Day 7

Dear READER,


Today has probably been the busiest day I've had since I can remember. I love being busy but sometimes there is an overabundance, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.


It took me 2 hours to get into the office this morning. I was at the metro stop bright and early 5:45am. I wanted to be in early as I had so much to do today. Well I didn't get into the office until 7:30am. It was very frustrating - but on the bright side I was able to get a lot of scripture reading done.

Today was the first day since I started my diet at the beginning of the year that someone who didn't know I was on one mentioned how good I was looking. I work with this women and I think she is gorgeous. I literally want to look like her. Well as we were passing in the hall we said good morning as we passed. She then turned around and came right up to me. 'Jenessa, I just want to let you know, you are looking really good these days.' Maybe it was because I was a slob before - I don't know but she said I mean you are looking really good. I took it as well she might not know that's I've lost 15 pounds or am down 3 dress sizes but she notices that I am looking good which is great. It could have also been because I put some lip gloss on today. Take it as you well, I felt pretty good.

I had 20 message on my phone today. I was in the supply room packing most of the day so I missed a lot of calls. BUT I called everyone back and was able to help them before I left the office. It made me feel like the Hero.
Even with that said I have brought work home to do as I have to finish invoicing, emails, and inputting data before I can go to bed. I'm procrastinating a bit by writing instead of working. I love my job and how busy I am but man today has been really busy and I am just tired and want to sleep for 12 hours. Wouldn't that be nice.

I went Visiting Teaching -- the we taught was sooooo cool. She reminds me of my cousin Cam who just got married. This sister has just turned 20 and is engaged to this charming guy. The date is June 26th or maybe it was July 26....one of those. She is sooo excited. We got to see the ring, the dress, the bridesmaid dresses, the flowers, it was so much fun. I was a bit surprised at how it went tonight because in Church I have always seen her as quite and kind of in the background but today when we arrived wow she was so cool and talked with us and laughed and enjoyed the whole thing, it wasn't awkward at all. I just love VISITING TEACHING.
And my companion, I know I said it yesterday but she is just soooo great. I have been so very blessed.

I went to my first Family Home Evening (FHE) since moving out here. It was good. Interesting, but good. I got to meet a lot of new people. I also learned that the whole UTAH and BYU rivalry is alive and out there. I'd be in trouble if I felt that way at all as one of my Best friends went to the 'U'. And even more then that, I almost did my graduate program there. Taking off the blue and putting on the red, but I didn't end up doing that.

Lets talk about Captain Planet for a minute. I never watched this show on TV growing up but apparently it was my generations thing. Everyone in my FHE group knew about it and loved it. I was actually surprised by how much they knew or wanted to know about it. What was sooo great about Captain Planet. I didn't stay long after that as I had another appointment but it was fun to see how excited everyone especially the brethren got about this show.


So know that I've put laundry in, eaten dinner, and gotten in my PJ's I should probably get to work so that I can get to bed at some point tonight.


Yours Truly,

Jenessa
