Just Because

I'm sitting here thinking that I feel like that I have been neglecting my blog b/c I haven't really done a good post. We haven't had a lot of exciting things that have happened, but nonetheless it's time for a new post. This past week Matt did have a job interview and he felt that it went well. (YEA!) I hope he gets the job, b/c being the only one working is very stressful. I've been focusing on my new part time job and hope to make it a full time job and quit my job at Wells Fargo. It's time for change anyway. Scott has started a new semester at school and although we had a rocky start for the new year he has improved. He's a kid that needs structure.

As I listed in an earlier post one of my goals for this year was to be better at scripture study. Well to help me stay on top of it I've decided to start a blog in which I will be putting down my thoughts and inspirations.

That's all I have for now. I will post back when we know if Matt got the job.

9/11 Anniversary

Today is the 8th anniversary of those who lost their lives to a terriorist attact in New York. I remember that day as if it were yesterday.

I was getting ready for school that morning and listening to the radio. When one of the DJ's said that an airplane had crashed into a building. I totally thought he was joking when he said and then it wasn't brought up again until I was on my way to school. Then said that another airplane hit another building. I didn't fully comprehend what happened until I walked into the institute building. This is where I found a few of my friends and a couple of teachers staring at the tv as the 2 buildings were being shown on fire. What!? What is going on? My friend proceeded to tell me that the 2 airplanes were hijacked and were purposely crashed into the Trade Tower buildings.

Why would anyone want to do such a horrible thing? Terriorist who hate us and our country, that's who!

That day I went to my first class, which happened to be american history, and my teacher told us to go find a tv on campus and count that as class and to write down our feelings of this day. So I went back to the institute building and sat in a vigil around the tv w/ my friends and fellow students, until it was time for me to go to work.

I get to work and my supervisor was shocked b/c she thought that someone had called me to tell me not to come in. I said no. Well she said go home and come in sat to make up my time. So I did just that and sat in front of the tv yet again this time w/ my aunt and grandparents, who I was living with at that time.

It was a very sad day for everyone, and I hope that we can all remember them today and honor them, as they were innocent bystanders to a horrific act of violence.

Totally Weird

This morning on my way to work I stopped at the Circle K by my work to fill up my car. I was minding my own business, waiting for the pump to click. Once it did I was on my way back to the driver side when the guy parked on the other side of the pump said.

"Excuse me miss, but you have really cute toes."

"Um, thanks, I like them too."

"Sorry, I have a foot fetish."

"Oh, ok."

I didn't know what to think. Then the conversasion continues.

"I know this may seem odd but would you mind if I took a picture of your feet?"

"Um, no." Afterall what could it hurt, I will never see this guy again. So I thought that I would humor him.

So he gets out his phone and took a picture of my toes. Weird! I will admit that I was very flattered by the fact that he noticed. Good thing my nail polish hadn't worn down to much. haha. I got back into my car and started to laugh a bit b/c it was the funniest thing that I have ever encountered before.

I will say this the man was very nice and polite and was not weird looking or anything like that. He was your average Joe on his way to work too. haha

I've always thought my toes were cute too, it's nice to have some validation to my vainess.
