially now that the economy is so bad. Plus, we are perfectly safe and welcme here. I know its not my own space but atleast its a nice warm home to come home to everyday. 2. SAVE SAVE SAVE as much money as we can. We will need all the money we can save. If we go into another depression, i want money to support my family with. I have a HUGE problem with money. I like to spend it when i get it. It is one of my many flaws. But thats not the point is that i learn to save and only get what is a must, can't live with out kinda thing.

The end of the world is coming. I know for a fact i wont see it, but my children will. Ezra Taft Benson said," When the end of the world comes it will be a nuclear Holocaust." OUCH!!

I will be honest, I am SO scared out of my mind about the economy. Allan and i could lose our jobs and then what do we do?? My work has slowed down a little. Allans job has slowed down so much they had to take out a loan to make pay-roll. :( HOWEVER, I know that if i stay close to the Lord, everything will be ok. I am going to make it a HUGE goal to go to the Temple atleast 1 day a week. Now that we have NO money that will be our date nights. My goals and priorities have been rearranged and now its time to put them into action.

A new place of my own may be in the future...

Saturday i was at good 'ol Walmart and Allan's friend Josh called me and told me that the landlord of his building was intersted in waiting until April or May to rent us an apartment in his building. Well you see i had call the Landlord a couple months ago, (thanks to Audra giving me his number) and told his wife that we were looking to move at the end of April Beginning of May. And that we are very interested in the apartment. But that was the last i heard about the apartment, until Saturday. It is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom right next door to Allan's friend Josh, and our other friends Tim and Audra live in the next building down the street. They are looking for clean people. I am guessing that the people before were messy. They have turned down a bunch of people and are looking for the right ones. So we are going to pray about it and see what happens. I think that with the landlord willing to wait is a good sign and i know Heavenly Father is looking out for the Anderson Family. I will keep you posted.

So i go talk to the deli Managers and tell them that i am VERY interested. They tell me to change a few things on my preferences on the wire, (its confusing to explain) and to get my Food Handlers. I ask if it pays more than a Cashier, which is a tier 3 and the Deli Associates are a tier 5. they are the highest paid sales Associates. Sweet! So next Tuesday i am going to get my Food Handlers Permit. I am so excited. I am not a huge fan of being a cashier. I am confined to a small space, and i love to move around. This could not have come at a better time. The Lord is really blessing me and my family. I am so greatful for this happening. Ill let ya know what happens.

I feel trapped..

So today during the day, i got this heavy feeling like i was trapped in a tiny room and i had no where to go. It made me so darn depressed. I was so down that the littlest thing made me cry, i usually never cry for no reason, except when my Annoying red headed aunt comes into town once a month. So i was thinking why i was feeling like this and its because i want out of my In-Laws and in my own place but we have NO money to move. Well we could do it with our tax return or wait until, when pigs fly, in April or May. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!! The more and more i am here the more and more i get depressed. I start hating my life, church, even family. I HATE it here. Don't get me wrong i Absolutely love my in laws. They help a bunch and have helped in many ways, but its getting to the point that its getting super bad. Every thing now gets on my nerves and it never used to. I am now glad to go to work, when i avoided it. I baracade my self in my room when i am home. It is getting really bad. I get my hope up and they get crushed like a Semi running over an ant. You would think that i would learn not to get my hopes up considering my past. (GRRRR!!!) I never learn. I am just not happy any more. I put on a front of looking happy and everything is Happy-go-lucky, but inside i am so hurt and nothing is helping. I needed to get this out some how and this is like my journal. Its the only thing i trust that wont JUDGE me for my feelings. I am at the very end of my rope like the last string at the end of the rope. Sorry for this post but it needed to come out or i would have blown up at a few people. If anyone has any suggestions, ANY at all, please feel free to share. xoxo

New Job...

