LONG TIME NO BLOG!

Well its been a while since I got on here so a quick update. Work, work and more work oh yeah and I had my wisdom teeth pulled. That was painful! Actually i had 10 teeth pulled. I had all four wisdom teeth my four very back teeth and then two more I broke a while ago, in a crazy football game, that I never got fixed. I have been told several times that one day the four back ones would have to come out because believe it or not my mouth is small. I know that hard for some of you to swallow but its true. Anyway the swelling is gone and now I feel great. Just after the dentist appointment my sister came over with my nephews and i told them I would play with them when I felt better! Well they held me to that. They came over this last weekend and boy did we play. We built a fort, went on a hike, went on a picnic jumped on the trampoline and just played and played. They had so much fun and so did I. My teeth were causing my so much pain before that I didn't realize how much better I would feel after getting them taken care of. Anyway I am glad spring is finally peeking through the clouds. Finally getting to spend more time outside with the animals and working on the garden. Anyway my time is up! See you next blog!

Update!

So like I said the initial date went very well. However, some of the things he told me were lies. Like that he is an active member of the Church, he doesn't drink and that he was not recently engaged. Well all of those are lies. He is not active and he does drink and he was recently engaged and she broke it off when he was caught with someone else. I must say its for the best though. He was a major city boy (even afraid of horses) and then there is me who is totally country. I love anything to do with being outside and I have a horse that I love to ride. Needless to say we will not be going out again. I got all of this wonderful information from a nosey neighbor whom I love dearly. She and her family moved in next door a few years ago and when we heard they were moving in we were disappointed because that meant a family member (literally) would be moving away. Well it has been wonderful. They get along great with our family and I love their kids. Shes like a sister and she was concerned because she had heard some things about him so she asked the sister to the girl he was engaged to. She told her things about him and she relayed them to me. I must say I am grateful for her concern! So I was just thinking its funny how life works out. I mean we look toward certain events but they really never work out the way we expect them to. Sometimes, like in the date situation, they work out worse than expected and sometimes, like the new neighbor, they work out better than expected. Either way they work out it always turns out to be the best for you at that point in your life. Somtimes we don't see it that way at the time but looking back I think we appreciate the trials and the circumstances that we are given. I believe thats what makes us who we are and shapes us into the people we become.

Not So Bad!!

OK so the blind date was not so bad! Actually it went very well. At least I think it did. You all know that I am not a big talker at first I have to break out of my shell. Well by the end of the night my shell had started to break but I really did not talk much. He probably thinks I'm the most boring person ever. I hope he gives me another chance to show him the real me. He said he had a good time and would like to hang out again so I hope he meant it. He is a really nice guy, cute, sweet (he says hes a jerk but I didn't see it) a big tease and just alot of fun. So thats how that went!

Valentines Day

What is up with Valentines Day? Actually this Blog is more about Blind Dates than Valentines Day itself. In my life I have gone on two blind dates neither have gone well at all. (OK so I do have to correct myself I have gone on three blind dates one of them was not so bad.) So a friend of mine calls and wants me to go with her brother to a Valentines Dance and even though I swore I would never go on another blind date I said yes. Now I trust this friend and she says he just wants to go as friends not really looking for anything more so no big deal.... OK so maybe it is a big deal the guy calls me to kind of introduce himself (good idea) well AJ, being the bright girl I am, totally blows the conversation. I was at work and anyone who knows me knows I do not like to talk on the phone anyway and so it was just kind of strange. Anyway I did not do alot of talking and what I did say may have come off as stupid. (I have a tendency to sound dumb when I talk on the phone.) So my worst fear is that he will think I am dork and decide before we even go that he is not going to have a good time and it ends badly. I sure hope not but if thats what happens like I said in my last blog everything happens for a reason! Happy Valentines Day!

Everything for a Reason!

I have come to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason. I knew that the big things that happen in our lifes happen for a reason but I am talking about small everyday things. For example something as small as getting food on your clothes and having to change them before you leave. You never know when that could have saved your life. I know it sounds corny but think about it! God is all knowing. He can help us avoid catastrophy or even avoid us stubbing our toes if he wants to. I have also come to the realization that God is in control. He will bless us if we do whats right and choice the right path and he will not bless us if we don't choice the right path. Does this mean that someone who may not make the right choices will have a miserable life? No! It just means that we are happier when we receive blessings from our Father in Heaven. Also sometimes there are two paths that can be taken neither one is better than the other they both look to be equally wonderful. At this point neither plan looks like the wrong choice but obviously we can not take them both so whats the answer then. Well this goes back to the fact that God is all knowing. We pray and he will guide us in the direction we should go. The importance of having a good relationship with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is beyond our understanding but it should be the most important thing in our life. If it is I believe everything else in our lives will work out and we will be able to deal with anything that comes out way!

My Day!

My day so far... I got up got dressed and came to work. I went to the Dentist!!!!!!! Yikes! I hate going to the dentist, I am totally terrified of them. But we have to do things we don't want to do. Of course I got bad news I have to have a few teeth pulled. Luckily he offers sedation! Yes that means I will get to sleep through it all and not remember any of it. Am I like totally lucky or what!? In my opinion that is the only way to have your teeth worked on. It's amazing what we do to avoid pain and fear. I was talking with one of my friends and she was like I would be more affraid of the sedation than the work getting done. I dunno I guess it's a matter of opinion. I am still at work. As for tonight I will probably go home eat dinner, go to the gym work out and then go home and go to bed. How exciting is that?! Kind of matches my life not alot of excitement but its my life and I love it!

January 30

So this is my first post and its a little strange. I am not sure what to put on here. I am sure that as time goes by I will be able to come up with something. That first step into anything always seems to be the hardest. I actually started this after reading Steiners Blog. Thanks Dusti! Anyway, I hope I can stay in touch with more people this way. Thanks AJ
