Been a while... As usual?

So by now, I'm sure you all know I'm not the greatest blogger, but if you know me well enough, you probably know what's been going on in my life...

However, to avoid getting more crap from Daniel the next time I see him, I think it's time for an update--Again, on Friday at 4:30.

Things with me have been going relatively well. I've been pretty stressed about school, and overall, I did a horrible job at summer semester, I already know I have to retake at least two classes... and I still have 3 grades left to get. I'm not exactly excited about that one, but hopefully the second time around it's easeir? Maybe?

Dave lost his job yesterday, and I'm surprisingly not worried about it. Of course there are times when I do, but for the most part, I know that Heavenly Father is watching over us and that we'll make it through just fine. No worries. Someone a lot more important than anyone down here is watching out for us and making sure we'll be fine. Plus, we have a great network of friends and family that would be more than willing to help us out if we ever needed it. Thankfully, we haven't had to use those resources yet, and hopefully we won't.

Work's is still the same. I'm still frustrated by it, but I'm taking actions now that make it so I'm not just whinig about it and hoping things will change. I've taken it to the vice president of the company. I told him I didn't think it was fair to me, the other people who don't go out to drink, our customers, or the company that people go out at 4:30 to have a beer, and I explained to him my reasoning behind it all. Hopefully something comes of that.

I've been here for a year next saturday... They're having a party to commemorate it... (Just kidding. But the company party is actually on my one year date.)

Tonight Nathan Dave and I are going camping. Looking back, I wish this is the kind of thing I'd been able to do in high school. Spend nights out with my friends rather than staying home all the time, granted, I do love staying in with Dave and just lounging around the house, cleaning or whatever we can do together, but I love spending time with friends too. It's great that we get to spend this time with Nathan before he goes on his mission too. I especially like it because Nathan is a HUGE part of Dave's life, and I'm finally getting a chance to get to know him better, which is great. Nathan's one of the people who will be there no matter what. Those are the best kind of friends. It's unfortunate that I don't have more of them... Even more unfortunate that I've lost some of the ones I used to have....

Well, since there's a "scheduled outage" soon, I guess I better close this and get ready to head home.

I might be back next week... who knows?
