Whats going on now...

Although i know there isn't anyone that reads these i figure i should update the world. today is Friday and i have been working as a temp for Wells Fargo home mortgage for 6 and 1/2 months. I really like the work i do here but the fear of it all being over at any moment is frightening. I think about it every day especially now that is has slowed down.

I had a 2nd interview last week for a different department with in Wells Fargo and i really really hope i get the job. they said they will be hiring for the open positions next week so all the prayers will be helpful! i think this position will be just the challenge that i need in my life.

otherwise everything else in my life is pretty much the same. i am still with Levan and i am still a evening student at the art institute. we have recently gone on 2 trips which were awesome...

once to Las Vegas for my B-day, we went with about 8 friends and we had a blast! and then for Levans B-day we went to NY to visit his sister for 5 days which was an awesome trip as well.

besides that life is sliding by so quickly i just wonder if it will ever slow down... Levan and I bought a boat! that is super exciting, we love being on the lake on the weekends with our friends. hopefully we will get to take it out this weekend too!

thanks for listening, i have plenty of things running through my head that i could add but i don't want to bore any possible readers.

New things...

So far 2009 has started out well for me, although I began the year with no job, I have been pretty happy. things are started to feel a bit more normal now, I am working and back in school. I started a contract position with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and I think its going well. they do not know how long it will last be the assumption is about 6 months. As most everyone knows Levan and I are still together and we are actually doing amazing! Alot of things have changed but I am still the same. I do not have much else to say but I miss everyone from my old job alot!! I am however getting used to my new life!

Turkey Day.....

I am thankful for so many things i dont know where to begin, first off I am thankful for YOU! I am thankful for friends and family. I am grateful for God and love. I am grateful for the ability to breathe and swallon, you know, I am THANKFUL!!!

Now lets get to the part where I praise myself...

This year is a first for a few things,

1. Not spending the afternoon with my immediate family.
2. Making my FIRST thanksgiving meal, all by myself.
3. Inviting only friends.

I woke up at 9:30am and started cooking, even the turkey and you bet it was amazingly moist. YES, I did a rockstar job!!! I also made stuffing with mushroom, onion, pork sausage and apple. then i made the basics including salad, sweet potato casserole, mashed potato and gravy, I really enjoy being domestic, it feels great, THANK GOD for my ability to cook.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING GUYS!!! XOXO

Baklava

So, appearantly when you get laid off you get the uncontrollable urge to bake. hehe well thats what i have heard from Katie's blog atleast. I just really love to bake and especially try new things. I have been wanting to make homemade baklava, and so i did! and it was really delightful. Next time I will change a few things, I will make extra syrup to pour on top so the pastry is extra moist and I will grind my walnuts even smaller so the layers stay together better! but for a first try, i have to say im very proud of my self.

If any of you want to try making it give yourself plenty of time!

If you would like the recipe I used, just email me! I'd love to hear from you :)
