<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm sure you have heard me post on facebook or talk about Jamberry Nail wraps but I can't get enough of them. I absolutely love Jamberry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Background:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I first got into Jamberry Nail wraps in May. A college friend was always posting pictures of her cute nails and I thought they were just adorable but never thought much of it until one day she had a post online asking who wanted a free sample. Who doesn't love free stuff? I know I do! So she sent me a sample and I fell in love!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After I tried my sample, I asked Brittni if I could host a party for her and it was a ton of fun. The coolest part of hosting a party is getting to participate in the fun games but get the benefits of being a hostesss. When I hosted a party I was able to get the following things as hostess rewards:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 free sheets of wraps</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 items at 50% off</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 item at 25% off</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">PLUS 2 exclusive wraps that only hosts can get</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Becoming a consultant:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Why become a consultant? I'm so not a sales person. And I don't like pushy sales people but that's not the experience that I've had with any Jamberry consultants that I've interacted with. My friend Bailey hosted an online party the same that my sister did and I "attended" both of those and the consultant of Bailey's party put the seedling into my mind of joining Jamberry as a consultant because of how much I love the product. I thought a lot about it and did some research and decided to do it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's why: I absolutely love having my nails done. It just makes me feel pampered and pretty. But I don't like salon prices. You'll probably pay at least $20 for just a pedicure but with Jamberry you can pay the same amount and get 2 manis and 2 pedis. I call that a win. Plus the nail wraps last longer than a manicure, there's no drying time, and they don't smudge.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I also had been thinking about getting a 2nd job to help out with my bills and this opportunity allows me to do that at the same time setting my own hours. </span></span><br />

It's been a whirlwind since then with crazyness at work, unpacking and moving, and having family in town.<br />
<br />
I HATE moving. But I'm here now and won't be moving for a long, long time. I moved the majority of my stuff from Draper down to PG in my car and I had some amazing help from some awesome people to help move my furniture (aka things that wouldn't fit in my car). Thank you to Mike, Troy, and Nick. You guys rock!!<br />
<br />
A week after I officially moved in I went down to St George to see my parents new house there and then they came up and brought me my couches, washer and dryer, a few lamps, my piano, 2 end tables and a coffee table. My house looks like I live here now that I have living room furniture. I'm still working on finding roommates so if you know anyone that's looking let me know :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pictures :)<br />

So I made the decision that I would buy a house this year. In January I found out how much of a loan I can qualify for and was pretty happy about that. I thought it would take my months to figure everything out. Especially the horror stories I kept hearing about how frustrating it was to find the perfect place... but that was not the case for me....<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I went out and was looking at places with my Realtor. And we found it. The perfect place. Originally, I wanted to get an older, 3 bedroom house and I wasn't at all interested in a townhouse. My mind was completely changed when I looked at a few townhouses. I love the layout of a townhouse. The newer ones out there are so much nicer then older homes. And.... The first day that I went out and looked I found the perfect place.<br />
<br />
It's a 3 bedroom townhouse in Pleasant Grove that has 2.5 bathrooms and a 1 car garage. It's 1450 square feet. It's brand new and no one has ever lived in it before. I love it so much that I put in an offer and it was accepted. Last week, I went up to Salt Lake to sign my loan application and if everything goes according to plan I will be closing on it March 13th so in a little less then a month I will be moving (yes, again.). But this is the last time I will be moving for a long time. I'm so excited to have my own place and I'm so lucky. I'm getting a washer and dryer from my parents so I don't have to buy that and I'm buying a couch, love seat, 2 end tables, and a coffee table from my parents for really cheap. Oh, and did I mention that the townhouse comes with a brand new stove, dishwasher, and built in microwave? Enjoy the pictures.<br />

