I know it has a been awhile since I wrote last. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Just last week, I went from being REALLY REALLY high one day to REALLY REALLY low the next. I did a lot of crying, but I took care of it. If it wasn't for a lot of great friends (and wonderful family to talk to), it would've been a lot harder!
I did get a great experience that I never thought would come... I got a promotion at my job!! The best thing is that the door just opened up for me, I just took the opportunity when it was given. I walked into work one day and got an interview for Customer Service (no, I will not be on the phones). I am really really excited about it. It didn't take them long to make the decision and I started some training today and I will officially start next Monday. I don't think it could've come at a better time in my life. I look back at everything and I really needed this. I have been at this company for 2 1/2 years, and I really needed this. It was hard to accept the position because I am so comfortable in Data Entry but I really needed to move on. I am so grateful for being given the chance to do this.
With the low I had, it was probably the lowest low I've had in a really long time. I got some pretty harsh news that I wasn't expecting and it really took me by surprise. I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have that helped me get through that. I am also SOO grateful for my family for being there for me. I got the news at work, as soon as I got off work I called my mom and I just cried to her. She helped me realize that I deserve so much better. I also talked to Nancy and she helped me out a lot. She knows how I feel about somethings and how hard it is to have to go through what did and what I still go through. I did realize that my friends and family will always be there for me no matter what. They are my strength when I need them.
I know I don't tell them enough but I am soo thankful for everything that my friends and family do for me. This past week, I really depended on them for so much! I have the best friends/family anyone could ever ask for! :)
I hope that you know that because I haven't kept up to date on this, isn't because I don't mean to.. I really had to deal with a lot last week. If I could express what that rollercoaster was I would. Some people just won't understand. I know if some knew what it was, their response would be "get over it" or "move on" but for me, it's not that easy. It just takes time (and sometimes a lot of crying)

Taking Chances
The day FINALLY came! Me and Tammy got to go see Celine Dion at the EnergySolutions Arena on Sunday. The concert was originally set back in November but they had to postpone it because Celine Dion got sick. Our seats were WAAAAY up in the nosebleed section but it was worth it! She puts on an AMAZING concert! I am so glad I got to go with Tammy. She is such a huge Celine Dion fan.
I went and picked Tammy up at her house and we got pictures together so when Tammy downloads those, I will try and get a picture of that. We rode Trax into downtown so we wouldn't have to worry about parking, so we went to the 3900 S station. Trax was already packed so we ended up standing on the train. When we got to the ESA, we got some food and went and found our seats. The opening act was Gordie Brown. I would recommend seeing him. He had the whole arena laughing! Then the big Celine Dion came out. She did some new songs and some of her old hits. The show was not complete until she did the Titanic Song!
I just want to say thank you to Tammy for letting me come. It was amazing!

Tyler
This handsome lil man needed to go into emergency surgery last night. His shunt had broke off and needed to be replaced... again... Surgery went well but please keep him in your prayers! Too many brain surgeries for him, but they are so grateful to have good neurosurgeons who take care of him! If you want to read more about what happened, you can check out Nancy's blog here! Tyler is such a special lil boy! I hope he has a fast recovery. I love you Bubba

Rollercoaster of Life
What a week of emotion! I am not going to get into details about it because everyone that needs to know already knows. But I have learned a lot! I have learned that I am not going to be a doormat to step on anymore and that is EXACTLY how I feel at the moment and I know that is not how it was meant to make me feel. I was put under a lot of stress and it caused me to have my bad migraines again and it took MANY days to get rid of it. I know that all the crying didn't help any! :) I just don't need anymore stressers in my life!
I am SOO glad that my lil buddy Maxwell is doing better! He was taken into surgery yesterday. That little stinker decided that money goes into his belly and he swallowed a quarter. The quarter got stuck in his throat and stopped his breathing. My brave sister-in-law ended up having to call the ambulance to come and he had to go to surgery to remove the quarter. This will be a trip to Connecticut that they will never forget! :) Dr. Barrett was still in Missouri because he was working, so his daddy was not able to be there. But there were a lot of prayers being said for Maxwell by his family! We love you Maxwell and we are so glad you are doing better and we are so glad that you have a fast acting Mommy that knew what to do! You surely are a daddy's boy! :)
Well, I better get back to work!

Ok, I'm a slacker!
I'm getting slack from the family.. I know I haven't wrote on the blog in 2 weeks.. Man, my life isn't THAT exciting I promise! I will post everyday if you want to know I went to work! :)
Last weekend was wonderful! I did get to spend time with Nancy and Tyler. Mom and Dad picked me up Friday morning (no I didn't go to work that day) and we headed to the airport to pick them up. We were pulling in when Nancy called asking where we were. I know, SHOCKER! Dad was late, or.. Nancy's plane landed early. Dad is NEVER late, we were thinking Dad would want to be there an hour early just so he wouldn't miss them coming in. But the pilot took a shortcut and got here early (yes, a shortcut in the air). When we got them from the baggage claim, Tyler was walking around pushing the stroller, such a big boy! We then went to breakfast and did some shopping before heading to visit Tammy before heading to EC. It was so fun to see Tyler get to experience snow for the first time. At first we weren't sure his thermometer worked. He loved to throw the snow and he would sign "ball" whenever he wanted to play in it. We headed down to EC and visited some of the teachers at Cottonwood Elementary so mom could get some schoolwork to check. Tyler loved playing with the alphabet magnets and the big ball from Lynda Nelson. That night, Tyler went to his first Emery High basketball game! He went right down on the floor and was able to see the game. He loved it! Not to mention the popcorn that grandpa gave him! :) By the end of the night, he was ready to go to bed!
Saturday we went and visited Grandpa and Grandma Ware. It's been a long time since I have seen them. Tammy and Josh brought the kids down and we all went swimming at the new swimming pool in Castle Dale. It was a lot of fun. There are a few things that were a downfall like no dressing rooms that were DRY.. But overall, it was a lot of fun. The kids loved it and Tyler sure is a water-baby! We had a lot of fun. I missed Max and Morgan!
Sunday we went to Sacrament at OV2 ward. Me and Nancy then headed up to SLC to get Dallas from the airport. Tyler was SO happy to see his dad! He helped Dallas pull his luggage, it was so cute!
I had so much with Tyler! I'm glad that his dr appointment went well!
This week, I've just been busy with work! It's been hectic up here in SLC, school is back in session so all the students are back so driving to work takes MUCH longer and leaving work.. Yeah.. :) it isn't much fun!

Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a good new year! It's now 2009 and time to have new goals and to have a fresh start.
I have made some new years resolutions but I don't know if I want to put them up on here yet because I just think.. "what if I fail at them?" ... :)
I do want to tell my friends and family how much they mean to me! You guys have always been there for me. I really needed you guys A LOT last year and of course, you were always there!
The other day I was thinking of what all has happened this past year. Dad had surgery on his knee twice and on his shoulder. Mom actually didn't have surgery this year but her asthma wasn't all this great. Tammy and Josh moved up here to SLC and they just live right around the corner from me so I am lucky enough to be able to see them a lot. Barrett graduated from KCOM and him and Chantel moved from Logan to Kansas City. Nancy and Dallas are still in AZ but lil TY went to Preschool and is progressing so much. I had gallbladder surgery and many other personal issues that I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for my family.
Well, I'm off to clean my room.. It's a MESS!!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
