I Got A J.O.B.

After only a week of being on the job hunt I got one!! I work at the Smart Styles inside the Lindon Walmart. I was scared to work in a salon, but it really is quite fun. I just have to say how luck I am!! Job hunting really is intimidating to me, and I wasn't doing very good. I didn't even apply at Smart Styles, luckily through my roommate they got my number and called me! My brother Weston says I'm one lucky girl!! I had an interview on Monday, and filled out an application, then tuesday I had a technical interview (meaning I had to do a hair cut on a model, which was my sister) and then I started working 20 minutes after that. I have loved every minute of it, and I love the people I work with. We all get a long great!! I'm happy to say that I don't hate men's hair cuts any more and I'm getting fast, and confident in my abilities.... I'm still a little skiddish about womens, but I'm sure in no time I'll be confident in those too. I feel so blessed that I was able to find a job so quickly!!

p.s. mom,

Jill (Kacey's mom) works at the Lindon walmart, and she was getting her hair done today when I went in today, and she talked to me for a long time and she said to tell you hi. She gave me her address and number and told me never to go hungry that she would feed me. She is super nice!

Festival of Colors

Tonight I went to the very exciting Festival of Colors. It is a fund raiser for a church in Spanish fork (Krishnas). There is loads of people and you buy powdered paint and every two hours they have a big count down and then you all throw your paint. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. It starts out clear..then you starting seeing bursts of color then its like a fog of color and you can't even see the person standing in front of you! I went with my sister (Brynn) and our best friend (Michell Tidwell) We had a blast. I mean who wouldn't get to throw paint at each other!! Definitely recommend it, you have to at least experience it once.

Moving

Well I'm all the way moved in. My mom and I have worked our little hearts out these past two days trying to get everything done and set up before she leaves on Sunday. I'm glad we are almost done because this whole unpacking thing is getting really old.

Well I saved this post and its now four days old, but anyways...

Life is going pretty well. I'm finally starting to adjust to being on my own. I caught a cold Sunday, and I'm feeling a lot better today. Luckily my grandma was stalked up on medicine so that I didn't have to go and buy any. I did a little grocery shopping... and I ran into a girl that I started hair school with (small world!) Its definitely weird going grocery shopping for just me. I have went to the store for my mom before, but its weird now to think that I'm on my own.

I have four roomates. Mica, Kylie, Kirsten, and Rachel. I know Mica and Kylie the best, they talk to me the most. I'm slowly adjusting to life on my own, and to sharing a house with 4 other girls. Its weird not having a mom here too, but all in all I'm enjoying it.

I went to the college ward on Sunday. I really think that I'm going to enjoy it. I turned in a paper so that they could get my records, and they took it and said we will try to get you a calling as soon as possible. (which makes me super nervous.... I've never had a calling other than nursery, and special needs mutual) but I guess I have to start somewhere!

I will try and post pictures soon, but right now I'm too lazy to down load them onto my computer. :/

Beautiful Day

Today was a great day! I have spent the weekend babysitting Jared Call he has down syndrome and he is 19. I went to high school with him and his parents wanted to get away for a weekend. He is so fun to be around and makes everyone smile and laugh. We went to Albertson's first thing this morning, then we came home and got ready for a picnic. My mom sure knows how to plan one. We had amazing food, and I ate so much that I was stuffed and about to explode. Then we played catch with the football, and played on the play ground and just had a good ol' time. Weston, Rian, Tristan, Karris, Nyah, Anastyn, Mom, Jared, Me, and my friend Jacob were all there to enjoy the day. It was a beautiful day, had fun, and enjoyed the company of everyone.

On a side note just a few reasons why I love Jared.

1. He is a great dancer, loves to turn the music up and dance away.

2. His smile is so contagious.

3. He does cute things for example we were in the car and I had a little piece of hair stuck on my lip, and he gently got it off of my lip for me. It was cute :)

Special Needs Mutual

I have done special needs mutual for the last two years and I have absolutely loved it. If you don't know what it is, it is where anyone with disabilities from 12 to 112 can come once a week and do an activity together. They meet every Thursday night and we are together for an hour and a half. I can't even begin to explain how much this has impacted my life. I have learned so much from them and I'm truly going to miss all my special friends that I've made there.

Just a few things that I've learned...

1. They never judge. They except you for who you are no matter what. They look on the inward appearance and not the outside.

2. They have unconditional love. They are so loving and give you hugs and sometimes even kisses every time they see you.

3. They love to have fun. No matter what the activity is they love it. They always have a blast.

4. Genuinely care about you. They are always asking how you're doing, how are you feeling, and it makes you feel great!

5. They love friends. They love making friends, keeping friends, and spending time with friends!

I'm truly grateful for the opportunity that I have had to become friends with all these wonderful people, and for the amazing examples they are to me. I have learned so much from them and will always remember the Thursday nights I spent dancing, cheering, singing, learning, and growing. They really are special!

I'm also thankful for the advisors, and other counselors. My advisors Monica, Shakari, and Joyce. They were great and people that I look up too. Also Jerry and Janice Law. They took me under their wing and I love them.

These were great times that I will always remember.

Blessings

Well today I had to go to court, and I was really nervous and freaking out just a little.... well a lot. I said a prayer before I left, and low and behold the prosecuting attorney happened to be a guy in my ward. I felt better one because I knew him and two we pretty much got everything figured out before and I went and saw the judge. This made my whole day great! I was in the best mood and I'm glad its over with and I hope that I never have to go back to court again! Its so scary!!

Buzzard and Loudness

My mom and I were talking, and she asked why the button box was out. I told her because I took Jacob a buzzard. (What in the world!) I was on facebook and I saw the last name bullard, but at just a glance it looks like buzzard so thats what I said. Then my mom's response was loudness! Loudness to her means (I love you too) she was trying to text that and it came out loudness. AHH... I take after my mother sometimes. :D

My nieces

After a long week of not seeing my nieces, they are finally home. It's crazy how much I miss them! Nyah told me all about the zoo and the elephants. Then she gave me a couple big kisses and then she told me I need to tell you a secret then she whispered I love you. It was tender and precious! I love my nieces! They are the cutest. Its going to be hard to move away from them!

When it comes, it comes in threes.

Today has been a long day for me. I don't know why,but when it comes to bad things they usually come in threes for me. I've been getting sick, and when I woke up I felt like a train wreck. Then I got call saying there was a warrant for my arrest because I forgot to show up for court today. (it was for a ticket nothing big, and I forgot because I set the date 7 months ago!) Now I have to go to court next Thursday. It scared me a little and I started to cry because thats just what I do. Then I was carrying a box of stuff and fell and skinned my knee and elbow. I like to think that I'm a pretty strong person because when ever I'm tried it comes in threes. Thank goodness that it was a beautiful day today, and the sun was shinning, and my mom was there to comfort me and give me a hug! :)

My computer

Me and Jacob

My beautiful mom! :D haha gets me every time!

This is the day I have been waiting for, for a really really long time! I have always wanted a Mac computer, and I finally saved enough money to get one! I spent all day yesterday and half of the day today trying to figure out how to connect it to the wifi...I finally got that accomplished! I have spent quite a bit of time taking pictures on the photo booth. I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!
