Alright, Alright, I guess It's my turn for an update..

What do say about me, hmmm I work. The end. JK!!!! But seriously, that's my life. I work at Davinci Virtual Office Solutions (google it) and I am a Live Virtual Receptionist for companies all over the united states. I have been there for almost a year, will be on July 15th. I love it there, the culture and atmosphere and people I work with. But lately, I have liked it for many reason I will not go into and get myself all frustrated on my relaxing saturday. I have applied for Discover Financial Services (credit card company) and have had one interview. They want me to come in for another hopefully next Tuesday July 3rd :) They will pay .50 cents more plus if I work anytime from 3pm-10 or 11pm I get an additional $1.25 an hour! :) BOO YA!! Plus I'll get to stay up late with my honey bunny and hopefully get to take my school day classes I need. BUT!!!.....Davinci will be giving me a raise for being there a year on July 15th and probably to the $11 an hour. In the past month they have given me promotion to the out bound team, offered me a position on the Roamer side(safety net of missed calls)and I am now moved to another team. WOW! So they have moved me quite a bit and over the past year I have stayed on the hardest team in Davinci with all the VIP Clients. SOooo I have a lot of experience to offer Discover card but still nervous. I am not sure what to do and if I should take the job. Chase isn't work right now so we are bleeding money. I NEED and deserve a raise but I don't see the point of changing companies if I only get $11 at Discover. Plus there is 12 weeks of training and those 12 weeks are the day hours. AND THEN I'd get the afternoon/night shift with that extra $1.25 an hour. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I AM UNHAPPY AT MY JOB NOW AHHHHHH!!! So ya, that's my life. Work Work Work Work Work. LOVE it but HATE IT. Chase and I have been doing really well. You know when you get all giddy about someone you like for no reason at all even though they haven't done anything cute or given you something? Well that's been me for the past month. I don't know why but when I think of chase (usually when I am at work) I just get all giddy and happy. He has provided me with so many things in my life and so much new knowledge. I think back to that naive girl I was in high school (am still her inside sometimes) and think about how far I have in life. I am really glad we met when we did because I don't think I would have the guts to face the world on my own. He has taught me so much about value, loyalty, love, honesty, finance, my credit score haha, and trying your best every day you have to live. With out him, I'm positive I would still be living at my sisters house in the gloomy basement thinking about my family and the problem my parents have had. I now know why my mom took so many years to make her descison to get a divorce. It's hard to not want to forgive the person you have loved for over 20+ years and start over with them and forget to realize that you deserve better. My mom is great if any of you wonder. She is learning to love her herself and take care of herself for once. She reads more books and exercises and plays more with the grandkids. It is still hard when Randy comes around on Sundays especially for me. It's hard to forgive when he hasn't....wow off the topic. Sorry kids. So my life is great, just working and loving life with my boyfriend and zekers :) Can't wait to see Emi walk out of the temple all married and stuff. lol I love you all and miss you tons. PLEASE, lets get together before Emi's wedding and have a sleepover like old times! Tent in gobbles back yard? Jessie's basement?

You have made me who I am

Sometimes I wanna be little again...

I use to think that Jesus loved little children the very most!  I loved being little because I thought that if Christ came to earth He would most certainly want to see me first!  As I've gotten older, I've thought... "Darn it!  I'm not a little kid anymore... I kinda get jealous of children when I see pictures like this...  I like to picture all of us around Christ.  What an amazing older brother we have.  I'm sure when he comes again, He will want to see all of us because He loves us each so very much!

For some reason, this art work really touches me... Look at the angels around them... Sometimes I feel like that little girl in the blue dress.  So close to heaven, so happy and so at peace, other times I feel like the little boy and girl in the bottom left corner... kind of standing back and watching others progress and feeling left out but still hopeful that I'll have my turn.

This one makes me think of all of you... Someday I hope this happens but with us all together!  I want to be close to you girls my whole life and forever after!  I am thankful that Heavenly Father plopped us girls together in our cute neighborhood.  Maybe before we came to earth we all requested to be together.  I'm sure we were friends before this life!  Good thing we have grown up together!  You have made me who I am! All of you have shaped me into who I am today...

JESSIE

 

Jessie,  You have made me brave!  You have shown me what it is to go after what you want and to not be afraid of what other people think.  You have gone some cool places and it has made me want to travel and to experience other cultures and ways of life!  You inspire me to educate myself! Whenever I go past Dick's Ace I think of the time that I choose out a cookies 'n' cream chocolate bar... Just because you did... I wanted to be like you! 

        

 Yummy!  Now I want some HERSHEY'S!  I love you Jessie! // 

BECCA

Becca, when I think of you, for some reason I picture you just GLOWING!  In my eyes... You Glow! :)  You are this light of joy and you just make me want to be a happier person.  I feel like we can relate a lot, except I'm a few years behind you!  When I get discouraged about my dating life or my education or trying to do well in music, I think of you and how amazing you are and I kinda feel more at peace and content with where I am at in life.  I hope that through my life I can take a piece of you with me, staying positive and happy and smiling and laughing and giggling and dancing and singing!  Just like you!

          

Thank goodness for skype!  I love seeing you and talking with you there!  Technology is amazing and I'm glad it helps us stay close!  P.S.  I have fun looking through your pictures on facebook!  It made me miss you very much though... Love you Becca!

