Grr...what started with a crapy week, ending a lot better! :D

Well, I failed the Pharmacy Tech test again... I'm really starting to wonder if this path is right for me...? :P I shouldn't fail a test 3 times! I'll try to take it again... I'm just so confused with it! :P I don't know really if I want to try for a 4th time... :(

I did find a plan B if things don't work out... I don't really care if I don't get the job because it probably will just tell me to try again! I seriously just want a good steady income to help me get back to school and get back out on my own as well as benefits to help cover for TMJ Treatment... Friday a friend of mine put on facebook that jet blue airlines are hiring Inflight crew till the 26th. And she would send a recommendation letter, we just needed to let her know that we sent in an application. I think it would be pretty fun to travel, I just wouldn't be home so much... :( But they have great benefits, I would be able to get Health, eye, Dental, and Life insurance! My family and I would be able to get discount tickets to fly. It would be awesome to have that for when we go up to the Calgary, Alberta Temple Open house.

My Friend Stefanie Grawe Despain got married Friday! :D I'm so excited for her! :D Congrats Mr and Mrs. Despain on your Marriage!!! :D

Deitrick's Birthday and Six months...

September 2nd is Deitrick's Birthday, this year he turned 22! :D I was able to have the day off to spend the whole day with him! :D It was so much fun! :D I slept at my friend's house the night before, then in the morning, Deitrick and our friend Larry came and picked my friend Jessica Fratcher up and we went out for ihop for Breakfast/lunch. Then went and looked at Deitrick's favorite Car the Sion TC. It looks pretty awesome! :D



See! Looky! It's pretty sweet! :D



See look at the engine! on the left side is where you can change the oil, and other liquids that you are able to fix with out ruining the engine.. the right side you see the battery, and other things that, only the mechanic can play with to fix what ever can go wrong... there is so much room! :D

Then we helped Jessica what was wrong with her car, which was crazy, she needs to sell that thing for parts... or something... cause the Battery was out of shape like crazy! :P And the alternater was bad, and other things were wrong! :P Since it was an automatic it was jerking at certain rpms, and it was a automatic that you could drive manual... it was skipping a gear... and it was kinda scary to ride in... :P

After that, we went up to the Gateway mall, and just walked around and looked at a couple stores... :D I think we had a good time! :D

Getting used to things at home... somewhat...

So I moved back home to Lehi a few weeks ago... and I've been getting used to having Curfews... :P And being home again... I LOVE having my own space, and I don't exactly have a lot of that to myself... you have to go through my room to get to the family room... although it's going to change soon after I finally finish unpacking my boxes, and sorting my room out, and getting ride of some JUNK! :P My Dad plans on finishing the family room after the 21st of August...

Anyways, I've had a Netflix Membership since Christmas of '09. And I Love it! I get one movie at a time for nine bucks a month! :D Since I've lived at home I've had a classic cartoon home about every week... soon I'll be getting movies that I want to watch... But about every tuesday night it's my night with my Little sisters! And Boy do they LOVE spending time with me! :D And I Love being able to spend time with them! They are so fun, and make my day and make me smile! They are gorgeous and amazing little girls! ;)

Purple! Purple! Purple! Oh! Did I mention Purple? ;)

Yes! I changed my blog and I totally like this a ton! I was hoping there would be one with swimming lanes on it because I would totally do it! :D But Purple does it pretty well don't you think? ;) And Yes My favorite color is purple(incase you didn't notice;) haha! Yes I'm a tinsy bit obsessed with the color! :D Ok you caught me it's an exageration! I admidt I'm obsessed with the color a lot! Probably a lot more than a lot! ok I think you really got the point now! Anyways, tomorrow is going to be a busy day! :P I'm moving my furniture to my parents house tomorrow! It's going to be an interesting adjustment... and I hope I'll be able to adjust well... if not I'll do my best to live with it till I have the means to be able to move back out on my own again!

Anyways just a bit of an update with my Pharmacy Tech stuff! I'm going to be doing a ton of Tech hours next month like I mean seriously! ;) by the time August is through I'll have close to 100 hours done and I would be able to take the National Tech exam with in a couple weeks after the class is done! When I pass the test(a little positive attitude there! ;) I'll finish my hours and start the Application process to get my Technician License hopefully before Thanksgiving(that is if my plans and dream go through well! ;) Keep the fingers crossed and some prayers as well! I'm totally excited to get this done! If I'm not able to get a Technician job at Taylor Drug, then I'm going to see if I can go to my Boss' new pharmacy to Tech there, if I'm not able to there, then I'll start applying to Hospitals and other retail pharmacies!

