Friday This 'n' Thats

How does time get away from me so easily? It's been forever since I wrote anything on here. Things have just been in upheaval, and then DST this year really threw me for a loop. I don't think I'm fully recovered from losing that hour yet! lol

I started a new PT job a couple of weeks ago. I'm liking it so far, but still have a lot to learn. I worked with the mgr. last night and we get along really well. We're close to the same age and have kids, so we have things in common to talk about. The only problem with this job is that my first "real" night of work was the first work day after DST! Not a good time to start a new routine! Between losing that hour and adding 2 new work shifts that week...YIKES. I was EXHAUSTED!

THEN...the worst part was, I wasn't scheduled to work there Sat., but I had to go to a Daisy/Prim (Missionettes) overnighter that Friday night. I got home about 2:30 on Sat. and just dropped onto the couch! Thankfully, everyone was out of the house when I got home. Nitro and Aravis were both at work and Muftak was elsewhere working on a project. It was nice to come home to quiet and have a chance to recharge before everyone else got home!

Besides adding all this extra "stuff" to my already busy schedule, we went on a rollercoaster ride over the upcoming wedding plans. It was emotional and frustrating and not something I want to air here, but everything worked out. Plans are back on track and all of the "stuff" causing the problems has been resolved.

Last weekend, Nitro and Shelby went to a marriage conference in Omaha. The married couples can get a hotel room and stay the whole weekend there, but unmarried couples are encouraged to come too...just not stay at the hotel together. (It's church sponsored.) Well, Shelby really wanted to go, so her parents said they would pay half if she and Nitro could come up with the other half. Nitro asked us if we could help out and we did.

I'm SOOOOO glad we did!

They both came back from the conference with alot more knowledge than they went with. Nitro isn't very good at sharing these types of experiences, so Shelby does. They've had a chance to talk about alot of different things and I am soooo thankful that we helped out with the registration so they could go! And I'm so proud of Nitro! He told Shelby that he wanted to step up and be the spiritual leader and head of the household. She said it was like, "AWESOME!" lol

I'm excited about all the things that are going to happen this year in our family! Sometimes it's very bittersweet and I get a little down that so much will be changing, but when I look at what it will be changing into, it's exciting!!!

I'm looking forward to all those new things!
