spring

I am enjoying a beautiful Spring day. It is in the 80's. We actually hit 95* this week, crazy. I am enjoying it today My home teachers came today so I didn't get to the library, I am attempting this post w my phone. We'll see how long it lasts. I got to see 'Oz, the Great and Powerful.' I really liked it. My Dad and my friend, Darlene, come next week, so I have been getting ready for that. Will cram as much fun in as possible! Work continues to be busy... Yay!!! My friend Carrie got to stay at a Sheraton on my friend rate. It is super easy to do, so if you are family or close friend and need a hotel, just let me know!! I can hook you up :-) Busy week ahead w church activities. Will have to post more later. A friend, Dale Elsik, passed away last week. Wish I had lots of money so I could have flown in for the funeral. Sent flowers instead. I taught both his daughters in church. Always had fun w him too. He will be missed.

I'm a Missionary!

Lots of changes happening now. My Spa boss had his last day... so SAD! We had a going away potluck for him. There is a guy that I work with that needs to open his own bakery because he is amazing!! He likes to bring goodies in and I like to eat them. I tend to help out "in the back" (putting away laundry, folding towels etc.) so he said he would make me something any time I needed--so I asked him to make a cake for the potluck. This is what he came up with:

This is our logo-- he made a yellow cake with blueberry buttercream frosting in between the layers. It was really good!! I am still bossless at the spa. Made for an interesting week. It was ok until Saturday when it was busy...

Not sure when Massage Envy bosslady will leave. But changes to come there too.

After living in my ward since Thanksgiving--I finally got 2 callings!! I am on the RS Activity committee and a Ward Missionary! I am really excited for both callings. Glad to finally have a calling really. 

I know I am a little slow---but I finally got to read Pres Monson's biography. I have had it for several years, but it mistakenly got put in storage when I moved to AZ and now that I am in my own place-- it came out of storage. It was really good. I just love him. I did not realize how impressive his memory is! I think time must slow down for him-- I don't know how he has done everything he has!! And-- I didn't realize the Germany temple was built "behind the Wall"! If you haven't read his story-- you need to. I hope to be a little more like him.

I get to see my Dad at the end of the month-- and Darlene is coming to visit! YAY! I am really excited. She and I are supposed to go to DC this Summer-- not sure that I will be able to due to finances. I hope to. We'll see. I am thinking of going to BYU Women's Conference in May. But then that costs money to get there too... Why can't I meet a millionaire that wants to give me his or her money? Hmmnn.
