Well I got offered a new job at a bigger store and busier location! well still Chick-fil-a!:) I am so honored to be invited but it will make me have to make some big decisions in the next few months. Should I take the promotion and stay local for college? should I go to FC and be in debt? Should I move up to RI for my free college? So many choices and I can only pick one. I am so blessed to have so many choices though!:) These transition into adult years are so tough.

Anybody else have trouble with the transition years?

Anyways for the next few months i get to enjoy being a kid! Job, school and traveling. Im so excited for all my up coming trips!:) Its my last big trips for awhile!

This is a little bit of a drama work related story! As many of you know I am a leader at my work but being my age that I am it causes a lot of problems. My owner is a very nice gentlemen and is always so sweet and praises me for everything I do right but always blames others when I tell him I messed up. with this taking place it has caused the other managers to believe I am trying to take there place. i've been told that I think im miss perfect and I think I run the store and all that stuff. Its been very emotional to me because my Owner is the one in charge and i believe we should honor our authority. I am trying my best to do my job right and Im not sure what to do at this point. If I stopped working the way I do my owner would be upset but doing what Im doing now is causing a bar between me and the other managers. the hardest part for me is the managers are venting to the employees. Using names which makes me so hurt. I'm trying to stay strong and show them I'm not trying to take there spots in fact I dont want there spots. I like my potion now. UGH!

Prayers would be wonderful! I want to handle this with a godly attitude.

I can't believe it was a year ago that my family moved. I miss everyone still a lot but I find that home is wherever my family is around.
Sometimes we go into something thinking its gonna be bad but it ends up being a benefit. I have found if you put your mind to being happy
and to exceed you will. Somethings are a blessing that are hidden at first.

I'm looking forward too October when I take some ownership classes. Then in April when I will have a new sibling Lord willing then next December
when I should be graduating from high school. So much is ahead of me. I can't wait to accomplish what I can.

I also love my job. I haven't had to miss one single church night or one gospel meeting. It has been so great! i love spending time with my brothers and
sisters in christ worshipping our father up in Heaven.

My life is God, Family, work and school! I am considered a full time worker at Chick-fil-a. It has really been a great job for me. I resently got promoted to a Team Leader and I have my own manager card. The very best part of my job is that I never have to work a Sunday or a Wednesday night.:) Working I have found to be more fun then I ever thought it would be, but I must give credit to the people I work with on that. When I am not working i am at home doing school.My day to hangout with friends is sunday. I go to church with my friends and then have some over every sunday. My family life now revolves around my work. I feel bad because if I wasnt afraid to drive I would be able not to bother them at 5 in the morning to bring me to work. My family has been amazing with my crazy life. My mom is one pretty amazing person, always getting everything done. Thats my busy life! I just love my life right now its been so much fun!:) I am so blessed! our God is an awesome God because all he does!

This had to of been the fastest summer! I must say though, I have loved this summer so much.
At the beginning of the summer I went to Savannah and only a week or two after that I went
to PA to visit some great friends of mine. I was only home for a week till my family drove up to
Texas. When I got back I knew I had to make plans with my friends because I only had a month
left with them. I did the normal stuff with my friends (movies, shopping, games pool parties, etc).
I also got to do some other things that aren't so common. Like disney,beach trips, Kobes, parties and bowling.


The goodbye party I went to was sad because it's never easy to say goodbye to people you love but its
of course a part of growing up. Tonight we are having a Party for Ben my brother for his birthday so he is
able to have it with his close friends. It amazes me how much stuff is taking place right now in our lifes and
how fast we are growing. on the 29th my brother will be a teenager! Thats scary.

This weekend is going to be a hard weekend on my family. With all the changes that will take place. We know
that we will be ok and God will take care of us but it's never easy to face change. I know a lot of you are always
there for me and that means so much to me and I pray and hope that I am a friend that you know will be there
for if you ever needed anything. Within the next few months please keep intouch with me because I really will enjoy
have friends to talk with about anything.:)
