Rolling with the Punches

So for the past couple of weeks I have spent over 10 hours just getting and filling out applications. That doesn't include the bringing them back in and the interviews I have been in. Still no luck! I do however now have a once a week babysitting job but I'm pretty sure this won't pay for Europe and my mission. Nice thinking though huh? So in the cold wind and rain Amber and I trudged through the outdoor mall getting more and more applications. Now we get to fill them out and start all over. It really is a long hard process.


I had 2 very promising interviews last week and unfortunately neither of them worked out. I have another one tomorrow with Amber and we will see how that goes. Still doing everything I can to keep busy and so far I have completed about 13 pages in my quote book I am making which is really cute! Also have accomplished watching more movies in one week then I can ever remember watching ha ha.


I really know I am so blessed I live with a very loving family that I feel right at home with and totally love. I am slowly starting to make new friends and have really felt like I am making a life here. Even if it is for such a short time! When I start to feel down and wonder why I came I always get these rejuvenating days where everything seems to go perfect. Its those days those simple things that make everything worth it in the end. They are what make life enjoyable!


So far my New Year has been very wonderful just a couple of snags in my great plan. I am doing well with my New Years resolution and we have changed it to once every 2 weeks if any at all. So far this new year I have had 2 spoonfulls of cookie dough and that is all. It has had its really hard times but right now at the moment it is getting a lot easier. I just know not to get anything and I know my body will survive. I just go for the mandrin oranges and 100 % real juice fruit snacks. Its been wonderful!
