Our Trip to Disneyland!!

Well, One of Trent's old mission companions, Greg Colledge, won four free tickets to Disneyland and California Adventure!! Well his wife Melissa won them =) They really wanted us to go with them and we really wanted to go too. We just didn't have the money to go. I only had my fill in job and Trent hasn't worked one day yet with that tow company. So we had told them that we didn't think we would be able to go. I guess they really wanted us to go with them because they said they would pay for gas and the hotel!! They said they would bring food with them too!! I mean how nice can they get!!! And how lucky could we get!! I mean seriously! So we drove to Utah to spend the night at Greg and Melissas. The next morning we left for Disneyland!! My first time ever!!! It was amazing! We spent two days in the parks. Oct 30th and Oct 31st. It was super fun being there for Halloween! They had a lot of decorations and it was themed awesome!! The first day we were in the parks for 12 hours!! The next day 14!! Our feet and legs were tired! But we had soo much fun!! Trent had told us about the pin trading that goes on at Disneyland and Greg and Melissa really wanted to do it. So they bought some pins and starting trading. I decided that I wanted to do it also since everyone else was. So that was my souvenir from the trip. It made the trip even more enjoyable and I am glad that we were all able to do it together. =) I will put up a few of my favorite pictures from the trip. Enjoy!

Lots going on!

Wow! Have I had a lot going on last month and this month!! I got a job at an assisted living home at the beginning of last month. I was very lucky to get this job. Even though I was only getting a few hours. I was a fill- in for the whole month of October. So I didn't have any set amount of hours. Just sat around waiting for calls to work. I got a few which was nice. But it still wasn't enough. So for the month of November, I got some set hours. I took over this other girl's shift that was Saturday and Sunday 8am-8pm. 12 hour shifts! My first day was this last Saturday. It is very tiring work! I clean bathrooms, rooms, kitchens, bathe and dress the residents. And feed them. There are two people that work a shift and 12 residents that live there. So it stays quite busy!! I didn't want to work Sundays but that was the only kind of work I could find and we were out of money. So I think the Lord will understand. =)

But now!!! On Friday my brother called me and says, hey my boss wants to talk to you. So I went into his work Friday morning to talk to his boss. It is a weightvest company. So I sat down and he showed me right there and then what I would be doing. He started showing me how to sew the vests together. Just the outside part of it. So I was hired on the spot! It was crazy! I started working that day! So I worked Friday, then my 12 hour shifts sat and sun, then I have been working 8-4 this week at the weightvest job. So I got a full time job there. So now I will be working 7 days a week..... I am hoping that next month I will be able to either switch shifts at the assisted living home to only a couple hours a few nights a week or maybe just quit it all together. It depends on how much I can make at this other job or if I can switch shifts. I don't want to have to work Sundays if I have another full time job. And 7 days a week is just too much!! Hopefully I can last this month. I have been pretty tired and sore. I

I am very grateful for all the blessings that Trent and I have received. Right when we get to the bottom, we are somehow blessed by the Lord. I have had more major blessings in the past month and a half then I could ever imagine. I am truly blessed and grateful for what I have. I am also very grateful to all my family and friends for their support. I love you all. =) We have such great neighbors who are willing to help us and be there to lend a helping hand. And wonderful family who will never let us fail in life. Thanks for everything.
