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. 

Technology

Today I am grateful for technology! :-D I'm grateful for emails, facebook and skype. I love being able to keep in contact with my friends and minutes (sometimes seconds) later receive a response! It's amazing to say the least! I love being able to hear what going on in their lives like new boyfriends and babies learning to walk and talk, new husbands and hearing that they are happy and healthy. I just love them! Even though I'm so far away I can still feel involved.


How amazing is skype?! Like seriously! It makes distance seem like a fickle thing cuz you can see their face and their smile and their eyes <3 the only thing you're missing are the cuddles and kisses. (I don't know how I'm going to survive 6months without those 2 things!! lol skype does make it a lot easier, although sometimes it does make it harder) 

Missing home

The past couple for days we've had friends from Aus staying with us on transit to Ireland. It was so nice having them here cuz it made it feel like home <3 When they left this morning is probably what sparked my 'loneliness' (not quite the word I'm looking for but it seems to fit). I just feel like crying because I just  have nothing to do everyday (except my dissertation, but I haven't really been in the right head space to write). I'm feeling down because I'm not being active, I need to get into a routine and go to the gym. I know once I start going to the gym I will feel better. And when I lose all this weight I'll feel even better! I'm just not motivated, I know that sounds absolutely crazy but when I don't have a schedule and I can't drive myself there and plus it's freezing it just gives me excuses not to go lol I miss my friends back home. Today I really wished I was back home in Toowoomba <3

Sick

I've been sick the past couple of days so I haven't been able to do anything. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about everything I still need to do. Finding a real job is very hard! I need to write a new resume and get another reference from a lecturer that is unpredictable in answering emails. I'm really scared that I'm not going to be able to get a good job. There are so many hoops to jump through and being sick has just put a damper on my preparations and I just feel like it's hopeless. But I guess I have no choice, I need to buck up and just do it. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better and finally organise myself into some sort of routine and make a list of what I need to get done and when it needs to be done. 


Miss my house, my routine, my car, my friends and summer. Buuuuuuut I love being with my family <3 I guess a girl can't have everything she wants. Change is just hard that's all.

So Much To Do

I've been here in America for over a week now and I realised today that there is still so much for me to do. I'm still trying to sort out a job, we went to the offices today and they said that we had to come back tomorrow so that was a little set back, hopefully everything can be sorted out tomorrow. The sooner I get this job the sooner I can start saving money for my wedding!


Also today I remembered that I need to get my butt moving on finishing this dissertation, I need to get writing!!! What a nightmare! Buuuuuuuut it will be worth it in the end. 


Went to a YSA family home evening tonight...it sucked! Haha! We decorated sugar cookies for Valentines Day and watched this video they made based on Ammon and King Lamoni, it was pretty funny but it was nothing compared to what we got at home. Hopefully Institute will be better. I can't wait to go to institute I really need that boost in my scripture reading. I was looking at the different courses I can choose from and I was so excited to see that there is a course specifically for helping you improve your personal scripture study. Bring on tomorrow :-D
