Mini Update!

So here is the mini update! Sorry it has been a while.

*I am still looking for a job, I have my resume posted everywhere I can think of and I have been checking every site I Can. It has not been easy, but I am still looking.
* I decided that I am going to stay in the dreadful snow of Utah for a little while longer and in a few months see how things are going and see if I want to stay here.
*I stayed in Utah for Thanksgiving. I was sad not being home with my parents and have the Thanksgiving I am use to, but Aunt Joyce and Uncle Craig were out here so it was fun to be with all the Cousins. Kristen and Matthew and their 2 kids flew out too! The whole Jarrard clan was there. It was tons of fun!
* Aunt Joyce will be here for another week so I will get some more family time while she is here.
* The event that I have been working on for the past month or so with Megan (she has been showing me the ropes on coordinating) is this Friday. I will be working probably 12 hours that day! But I am excited to finish my senior project! :)
* I had the ward holiday party last week that I was helping out with, and it went great! Thanks to Janelle! She helped me with some of the centerpieces! :) Gotta love having cousins so close!
*I have 16 more days of school left! My law class is really tough so PLEASE pray that I will pass!! I know I am!! :)
*I developed tendinitis in my right wrist, I have been wearing a brace for about 2 weeks and it has gotten a smidgen better!
*BEST OF ALL... 100.3 Radio station plays Christmas music 24-Hours a day!!!! :)

I think that is about it! I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving and I can’t wait for Christmas!!

The Job hunt...

I talked to my boss the other day to see what she had in store for my future at the 23rd Floor. It took me about 2 weeks to get the guts to talk to her and then another 2 weeks to track her down. We have another office up in Logan so she is there allot. I finally went in to talk to her and she sadly informed me that they will not have a full time position for me there and that I would not be getting much more hours then I am now. She told me that I have been doing a great job there and I in return told her how much I love working there and that I have never loved a job more in my life, but I will have find somewhere that can take me full time. I told the girls that I work with and they were sad but we all kind of knew that I wouldn't be hired full time. I am going to continue to work there until I find another job and maybe work there part time after that as well. I am sad to have to leave but that is life... it is time to be a grown up and work full time :(

So I am on the hunt for a job. If any one wants to help me find a job that would be great!!! :)

I don't know if I am going to stay in SLC or where I am going to go, So we will see where the Lord wants me right now and I will be off to start a career and new part of my life there.

The way to make friends...

The new apartment complex that I live in doesn't have allot of extra parking. I have an assigned covered parking spot that i am so thankful for right now since it has begun to snow. Well, I worked tonight and got home a little after 9:30 and there was someone in my parking spot. So, I called the towing company and the came to get the car. The tow truck had just attached to the car when the guy came out. I got a few dirty looks from the owner of the car after he paid the tow truck driver and he then got in his car to move. He backed out and then moved over 2 parking spots!!!! Do I know how to make friends with my neighbors or what!!

Clumsy is graceful , right?

Halloween this year was quite the night. I went to LDS party with the girls from work.
I met up with Colleen and we met Paige and Megan at the dance. We were quite the little group.
Megan was Curela Deville and her Hubby Josh was a Dalmatian... it was great!
Colleen was a prego white-trash looking hick! It was awesome!! She actually looked pregnant.
Paige was the cutest little flapper!
Me... I was part of the Russian mafia. (Don’t ask me why Russian... but that is what I was)

The dance that we went to was up the canyon in Salt Lake. So, if anyone hasn't been up the canyon at night... there is no light up there. Once we got the place where the party was it was raining and the LONG walk we had was gravel, and dark. /I just about rolled my ankle like 4 times. But I survived and safely made it inside. The dance wasn't all the great, but hanging out with the girls outside of work was a blast!

At about 10:30 I left the party to go meet up with a guy friend that I had met at one of the parties I had worked on the 23rd Floor about a month ago. As I was leaving I had to walk that dark uneven road by myself in 4" heels. Uneven ground and heels are not so good. As I almost fell a few times, I did successfully make it to my car without falling. I thought since I made it through that I was safe for the night.

I met up with my friend and one of his friend's parties and we hung out there for a while. Well, long story short we at one point were walking down an incredibly steep hill, uneven ground in the dark (again), I didn't have my glasses on ( ya I know I’m bright right?) and what happens... I FALL!! Completely bail! The first time I hang out with this cute guy and I fall! I was so embarrassed, but I shook it off and pretended like I was fine. I have never had a guy feel so bad for me falling; surprisingly he didn’t even make fun of me. I would have made fun of me! It was great.

That did set the tone for my week though. So I fall on Friday, I ran into a table at work on Saturday, and Monday I cut myself on a piece of glass while moving a box. I just hope my week gets better from here. At this rate I may have stitches by the end of the week. I thought dancers were supposed to be graceful!!
