YESSSS! I finally got back my criminal background check and I was cleared! I was getting a little nervous there cause it took so long ;-) Now I am allowed to be one on one with the women, and I can start working in the Children's Center at Shepherd's Door. That will be much better. Don't get me wrong, my time interning so far has been quite ( Read more... )

Ah, Christmas… it is that time now. Tonight we will go to my grandma's two houses down for the extended family Christmas. Then my family and I will open our presents tonight too. Tonight, the 24th is Christmas - not tomorrow, and that is how it has always been ( Read more... )

I’m so bored right now at work. There is absolutely nothing to do. I put stamps on about 500 mailers so that kept me busy for a while, but other than that I’ve only had 4 calls today. Two Mice, one Rat, and one Carpet Beetle call. I’m tired with talking about bugs all day. I have utterly no passion for insects and I think that’s why it is no longer ( Read more... )

WOW. Today I had my interview for the internship at Shepherd's Door and I was blown away! Of the staff there that I met, their faces were just glowing. They have so much joy and satisfaction in what they do. You'd think that working in a homeless shelter there would be a different feel in the atmosphere, but that's just not the case here. What ( Read more... )

Only about 20 days until I turn 20 years old. Whoa that's trippy...

So today was a good day. Instead of writing a paper I baked vegan cookies with my dad and knitted a scarf I was bummed that I couldn't go to dinner with everyone for Heather's birthday because I was required to go to the company's Christmas party for work. You wouldn't think that a pest control company would have much of a Christmas party but ( Read more... )

So my parents got home yesterday from Ephrata and informed me that they found a house. Whoa this is going to be my HOME. That's a crazy thought. So I guess it's a lot smaller than our current house but it is a lot newer so that will be nice. And there is a front porch! I told my mom I wanted to get a porch swing but she said no because she ( Read more... )

So I've decided to stop stressing out and just get some stuff down. It is about that time. Next week is my last week of classes. I can't believe it! Last night Lance, Cody, Scott and I went out to coffee and studied and I actually got a paper done. I was proud of myself cause usually I'm not very productive. I just have a few more papers left ( Read more... )

So maybe I am getting a little stressed. I've been having creepy dreams again, ones where my house is flooding and I can't escape, or a giant spider is chasing me, or I am thinking of adopting a child, or that a friend had 20 piercings in his tongue and wanted even more. Heather seems to think that my subconscious is defiantly a little freaked ( Read more... )
