What do i want for a Job....

Last January i started the job of my dreams
with the most amazing group of ladies i have ever met
We were like a happy family, we all worked in an office together...

I worked there til the last week of July 2012 
when we moved here...

I was getting 'paid' Employment Insurance because i left my job to be with my husband who got transferred.
I knew i needed to find work so i have been applying every day
this city does not have a big Job Supply
I even did a 2 days course on how to get a job

Yesterday the phone rang and i FINALLY got an interview
it was with CIBC 
not my ideal job but hey, beggars can't be choosers. It is at a Contact Centre and over night shifts. 
Interview was scheduled for today at 10:45
I think i did great, will find out tomorrow if i am the lucky person

Tonight i applied for another job 
this time i have an inside contact that i made sure to put down as a reference, this would be my ideal job as a office clerk. 
I am really hoping i get a job very quickly so there is no hole in my income...
I have been doing so well with my savings and i really don't wanna use them up now. 

I think i am less stressed over it then i have ever been because i know moving here was the will of God and we are at peace because of it. 
He will provide he always does, today as soon as i got the last EI cheque i had an interview, that my friends is a God thing =)

I'd appreciate if you would all say a prayer that i stay in God's will and do what he wants me to do. 
thats the most important thing in anything, if we are not in his will, we will be so miserable and grumpy, not the way we should be showing his love. 
I have several friends who work at this Contact Center as well, never know perhaps we can work together

Thanks for your time and your prayers, well wishes what ever you may give. I love you all 

Quote of the Day:

New Years Eve

New Years Eve 

first of all a day without a snow storm

slept in beautifully until 11:20 am- i love my sleep
Had to go in town to do some shopping with my father in law, so net by his office to check email etc. 
got home and needed to prepare food for the Grothe's Annual New Years Eve party
We cooked chilli, turkey for sandwiches with fresh homemade bread, mozza sticks, pizzaronis, cold pizza dip,cheese,crackers, delicious punch..
so much food but thats normal at this house.

People arrived around 7 and we got started..
laughed a lot, did the 12 days of christmas song, played charades, pulled out the music- guitar, banjo, piano and flute.
i kept my little nephew happy because he loves to play UNO and i  was the only one to play with him, we had fun and even uncle Andrew joined us. 

We then tidied the house when everyone left so we could try and finis the star trek collection… we watched till 1 am but still not done, so tomorrow we will finish them then go to my mom's house again. 

Here's to a great 2013 friends <3

Busy Monday

This has been a busy Monday
Hubby took Brooke skiing for the day so i started cleaning, unpacking, etc
I unpacked everything from our trip {there was a lot}
I had to unpack 3 suitcases{i wanna learn to pack light}
I had to get laundry started
then decided to put away presents and things we brought home with us {BIG job}
Then because i was feeling energetic i took Christmas down and packed it all away, reorganized my house as well.....
Started changing bedding in the beds as well {we had 2 people staying here before we left} 


It is so good to be home, as good as a vacation is, it is so good to be back home and get a routine back again

Happy Birthday Sister



Happy 27th  Birthday to a special person in my life

She is a great sister, aunt, mom, wife, daughter and a friend


Sister, we've been there through life's sorrow and pain
But together we have always endured the strain
We've argued and bickered and made each other mad
But if you weren't my sister, life would be so sad
We've cried till we laughed and laughed till we cried
Sometimes for no reason we didn't even know why
When we're not together our bond is just as strong
Because we are sisters we know when something is wrong
We've whispered our deepest secrets only sisters could share
I love my sister dearly because she really cares
So whether we are together or we are far apart
Rachel , you're my sister, my friend and forever in my heart.



Weekend Recap

Sorry I didn't blog to let you know I was home, but here i am 
spent the day with my family before we started the trek back home.  
Went to run a few errands for my mom- we had lunch with them and then around 4 pm we started the drive back home...
When we left there were tears off course and i felt sad about leaving although it was time to get back to our lives here and a routine again...
We had driven 2 hours when we got into a Snow Storm, it was so stormy there were times when we had no idea if we were on the road or where we were, couldn't see anything.
I was terrified and so thankful that we were protected along all the driving we did in the past 3 weeks...
We were in the storm the rest of the drive, we did still arrive an hour before we needed to be there, we went and got some Subway and ate in the car after being in the line for loading. 
We got a cabin ( with 3 beds,bathroom, desk, etc), it was so incredibly hot on there that it was hard to get sleep, we slept with a cool cloth all night long..


We arrived on the Nova Scotia soil at 6:15 am and we had to unload which took place around 8:30 am... the skies were clear and we thought we were going to have a good day to drive...we get about 45 mins on the road and the Snow started again....it didn't let up for several hours, all the while i am dealing with a major panic attack- all i wanted to do was cry and cry, we stopped at a restaurant for breakfast and i couldn't even eat, all i did was sit in the car and cried, i finally gave in and took ativan and then i relaxed a little.
Here is the pictures of the roads and the amount of snow we got





 This is in Newfoundland where we were. 


 this is back here, not a lot of snow, can still see grass




We met up with a friend of hubby's for coffee, it was nice to meet him and get out of the car for awhile.
We did stop at my aunts after that and had a little visit with them and had to drop of Christmas Presents to them from home. This picture is near her house, there is something about it, i love


Back in the car and i finally napped, i woke up when we were in our driveway, i felt so exhausted, panic attacks wear me out. I hope i never have another one again, they used to happen very often, glad they don't anymore. 
The big job was to unload everything and get things put away, i was so tired i couldn't move to do anything. 
Very early bed time 


It was amazing to be back to church with our amazing church family there. 
Brooke went to a friends house so hubby and i had a lunch date...it was very nice to sit and relax and catch up with him, we then went to get groceries, there is so much to do after a vacation, we are having a skiing day tomorrow so i needed to find a snow suit for Brooke- went to Zellers, costco, value village, finally got one at Walmart for $25. Got home from that and started taking Christmas down, i hate the feeling of Christmas being gone, i love to keep it up all year around.

We got sad news on Andrew's grandpa- he is in a hospital in Minnesota with a aneurysm, i hope nothing happens and he is coming around and better in no time. 

I am about to open up my online store for my Sashay scarves :) I will be sure to post the link here and i am even doing a giveaway for one soon
