I'm Back!

Short message, but sweet. My computer is all better now!!! I can blog again!

Without My Computer

For those who are wondering what has been happening to me recently, I have not blogged because I am without my computer and I am DYING! I make almost daily trips to my Mom's house where I can either use her computer or my sister, Kerry's computer. The day after I got my car back, my computer wouldn't boot up when I returned from work. Long story short, my hard drive is on its way to Texas (it should actually be there by now) and hopefully within a week or two, I should have a new one sent back to me so I can become technology proficient again. I will give a full update when I am back in full capacity!

Car Update

After a day of agonizing over my car, I am proud and extremely happy to say that I have my car back. I am so appreciative of all those who helped me through my time of trial- especially Debi Moosman who came and got me at 6:00 a.m. to take me to work. Can I just say how much I love this ward and the wonderful friends I have?! I feel so emotional right now. I hope my worries will now dissipate. LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Help in Time of Trouble

I HAVE THE BEST WARD EVER! Today, I got in my car and drove to Church just like I do on any given Sunday. When Church was over, my car wouldn't start. I tried a few times and nothing. I could turn the key part way and it would give me the "ding" sounds that tell me my seatbelt isn't on. When I tried to push in the clutch and brake to actually get the car started, nothing. I started walking back into the Church when I ran into Brother Tandiman who came to look under the hood. Within 5 minutes, the Moosmans and Mehrs pull up and try to jump start my car. When that didn't work, they push started it.

The Moosmans followed me to Auto Zone (thank goodness they just barely built one by us) where they tested my battery and alternator, but found it to be okay. After we dropped off her husband at home so he could go home teaching, Debi followed me all the way to my dealership in Sandy where we couldn't get in because everything was chained up. We were thinking we could just leave my car there and put my key in a drop box, but I guess not.

To make a long story shorter, Debi had me follow her to her brother-in-law's house where he could take it to work tomorrow to find out what is wrong with it. Debi is also coming to pick me up at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow so I can get to work. My heart is so full of love for my wonderful neighbors. I feel like I give them so little and they give me so much in return. I feel awful that people are having to move around their schedules to help me, but I hope they know that by being there for me, they have touched my heart and shown me what it is to be Christlike. Because of their example, I want to become a better member of the Church.

I will update my situation tomorrow. Hopefully things will be on track and my car will be back in my possession. Thank you everyone who has ever shown kindness to me. I will never forget it.

Background Change

Okay, so I've changed my background once again to what I'd like to think is prettier. I'm still not liking the post title color I have chosen though, but I can't find one that seems to fit the blue text. And I like the blue text. Please send me suggestions on a better color. It's driving me crazy!

Also, does anyone remember how to change the color of my playlist box at the bottom. I don't think this purple color works.

Free At Last! Free At Last!

Shout HOORAY everyone! I have just come home from my last Gifted and Talented endorsement class! It has taken me a year and a half plus countless hours of work on 3 separate practicums (minimum of 45 hours each), but I have done it. I have to wait until my grade posts and then fill out a cutesy form so I can be official with the state of Utah, but I'M DONE!!! I just had to let that out! Now maybe I'll have more time for blogging. Maybe I'll even change my background again tonight. The possibilities are endless...

Winter Scenes

I have finally decided to change my background to a more appropriate season. I have to vent though at the lack of winter scenes to choose from on "The Cutest Blog on the Block"! It says there aren't any available when I press winter and so few are actually generic winter. I didn't want to do just Christmas backgrounds because I want to have this up a little longer. As you can see, the green on my snowball-throwing people is just tacky. I would change the color of their green clothes to something more appropriate, but I don't think I know how (if it's possible). Anyway, if anyone knows of some other way cute backgrounds suitable for winter, let me know. I'm open to suggestions.
