November Ramblings

Well its one of those nights Hayden has school till super late, so I have some free time to do whatever. So I made dinner, twice! ( because the first meal I cooked sucked), then I worked out, and now I blog. I am a productive machine! Oh and I accepted a promotion to be a banker yesterday...Im rolling! But in all seriousness, we are very grateful I got that promotion, an early Christmas gift you could say. Its funny cause when I first started with Wells Fargo I was so turned off by our pushy sales tactics, and I even once told Hayden and I quote " I will never be a banker, thats a terrible job!"....well money is a great motivator. No I'm kidding, what changed my mind would probably just have to be the principle of sticking it out. I have never had a job longer than the one I have now... and what once was a weakness can become a strength if you work hard. I still hate selling, and I hate when people do it to me..cause I have issues saying No. But I have made it my specialty to sell with a smile and kindness, people just think Im friendly when I talk about a loan. Its kinda awesome.

On a different note, the "holistic healing" of my arthritis is going much better. And I think I've narrowed it down to my adjustments from my chiropractor. They are really starting to make a difference. I haven't had too much trouble getting up in almost one full week. My goal is to be running by Christmas! When I started to feel better, I got a little worried cause as far as I was concerned nothing major changed in my diet, or in what ever else I did so I feared I was pregnant ( supposedly pregnancy cures RA)...were not. *deep breath*

And now I shall talk about my lesson to the Young Women I gave on sunday. Talk about a headache. Well a blessing headache, is there a such thing? Anyway, I obviously know Im not very creative. I suck at crafts and cute little bows and catchy phrases. So all those possibilities flew out the window when planning. I just really wanted to plan a lesson that would reach the Young Women, that they could hear what I had to say and it wouldnt be too far off in relation to what they were experiencing. The whole title of the Lesson was "overcoming your problems"....and well lets see I have had many problems, and most of which I have overcome. I know that when your in high school boys are a huge fat freaking deal. So I may or may not have told the saga of Hayden ripping my heart out and then giving it back to me. Such a sweet tale. No but really, I know that we as girls WIG out over that kind of thing, we literally think its the end of the world if your not loved back. Well I told them about how its not the end of the world. And I shared with the the Mormon Message "Mountains to Climb". Which really quickly I will share that for one second I tried to get creative with that talk and bought the candy "mounds" and put them in a really ugly pumpkin vase I bought at walmart...and I forgot to hand them out....Moving along, I felt the lesson went well, theres obviously going to always be those young women who avoid eye contact, the ones that text and talk, and the ones who look at you like you are an alien from another planet. but I know deep down that they get me. They've been there. and if there not its coming. and believe me I told them that too. Life only gets harder and that better cling to that testimony of theres. Im so glad i developed a sense of who i was before I married Hayden. Im so happy i had a boat load of trials before having a husband. I like that I have a past...a good, happy, full one. It makes marriage so much more rewarding now.

Well i think thats all I got. I dont have a baby yet, so I dont post pictures. follow me on insta for that. hahahah I have always wanted to do a "follow me" shout out. Check that off the list:)
