Age 23 - The Year of Change

It has been awhile since my last blog... and I have a BUNCH of stuff going on right now.  So I will catch you all up bullet point fashion...

- I turned 23.  Not a very exciting age.

- My sister got me a Nook for my birthday.  I'm addicted and neglecting the stack of paper books that I need to read.

- We are in full swing volleyball right now and my girls won their first game!  I'm one proud coach :)  Our next game is tomorrow, hopefully this time I won't be as nervous.

- Husband and I took the dog to Family Camp.  Dog loved every second of it.  He learned how to swim and picked up EVERY.SINGLE.BAD.HABIT that any dog he came in contact had.  He started tunnelling out of our backyard, so we put up the invisible fence.  He started barking and howling at the neighbors, so we bought him a bark shock collar.  Husband says he's got more bling than ZZ Top.  What did dog do in retaliating of our new strict rules?? He ripped the screen out of our screen door.  Right now I am really regretting A) taking the dog camping B) ever getting dog in the first place.  Hopefully this little hellion stage doesn't last long otherwise I may just kill him or pawn him off on some unsuspecting victim that is deluded into thinking he actually has manners.

- I will be losing my job as a Customer Support Rep due to consolidation on December 31st of this year.  So I've been sending out a few applications here and there.  I will start getting more serious about applying towards the middle of October once volleyball season is nearing an end.

- I did apply for a 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatch position... I am really really hoping and praying for that position.  I just have to keep reminding myself, God's will not mine. 

- A person (er, me) can get very distracted and lose a few hours Googling "Typing Speed Test" as "practice" for a certification that I needed saying how many words per minute I type so I can apply for jobs.  Online my highest score was 70.  I have a Certificate saying that I type 65 words per minute with no errors... I would have died it they wouldn't let me use the backspace button.

- I started painting.  Husband thinks I am good, but he gets paid to say that ;)  I just enjoy it because it is relaxing and non-stressful.

I think that about summarizes things for now.  Until next time, God Bless!

UPDATE:  I posted this blog without a title because I was like - Oh I'll think of a good title while I'm typing- but then forgot that I didn't type in a title and clicked "Publish Post" POW!  And now I'm going to fix it.