<br />
In 2013 I had a good year. Let's list some of the things that I did...<br />
<br />
January: I visited 4 different temples in 1 month (SLC, Mt Timp, Provo, Oquirrh Mt)<br />
February: I absolutely despise Valentines day but a good friend of mine Heart Attacked my desk at wok just because she wanted me to know that someone cares.<br />
March: Made a lovely spring wreath<br />
April: Stressed out a lot because of things that are outside of my control...<br />
May: Visited NYC for the first time<br />
June: Not a very exciting month....<br />
July: Went tubing on the Provo river for the 4th of July<br />
August: Moved into my first apartment by myself (no roommates)<br />
September: Made a color wall with paint samples in my apartment<br />
October: Started a new position at work<br />
November: Little brother came home from the mission<br />
December: Revisited my Childhood by going through stuff I had in storage including 2 time capsules. One of which tells me that I should be married by February 2014...I need to get on that.<br />
<br />
Over the last few months I decided that I wanted to make a major change. I made a huge life decision. I've decided that I'm going to buy my first home this year. That's a scary yet exciting thought at the same time. I'm done living in tiny, cramped apartments and paying rent into someone else's pocket. I finished filling out a quick qualifier application so I found out how much of a loan I can qualify for and I'm working with a Realtor so that I can start looking at houses in the next little while. eek. That's my big goal of the year. To buy a house.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-28661280568092546952014-01-19T15:09:00.000-07:002014-01-19T15:09:03.830-07:00Birthday!!I'm old. I turned 26 this year. That's a weird statement to make. Oh well. One of my brother's insists that I'm a menace to society because I'm over 25 and unmarried. I say: who cares?<br />
<br />
I had a good birthday overall. My awesome team took me out to lunch at Red Robin:<br />

I had a nice chat with Mom, Dad, and the best sister in law ever! (Love ya, Nicole) and went out to dinner with some of the best friends in the world. But because I'm a slacker... I didn't take any pictures at dinner. The older that I get the more I realize that birthdays aren't as big a deal as you get older.

That is really cool. No more weekends either. I don't really mind having to work either but it's been kinda nice the last few months not having to do either.<br />
<br />
I went to California for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The little brother got home fro his mission on Thanksgiving day. If you ask my mom, she will tell you it was the best and worst Thanksgiving she has ever had. Let me explain....originally Jimmy was supposed to get into LAX around 10 am. But because of mechanical problems with the plane he didn't get into LAX until after 2 pm and with an hour to go through Customs made for a very long day. By the time we got the message about the change in flight times we were already half way to the airport so it didn't make sense to turn around and go home. By the time we got home, it was after 8 pm. Latest Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had that's for sure.<br />

Christmas was good. Nice and warm 60 degree weather. It was a little weird not having any little kiddos around. Christmas just isn't the same without little ones. It made me miss my niece and nephew a whole lot. I spent a lot of time with my brothers and sister, went through all of the stuff stored at my parents house so thy don't have to move as much next summer, and it was nice to skype with the missionary brother on Christmas day. </div>

It was the last Christmas that I will spend in the place that I did most of my growing up. A little bittersweet. But I'm excited to have my parents a little closer so I won't have to go 6 months between visits. I'm planning on making one more trip to CA before they move for my sister's college graduation in June. </div>

I applied and interviewed for a promotion which I didn't get. Let's just say that I was more than a little heart broken but there was nothing to do about except pick myself back up and move forward. So that's what I did. I spent some time in tears and for a while it was difficult for me to interact with the people that got the job instead of me. One of the things that got me through that time is someone that I consider one of the best friends I've ever had. He's a great guy and is always there when/if I need someone to talk to.<br />
<br />
Eventually I came to the understanding and realization that the job I had interviewed for wasn't something I was up to. Yet. Maybe one day but right now is not that day. A few months down the road (in October) another opportunity was presented to me and I understood why the other job opportunity had exactly worked out for me. I didn't have an official interview per-say but I had several conversations with my manager and a few lead supervisors that were making a few decisions/changes on the third week of our training program (Nesting) for the department that I work in. Nesting wasn't being run or wasn't as effective as it needed to be and the powers that be wanted to but someone in charge that could "fix" things. The decision came down to me and another supervisor (one of my good friends).<br />
<br />
It came down my director telling my manager that I was the one that needed to be hired for the job because I'm good at "fixing" things. That's kinda cool. So I got a new position and a raise towards the end of last year. It's been awesome and I've loved getting to change things up and make things better for the new hires that come through our training program. At least I hope that I'm making a difference. I love my job and I hope that things keep improving this year.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-17807342172964228822014-01-19T14:26:00.000-07:002014-01-19T14:26:28.226-07:00Blog Hiatus Wow... Long time with no post. I should try to be better at this whole blogging thing so that my "avid" readers can stay updated on my oh so fascinating life. Just kidding. But really. I'm going to try and be better this year. I'll try to catch up my life from the last few months in a few posts. Maybe. We'll see.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-82086289043772411612013-09-01T16:14:00.001-06:002013-09-01T16:14:05.076-06:00The last few days have just been plain hard. No one ever likes those days but they happen in everyone's life. I've spent a lot of time in tears because things just haven't been going my way. Sometimes you just need a good cry. At one point I thought, "haven't I cried enough? How do I still have more tears?" But I'm doing better now. Thanks to some amazing people I have in my life. I don't think I could have gotten through the last few days without them.<br />
<br />
2 people in particular that I am lucky to call my friends have really been there for me and let me cry and there shoulders. What they've really reminded me of is simply this: sometimes crappy things happen to you but it's what you do with it and how you move on that makes the difference in your life.<br />
<br />
Today, in Church I really felt like every message and lesson that I heard was specifically planned and given for me. Funny how things usually work out that way,isn't it? Today in Relief Society this is what I heard: You are loved. No matter what is going on your life there is always someone who knows exactly how you feel. Period. End of Story. That is so true. I needed that huge reminder that our savior knows every feeling of hurt and sorrow that we have ever felt and we will never truly be alone.<br />
<br />
I have this friend. His name is Troy and I've known him for over a year now. Over the last 4 months he's become one of the best friends that I have ever had. He's the one that I want to talk to about anything and he's always there for me if I need anything. This week he's really been there for me and listened to me cry on the phone and complain about the difficulties that I'm having in my life. He's so great because he just listens to me and is great at giving words of comfort. Yesterday, he was up at my apartment in Draper after we went to a wedding and he gave me a priesthood blessing. I am extremely grateful for the blessings of the priesthood and that I have some amazing friends who are worthy to hold the priesthood. My life in general would be much different without the priesthood in my life and the last few days would have been much different with out the blessings of it.<br />
<br />
I am extremely grateful for the many blessings that I have in my life and the many blessings that are sure to come in my future. Just keep smiling (as a wise friend tells me often) and remember that you are loved.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-14300041304578823612013-08-19T10:46:00.001-06:002013-08-19T10:46:11.936-06:00The Finished ProductAnd I present my wall of color....<br />

