Interview tomorrow!

So I have an interview tomorrow at the St. Joseph Express Clinic. I would be one of the office girls. It seems from what I was talking to the lady that it will pretty much be full time but it is also as when needed basis. I will find out more tomorrow. She made it seem that it was pretty much as long as we talk I got it. The only thing is I have no idea what the pay is but also I have been playing phone tag with the people at Messina Hof to have an interview for an Event planning asst. But I figure it will all work out in the end.

Today was exhausting at the day care!!! So a child got so angry because he was told NO when he was hitting at the table that he made himself sick and VOMITTED!! So all day I smelled vomit. It was really gross.

Well I am watching my DVR'd Biggest Loser to get some motivation!! I will talk to yall peeps later!!

It has been awhile!

It has been awhile since I have written!! I have come back from Mexico, have a job, lost 10lbs and have had 2 calls for interviews!!! Mexico was awesome!! It was such a different trip than the others but is was life changing.

Rocks and Sea Glass in Mexico!

Every year that I have been to Mexico has been totally different and there is no way that I can say that one year was my favorite. Every year is uniquely special!!

So yes I do have a job. It is not a career but a job, it is a weekly paycheck. I am working at a daycare! I love kids and especially babies so what a great job! Well yes it is but I have never prayed so much for patience in a single day than when I came to work here. For the most part I am with 15 months to 4yr olds. So it is CRAZY! They are in the stage of pushing buttons, not listening, whining, telling you no, pushing, pinching, more whining and crying! But it seems like when I am just about to scream one of them will come up and give me a little knee hug!! Then that just makes my day. Then on the playground they find rocks (which they are EVERYWHERE) and give to me because they think that they are just so pretty and want me to take home. Even though this is something that I do not want and think I could not do this forever I have thanked God many times to have this opportunity to have this income till something else comes a long.

These are the babies that I got to be with for a few days and loved snuggling with them all!

Paige and Trinity with the AMAZING LEGO TOWER!!

Some of the Rocks in my rock collection that I have been given!

I have also lost 10lbs! Which is very exciting! I am doing weight watchers and am committed to lose 88 total lbs this year. My goal is to reach this 88lb loss by March 1, 2012. So I am down 10 with 78 more to go. I am doing this for ME. No one else! Weight has been a factor in my life since 8th grade when we had to take our height and weight in 8th grade. I will never forget I weighed 107 and thought that was massive and ever since then I can remember weight being an issue. Well what I would not give to weigh 107 lbs!!! Right! It has been a real struggle but I know that I can do this and the only way that I can do this is through the strength that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit give me. I have learned a lot reading the book "Reshaping it All" by Candace Cameron Bure. LOVE IT!! It talks about making yourself physically and spiritually fit. I would have never thought but the 2 totally go with each other and it works so much better to get physically fit if you are spiritually fit. I am not saying that it is easy! I LOVE sleep, french fries, chicken tenders, ice cream, candy, cakes, cookies, pies so all of that is NOT a recipe for losing weight. This is something that will help me love myself which in return people can only love me if I love myself! I am excited about this adventure of becoming the person that God wants me to be.

I got 2 calls today for interviews!! One at the St. Joseph Express Clinic, and one at Messina Hof. Excited to hear back from them!! I had to leave messages but will hopefully have interviews this week. I am STILL waiting to hear from the A&M Qatar job which is such an amazing experience. The chance to go overseas live there and work there as a Health Educator!! HELLO it has Rebecca written all over it!! Well I have written a lot but am attaching some more pics of recent events!!

One of my favorite spots on my morning walk!

Edward hit 113,000 MILES!!!!!!!!!!!

Mexico is getting Close!!

So we leave for Autlan Mexico in just 4 days! I cannot wait until 5am on Saturday when we are pulling out of the Church to head to the airport. I have loved going every spring break for the past 3 years and sharing the hope that God can provide for the people who do not know. I love seeing all of Mexico friends and catching up with them. I know that we are going to have a lot of fun and accomplish what God has for us. I know that he is going to keep us safe in all that is going on in Mexico.

I am going to miss my family and my tootsie and tallulah next week but am beyond excited to get on the airplane and head down south. This Sunday Brother Mike preached on the The Great Commission and it was so awesome to be thinking I am totally living that out next week! WOO HOO Mexico bound in just a dew days!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOTSIE!!!!!

Thos blog is dedicated to my Tootsie!!! She is 5 years old today!! She has been the absolute best dog ever! I love her and she has the best personality. She has taught me my love for boston terriers. She was literally the only family I had in Mississippi and she is the reason that I made it so long without family. She was a lifesaver!!

I love my Tootsie!! and she is just like a child!!!

Still no leads but the rejections are coming!!

Still nothing yet! I know that the right one is around the corner! I just wish it was sooner than later. The more I think and pray about nursing school I am thinking that I am definitely going to go get my transcript from SHSU and check into it. But I still need a job so I can I don't know pay for things like my car, cell phone, insurance! All that adult stuff that is no fun.

I am getting VERY VERY Excited about going to Mexico on the mission trip. I have been overwhelmed with the amazing giving hearts of my friends and family with their outpourings of prayer and financial support for this amazing trip. This will be 4th trip that I have taken and it never gets old. I am very excited to see how God is going to use us.

Here are a few pictures of Tallulah post Spay Surgery!!

hmmmmmmm

So you can see these pics and tell that we had an AwEsOmE snow day! We definitely do not see a lot of these in Texas so we took full advantage of it! I have been doing ok on the healthy choices and exercising bit!! I actually did not lose as much of my running stamina that I had thought!! YAY! that was a great surprise.

It is definitely a little different living at home with my parents but it is great to know that I am home. I am still looking for a job and cannot wait to find the right one. I have been thinking and need to think and pray some more about going to nursing school!! I know! right totally crazy!! I have always thought it would be awesome to be a nurse. I would love to be in Labor and Delivery, NICU, Oncology. I talked a little about it with my mom tonight. I will have to take I think 4 pre-reqs, only 1 would be a new class and I would have to take 3 over because I was not a serious student when I took them and got D's!! So there will be a lot of prayers and thoughts going into this decision!

It is kinda funny because I am loving being at home with my fam and friends but am missing my ACS family and my job. I do not miss the Delta but I miss my job, the cancer patients, and the great mission!

love yall!

Just Dance 2 is all in the family!!

So Sybil went out and bought Just Dance 2 for the Wii! It is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just awesome! We have all been having so much fun playing it!! It is a great way for us to exercise since it has been MEGA Cold!!! Good news! Since moving to Texas I have lost 3lbs! That is very very exciting! I have a picture and a video of Andrew playing! I think that our favorite song is Viva Las Vegas to dance to!

On the job front nothing yet but I know that it is out there!!

Bloggin and hugs! Rebecca
