Family Changes and Updates

Amy is moving to Tennessee just like Becky. She is tired and has been working at the same job for 9 years as a Supervisor in a Hotel Reservation call center. She is fed up with it and is going to follow Becky in October. So the only people left in Orlando is me my parents and Paul.....but I have the feeling that he might just randomly find something and leave also, I dont know. Also apparently there was a miscommunication and no Paul is not married, never been close to getting married ....so yeah.....thats it for now!

Jasem's Birthday!

So just Saturday was my friend Jasem's birthday when he turned 19! Woohoo yay for Jasem! So in the morning we went to Titusville the National Seashore beach next the NASA and had tons of fun. I forgot to put sunscreen on my back so that is the only place I got burned. But burn it did! But its calming down, instead of screaming at me it is now just wimpering lol. When we first get into the ocean Kira's boyfriend calls out to us informing us of the baby shark he has just seen next to him. At that we all jump out of the water screaming and running away. After 5 minutes of calming down and being reassured that it wasnt even big enough to nibble on a finger we go back in. So we go in and later I found a jelly fish inches away from me,Ahh so another time we all jump out and freak out but we went back in. The tide was really strong which made the waves Amazing! We all were being beaten down by the waves but it was tons of fun so we just ignored bruises.Then we come back and everyone helps me prepare a nice Greek dinner for Jasem while he is at an hour meeting at his work at the nearby Radisson hotel. We made Tabouleh, Mediteranean Salad, Hummus, Chicken Kabobs, Greek Salad, Pesto, and 2 kinds of Cous Cous. Never again I am ever going to make that many plates for a dinner! But it was good and everything was delisious if I do say so myself! So we all then get together and have him sit down while me and Ingrid and Evee present to him his big musical skit of Jasems life, "The Color Jasem : The Musical". After that he opened his presents and one of which was ImagineIff... the game he had told us about a couple days earlier that he really like, It was lots of fun. and then we played dress up!

New Calling!

So in october of 2007 I moved in with my sister Amy and transfered my records over to the Singles Ward. Once I started going to the Singles Ward I thought that it was cool but weird since I didnt know anyone. Well weeks pass and I just always felt so out of place, so I decided to go back to the beautiful University Park Ward where I had previously had the calling of Music Director (choosing and conducting the hymns in sacrament). Once i got back into my home ward again I felt at peace but something was missing. I didnt have a calling, so I waited for the Lord to direct the Bishopric to the right calling for me. And I wait.......and I wait.......and wait......It took 7 months for me to get a calling. 7 loooong months of just attending church and listening. Finally what I had been waiting for, Brother Aplanalp looked at me and pulled me to the side, in my mind Im thinking "FINALLY!!!" but I wasnt nervous because I knew that whatever it was, the Lord would help me fullfill it. So he asked me if I was willing to take up my old calling as Music Director and this time also Music Chairman!!!! I was grinning from ear to ear I was so thrilled! Before when originally called as Music Director my mother was given Music Chairman which was fine because I was still in Highschool at that point not so confident in how I would be. Music Chairman is in charge of basically all music training and events in the ward, providing special musical numbers every month, scheduling chior dates every month, and approving song choices before it is sent off to the Bishopric for approval. I am so thankful for the opportunity Heavenly Father is giving me now. The opportunity to help the ward grow in their own individual musical talents and grow spiritually in sacrament meeting. I also know that with his help I can do this and I can do it well, because I have a knowledge of the power of music and its incredible form is a gift from God that needs to be cherished and exercised. It can bring in the spirit faster and more precise than any other forms of communication. So watch out University Park because Im going to find your talent and help you bring the spirit into the ward and your own heart.

Yay!!

"Godly Goodies"

So lately me and my friends are thinking more about our future and how much we are losers with no clue what to do. A Fashion Designer, Doctor, and the rest of my friends have already commited themselves to Musical Theater and plan on making that a career. Well lately they have all tried to think of "back-up" careers for reality sake. I have been a floater and thought that i could just go through my AA with ease taking the basics and I will just find out, by some miracle God would smack me with my Major.....now that seems less likely and a little too simple. So one option my friend Evee has brought to my attention for raising money (since I am unemployed) is to make goodies and sell them online. She says that poeple start off that way and eventually become really big businesses. And apparently Im a wonderful Mormon baker who makes the best chocolate chip cookies they have deemed "Mormon Cookies", and my moms home made bread deemed "Mormon Bread". The thought is that I make some classic baked goods with cool names, and hopefully have not been stolen from the food channel, and sell them. Start small and grow, the title of this production is "Godly Goodies : a mouthful of heaven". Yay Im excited!!

My Life As I Know It

So as you can see I havent posted in .... Forever, well alot and nothing has benn going on. Well this will be an Intro to get you all in check with my life so far so that future posts will be up to date! So where to start, I am going to Valencia Community College and liking it alot. I just finished my first year and am soo glad that I passed Algebra with a B!! I've been taking my required courses for my AA and think I might have found my major. I want to Major in Psychology and take Music classes on the side (since there is no Music Minor *sadness*). The plan is to finish my AA at Valencia while i figure out my Major and then go to a state college to finish it off. Well the thought was to go to FSU which would be awesome! But lately that has seemed to slip out of my reality so the next best thing is UCF which is closer and has a good relationship with Valencia and an expanding Psychology department. I know that things will go the way that they are supposed to so Im letting God take the wheel on my educational future because I have no idea what Im doing or where Im going. My sister Becky moved to Nashville Tennessee for a Psychology Research/Human Resources/Foster Care job? She loves it and is finally finding a place she can explore and spread her wings. Paul is living with Amy in her apartment over in Winter Park so that leaves me home alone with my parents and 2 extra bedrooms empty. I am the youngest of 5 kids so me being all alone makes me understand how being an only child is like. I dont think I can live alone lol its just too boring by myself I might go crazy! The good thing is that my best friend Kira might be moving into Becky's old room within the next month. That would be so wonderful! And tons of fun living with a friend. I have been having a hard time trying to find a job since February. The temp agency had found a job as a mailroom clerk at Ocwen Mortgage Bank and that was good and paid very nice. However I didnt have the experience they asked for so I was let go after 2 weeks. I was very disappointed and hurt because that was the first time I was fired from a job but the good thing is that now I am less picky in taking a job. Im deperate and I think I just needed to have a slap in the face to realize that I really just need any job I can get lol. I also have been given a calling in University Park Ward finally. After going to the Singles ward and then back home I havent been given a calling, it took them 7 months but now i know that it was totally worth it! But I havent been called so Ill tell you all later. hehehe! And I know what your probably wondering about, No, no guy in sight yet thankfully I can focus on school and life (*psst* tell me if you see anyone for me!). So Ill leave off there with this "Hi everyone!".