I'm all moved out of the Provo apartment and into my place in Draper. I just have to pick up my vacuum and drop of my keys. Oh, and finish cleaning. Bleh. Oh well. I like it up here pretty good. I finally got my internet all set up yesterday so I spent pretty much ALL DAY waiting around for the guy to show up. Lame. Here are some pictures of the new place. I'm still working on finishing up my decorating project on the one wall but it's cozy and I like it:<br />

That's about it. It looks nicer in person than in the pics but I like it. I went to my new ward for the first me today. The people are so nice. I really think I'll like it. And it's in an actual meeting house. Not in a classroom on campus. The perks of growing up. Or something. Slightly awkward moment: Someone I fired a few months ago is in my ward. I thought it was going to be totally awkward but he came up to me after church and said hi. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But still. I thought I was getting out of that trap by leaving Provo. Oh well. Such is life. Enjoy the pics :)<br /><br />Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-14368785904743952712013-07-28T16:59:00.000-06:002013-07-28T16:59:26.469-06:00Retreat 2 posts in one day? What is the world coming to? Just kidding :)<br />
<br />
I wanted to share a really amazing experience that I had last week. A couple of times a year my managers do a retreat for all of the supervisors in our department. Where we usually have lots of food, spend the entire day out of the office doing something together. Well last week we had one of those days.<br />
<br />
We started out the day with breakfast from Einstein Bagels and some awesome words of wisdom from our fearless leaders. We attended a CLAS Ropes Course (click <a href="http://clasropes.com/" target="_blank">here</a> if you want to know more), had lunch at Joe Vera's, and did an awesome outdoor <a href="http://www.uvtag.com/" target="_blank">laser tag</a><br />
<br />
It was an awesome day and great to do something fun with the amazing people that I work with. But along with the fun times that were had by all I also learned a pretty awesome lesson: In life you can't do things alone. You have to rely on others to help you. Those of you that know me pretty well know that I am very independent and that I don't like to ask for help at all. But at the CLAS Ropes Course I had a very unique experience. They split us into 3 groups and my group had about 12 people including one of our managers. Our team building activity was that we had to cross the "Peanut Butter River" without touching the ground. We had raisins (aka stumps of wood) and celery (aka planks to put between the stumps) to help us get across.<br />
<br />
We weren't allowed to talk to each other until someone picked up a tennis ball at the half way point. We also weren't allowed to cross the half way point until everyone was off the ground either on a stump or plank. Oh and did I mention that if you fell in the "river" there were consequences? Of course I would be the one that fell. So my consequence was that I had to still make it across but with the added challenge of being blind folded. Yes that's right. It was one of the most difficult things that I've ever done. I couldn't do anything by myself and I had to heavily rely on everyone around me. Let's just say that I got very close to a few guys that I work with. It was an amazing experience for me and I don't think I would have gotten as much out of the whole thing if I hadn't been blind folded. People that I didn't know so well now I do, haha.<br />
<br />
I love my job and I love the people that I work with. Go big or go home, work hard & play hard. I also got this sweet t shirt that says "Vivint Customer Care" at the bottom and "Supervisor" on one of the sleeves. Love me some Vivint swag :)<br />
<br />
PS: I also just hit my 3 year anniversary at Vivint on Friday. 3 years? Has it really been that long? I guess so. Here's to 3 more awesome years :)Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-73004287563069608552013-07-28T16:46:00.001-06:002013-07-28T16:46:32.704-06:00Moving?n Again?It's been a while since the last post... almost a month.... my bad. Well, I'm moving (big shocker I know). I've had this kind of nomadic lifestyle the last few years and I just seem to move around a lot. I think mostly to get away from bad roommates that I've had. Oh well, hopefully after this move I won't be moving for a while. I'm moving out of Provo. Yep you heard me. I'm moving into a loft/studio apartment that is built over a garage up in Draper. I'm really excited yet scared at the same time. Weird I know. I'm excited to be starting a new phase in life and yet scare because I'm forcing myself out of the little bubble that is Provo. I know where everything is here and I know lots of people down here. My biggest challenge after actually finding the place was to buy bed. I found one on Saturday and it's being delivered this Friday. My lease at my current place is up on August 13th so sometime between now and then I'll be out of here. I've already moved a ton of my stuff into the new place I just can't start living there until I have something to sleep on. I think it's a good time to make this move though because sleeping on used beds is really starting to bug me. Not the greatest things for your back so I'm excited to have my very own place and my very own bed. Once I'm actually living there I will take pictures an post them.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-48296162785762278832013-07-11T09:43:00.002-06:002013-07-11T09:43:51.141-06:004th of July My holiday was a pretty chill one. I didn't have to work this year on the holiday (yay!). So I decided I wanted to do something fun with my time. I hadn't been tubing in FOREVER so I decided that's what I wanted to do. So I did. I went up Provo Canyon and floated the Provo River with my friend Jen. I lost my sunglasses in the process but it was so worth it. The water was kinda cold but it was good because it's been so warm recently.<br />

