Still alive....

So i survived the first 24 hours of Colby being gone. Everything seemed to be fine. We sure did text the whole time he drove. I guess i never knew i could multitask as much as i did yesterday. I was able to complete my work and text to him to make sure he made it to Utah safe. HE DID. I was really excited to know that he missed me and home but i also don't want him to feel like that. This is a great opportunity for him to be down there and i know he will make the best of it. But i will be going down in 14 days to see him and let me tell you the count down is on!!!

And hes off..........

Well today was the day that Colby packed up his things and started the long journey to Salt Lake to go to school. He is attending the LDS Business college to achieve his associates degree and then in which he will return to Lethbridge to finish two years in Criminal Justice, upon graduation he will then set foot in to the work force in either Regional Police or Boarder Patrol. He has got the drive to make the big bucks but yes he has some sacrificing to do right now in order to achieve that. I had to say my goodbyes to him yesterday as he came up to Lethbridge and we finished some shopping and purchased him a computer. I felt as if i was back in school and i was busy scrambling through out the school looking for whatever was on that list. By the end of the night i was fighting those tears back, every now and then he would catch one run down my face and he would say Babe, everything is going to be alright. This is a happy time not a sad, i will see you in two weeks. If i had a nickel for every time i heard that yesterday i would be rich. To tell you the truth i don't think two weeks will pass soon enough. So here i am at work trying to not think about it, but i got thinking this is alittle better circumstances then what i went through on his mission. At least i can call him and go and see him. That is what will get me through this trial. Cause i do believe channings undying faith is being tested.

The Boy.

I am sure that my family is so interested on how me and my newly returned missionary are. We are amazing i have never in my life ever thought that i would be able to make it through two years, but i did it and i did it with no problems. Okay yes i did break my leg and shatter my knee but other than that I enjoyed the two years with out pressure of young single adults. But i also love that he is home and that we are able to enjoy each other company. I was thinking back on dating him for two years before he left on a mission and then waiting two years so altogether fours years. I didn't know what i would say to someone if they asked me to tell them the truth about waiting but now, i would tell everyone if you honestly commit your self to your missionary and promise to be there when they have a bad week, and if you exercise your knowledge for the church and have mass amounts of faith. it will be the most rewarding experience in your life. I wouldn't of changed a thing for the world. He completed a successful and rewarding mission and i couldn't be any more happier him. I am just excited for what happens next.

WOW

Well lets just say alot has happened over the last couple weeks in my life. I guess i never understood why young adults could never decide if they wanted to go to school or if they wanted to move away and travel. I always knew that i wanted to be a business women and make changes in society. Lets just say it got boring, I have been living my dream for the last couple years and i am now stuck in a rut. I don't know what i want. My childhood dream was to become a Dental Assistant and i did my high school work experience shadowing a dentist, and i really enjoyed it. I am not exactly sure why i chose hospitality and operations, but i have enjoyed it, but i am realizing that i am now wanting and craving a new challenge All i know is i want a job that is exciting and challenges me. I have this undying love for a job with thrill and a thirst for learning. I often find my self redoing a job i have already done because i need more to do. I guess i could close this by saying I have a lot of searching and pondering to do. I know where i want to end up in life but my path choices are endless. I know i will always stay on the straight and narrow but depending on what direction.

Who got me started on this?

Well all I can say is that Leslie Jacobs my sister got me started on this blogging thing. Why i decided to go ahead and start one of my own? was to be able to share my hilarious situations that i have with my family far away from me. I also hate that i live a million miles away from my nieces and nephews. I have a lot and each of them mean a lot to me. I also come from a collided, huge, disoriented, crazy Canadian family. In which we all live in different states, and countries. My favorite time is when we all get together back home in mountain view, it seems as though we all have so much fun, and of course i also get hurt. Well stay tuned as i will definitely be able to post my stories as real as they come.