EMI

  

Emi, Sorry you don't get a picture of you all by yourself!  But I actually had one of us!! he he First of all I want to speak for all of us girls when I say... THANK YOU FOR MOVING TO AMERICA! I am so thankful you came here, to Utah, to Centerville, to US! There is something about a cute little half Japanese girl that makes us all better somehow!  I feel a little more cultured from the time I've spend in your home.  Me and You growing up in the same grade together has been the greatest blessing of all time!  From you I take the courage of confidence in who I am, in my taller, less stylish self and in my music that I write.  I remember the first time I saw Children Of The North play... I just watched you and listened to you and just cried I was so proud of you! I still am!  Thanks for being there for me when my dad threw away all my build a bear stuff... right after we played! "Training Wheels!"

              

I can't believe our little Emi is getting married!  So happy for you!!  Love you!  Hugs and Kisses!

JALENE

  

Ne Ne,  From you I take with me a passion for nature and adventure.  Climbing trees together was not always a good idea but that orchard was our playground!  I love when you come over, even if it is so crystal can pluck a hair out of your armpit!  he he I am so thankful I got to grow up living next to you!  I can't believe we use to fit down your laundry shoot! Oh I just thought of something else I'll have because of you!  

   

look familiar?...  Who would have thought that a pizza could split open a persons toe! ;)

I love you ne ne!  I love that the scare on my foot reminds me of my favorite cousin!  I love that when you see me, you run and give me a big hug and jump on me!  I love when we can laugh together!  I love you forever and ever and ever!

CRYSTAL

 

Crystal,  Last the Best of all the Game!  Sorry everybody but Crystal kinda wins when it comes to affecting my life.  She held me when I was a baby!  Now maybe Jessie and Jalene did that as well but Crystal... You really are the worlds greatest big sister!  You have always made this path for me to follow and you were always the test drive of things so that when it was my turn to do something, like going to college, I could do it the best way the 1st time around!  You are so cute as a married lady :) he he putting your house together and  cooking new things and eating healthy and finding cute ideas for homemaking and being a mother someday!  I'm so excited to be an aunt someday and to be a mother and to raise our children together!  I love you sister!  Thanks for always being a good example to me!!

The greatest thing about life... is that it just keeps on going... and someday all of us will have children and when Christ comes again, maybe he won't see us first but he will see our children first... or our grandchildren!  Eventually we will each get a turn to be wrapped in his loving arms!  And when that happens I'll have to thank him for being there for me my entire life!  And I'll have to thank Heavenly Father for sending you girls to earth at the same time as me to help me through this difficult but amazing life!

I love you girls!!

Love, Camille

Opening up. Figuring things out.

Mckay and I had a really good talk the other night while driving home from Logan. We decided that we could do whatever we wanted to do with our lives and literally achieve anything. With God on our back we can be really happy. It might sound a bit dumb or cliche, but it's 100% true. I've been struggling to figure out what I want to do with my schooling and the rest of my life. What school I should go to. What I should study. Where we should live.  Remember that really annoying song way back in elementary school? "I'm like a bird I'll only fly away.. I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is.." It's by Nelly Furtado, I just looked it up. Anyway, that's a bit how I feel right now. I feel I have a lot of different homes: Japan, Centerville,Hawaii, and Logan. I think I am a very adaptable person when it comes to going to new places. I can easily go with the flow of a new scene. I don't know if my heart will ever be content in just one single place. That is why McKay and I have entertained the idea of moving to New York or California for art school. Heck, we've recently talked about going to London. This is all very exciting to me having the full knowledge that I can really go anywhere I want to and I have a super supportive fiance who shares the same dreams I have. I want to see new places and experience different cultures. I want to open a little shop and sell some art and clothes. I want to develop my sewing skills and also my drawing skills. Gosh, there are so many things I could write down, but they are all jumping around in my head so fast I can't. 

It is my hope and prayer that each one of you will find (has found) a person who is exactly on the same page as you. Who shares the same dreams you do and who supports all of your desires. I know that marriage is going to be a lot of work, but I'm going to have the time of my life with my husband to be. Ah, man I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. I'm so excited.

For now, McKay and I will be living in Logan from this August until June 2013. Come visit us! I'll make some cobbler and we can have a good time. 

I'll try writing more posts when it's not the middle of the night so my head is more clear. I love you girls. 

I Forgot

I forgot to tell you about my leg.  I bruised it pretty bad.  If you haven't seen the picture, look on facebook.  I slipped on bleachers and hit my shin and it bruised bad and spread down my leg to my foot and it was swollen at least 3 times it's normal size.  But it's getting so much better now which is good and I can finally do stuff without it hurting!

Update by Me

Ok, it's been quite a while since anyone has written anything so I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start with my update.

1.  I'm still in Provo for Summer just workin my little tail off.  I work for the Paint Shop in campus and we go around campus painting.  I work from 6am to 2:30pm which sucks but is also good but I'm always tired!
2. Daniel just left on his mission yesterday and it's crazy but so good!  We're really proud of him and know he'll do great!
3. I'm not dating anyone.  Surprising I know....not.  Haha.  But I'm not really liking the same boy from before.  But there is a new boy but he's been confusing me lately so who knows what will happen with him.  I've decided though to just back off and see what happens, if anything.  Stupid boys.
4. I graduate in April.  Crazy.  I still can't believe it's happening.  It's going to be good but I'm a little nervous to enter the "real world."  It makes me want to keep going to school so I never have to get a real job.
5. I'm still playing the guitar and I've been learning a lot of new songs that I love.  I've been trying to write songs but I've been in writer's block so hopefully something will come.

Ok that's basically my life right now.  Boring I know but that's life right now!  Ok now update me on your lives!  Stat!  Love you all!
