North Carolina

I'm home and loving well was loving but now I've been here for long enough, nah it's still way exciting. For Christmas I got a lot of clothes that i love and a new coat that I can't wait to wear in the freezing... I'm not to exciting for the freezingness but I'm excited to have anew coat there! Well having a break from working is nice all I really do is fun projects around the house... I'm also getting nervous and excited and everything in between. I'm not really ready to start packing but I'll probably start sooner or later preferably later, packing and unpacking isn't really my favorite thing but going to new places definatley is, kind of ironic I know.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree.


Count down...

home 17 days

christmas 21 days

utah 31 days

idaho 25/26

So thanksgiving was a blast with all of Karlene's kids and their kids. I got to spend time with all of my second cousins that I used to play with when we lived in Jersey and suprisingly I don't think I've seen any of them in years and years! So even though I didn't go home I still had a lot of fun.

Yesterday I went into the city (yes that makes the third week in a row, last week and the week before I went to Canal St China Town) and I got to see the tree it was soooo pretty, we wanted to go ice skating but it was too cold so we just ended up coming home earlier then expected.
P.S I'm planning on going into the city this weekend again or if I go up to Nazareth for the weekend I will go in 2 weeks... I love being so close to the city!!!

Temple

So my job is going good and I'm excited for thanksgiving because even though I won't be able to go home I'll still be able to be around family, but I sure wish I was gonna be around the family since most of them won't be around for Christmas.
Anyways... this weekend I went into the city, so I left bright and early and took the train in. Once there I met a group of young single adults that are in my friends stake, the Scranton PA Stake. We walked around the city see historical/mormonie sites. I have a terrible memory but I do remember a few: we saw the oldest remaining building in NY and the other thing I remember is the newpaper building, the newspaper was called The Mormon. It was after the mormons were already out west but the press in NY was still speaking ill of the mormons so The Mormon began. Another interesting fact I learned was about the mormon characters that were created, it only had 13 characters and they published the Book of Mormon with it (they didn't know anything else about it, like what happened to it and such). After the historic tour we went to lunch in China Town and then to the NYC temple to do baptisms for the dead, it was way awesome (I also bumped into my old Bishop and my mom and dad's good friends the Brabys who live in New Jersey). Afterward my friends, Meaghan, and I just chilled in the city and then hitched a ride with Brett and Erin who also went to do temple work.
Sat. night we went to a yound single adults dance which was well a dance, we were uber later because we stayed in the city so long and well it was a dance so it was fun, I guess, lol.
So that was my eventful weekend:)

Life is Good:)



So my new job is going great. I'm on week to and everything seems to be going even better then I imagined... I help get Nayana to school, clean a lot, do tons of my online class (I'm hoping to have it done by Christmas which means I need to get 3-4 lessons in a week), after school I play with Nayana and take her to activities. At first she wasn't sure how she felt with someone else around, I am their first nanny, but she seems to be warming up to me and of course she has her good days and her bad days but she seems to realize that I'm kinda just like someone here to play with her once she finishes her stuff. My job has a lot of perks too... I get to see Brett and Erin more and it definately costs less, I can help my cousin who lives about 10-15 min away with some house cleaning and make a little extra money, my "boss" (aunt) is a whole lot easier to get a long with and talk to about the job, and one of the really sweet things is that cars I get to drive... I usually drive the 4x4 Lexus but sometimes my aunt needs it to transfer things that won't fit into her car so those days I drive her convertable Lexus (it's a little too cold so I haven't been able to drive with the top down yet).

The end is really just a new beginning.

So today is my last day at this nanny job, I've only been here for two months but it sure has been a long two months. I've learned a lot of things especially ones that will help once I'm a mom. I am so excited to start next week at my new nanny job, working for my Aunt in New Jersey... no more finding activities with no where to begin and no help, no more setting up doctors appointments without knowing anything about the insurance and without knowing what pediatrition to go to, no more working so hard that I the end of the day I'm so tired I can't sleep so I just lay in bed thinking about the fact that I have to do it all over again in about 6 hours, and the list goes on and on... I'm not exactly sure how my new nanny job with my Aunt will work but I'm confident that it will be much more normal then what I've been doing. I am so thankful for the things have a learned here and I now have plenty of stories that down the road will be hilarious, but I am even more thankful for my pray that was answered and for the opportunity I have to be closer to family. So it's now time for me to close this part of my life and begin a new thing! I am so excited!

So yea I am getting old, well sort of... I turned 19 yesterday and came to Brett's. Him and Erin have been great this weekend and even let me stay extra long today (I don't like going back to the house, in NY). So I've been able to have a very relaxing weekend and I am so thankful. Plus I got extra mail and got to open lots of stuff:) And this week the rest of my bday stuff will arrive so it'll be nice to come back next weekend and open some more stuff, happiness! So nothing else is really knew, the job is well going and that's all I can really ask for, lol.

NYC!


So I went into the city with meg this weekend and had a lot of fun. We went shopping of course and I bought a new dress, a fake tiffany and co neckalace from china town and fake chanel earings also from china town. I like to shop:) It was nice to go into the city and see meg again. So once I got back I went out with a friend from the singles ward here which was cool. So basically I just have to put up with another week and then I can have another awesome weekend... general conference weekend is next weekend so I'll get to spend the whole weekend at Brett's, well that's the plan!

American Heritage 110...

I signed up for an online college class yesterday... I'm kinda nervous cause this is my first online class but then again I'm kinda excited cause I have a lot of free time during the day while Trever is at school, well sometimes. So it'll be nice to be doing something productive, instead of just sitting around and watching tv all day. Well yea that's all that's really new all I have to do is wait to recieve the books and the info packet in the mail, which Brett so kindly is allowing me to use his address (Brett you're the best)!

New York

So New York is going well fine so far. I live for the weekends... so far I've gone to Brett's both weekends and had a GREAT time! My new ward is small but everyone seems to be really nice, which is great. But I have already started my count down till I go home for Christmas, yes I know it is a little early for it, but what can I say I'm uber excited.
Well I've only gotten really lost once and of course the Lord works in great ways because I have no idea how I got back to the house but I was lost for about an hour and finally was ready to call Brett and see if you could firgure out where I was and where I should go and then I look up and I'm on the road right outside their neighborhood... it was amazing. I had been having an off day so the Lord decided He had to remind me how amazing life can be if we just ask for His help!
Besides that I'm not too excited for the weekend to end but once the week begins I am one day closer to the next weekend, lol, confusing yes I know. The amazing thing is how blessed I am with such a well paying job... especially since the only expence so far is my traveling on the weekends which I am more then happy to pay inorder to have such great weekends.

My visit home!



So I finished my school at Hawaii:( And I went to see my sister Dacia which was AWESOME! And then in NC I went camping with the family! It was pretty fun. Now I'm in New York working and it's going okay, it's a job what is there to say. And I am visiting Brett and Erin (who is looking uber cute as a pregnant wife) and I'm so excited to see them! I am suprised to say that for probably the first time in my life I was feeling home sick and being aroung Brett and Erin has helped a lot! Well I will try and keep up on this blog thing!
