Some favorite flower photo's!

Here are some recent flower photo's. My daughter and I went on a field trip to Philadelphia to see the Liberty bell, and they had some really pretty tulips in bloom. We had a great time. Both of us get motion sick and so we tried the sea band wrist bands. And they worked! It was so nice not to have to have Dramamine!!
It was also nice to have a day out with my daughter.
My life has been very busy. I do have to admit I used my credit card once this past month. But once is so much better than many times. It was an emergency of sorts too. My husband was running out of cell phone points out in Utah and I


needed to buy him more and get them on his phone before we lost contact. I need help in picking out a good cell phone plan for us because I don't think the pay as you go plan will work well with it being his main source of communication.
My husband is having great success at his new job. Yesterday he fixed the "L" machine, which is very vital to the company. His bosses were so happy that he figured it out as they had paid people to come out in previous months that could not fix the machine. I'm so happy that he is doing so well so far. I've always wanted him to have a job where he feels successful and needed.

The remodel of the store where I work is almost over. I've been one of the main greeters during this time. I've walked about 6 miles each time I worked. And I've been working almost 40 hours a week. I've lost a bit of weight which makes me happy, "HELLO SUMMER OUTFITS!". I have realized that I've been living in a strange survival mode the past year. Right now I feel as if I'm slowly able to relax, and breath and do more than just survive. When you live with so much stress you make some poor choices or I made some poor choices. I stopped eating regular meals, and I've been living on a diet of Coca cola and salt and


vinegar chips. YUCK ! Right. well I've gone and bought some much better food for myself and I'm determined to get back into a good eating routine.
I've been so thankful for all the support of friends and family recently as my husband and I work towards finding where we belong. I'm thinking we are probably going to move, and so my goal on my days off is to clean up the house and get rid of as much stuff as possible. I feel very calm about all of this, and have no feeling of being over whelmed. Perhaps it's because of my most recent dream. Here it is. I dreamed I was blind folded and had to follow the instructions of this person. As I walked as they told me to I felt safe and when I got to where they wanted me, they took the blind fold off and turned me around. I looked at a sheer cliff. Everyone around me said I walked down it. I thought, that's impossible, but knew I must have. I think it means that what I've felt is impossible will happen and I'll get to the end and be safe. What do you think?
Well have a great day.
Blessings:) Every moment is a blessing, every second is change, and be thankful that you are alive. That's what my friends from India have taught me!

A study of Yellow.

I love to see all the yellow colored flowers out right now. Daffodils and Forsythia. Each has it's own shade of yellow, it makes me happy to see all the yellow flowers out. They make me think of sunshine. I have gotten 5 bags of stuff out of my attic in the last two days. I still have a long way to go before I feel it is done. But it is a start. I don't know where all of this change is taking my family, but I'm going to start getting ready. If we move things will be in order, and if we stay things will be in order. It is nice that our families have changed their opinions and are being supportive of our decision. Some of my husbands friends are still bothering him. I told my husband he should tell them to stop, because he has already given his word that he will go. Plus it is just wasting what little time he has left. He has a friend who daily calls with a new job lead. When my husband calls he finds that they really are not job leads. It just needs to stop. Well I hope you enjoy the yellow photo's as much as me.

GG = Greeter Girl too!

So G.G is supposed to be for Garden Girl, but lately at work I've been Greeter Girl. I now bring a pedometer with me to see just how much walking I do each day. I worked 5 hours yesterday and walked 6 miles. To say my legs are sore is an understatement. I enjoy being a greeter though. I just walk around saying hello to people, talking about the store's remodel and helping them find something or finding someone to help the customer. They all really appreciate it. Plus I think half of them think I'm a manager. I also get to chat with all the different employees and choose when I take my breaks. It's really quiet the fun job, except for all the walking.
Last night one of the cashiers that I'm friends with gave me one of their Credit card applications that they got. We always have a competition to see who will open the most. Isn't that bad. Here I am saying don't use credit cards, and yet at work part of my job is to ask customers to open them. My only thought is that if you use my stores credit card wisely you can save with all the discounts they give. But you have to use it wisely which is pay off the bill every month.

Well most of our family and friends know of my husbands soon to be journey. His mother has been very good about it and even believes that we will end up moving.


Others have not been as kind to my husband. They keep him on the swing of go, don't go. But you know it's really to late. He has made a commitment to this company to go. They let go their other employee. So he has to go. The one thing I know about my husband is he is a very loyal worker. If he gets out there and likes the job he will stay. He is just that way. He is looking for a job that pays every hour, one that gives him the weekends off, and one that is stable. I think he has found that. I just hope that he will find it to be challenging enough. Or that he will feel he is contributing. I'm thinking of getting a clock to put on his time. So that we feel a little more connected to him while he is gone. I think we also have a friend who is setting up Skype for us so that we can communicate and see each other. We both believe that if God wants us there he will get us there. Why am I blogging today, well because the thought of doing any type of movement makes my legs ache. Have a good weekend.
