I'm working!!!

I started my new job yesterday I am so excited!! :-D It was just the orientation but that is important to learn everything you need to know about the company. I learnt yesterday that it is a really safe environment they have specialist teams working there to keep us safe. In my interview the guy asked me what job I was interested in and the position is called instocks, it sounded the most interesting. That was until I found out (obviously I didn't read the job description!) that it was an early morning job. haha Most of my shifts next week start at 7am which is totally fine, not too early, but one of my shifts starts at 4am! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw that! Haha! Oh well. Once I calmed down a bit I realized it's good to have a morning job that way I'll be able to pick up an afternoon job and safe more money. Other than that shocking revelation I am SO happy to be working again it feels so great! I think the job is scanning the products into the system knowing how many there are, how many you need, I can't remember 100% but it sounded like something new so I think I will enjoy it despite the early mornings.

Be wise with your time

Our lesson in relief society today was on Ian S. Arden's General Conference talk from October of last year (http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/a-time-to-prepare?lang=eng). I distinctly remember this talk, it cut me to my very core about how much time I waste on things that just don't matter. Today was a great refresher because I am ashamed to day that I have really slacked off in that department. I mean I haven't even finished my dissertation for goodness sake! I can't find time to work on it for 20mins but I can find time to write this blog or update my facebook status or send some emails or go shopping. The Lord has given up ample time to complete our tasks but sometimes we choose not to take advantage of it. The teacher read out this poem today and it just hit me how we take time for granted and waste the time we have. 


Value Every Moment
Auther Unknown


To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.


To realize the value of a month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.


To realize the value of one week: Ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.


To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. 


To realize the value of one minute: Ask the person who has missed the train.


To realize the value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident. 


To realize the value of on millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.


Time waits for no one.


Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.


Have you ever thought of a millisecond being anything of value? I sure haven't. I truly hope that we can all realize the time we do have now and not wait till it's too late. Be careful to prioritize the things that matter most in your life. Were you too busy to talk to your Heavenly Father this morning? Then you took for granted the knowledge you have that you have a Father in Heaven wanting to hear from you. Did you walk right past your scriptures today because you just didn't have the time to read them but you found yourself 5mins later on facebook or pinning those most important pins to your boards? I know I do these things more often than not and I realized today that it's just a waste of time. Everyday you go by without speaking to you Father in Heaven in prayer is just a wasted day. Every time you walk past your scriptures because you didn't have time to read them are just wasted opportunities to draw closer with the Lord.


Please, when you wake up tomorrow think about the things that matter most and don't waste anymore time putting them off <3

I couldn't help myself....

I know people hate it when you go on and on and on about how amazing your other half is and complain about the kissing photos but tonight I just can't help myself! My Niccy is just so amazing in every way <3 I love how he sucks at surprises it's just so cute. I love how he loves me and puts up with my little temper tantrums about nothing and how he laughs at them and thinks it's cute. I love it when I'm feeling fat and ugly he tells me how much he loves me and that to him I am the most beautiful person in the world no matter what! I miss him everyday but I feel so lucky to know that he's there waiting for me, that he will love me tomorrow and next year and forever. I love his cuddly belly and his warm hands and his gentle kisses. I love that he puts his family first and cares about them unconditionally no matter what. I love hearing him pray and reading the scriptures. I can't wait till we have children cuz he is going to be such a great father and example as he keeps striving to be the best version of himself that he can be. To put it simply, I love everything about him <3

Turning right-side up

So things are finally beginning to work out for me. I've made a friend, her name is Millie and she is so much fun and normal. She's from Idaho Falls and drove up there last week I tagged along with her to visit my cousin and her little family up there. The drive took about 3hrs which isn't long at all, it's like driving from Toowoomba to Caloundra. It was so great to get away and have a break from everything. Being with her kids was like therapy for me cuz I miss my Jakey and Easdales <3 


I have joined a band and I play the tenor saxophone. I've been twice already and I love it! :-D I missed playing music so much! 


The other night I was up till like 2 in the morning applying to jobs and the next morning I had two phone calls to ask me for interviews at Target and Kohl's. I had the Target job interview today and I was offered the job on the spot!!!  :-D I don't know if going to the job interview at Kohl's tomorrow would be a good idea as I already accept this position. I am just so happy that I have a job! I can't wait to start!

Sick again

I haven't posted for a few days cuz I've been sick so therefore nothing to post about really. It's been awful this past week with a sore throat and stuffed full of mucus from my head all the way down to my toes! Talk about disgusting! I'm almost better so yeah! I said to mum this morning that I want to get into a routine starting Monday cuz I should hopefully be back to 100% by then. So next week I will go to the library everyday to do work on my dissertation and go to the gym every afternoon. Accomplishing both of these things should help me feel better about myself. 

On Sunday I made a friend at church, her name is Jessica. She sat next to me in Temple Preparation Sunday School class, it was both of our first time there. We got to talking and her fiance lives in California so I immediately thought it would be good for us to be friends cuz we can kinda relate to each other. Until she said that she gets to see him about every 2 weeks. Man! Even when I was living in Australia I ony saw Nic about every 6 weeks. Only 10 months until I can see him everyday for the rest of forever <3

Also on Sunday I drove down south to a place called Midway where some friends from Toowoomba live. It was good to see them and feel like I was home again for a little while.