I'm so wanting a car so bad! Like I mean bad! I've always wanted a car since before I was even 13 years old! But I kind of knew that I wouldn't get one till I was in my early 20's(that fact I figured out when I actually turned 16)when I either have a college degree or if I got married... yeah... looks like I may be getting a car before then! ;) I want to get a car shortly after getting my Technician License so that if I do need to travel, I wouldn't have to worry about driving the BUS anymore! I hate the bus! I'd prefer having a ride or even BETTER, Driving! ;)

My Dream car I totally want? Yeah! a Mazda 3 or a new Kia Forte SE(sports type deal)(Manual drive on both cars) Mazda 3 is a very cute car, but it's also FAST! Heck yes! ;) but I like to drive safe too... I don't exactly want to get a speeding ticket! The Kia Forte is the same thing as a Kia Sephia and the Kia Spectra, it just has more stuff in it to make it fast, and really people don't think of Kia when buying a car, it's not a common car, but it's a pretty good car! I haven't test driven or ridden in the Kia Forte, but the interior looks amazing it has a 6 speed and has really good trunk room! ;) I've ridden in a Mazda 3! ;) haha! Deitrick's older Brother has one and I freaking love the ride! It's very smooth! And Both cars have good leg room in the back seat(at least of what I remember...) But I think the Kia Forte has better leg room...

When I get myself a car though, I'll probably get a simple $2,000 car, nothing made my GM though, probably a honda or an older Kia Spetcra or Sephia depending on what I find, I hope it'll last me till I can get myself one of my Dream Cars! ;) I'm so Excited! ;)

Oh! What color? Well, since purple isn't really that great of a color on a car, I probably won't get a purple exterior, but I'll probably get a silver car of some sort, and put purple Seat Covers, and some stickers on the windows that are purple! ;)

Interesting Weekend

Jack took a long look at his speedometer
Before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone.
Fourth time in as many months..
How could a guy get caught so often?

When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour,
Jack pulled over, but only partially.
Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard..
Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror.
The cop was stepping out of his car,
The big pad in hand..

Bob? Bob from Church?
Jack sunk farther into his trench coat.
This was worse than the coming ticket.
A cop catching a guy from his own church.
A guy who happened to be a little eager
To get home after a long day at the office..
A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow..

Jumping out of the car,
He approached a man he saw every Sunday,
A man he'd never seen in uniform.


'Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.'



'Hello, Jack.' No smile.

'Guess you caught me red-handed
In a rush to see my wife and kids.'

'Yeah, I guess.' Bob seemed uncertain.
Good.

'I've seen some long days at the office lately.
I'm afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once.'

Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement.
'Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight.
Know what I mean?'

'I know what you mean.
I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct .'
Ouch.
This was not going in the right direction.
Time to change tactics.

'What'd you clock me at?'

'Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?'

'Now wait a minute here, Bob.
I checked as soon as I saw you.
I was barely nudging 65.'
The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.

'Please, Jack, in the car'

Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard..
He was in no rush to open the window.

The minutes ticked by.
Bob scribbled away on the pad..

Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?

Whatever the reason,
It would be a month of Sundays
Before Jack ever sat near this cop again.

A tap on the door jerked his head to the left.
There was Bob, a folded paper in hand
Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches,
Just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.

'Thanks..'
Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.

Bob returned to his police car without a word.
Jack watched his retreat in the mirror.
Jack unfolded the sheet of paper.
How much was this one going to cost?

Wait a minute.
What was this? Some kind of joke?

Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:

'Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter..
She was six when killed by a car.
You guessed it - a speeding driver.
A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free.
Free to hug his daughters, all three of them.
I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven
Before I can ever hug her again.

A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man.
A thousand times I thought I had.
Maybe I did, but I need to do it again.
Even now.
Pray for me.
And be careful, Jack,
my son is all I have left.'

'Bob'

Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car
pull away and head down the road.
Jack watched until it disappeared.
A full 15 minutes later, he too,
pulled away and drove slowly home,
praying for forgiveness and
hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived...

Life is precious.
Handle with care.
This is an important message;
please pass it along to your friends.
Drive safely and carefully.
Remember, cars are not the only things
recalled by their maker.

