Family Strikes Back

A child deserves to be taken care of and loved. It is the child's right. After all, aren't we the ones that brought them into this cruel world?! How could we deprive a child of this, or see it happen and not do anything about it? Simple answer. Love your children.

Nothing flashy

Work is going well. Lets just say that there are a lot of liberal people at ARUP. There are many diverse people in this world. In my department 50% are atheist, 30% are gay. That may not be SO diverse but coming from a work place where 100% were LDS, then yes, I would say it is a change. From talking to them, it has made me think about what I think. There is much to learn! It's a little overwhelming! I am just beginning to learn about the world I live in and my place in it.

I got the job!!!

So I finally ended up getting the job at ARUP Laboratories. I'm really excited! I start on Mon. They are having a big orientation for all the new employees! It's been about a week now that I've know and time seems to have dragged on..It's a weird feeling knowing that you have a job but not being to work yet. I will have to wear business casual..haha I've been shopping too much lately getting things that would work so I look professional.:) It's been fun, I haven't gone shopping in a while.

ARUP "blurp!!"

Ok, so I applied last week at ARUP Laboratories. They've been pretty on the ball. About an hour after I applied online they called me and set up a sceening the next day. I was super nervous! Well, the next day rolled around and I was prepared! "JD" was going to call me at 2:30. He called and it went fairly well, haha I sounded dumb a couple times..oh well what can ya do? Anyway, I guess it went well enough because he set up an interview for the following day! That went VERY well I thought. Heavenly father helped me tons...So a couple hours after my interview, "JD" called me and said, "Both departments you applied for are interested in hiring you. All we need to do now is check your references." I was so happy happy happy! There was a little problem. My first reference wasn't answering her phone...I was so nervous! The next day was the beginning on the July 4th weekend. I decided to give them a break and call today. Well I didn't call them...tomorrow I hope I get this straightened out! I'm afraid that I'll get a "sorry you didnt get the job" postcard:( soon.

Cool and Refreshing!

Mmm...these little suckers are delicious for a snack! I could eat them all day long..Other snacks don't give you the kind of satisfaction and pleasure that mint chips can give you! Once they come in contact with your tongue, they slowly melt creating a rush of bam's and boom's throughout your mouth! You could put them in brownies, cookies, cake or just straight plain! In fact I'm eating them right now! Yum...yum...yum.:D

Creative Disaster

I'm always impressed with people that have figured out what they love. I, on the other hand have a hard time... I DON'T know what I LOVE to do? That should be a sin. There are tons of little things that I enjoy, but there isn't one particular thing that I couldn't live without.

Undone

Yesterday I was with my family that I havent seen in 10 years..It was amazing to get a taste of a different flavor. They are like a poly family! Everyone shares everything! It was just fun to be in an atmosphere of acceptance and to see how everyone teased everyone! All of my uncles are so funny! My cousins were climbing all over me, haha. Just a fun playful family. I was thinking that I missed out on having this for 10 stinkin years. WHY? It isn't fair...I feel like my whole life I've had to catch up because I'm always behind on something..Right now it's with the Seaichs'. I have to build relationships from scratch when they should already be at the sweetest stage. Family.

Of course I've had two amazing families growing up. The Barlows' for graciously adopting me, loving me, and giving me the best Friends i could ask for. The Nelsons' for teaching me, and showing their love for me in the highest degree possible. They saw that I was in a bad situation and that it would hurt me in the long run, so they did something about it. It wasn't a walk in the park though, everyone has their struggles..

I have conflicting emotions...!! I love the Seaichs' and am glad that I can have them back, but I'm also confused as to why they let what happened, happen..? It feels like they ignored the problem because they didn't care! How can they now suddenly care about me? Maybe they would have done sonething if our dads werent their to take us? I guess I'm not being fair to them because I don't know everything.

Get out there and dance!

"My self esteem doesn't depend on other peoples' opinion."The truth is, caring what other people think is exhausting and takes my happiness away. If I'm too worried about others, how can I have a good time just being me? Fact: I can't. Sure, I'm weird, isn't everyone? Variety is the spice of life! No one likes to not be liked. Memo to self- I can't make everyone like me. It's impossible. No matter what I do, there will always be people that like me and don't like me. Being me will attract the people that I want to be around anyway!