I had an awkward moment before I went to watch the fireworks though. I swear the most awkward people find me and try to make my life just as awkward and I get all awkwarded out. Could I use the word "awkward" more times in one sentence? Anyway, I was sitting out on my front lawn waiting to hear from someone about watching the fireworks when my neighbor comes out and starts having a chat with me (which is fine). I just felt super weird and awkward because I don't really know him and it was just weird.<br />
<br />
I got to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks show with my good friend Troy. Originally we were going to meet up at Provo High to watch them but then we ended up walking from there over to closer to the stadium. Love hanging out with him and I'm glad that he doesn't find me to be as crazy as I really am haha<br />

I'm excited to announce that I'll be going to Baja in October for 4 days to help build orphanages with the Kaiizen Foundation. I'm super excited for this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. This is where I need your help. I need to raise $360 before October so anything that you can donate to the cause will be extremely helpful. Even if all you can donate is a few dollars I would be extremely grateful. Below is the link to my site where you can donate:</div>

It was nice to take some time off from work and do something fun for me. Especially after the stressful few weeks I had with stuff at work and moving.<br />

<b><u>Monday</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I got into the city around 6:15 am (I took a red eye flight that left SLC at midnight). Let's just say that I was totally exhausted from lack of sleep and having worked both Saturday and Sunday. Not fun. I got lost getting from the airport to the hotel. I had no idea where I was and had to wait for Jacob and Nicole to come rescue me when they got into town. It was at that moment that I decided that I never want to travel alone again because I was so scared out of mind and I just wanted to break down and cry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because we couldn't check into our hotel until the afternoon we went straight into the city. We had some good ol' PB&J and then went to the American Museum of Natural History. I've always wanted to go there. Mostly because I've read books that take place there or around there (aka Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief). </div>

<b><u>Tuesday</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was one of my favorite days. We went to Times Square and took in the sights. We went to Rockefeller Plaza and went to the top of the rock observation deck. So cool to see all of the sight from so high up!! We also went to Grand Central Station (so gorgeous!), the M&M Store and Hershey Store. We had dinner at John's Pizzeria. The pizza was amazing but the service was seriously lacking. Probably because we weren't drinking. </div>

<b><u>Thursday</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another one of my favorite days, we took a ferry out and so the Statute of Liberty and went under the Brooklyn Bridge. Ellis Island was closed due to flooding from Hurricane Sandy so we weren't able to go there. But it was really cool to hear about some of the history that goes along with that part of the country. I got to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, how cool is that? And again we had some AWESOME pizza. Grimaldi's (right under the Brooklyn Bridge) was much better than John's Pizzeria. Service was about the same though. </div>

