Great day and Many blessings in sight.

I do pay my tithing and i witnessed a blessing the other day. I was at work and this lady i was working with came up and gave me a check for 50$ and told me not to tell anyone else. and that this was just a blessing and that she will do it when ever she can. She said she felt like she really needed to do this to help me out that day. The next day i went to get gas and i put my card in and it was declined. I dont get paid till friday. Sadly it was still a check so i had no money but i managed to magically find 15$in my pocket that i had been given me for helping out with the kids at another job i had done previously that i had forgotten about. So i have that 50$ to pay my phone bill this month and also for 15$ of gas to hold me over till i get paid. So i know paying tithing is what i should do, i do it and i just still struggle. I just wish i didn't have to struggle so much ALL THE TIME.

Just a little blessing i witnessed and felt like sharing with you all. I know i have posted some kinda downer and not so happy posts lately and so i wanted to post something great!

Today is something great as well. I had the whole day off and nothing really that i needed to do other than cash that check. (which i still didn't get to, been too busy to go down the street) I took my sisters to seminary for their first day and then came home to try and sleep for another hour or so. Then shortly after 9 i got up and put my work out clothes on and my ipod together and went down stairs to attack the storage closet. I found all my boxes i had in there from moving out here. I went through each and everyone of them. I rearranged them so i could fit more. I crammed what ever i could into the boxes so i had less boxes there. It was mostly old clothes and stuffed animals. I got rid of things. Then when i was done down there (two hours later) i went upstairs to go through everything i had up there. I cleaned all the piles of things i had all around the apartment. I put it all away, condensed, threw away, straightened and packed everything i could into boxes. I organized everything today in a fashion that will be most helpful when i move to idaho, or if that doesn't work out, when i move out in general. I put the things i would need for school into one box and things i could leave home in another and then put them in storage. Now i have everything but the basic essentials packed. I fit every piece of clothing (minus coats, which are in their own suitcase) into a huge suitcase. It's so big i can fit in it if i want to. When i leave i will take with me the two suitcases. One tub of blankets with a heating blanket included. One small tub of books for school. One small box of things like pictures, speakers, scriptures, so on and so forth, that i will leave open so i can use when ever. I will take a small shelf thing, and my filing cabinet. I am so proud of myself today and all the work i got done. I am also proud that i did other things in the house as well to help mom. Im proud that i got all the packing done (for no reason really) in one day.

With Daniel gone, now i have all this time to do projects. I have an ongoing, never ending project with music. I was putting the names on all the songs that didn't get recognized by itunes. But last night i realized in my attempt to copy all the files on my computer to my external hard drive, some how i lost all my itunes collection. Thats 10,000 songs. Over a weeks worth of movies. Over a weeks worth of tv shows. 4 months of podcasts. I found it somewhere in all my searching but it wouldn't transfer back to my itunes so i have to figure it all out soon.

Also once i get paid on friday i can pay the application fee for byu-i. Im praying that things will work out with that. That i can get healthcare that will cover me entirely or that i can find two and between them i would be taken care of. Im also praying for financial aid to come through and scholarships or something so that i can pay for everything i will need once i move out. Like car insurance, living, food, school, and all that good stuff. If you could help me out by praying for that as well, it would be apprieciated!

Brook and Brylee are now both in high school and seminary so it makes getting them to school easy. They seem to like it now that they are back on a schedule and doing things productive to keep busy. Brylee seems to be adapting well and it helps that Brook is there with her.

Daniel is loving being out of the home and with new people his own age. He has in interesting roomate that will keep things alive. I think it will be easier for him to be away from me that long because this roomate seems to be just as silly as i am. He dressed up with a cape and all that good stuff while i was on webcam with Daniel tonight. They go and play ball or sports often so that's really good. Classes start tomorrow and he is signed up for 5 classes i believe. He wants to get at least 14 credits but hoping for 17. He is looking for work and so we are praying for that as well (you can join if you would like). The transition of being apart has actually been better than i expected. We get free unlimited calling to each other since we are on the same company. It costs him a 1$ a day to talk to me when ever his phone is activated. We also have skype and have done that a few times a day. Checking in with each other. I talk to him more now than i did when he lived here. (Minus the whole being in person thing. We didn't talk on the phone for more than a minute cause we were always together)

anyways that's how things are here with me right now so ill let you all go and enjoy your time. Best of luck to you all and have a great week. Talk to you later! and with me luck!
