What was that? I think you said something ridiculous but I can't hear it over the stupid.

I quit my job today. I figured I was done being treated like crap so I put in my two weeks notice after a Sexual Harassment seminar gone wrong. To celebrate my loving husband is taking me to see "Eclipse" tonight at 12:10 and yes, I'm excited. I know it'll probably be ridiculously stupid, but I am a Twilight fan, and was one before it even became big, so there!

So, this is what quitting means:
1. I won't go crazy and lose my sanity and Adam won't have to worry about me jumping off one of the distant Alaskan Mountains.
2. I won't have to have my phone on me at all times, neither do I have to answer it when someone calls. Joyous day!
3. I can write my story.
4. I can take more pictures.
5. I can finish making the present I'm working on for my future niece.
6. I can actually go out at SEE Alaska and not just the back of the house staring at my apartment window.
7. Adam will sell better because he won't have to be worrying so much about how stressed I am.
8. Adam will have his wife back. (Yay personality! I missed you.)
9. I won't have to deal with people fighting with me all the time over stupid stuff that they have to do.
10. I don't have to work.

Maybe I'll be able to go out selling with Adam one of these days. :) I still have two weeks left but I think I feel at peace with my decision. Nervous, but really good.

Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing me with strength. I really needed it.

Wishes

There are times where I wish I was more like my dad. He's always very calm and can take a bad situation and make it the most wonderful and happy experience of his life. There are days, like yesterday, when the world hates me and for some reason I am in charge of fixing everyone else's problems, that I wish I wouldn't scream or cry, I just wish I were my dad.

He's just that awesome.

My dad works for a company called Vital Smarts. They distribute the book Crucial Conversations. I think they wrote that book by observing my dad and how awesome he is because he is the definition of that book. I know I should read it, but why should I when I could just talk to him?

Today was a better day than yesterday.

I am truly a blessed person and have had little mercies flood my life. Thank GOODNESS!

Birthday Bliss

Husband promised me that if he got 7 sales before Saturday, he would take the day off and spend it with me. We were very blessed and got to spend a wonderful day together (and I got to actually get out of the hotel room). Here are some pictures that we took to document the historic 20th anniversary of my being born:









The shoe full of candy was a present from my mom that she sent to me via snail mail. I love it!


Adam spoiled me with a picnic, a trip to the Anchorage museum, and crab for dinner. The crab was really quite disappointing, but the day was fantastic! This was the best birthday I have ever had, and the first one where I was married. Magic is probably the only word that can describe my day and magic it was.