Pass this on,
you may save a life.
Maybe not,
but we'll never know if we don't try.

May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
'I believe that friends are quiet angels
who lift us to our feet
when our wings
have trouble remembering how to fly.'

I got this in an e-mail today from my dad... and I almost cried and definitely had the chills! I would hate to loose a child to someone that was speeding down the road, I would have a hard time. But I would have a hard time, but I would forgive the person I've done it before, it wasn't easy, it needed to be done, and I did it. Just watch yourself and people on the street! ;) and thought I'd share. :D

Anyways, when I was reading I thought about an accident I saw the other day... I was just out driving out with my boyfriend and our friend Rainbow! And we go on 4th N. and 8th W. in Orem, and we see a car that's up side down and there is damage to the building right next to it... As well as car parts by a tree and everywhere! Well, of course we got curious as to how this car got to where it was because it's not everyday that you see a result of an accident a building having damage and the car is damaged that it's not a doubt that it's totaled! So we get closer to the scene. We were hearing rumors of what happened but those rumors didn't make sense at all! But my Boyfriend was able to talk to a couple witnesses. They said that a girl was running away from the police(kind of fishy... :P) and they are speeding and in the middle of the road, she sees a couple cars coming and she slams on her breaks, drifts hits a curb and goes flying through a tree then on top of the building where the passenger was knocked out of the car, and he started running away... and the car landed upside down by the building.

Yeah.... learned a few things... LOL Don't run away from cops it'll end up bad no matter what you try to do...(jail definitely, death or serious injury, if lucky) and if you're going high speeds on a road, don't slam on the breaks let go of the gas to let your car slow down! As well as the fact DON'T BE STUPID! And risk killing someone! Be careful out there people!

So I came up with my decision of what to do, and I have to pack everything in my room by Thursday and clean what I'm supposed to clean by Saturday! This week is going to be busy! I shouldn't even be on here to begin with! LOL Anyways, I decided to move back home with my parents... mixed feeling about it... I'm excited to be able to go home and save my money! And being able to see my family, but I really like being out on my own! Having my own curfew! And being able to do what ever I want! :D I want to be able to get a car, and finish up my Pharmacy Tech license! Then save up for what I may need to be able to move out on my own again! :D

Moving Somewhere? Staying? Or Moving back Home?

Earlier this week My roommate told me that she was offered to move in with her Grandparents in Lehi, so it's my choice if I want to stay? Move to another place? Or Move back home in Lehi? Well, I have asked someone if they wanted to be my roommate. And I told them that they needed to let me know by the 17th. Because that would be about 2 weeks for me to start packing... and yeah, I also looked at a place... it is bigger than my place but the room that I would be staying in is smaller... but has a pretty good sized closet... and I have a storage shed in the backyard to put extra stuff there. ;) So I put in an application. and I should know by Sunday if I'm going to be able to move in or not... And if I don't get chosen and my friend says no... then I'll move back to Lehi where I'll be able to save money, as well as, I'll be able to see my sisters more often! ;) And When I get my Pharmacy Technician License, I will probably want to move back out again, as well as get myself a car! I've always wanted a car! I LOVE TO DRIVE!!! :D It's my favorite thing to do, and I haven't done it a whole lot since I moved out of my parents house! I've driven a few times in the old camery, my parent's Van, their New Kia, my ex-boyfriend's Car(when we were dating), and my current Boyfriend's Car(before she died...). My current boyfriend taught me how to drive a manual drive Car! :D And I so want one to keep practicing on... a little nervous... but I'll be able to have better Gas millage than an Automatic car! And be entertained while I drive. ;) And In someways I'm set on moving back home in Lehi, I just like being independent, and having my own space, being able to have some alone time and breath! And I haven't had a T.V. for almost a year! I've watched movies! ;) I don't think I'll watch a lot of T.V. anymore... I find other things to do... even if it's just going on the computer... LOL. Sure I love some T.V. Shows... but I don't even know if the ones that I have liked for like ever are still on... Like Numbers, Ghost Whisper, I think NCIS is still going on. :D But yeah, I'll keep you updated on what I decide to do... I hope everything works out no matter what I decide to do! ;)

My next blog post will be my 100th post on this blog!!!!! :D What do you guys want me to Blog about???? Please tell me!! Cause I haven't got a clue! Cause I'll probably blog before I make my decision anyways... :D So tell me please!! :D
