ER Visit

I have had a lot of pain going on in my abdomen so on Monday I told Todd to take me to the ER. We waited in the waiting room for almost 3 hours then they called me back and I waited some more anyways after 6 different people treating me and 6 hours later I found out that I had a cyst on my kidney thats 2 and a half inches long and UTI. Yestersday I went to see Dr Dewitt he didn't think the cyst was life threatening but he ordered for a CT scan to be done just to make sure. I won't know anything until after I get the CT done on wednesday.

New Year Update

We are finally settled in our new place. We had a wonderful Christmas in Taylor this year. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and then we spent Christmas and the weekend after in Taylor with Todd's family. Since Todd has been layed off of work he has decided to go back to school to be a x-ray tech and specialize in sonography, I am excited for him to get into that field of work but I don't envy the school part. We also got new callings in our new ward. I got called to be the relief society meeting leader which is basically the enrichment leader they changed the name. so I definately got put out of my comfort zone. Todd got called to be on the troop scout committee. I am still babysitting to keep us afloat so we can pay all of our bills. So far we are having a good new year. Our foster care classes start tomorrow night which I can't believe its here finally it has seemed in some ways forever and other ways it went by fast we should be licensed to foster by the end of March.

Just A Quick Update

The last few weeks have been very crazy. We got moved into our other place and I'm still trying to get everything organized. Todd was layed off from work and is still trying to find another job. Since he got layed off we have been blessed with me getting calls to babysit so I have been busy with that and it explains why I am just barely updating my blog. We also got word that our foster care classes start January 13th and will go once a week for 10 weeks. We also went to our new ward and we like it so far. Anyways just incase I don't get a chance to update again before Christmas we wish all of you a merry christmas and a happy new year

WE'RE MOVING

Yes we are moving to a nicer and bigger trailer on the other side of Show Low at the end of November.

Quick Update

Sorry its been a while since I've posted. The last month I have been babysitting a little one year old she is so fun to watch and has a very cute personality. So since I've been doing that I've put most everything else on the back burner for awhile.

Wednesday we decided last minute to take a break for the day and go to the valley. We were able to see our new niece for the first time she is a very pretty baby, and has more hair on her head than I do. ( Well in the long run she will have tons more than me).

I found out two weeks ago that we are set up for Foster Care classes starting in January so we are excited for that to happen.

Embarrassing Moments but funny

So Saturday we went to walmart to get a few things. After we checked out Todd insisted on carrying the 2 10 lb bags of potatoes in one hand and a gallon of milk with a bag of cheese in the other hand. So we are walking out to the car half way to the car he stops where they have the carts and decides to put all the stuff in a cart cause they were getting heavy. Well the next thing I saw was he put the milk in the cart and started pulling it away from the other carts it was attached to then the back of the cart comes up the milk slides out the back he tries to catch it and it falls with the cap side down and milk goes every where. Right when it happened we were the only ones right there besides the lady that greets customers, she told Todd to go get another gallon of milk so he did and I stood by the cart with the other stuff, All of a sudden a huge rush of people came wanting a cart and there was milk all over the place and the worker lady was going crazy that the mop guy wasn't coming fast enough and I was going crazy cause it seemed like an eternity waiting for Todd to get back with the milk. Finally the mess was cleaned up and we got out of there.

Another funny. Saturday I made out some bills and mailed them off. Sunday I went to get the tithing check to pay it and it wasn't there, then I realized that I mailed the wrong checks to the wrong people.

Darn Stumbling Blocks

So a few weeks ago the mother board in the computer died. For Todds birthday his parents gave him one of theirs that they didn't want anymore. Todd has had trouble getting our hard drive to open instead of the other one when we turn it on. We decided to disconnect the internet and save the money that we spent for it and put it in savings and save a new computer. Last night the power supply to the computer died. So we are back at square one again. So now I have to use my dad's office computer for my primary stuff and the internet.

Since May I have known that a doctors office up here would be needing help come August. Last month I took my resume in and applied for the part time front office positions. Last Friday I went in for an interview with the manager and she hired me on the spot and gave me the tax papers to fill out. I was so excited to finally have a job doing what I love to do, I called Todd and told him, I called my mom and I also told Todds parents. Thirty minutes later I got a voicemail on my phone and it was the manager calling to tell me that she called my references and they said that I was a hard worker but I worked slow so because of that she told me that she changed her mind and wasn't going to hire me. After listening to that it crushed me, I called her back and asked her if I could still work and prove myself that I wasn't slow and she said no. That crushed me even more that she wouldn't even give me a chance to prove myself since at first she chose me over 60 other applicants cause I worked there before. Thats just very very poor business if you ask me.

Right now I'm completely done looking for a job any where because of the way I have been treated by employers. Theres more that I could say but I'm not going to just so it can be confidential.

A lady that I'm friends with is a Foster Parent and she was explaining to me about foster care and shes got me wanting to try it. Of course before we can do it we will have to get licensed and we would need to find a better place to live. It wouldn't cost anything to take the class to get licensed so that is really good. I realize it can be hard at times but for some reason all of a sudden I was thinking since I didn't get the job that we would get more money for doing foster care than me working in that office so I feel like its what we need to try and see if it will work out for us. Wish us luck!

Other than all of these stumbling blocks that are getting our way we are doing really good.