I was in Walmart today ( how ironic) and i got a call from a girl who worked at Walmart, and told me that they got my results and they wanted to know if i could come to orientation on Tuesday from 9 am to 4 pm... I was so excited and my prayers were answered. I am so thankful that they were. So i now work at Walmart in Orem as a cashier. So those of you who read this and shop there, look for me and i could be your next cashier. I couldnt be happier about this. So i was doing some math and i figured that we can move out in March or April instead of May or June. I am so happy. :D I dont know if that is a good thing or not that i want to move out sooner or not... :{ oh well i am just SUPER excited about this and i had to share it with all of y'all.

Rollin' in the Dough...

I got a call from a lady saying that she would like to set up and interview and hire me. So i go to this place and have the interview and it goes well and she wants to set up a 2 interview. I am thinking "yes I am looking good" So i go to the 2 interview and that goes extremely well and they are very interested in hiring me..... but i need to pass a drug test and pass a criminal backround test. HA! I head over to WorkMed by the Orem community hospital, take it and now i am sitting here waiting for my call saying when and where Orientation is at. Oh, sorry you are probable sitting here reading this saying "oh thats wonderful!" and "congrats but where did you get the job at?" I will tell you. WALMART!! I am so freaking excited. Many people are telling me that they work you to death and they dont treat their employees good, but seriously think about that for a minute.......1......2.....3..... If they pride themselves on Customer Service and making the customer happy, wouldnt they try to make their employees happy? Makes sense. No employees, means no customers. :D So any how i am super excited and they have already offered me a wage, and its more than i thought. So to those who are looking for a job Wal-Mart is Hiring and the wage is pretty sweet. Stay tuned!

Hair Nightmare...

Back in December i wanted to color my hair. So i bought a Dark brown box hair color. I know the longer you leave it in the darker it gets, boy was i right. I left it in TOO long. It turned my hair black. I actually liked it until my hair grew out. Then i decided that i want my brown hair back. So i got a Color pretty darn close to my natural hair color. So i had LueAnna do it, and i was set to have my hair back to normal. HA! Not even close. My roots turned a Blonde color, and the rest of my hair did not even color at all. So I called Fantastic Sams by our house and they said i would have to bleach my hair and the re-color it. I was so bummed my hair didn't turn out the way i wanted it to. So LueAnna found some professional hair color in her closet that she uses on her hair. It was a light golden brown. It made my roots 1000% better and my hair is not as black, its a dark brown with some red tints. I kinda like it. :D So in 6 more weeks i can go to a PRO and have it done the way i want it. I will NEVER color my hair with box color. I learned that if i want to color my hair to do it 2-3 shades lighter or darker than my natual color. Not Black. xoxo

Independence...

So for a few months Allan and I have been living with his parents for a few months. Dont get me wrong i love them but it is getting a little much. I miss having my OWN home to cook and clean and have my OWN privacy. We hung out with friends the other day and i loved the feel of their apartment. I miss being on my own and not dealing with annoying family everytime they visit. So Allan and I are sitting down and disscussing this topic until the cows come home. I want to reach a decision that we have a dead line to move out. So i hope we can move out very very soon. I love my family, but there gets to ba a point that it is enough and time to have privacy and make a home for my self. But who knows we could be stuck here for a year or more.
xoxo

My life has begun...

Well I have decided what i want to be when i grow up. I am going to Dallas Roberts Hair Academy in September. I am super excited. You may ask why in September and i will tell you. I need to pay for it and it is not cheap. it will cost me $10,850 to go to school. I am going to get a night job (hopefully) and earn money for some of it, and apply for federal grants and student loans. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. It's not like some jobs where if you mess up you can fix it or start over, no if i mess up, i mess up some ones hair. Yes it will grow back but thats not the point. I am the kind of person who messes up a lot and i will have to have a lot of self control and SLOW down. but I am so excited. My excitement is like a volcano, I can't hold it in i have to release it. :D Ill keep updates on my progress toward my future career in Hair. And who knows, i could become this amazing Hair dresser and do hair for Celebrities. LOL I have all the potential in the world with this and i am ready to accept it with open arms and an open mind. BRING IT ON!!!! I am ready!!
