oajrjgoe;tjgua;jgeaorerae;ona;ov[ew (cuz I can)

heads up:
This post is gonna be ALL over the place because
I can't seem to get my thoughts in order....

I guess I'll start with the great news: 
I GOT A JOB!
It was kinda surprising actually, because I applied like a month ago to the place and they randomly called me up for an interview. So I went in on Saturday and.....
they hired me! It's at El Padrino Mexican Restaurant 
and I start on Tuesday. It's crazy.

So before the job I was just babysitting which was fantastic (I still am
which I'm really glad about - I love it. El Padrino is part time, anyway) but at 
times it was hard for me to be productive with my time, so after talking to my Mom about it I decided that I would pick up cooking and baking!
I made dinner on Thursday night.....

meatballs mmmm:)

pasta and tomato sauce 

it was pretty good:)

Speaking of baking..... 
my friend Stacey and I made gluten free pizza the other night
(because she is GF)
and it was SO good! I absolutely loved it and I had a blast 
making it with her:) 

all of the many different GF flours haha

<3 Stace
This weekend my friend Allison, my dad and I went to see Stacey's play
"Almost Maine" 
(she was great!). It was a pretty funny play!
 

im mad that the lighting is terrible. you cant see squat.

this is stacey's kissing scene, ooooh la la ;)
 
 Anyway, it's been a fun weekend! And Emily, if you're reading this:
I MISS YOU! 

Oh yeah, and this might just be the funniest card I've ever read, 
well one of the funniest!

the inside says, hang in there baby. haha:)

Blessings

Since my last post I've.....

been able to score a TON of babysitting jobs and a few 
of them have said that they want to make it a weekly thing! It's been such a blessing
and I'm so grateful to my cousin Jen, who I 
babysit for regularly, for spreading 
the word about me throughout her ward! I'm so grateful for 
Heavenly Father who allows for 
blessings in my life to occur. I know that He will always be there for me and 
that He cares! 

The really nice thing about babysitting is that 
you have really nice hours,
you get to be with kids all day, 
like sweet, funny, awesome kids,
and it's a tax free income!
I'm trying to save as much money as I can before college. So 
I'm really grateful for everyone who 
has asked me to babysit for them and for telling their friends! 
It's been a real blessing!

On a different note, 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY STINKIN AWESOME DADDIO! 
I love him to bits! He is such a wonderful person
and an even better father. I don't know
where I would be without him. 
He is the best daddy in the whole entire world
and I feel especially blessed to 
be able to call him family!
He is such a great example to me in everything.
He has such a strong testimony. 
He treats our family my mom and us girls with such respect.
He is a great protector, guide, and comforter. 
He makes me laugh and smile everyday!
I couldn't have asked for a better dad! 
I love you Pop!
Thanks for who you are! Can't believe you're only 30! HAHA!
