Jordan & Chelsey.....The Thomas Family

As I type this post it has yet to have a title and maybe it will remain that way. I promise that I will post of all the holiday fun, and Jordan's b-day pictures once I have time to sort through them.
I have been feeling a little overwhelmed at the end of the holiday season from the whirlwind of motion and good cheer. Sometimes it's hard to settle back into "real life" and realize that fun/chaos won't be back for another year. Since it is now January both myslef and Jordan aren't as busy with work as we have been, so the financial crisis loops through my mind constantly of how are we ever going to make it through! On Friday I was so excited to hear that I had a interview at a bank. I kept telling myself that I shouldn't get my hopes up and to just go in with an open mind and everything will be ok. I am so grateful that I kept that in my mind. I believe it was Heavenly Fathers way of not letting something bring me down. The interview didn't go as well as I had hoped it would but I gained more interview experience and that is what I feel this was meant for. Experience and nothing else. So even though I probably won't be hearing back from them, I'm ok with it.
Fast forward to today, Wednesday, when I had to be to work at 6AM. (Even though we all go through the I don't want to go to work, once I got there I was happy to be there and not just sitting at home eating all my Christmas treats.) When I got there some members of my team asked how the interview went and I told them not well. They were so sweet and supportive that it totally made my day! I love my Old Navy team! They are really the best people to work with and I get along with them so well, I couldn't have found a better job to get myself settled into Ogden. So thank you girls for all of your help you have supplied to me! While at work my manager told me Congratulations on being the November Employee of the Month. I was in shock! I had really tried to make sure I was doing my part but didn't expect that. I know it might not be a big deal but today it meant something to me.
All in all I feel that today was a humbling day. It was just what I needed to help me not worry about money. I am still standing strong on putting my faith in the Lord and he will help me through. Each month that grows stronger to me. I am also very grateful that I get to participate in baptisms for the dead tomorrow with my cousin Brendan. He is such a great example to me that at turning 12 this is what he wants to do! I'm so excited to be able to share this moment with him and my family. Plus I am super excited to go to the temple! With all the holiday rush it has been really hard to find the time to go. Even though I have to drive to Provo, I haven't been there since I did my endowment session in March of last year and I'm really excited to go back! This visit is just what I need so thank you Brendan!
