So I got a job a Michael's.
I will be on the floor doing stock and such.
I go in today to sign the papers.
I'm only slightly excited because it's a job.
However, it's a job.
I think it's probably for the best though
for specific reasons and all.
Bryan leaves for California on Tuesday.
I start school that day as well.
Then I have a Friends Fiesta
with some gal pals.
Gal pals...
what a funny phrase.
My mom may come up the next day
and stay through Friday.
I miss her
and my grandparents
and my sisters.
Then I'll get to hang out with Bruce...
but that's not until next week.
A bunch of highs but a really big low.
I bought my books for school.
I'm really very excited about throwing clay.
I'm still sad that I won't get to take photography.
I don't feel like I have enough art classes
but there's not a whole heck of a lot I can do about that.
A dear sweet elderly lady,
Norma,
has cancer in her knee.
Pray for her.
Bryan and I are still looking for a house to rent.
There's places all over for sale
but we don't think we're gonna live here for
more than two years.
We're too far from my side of the family.
We still can't find our camera.
I think we've given up.
The Bible is a really good read.

Michaels Craft Store -Event Coordinator
I had a job interview this morning at Michael's
(It's a craft store).
She started talking to me about hiring me for
stock
but then realized that I'm into art,
so she talked to me about being a coordinator
for the crafting department.
That sounds awesome.
Pray for God's will with this job!
P.S. Still haven't found our camera... :(

I'm shrinking!!
So for our anniversary
Bryan got a hotel room-
an Executive Suite.
It was awesome.
Living room, eat-in area,
small kitchen, king sized bed,
ginormous bathroom...
It had a shower, two sinks
and a jacuzzi!
It was great.
Yesterday, Keith came over
and helped Bryan with our white car.
It has been sitting in the parking lot
since November.
It needed work done on it but we
could only afford what had to be done
immediately.
The rest had to wait until we could
afford for it to be done.
About $300 worth.
Since we had let it sit for so long
the battery was dead,
the gas was bad
and something else wasn't looking so hot.
So yesterday they worked on the car
and two hours and $30 later it was fixed.
Imagine that.
However, Bryan didn't walk away without
getting bit by a hornet.
Twice.
There was a hornets nest behind
the drivers side mirror.
I saw two-
Then warned.
Bryan swatted-
Then ran.
The hornet attacked-
then bit... hard.
Poor Bryan.
Last night we had a meeting for
the discussion of VBS.
It went really well and I'm now
excited for next years!
So far...
I have lost eighteen pounds.
So on Saturday I got to go shopping
because my clothes are getting to big!
Wahoo!!

What a week!!!
Wow.
This week was nuts.
Monday-Friday we had VBS and I
was Professor Clutz the crafting scientist.
Although it was a little crazy, stressful and hectic
at times,
it was a lot of fun.
Last night was the craziest of the complete
three weeks.
I had to go in at 3:30 to
get all of the crafts set up for collection,
clean up from the previous night,
finish any crafts that were left unfinished
due to lack of time,
and set up for the nights crafts.
Bryan and I didn't get there til 4:00,
then Bryan only got to help for so long because
Keith needed help picking up a root beer keg.
So I was on my own.
I got some extra help from Miss Ashleigh
(she helped me a lot this week. Thanks Ash).
We had just beat the clock and made it in time.
During the first craft I had to use a hot glue gun
and I burnt myself.
On the tip of my middle finger.
It seriously hurt for three hours.
Throbbing, burning pain all the way
up my arm.
I had to keep my finger
dipped in ice water.
A ton of people helped me out
and took good care of me.
I now have a giant blister
and my finger is numb.
It'll heal.
After it was all said and done
we cleaned the whole church.
So many people helped out and pitched in
it got done in about an hour.
And the place was spic and span.
Afterwards, when everyone had gone home,
we went to leave and
found an anniversary card
on our windshield.
It was a beautifully handmade
and signed by a lot of wonderful people.
Bryan and I are still really touched
by the beautiful sentiment.
We feel truly blessed
having such wonderful people in our lives.
So all in all
Bryan and I had a wonderful week
at VBS
and a wonderful third anniversary.

It's really been a while...
12
I finished class. I'm now done until fall. Summer finally began at 2:00pm that day. I got an A- in the class and an A in my human bio.
School starts back up again Aug.21. This is my final semester. I'm very excited.
12-15
We went down to Grama and Grampa's.
After having left at 7:30pm, due to unfortunate work reasons, we didn't arrive at our destination until midnight. We were both really tired and ready for be, however, the car refuses to drive itself. Stubborn thing.
We had a really fun weekend. Played yahtzee, hung out with everyone. It was a good time.
Grampa is having surgery again at the end of August. Keep him in your prayers. Grama is retiring on the 17. She's really excited.
16-infinity
JoAnna and I have been working on our parts for VBS.
Note* There are many other people working very hard on their own part as well.
Almost everyday JoAnna and I have been at the church painting banners for the walls. It's a space theme and so there is a lot of black and silver. It's good fun but a lot of time.
JoAnna is the director, the main woman in charge, so she has a lot of stuff to do to get ready for this coming Monday. Because of all of that, I'm very grateful that I'm not the only one painting.
I'm in charge of the crafts. I'm very excited. I've been collecting all of the material for each activity and putting a prototype together. It's some good fun.
For the week, I get to be a gooby scientist. I'm deciding between crazy, absent-minded, "blind", or whatever else I can think of before VBS week starts.
Week four.
Yesterday was the start of the fourth week. The second week of the second phase of the Makers Diet.
I know I probably mentioned it before but I had exercised for eight weeks without any results before we did this. And because of the thyroid condition plus my anxiety medicine, I can't loose weight. However, in the first 10 days of the Makers Diet I had lost 10 pounds. I am gradually losing a little bit more each day.
Not only have both Bryan and I lost 10+ pounds each, we both feel so much better, more refreshed and more awake. I have also had a lot of redness in my face for the past 10 years that I couldn't get rid of. But since we started this it has faded. This makes me very happy so I don't have to wear make-up.
It's very lovely.
In other news:
Bryan and I are looking for another place to reside within. We need more room, and a dining room, or even a large kitchen with room for a table, would be nice. We would also like to have three bedrooms. This way we can have company and their only option wouldn't have to be the couch.
We still can't find our not cheap camera. Pray that we will.
