time keeps on ticking...

It's been several months and an update is LONG overdue! There really aren't too many updates on my life really, mostly just thoughts I've been pondering :) I'm still working at Wells Fargo and loving it! Sure we get busy and sometimes I count the time until we close the doors, but I absolutely LOVE my job!!! It also helps that I have some super fun co-workers!
Today at church someone mentioned something about how many days old he was and what he's accomplished in life thus far (in my own words of course). It got me to thinking...then I calculated that today I am 9,254 days old...what have I done with my life thus far and what am I doing today? Somehow my thoughts snowballed into my relationship with Heavenly Father and the 5 love languages. I don't remember exactly what they're referred to, but in my own words they are as follows: 1-words of affirmation 2-actions 3-gifts 4-quality time and 5-touch. So I was thinking, I wonder which love language Heavenly Father is...then I realized it's like anything else, he does it all! And best of all he gives us ways to express our love and appreciation to him in each language as well... 1-prayer, 2-service to others, 3-fast offerings, donations, etc, 4-scripture study/temple attendance (times we set aside for just him!), 5-the Holy Ghost (this one was kinda hard for me, so instead of thinking he wasn't perfect I thought for now I'd just leave it as a way he shows his love for me...through the comforter)
So there ya go, that's my random little trace of thoughts for the day!

I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!!!

Okay, here's the warning label: I'm about to whine and complain...b/c I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!!!



This last Friday was CRAZY BUSY at work...we had a line out the door from noon until 5:30pm! We hadn't seen it that busy in over 6 weeks and were NOT prepared for such an occassion! Nobody could even THINK about going to the bathroom or getting water, it was so busy. In the midst of all the craziness I missed a phone call from my landlord, Kyla, and then Janna...two of them leaving voicemails. I was beginning to worry and wonder what was going on...then the landlord sent me a text that made me want to cry..."Amy, I'm not sure exactly how to put this...the good news is you get new carpet, the bad news is your apt flooded! Give me a call when you get a chance. Sorry!"

When we finally got a breather around 5:30 I told everyone and I got to start balancing out and start the closing routine so we could all get out as quickly as possible...which turned out to be 6:15...not bad considering we close the doors at 6:05! I drove straight home and found all doors and windows of not only our apt, but the downstairs apt wide open! The water heater had busted and left 4 inches of standing water in our apt and began raining into the downstairs apt!!! I feel so bad for the landlord...he has a LOT to take care of :S

The landlord is doing great at keeping in touch. As of right now it looks like we'll be out for another couple of days...Janna is staying with her brother and sister-in-law while I'm back in Kari's house, sharing a bed/room with Kyla. We're so blessed to have friends and family that can help out at the drop of a hat!
