Currently listening to:
Hello everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful July full of great adventures!! I had a pretty good July. The 4th was fun I got to see family and spend some time with them. My birthday was great! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!! I spent my birthday with friends. A friend of mine's dad has the same birthday as I do so we usually get together for dinner at their house. There is someone I've met. We've been talking quite a bit and got dinner the other day. I think we might watch a movie tonight and we may go dancing tomorrow.
There was a time last week when I was feeling sad about not being in Albuquerque anymore and feeling like I didn't have any friends here in Las Cruces. A few days after that I met Jake he's that someone I was telling you about. I also found out that a friend that I haven't seen in a very long time...maybe almost a year but i've been talking to over Facebook IM feels the same way about the friendship as I do. I was starting to feel like she was my best friend. I feel comfortable talking to her about anything and her with me. It's been so long since I've had an actual best friend that I can talk to about anything. This makes me so happy! Things here in Las Cruces seem to be looking up. I still mis Albuquerque but this is my home now and I'm going to try and make the best of it. This new best friend of mine is out of town at the moment. she's been traveling all summer. she was even in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island in New York. She placed 3rd. You might have seen her in the newspaper. That's my friend!! I'm so proud of her! She's supposed to be back next week and I can't wait to see her!! It's going to be great to be able to talk to her in person in stead of on a screen!!
Even though we live in the same city I haven't seen or talked to my friend Katie in a while. I should be seeing her tomorrow when Jake and I go dancing, I'm really excited for the semester to start because that means Sagebrush video campus will be here and I will be able to actually go to church on Sundays. I've been watching the services on my iTunes. I'm a weekend behind everyone else but I'm still diving into God's word and learning new things.
Work is going okay. I still work at Victoria's Secret. I also work at my previous employer's Cottonbloom Assisted Living and Memory Care Unit. I love it at Cottonbloom. I came back in the hopes of being a caregiver again. they did promise that position to me. When I got here in Las Cruces I stopped by and they said they didn't have any caregiver positions because they just hired a bunch of people. They did add that they had an opening in the kitchen as a cook. ugh that's now what I wanted but it pays the bills. I still don't like it although I am working with the people I love the most. I don't like it. I feel like I don't get to know the residents like the caregivers do. All I know about them is what their likes and dislikes of foods and drinks are. I want to know about their life and family. I'm trying to hold out until there's an opening as a caregiver but it's really hard to do that. We lost some residents and so now that the facility isn't full they are starting to cut caregiver hours and even laying some off. i know it'll pick up and i'll be able to transfer it always does it's the whole waiting thing that's killing me. it's so much harder to wait when your don't something you don't like.
At the beginning of August I'll be going to Florida to visit some friends and I"m so excited. I haven't seen them in so ling and i've never been to Florida. it should be a fun adventure. I'm still helping with the Mosaic art piece in the downtown area of Las Cruces. we're almost half way done. the goal was to finish by the end of summer but we got quite a bit done!! Plus the summer isn't over yet!! I'll post pictures soon!!
Prayer Requests:
*Please pray that I would trust in God that he will provide me with all that I need. It's so hard to do something you don't like and watch others do what you love.
*Please pray that mine and Jakes friendship will continue to grow
*Please pray for me and my newly found best friend. Please pray that we would continue to be there for each other and that our friendship will continue to grow into something amazing!
*Please pray for my friend Katie. I haven't talked to her in a while but she did once before mention to me that when Sagebrush video campus started down here she wanted me to let her know because she wants to go. this makes me really happy. I just hope she still feels that way and wants the same thing.
Thats all for this post! I hope y'all have a great weekend! I love you all lots! until next time God bless!!
