SHE IS BORN!!!

So yesterday I got a call about 6:50 from Stephanie Sparks, my case worker with LDS Family Services, and she told me that Berlin had the baby that day(September 10th). I was so excited, mostly for Vaughn and Amy to get this new wonderful blessing, and also for a bit of a selfish reason, I'm glad I'm a couple days away from having to deal with this whole situation. Now I can finally 100% move on and not have to worry about anything. That is such a great thought. I can't wait. I was only told that she was born and that she is okay, so when I get more information I will post it.

"Abi something. ... Abi something? ... Yes, abi normal. ... Abi normal? You're telling me that I put an abnormal brain in a 7 foot tall, 60 centimeter wide gorilla!!!"

P.S. to the last

Sorry for the crappy resolution on my pictures. I have to use my camera on my phone cause I don't have a "real" camera to use down here. . . sad day.

"This is the end of a really sad story."

For the benifit of Mr. Kite there will be a show tonight

Okay so I'm a wee bit pissed right now, I just spent the past 10 minutes writing an AWESOME post and I hit the wrong button and accidentally deleted it! I am way pissed at my self for doing that cause now I have to try and rewrite it....sorry if this one sucks!
--------------------------------------------------
Well now that I am for sure staying in Ephraim I have started working on my huge bulletin boards I have in my room (with the help from Lyric). I hope she doesn't get mad at me for the pictures, though I doubt she will :) She did make the picture thing in one of the pictures. (it makes me happy) Thanks Lyric!!!
My job is crazy, its a lot to learn, the computer
program and all, but it's good. It's tiring having a
full day again. Now I get up at 7:15, work by 8:00, class at 10:25, lunch/office hour 11:30, a short break from 12:30 to 1:00, back to work by 1:00, off work at 6:00, on-line class till 7:00, on duty (at least twice a week) at 7:00 (homework/my newest hobby fantasy football{thought I would give it a try}/dinner on all the other nights I am not on duty), bed at 11:30 or 1:30 depending on the night. I am so glad that I have EVERY Saturday and Sunday off. That makes it so nice that on those late nights I may have to be up I can sleep in the next day.
Yeah, I'll admit it, I joined an on line fantasy football league. One of the guys I work with was talking about it today and it made me want to try it. I have always wanted to but never really had the time to watch football every Sunday and track stats but since I'll be in the middle of no where for this football season why not try it. Especially for free!
Well the due date came and went and no news, I don't really expect to hear any from Berlin but I'm going to send her an e-mail, cause we know she won't answer a call or text, and ask her to PLEASE tell me when she's going into labor and when baby Olivia is born. I don't care if it's her Mom or Dad or even her sister that texts or calls me, I just want to know. I think that is a very reasonable request. I did even send a couple of e-mails to Vaughn and Amy just making sure everything with them is going okay and to see how excited they are. I am so grateful for them and how blessed I am that I know them. They really are the perfect and intended family for this amazing little baby.
Well seeing as how I am totally exhausted and have to be up earlier than I have been for a while tomorrow I will be heading to bed now. Keep tuning in for more "live" updates on the boring life and activities here in good ol' E-town.
Buona Notte!!

I GOT A JOB

So yesterday I was sitting in the cafeteria after an Italian quiz and I got a voice mail, (I get crappy reception here so sometimes voice mails just show up). I called and checked it and it was a guy from the place I interviewed last week, he was asking me to come in and take another test. So I called and told them I was on my way. When I got there I did a little test, and the manager says, "Don't worry, we'll teach you how to do it better." BAM!! Greg got a job. So they asked me when I could start, so I asked if Tuesday was too early, and he replies, "How about today?" DONE! I went home ate a quick lunch and went back and had my first day at work.
So long story short I got a job and now I can stay in school this year.
Then when I got home there was some kids around 10 pm that wanted to start a Star Wars Marathon a.k.a. watch all of them in one night. I informed them that is quite impossible because it takes about 12 hours to watch all 6 but they didn't care. So we started watching them and before i knew it I had passed out and was gone all night long. So finally I stumble to my room and sleep till around 11:30. I had forgotten how much a full days work takes it out of you. But all in all I am glad to be working and getting the chance to stay in school this year.

"These aren't the droids you're looking for."

REALLY!?!

School is great and life in the dorms is interesting as ever. The kids down the hall smell horribly and the girls upstairs like to run, scream, and slam doors. But none of that is as frustrating as waiting to hear back about a job and then never hearing. I called them yesterday to check about my job and they told me they have been so busy that they have yet to have an opportunity to interview anyone else and that they will call me thursday or friday. Well if they hired me they wouldn't be so busy!! Seriously! I've done everything so that they could hire me, lightened my school load, opened up my schedule and moved things around, spoke with my RA boss so that I am allowed a full time job. JUST HIRE ME.
Okay enough of my ranting, sorry I'm just really stressed because I have bills coming up that I need to pay and I have 0 dollars oh and did I mention I still have no way to buy the one book I need for my class . . awesome.
All this stress has gotten to me and I woke up with a cold sore, yeah . . that's different story there. LAME.
So this Monday is the 6th and some of you may know what that means. I'm a bit anxious about that cause it could happen any day now and I am just ready to have this whole situation done and over with. Vaughn and Amy probably feel the same way, I can't imagine how excited they are and they just can't wait. I am so happy and grateful for them. Well I gotta run, love being an RA.

"You dumped a porn star?! . . Friendship OVER!"

Good feeling, wont you stay with me just a little longer.

The title of this post comes from an amazing Violent Femmes song "Good Feeling". It's just a very relaxing and has been very well written.
Well the second day of school has come and gone, and I have realized that I get to drop all my classes except for my Italian class and I'm pick up an on-line one so I stay above half time status for my financial aide. The reason for this is because I got a job interview with American Car Care here in Ephraim for a full time job. Tim, my RA boss, said that its okay if i drop some classes so that I can have a full time job and stay here as an RA but only as long as I am still in school some what, so I found a way and now I'm just really praying that I can get this job tonight then I won't have to move back home and I can finish school here.
It's been really nice living away from home again, I love my family and all that but really it is so nice being out and on my own . . some what, I'm not sure how much on your own you are when you live in on campus housing. But still all that aside, i love it.

"Don't say that!..What?...That, . the Zed word."

Sleepless Nights

So I spent my night last night rolling over and over and over. I couldn't sleep, I had too much going on in my head. I am so stressed cause I don't want to leave here and go back home. Not really cause it means moving back into my parents basement but more that it means I won't be in school AGAIN this year. I can't handle not being in school and working to get it done. I want to finish so badly. And also I was having issues with a resident last night that kept me up and reading and rereading the housing contract.
I'm pretty sure I would hate to move back home. The building is almost full so it's been pretty fun to walk around and have people to talk to and hang out with. That and I don't know where I would work to make enough to move out once I did move back, if I have to.
So I spent my night reading, because if I didn't I would just sit and stress and freak out. I was reading World War Z, it is amazing. It is so well written, it is very believable. Other than the fact that it is about zombies, it is really creepy. I love it. I need to buy it so I can reread it later. I'm not sure where my fascination with zombies came from, but I find them very interesting and entertaining. So if you're looking for a creepy/good book, World War Z is a must.
