Another Road Bump

I finished my teaching degree in February 2009. Well the CCSD had a hiring freeze so I just was a long term sub for the rest of the school year. Well in May they open the hiring freeze so I put my application in. I had my interview a week later. Well I have been waiting this whole summer for the letter or the call saying your hired. Well it never came. I decided to send out some resumes to schools trying to get a long term sub position until I got officially hired on by the school district. Well I forgot to put my phone number on my resume. I was wondering why I wasn't getting any calls. Well I faxed my resume out again this time with my phone number on it. Well I got an interview from a school. It seemed like they liked me. They wanted me to start on Sept 11 then they would hire me as a licensed teacher when I got approved. Well tonight I got a letter from ccsd saying that they had to turn me down from being a licensed teacher. I was soo devastated. I was wondering what I did so wrong in life to get all of these trials. I was sitting down sulking in my issues when I remember when I tried to get a temple recommend when I was 21. I got the recommend from the Bishop. When I went to the Stake President he told me that I needed to wait for when I got married. I was sooo upset. I told him that I will just go and see if my family ward Stake President would sign it. He got really upset at me saying President Weed wont give it to you because he doesn't know you. Well he was very surprised that he has known me since I was a little girl. Well after a couple of weeks of both Stake Presidents praying they decided I was ready. I was sooo excited to finally be able to go through the temple. So I decided to pray for the lords help in which ever way the Lord wants me to go.

Wyoming

Well we went on a family trip to Wyoming. It started off rough. My dad's generator spilled some of its gasoline in the container which we smelled for 12 hours. When we made it to Wyoming our camp ground was in a commercial area. So we decided to stay in a hotel. Well all the hotels we went to they had no vacancy. Well we found a KOA. Well it was 12:30am and we started setting up camp. Well we had a new tent and I was trying to set it up when my dad hurt his back. So we pack everything back up in the van to try to find a hotel. Well we went to a Motel 8. We were checking in when they told us that the power is going to be off in 30 minutes until 6 in the morning. So we ended up not staying there. We went to this other hotel and they said there is a hotel up the street that has some rooms vacant. We were soooo excited. The hotel was called C'mon Inn. It was ssooooo nice. We decided to stay for a couple of nights. It had two pools and seven spas. We had soo much fun swimming in all of the pools and spas. The next morning we tied the generator on the roof of the van so we didn't have to breathe the gasoline anymore. Then we went to Martin Cove. It was really neat to be able to pull the handcart and go see where the Martins Handcart stay during the storm. I really enjoyed the trip. You could defently feel the spirit there. I was so glad I decided to go on this vacation. Oh I loved the way we camped at a hotel and cooked our dinner in a park. I can't wait for our next adventure.

Michigan

So I went to Michigan with my friend Sarah Oelke. We stayed with her family. It was sooo fun. I loved the weather there. It rained a lot but rain makes me happy. I got to see a lot of cool things while I was there. We went to Mackinac Island. There are no vehicles allowed on the island. We went on a carriage ride around the Island. They have the best fudge there. I forgot my fudge at Momma Oelkes house. It was sooo cool there. I had such a blast. I could live there in a minute. I did hate the bugs. They liked eatting me. I can't wait to go back and see more of Michigan. They had a lumber party were they show you how they used to cut the lumber. Well Sarah and I wanted to give it a try. It was harder then it looks, but we had fun.

No Sleep till Michigan

I have been having trouble sleeping. I really hate this. I wish I was still sleeping. This is my summer break. I can't wait till I get to go to Michigan. I leave a week from Monday. YEA. I can't wait till I get to go exploring. Momma Oelke here I come.

Lazy Sunday

I have been so lazy today. I have just been going thru all of my pictures and I found the pictures my sister took of me. I love how she makes me look good. She is an excellent photographer. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Match Maker

I decided after hooking 13 couples up, and all of them got married I decided I was finished. Well today I had a feeling that I needed to set up one more couple. So I called my guy friend and told him that I had someone I wanted to set him up with. Well he was so excited. Then I decided to call Heidi and see if I could set her up. Well she said yes and is very excited. Now I have to find a date for myself since they want me to double with them. Yea so the hardest part is trying to find a date for myself. I wish I could set myself up on a date like I did for my other 13 happily married couples. So now the hunt is on to find someone to go with me. Wish me luck.
