I'm ALIVE!

Dear family and friends,

I AM ALIVE. I'm sorry that I have completely neglected my blog and facebook for those of you that are facebook friends. But the truth of the matter is that it isn't my choice. This last month has been a little on the crazy side. It's almost like everything I touch breaks! In one day my laptop, ipod, and phone all broke. I got a new phone, my awesome dad sent me his ipod, but I am still lacking a lap top and am currently in the process of saving up to buy a new one. The problem with that is I have bills up the wall! Between the dentist and the doctors I have zero money for anything else. RUDE! Anyways, I've been stealing roomates' computers and sneaking onto Ryan's when I have the chance, so be patient with me. I promise I'm not doing it on purpose.

There really isn't anything exciting happening in my life. Just the same ol' same ol'. I work from 9-5 everyday then spend the rest of the day with Ryan. My weekend have been consisting of BYU Men's Volleyball games.Those are really fun because Ryan and I get to see Davis and the kids. Its really fun.

That's about it. Just workin my tail off and getting ready for next semester...JOY!

Love you all!

Dreams DO come true!

I don't know if you have heard but....



I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and its my dream job and im so excited!!!! When I moved to Utah, aside from school, my motive was to get a job at a scrapbook vendor. I had a job that I was looking into but it ended up going out of business. So lately I've been jobless and struggling to find one. FINALLY the other day i was on the provo craft website (www.provocraft.com) check it out! and I saw that they were hiring for a customer service/sales support position at their corporate offices! I quickly applied and took my resume to them...to make a long story short, I got called in for an interview the next day and got the job!!! As I was being interviewed by the supervisor she stopped and said "you know, I would love to have you on my team, but I think there is another area you would be great in." So she refered me to another area and I ended up getting interviewed there too! SO i start monday and I will be trained in both areas...i have my own office and everything!!! wooo i finally have a good job! this is what ive been waiting for since.....forever!!!!!!

wish me luck!

It's Been a WHiLE

Sorry I'm an awful blogger but what can ya do! So I feel like I had a really great day today and I wanted to write about it...not only for your sakes, but I want to be able to look back on this day and feel happy.
So church here is a hard thing for me. I don't really know anyone in the ward and the roomate that I'm the closest too doesn't really go to church all that often. So its been a struggle. So today I decided to change my outlook a bit. I decided that I was going to go to church with the goal and excitement to meet new people...and thats EXACTLY what I did. There is this girl named Julia that spoke one of my first weeks there and I have wanted to be her friend ever since. So, today I walked right up to her tell her I loved her testimony and that I wanted to be her friend. From there I made friends with her friends Mary and Adam who are both awesome. Then I decided to stay and join the ward choir where I met a boy named Josh who invited me over to his house for scripture study. Then I came home from church where I met two (very cute) canadian boys in the parking lot, Ben and Jay. Then from there I went to ward prayer where I met SEVERAL people and was told I have beautiful eyes (HA they arent so squinty after all) Then I went from there to Josh's where I met Chase, Steven, Natalie, Sara, and Jessica. So whats that...11+ in one day!

It has AMAZED me what can happen when you wake up with the intent to accomplish something in the morning. I prayed that I would be brought into people's lives and that I would feel at home here and based on today, its looking pretty great!

I encourage you all to wake up tomorrow( or whenever you read this) and set a goal for yourself that day. Put yourself out there and don't let anything stop you. Keep a prayer in your heart and you will be amazed at what you accomplish!

Love you all!

LISTEN PEOPLE!

I haven't been blogging lately because i have NOTHING to blog!! Seriously my schedule is as follows: wake up, eat, homework, work, sleep. NO TIME FOR ANYTHING! after halloween i should have a life again but work has seriously been INSANE! we had 1,800 calls today! OH speaking of that! cool story. blog worthy FO SHO! so I get a call from a lady today who is from hawaii. I asked her for her address so i could place the order and she said she was from ouahu. I asked her where abouts and told her i had family that lived there (pa's side) anyways she asked what my families last name was and i told her it would either be higa or isa. all of a sudden she was like SHUT UP! are you chelsie isa? and i was like yes....? a little freaked out...anyways...she then said OH MY GOSH! David (pa) was one of my great friends! I grew up with them! anyways i thought it was pretty funny. forgot her name i think it was jennifer or something but she was a really great lady who apparently knew of me. weird!
anyways so thats what ive been up to. Im officially ADDICTED to the tv show 24 and watch it any chance i get. LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME JACK BAUER!!!



Oh i forgot to tell you i got some artwork done...this guy Russ from work took me and we got some sleeves done. what do you think?

Hang in there car!

My poor little car isn't used to this crazy weather!!! She had her first snow experience and I don't think she cared for it too much! Hang in there Betsy!!!!

Lovin' the hot chocolate, scarf, and coat weather. Its grrrrrrrrrreat!

I'm "Slackin"....

Says my mom! Sorry I have been slacking on the blog posts! I just recently got a job (i posted about it earlier) and I really don't have much time for anything now. I wake up and do homework, leave for work at 2, and don't get home until midnight. Its no fun. So there hasn't really been much to blog about.
Let's catch up on what there is...
My roomate, Chelsea, got/has swine flu. Its been fun sanitizing the house thats for sure. Its been hailing/raining here just about every night and doesn't reach any temperature above 50. I got a promotion-ish at work so things have been so crazy. With it getting closer to halloween, more people are calling in and more people are getting impatient and unhappy. It is nice though to work with a bunch of great people!!!
Thats all thats been going on in my neck of the woods...how about yours?

Taylor, Anthony, Lindsey, and I! Coolest lunch group on the PLANET!

Oh hey snow, whats up?

 

Well looks like here in Orem, Utah we have skipped fall all together and gone straight to winter. It is currently 30 degrees and snowing...SUCKY! Isn't this like...illegal? Snow? In September? You gotta be kidding me!!! Good thing its not my week to drive to work:] everyone keep your fingers crossed and prayers going for people on the streets in Utah. California driver is out and she has NO clue what she is doing!
