Christmas...

I would like to take a minute and express my gratitude this Christmas season. I would like to start with my family. My family is the most wonderful gift I could have ever been given. I am so blessed to have parents that care so much for me. My Mom and Dad are always so willing to help. They are great examples to me. Always giving to others. Always there for me when I need them. I could not have asked for more loving, caring parents.
Kara and her amazing family, they are always so sweet. Those two girls make my life so much better. They make me smile just with one look!:) That family is truely amazing. I am so glad that I have an older sister that has been such a great friend as well.
Brittney is a goofball. She can always make me laugh and always seems to know exactly what to say to make my day better. She has had a hard couple of years yet she is still here and going strong. If she can make it through her hard times, I can too!
Rebekka is a stubborn girl! But as she has grown up I have come to love her no crap attitude. She is strong and does not care what people think. She sticks to her guns, even if she is completely wrong.;) She has set goals for herself and is within an arms reach of getting there. I am very proud of my littlest sister.
Brandon, where to begin with Brandon?:) He is a sweetheart through and through. He is just like me when i was his age, not sure if that is good or bad? He is always excited to learn and to share what he has learned. He is a great kid and growing up so fast. He always makes my day better with a good razzing.
Brandie is the greatest friend I could have ever asked for!!! She is sweet and caring. She loves me for who I am. I cant express my love and appreciation for her.
I am so grateful for the amazing people in my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to have a job, to have a great family. I am grateful to have a Savior that came to this earth with one mission, to save us and to allow us to have an opportunity to be forgiven for our sins. Jesus is my Savior and for that I am eternally grateful.

Chicken noodle soup...

As I sit at work, eating homemade chicken noodle soup. I wonder why on Earth I would come back to this hell hole of a job. When I was younger I never expected to grow up to be a cashier. I never knew what I wanted to be. My mind was always changing. One day I wanted to be a teacher, the next a vet, and the list continues. As an adult my list does not seem so limitless. The job I have now is essentially the same one I have had since high school. I am in a comfort zone and the thought of leaving it for bigger and better things, well, it scares the crap out of me. What if its not a better job? What if the people I work with are just rude? The what ifs in life become overwhelming and in the end scare me into submission. I want to know at what point I became such a chicken? Never taking that leap of faith that may be what makes me happy.