<b><u>Saturday</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, all good things must come to an end. I took a bus into the city (by myself!). That was a little scary. Jacob and Nicole started their drive home. I went to the Manhattan Temple (so cool!!) before heading to the airport. The city is so loud and busy but the minute you step inside the temple everything is super quite. It's kinda of amazing. I almost got lost in the subway. But a nice man gave me directions because I looked slightly lost. But I made it to the airport without dying so I'm counting that as a win. </div>

It was an awesome experience and it's something that I will always have fond memories of. I'm so glad that I was able to take that kind of trip with some of the people that I am closest to and that mean the most to me. It was good to do something for me and get away. Coming back to Utah, I was so stoked to get back to work and normal life. It kinda of was my kick start to my new philosophy: do something for yourself each and every day even if it's something small. </div>

It seemed that if something could go wrong it would. To use the terminology of a friend of mine: I got shot in both knees and the shoulder all at once.<br />
<br />
I had to fire 2 people (both in one day), put 4 people on warnings, my second in command got a promotion (go him!), and the guy I wanted as his replacement I couldn't hire. Oh, did I mention that I'm being forced to move out of my apartment too? And the time frame that I was originally given to move? The week that I'm in New York. Could things get any worse?<br />
<br />
So not only did I have to do my regular job but I also had to do a bunch of interviews and start packing up my apartment. Great....<br />
<br />
And to top it all off, I started crying 2 different times at work this week. Being a girl stinks sometimes. I was in a meeting with my boss on Thursday and then on Friday was having a talk with my lead supervisor. I guess the emotional/stressful week just took it's toll on me.<br />
<br />
During my meeting with my boss we didn't talk about work or my performance in my job. He had no feedback for me because he said I know how to do my job better than every other supervisor he has. That's good, I guess, but sometimes it's nice to hear about something you can do better at. He asked me some hard questions that I didn't know how to answer.<br />
<br />
"What do you want out of life?"<br />
"What's your 5 year plan?"<br />
"What makes you happy?"<br />
"What would you do if your job here disappeared?"<br />
<br />
I don't know why these questions had such an impact on me but they did. I didn't have an answer to give him and that made me feel horrible and started crying like a little girl. I don't do that ever, let alone at work.<br />
<br />
On Friday on the way home from work I still didn't have an answer to those questions and I seem to be questioning every move I make. So yet again, I started crying. My weekend assignment: think about what I want out of life and the near future and read a book called "Drive" by Daniel Pink.<br />
<br />
I don't know if I've found what I want out of life but this is what's helped me be a little more calm and not so emotional:<br />

The temple is an amazing place. Today I was able to go to the Draper temple for the first time. The temple is beautiful and has such a calming serenity about it. I have been able to put things in a better perspective than it was even a few hours ago. I shed a few tears while there but they weren't tears of confusion but tears of knowing that someone has a plan for my life even if I'm not sure what it is. I'm going to continue to do some soul searching to figure out what I want out of life and what I want to look forward to so we'll see where that takes me.Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-5855987836745143322013-04-13T15:38:00.001-06:002013-04-13T15:38:26.559-06:00New Layout!!I've had the same layout on my blog forever!!!

I couldn't imagine a more beautiful Easter Sunday afternoon. It's been a beautiful day to reflect on the many blessings that I have. Today I had the opportunity to sing with my ward choir. We sang a song that before a few weeks ago I had never heard before. It's found in the Hymnal on page 198 "That Easter Morn". It has a beautiful message and it really made me thing of the reason behind we really celebrate Easter every year. Check it out <a href="http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/that-easter-morn?lang=eng" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<br />
Every year as I get older it seems that I get more and more excited to hear the words of modern day prophets and apostles when conference comes around twice a year. I am so excited for he upcoming conference next weekend. Downside? I have to work next Sunday so I'll have to catch up on Sunday's sessions during the week. Originally I had to work Saturday too but someone needed a trade for this last Saturday so I am lucky enough to not have to work both days of conference.<br />
<br />
Something that I have been thinking about alot lately is Standing in Holy Places. That is this year's YM/YW theme and it's the topic that my Bishop taught on today during the third hour of church. I did a lot of thinking and standing in a holy place doesn't necessarily have to be a place. Weird I know but it's true. The more I think about standing in holy places it seems to be it's the things I'm doing with my life and the people that I choose to have in my life. Last year when I was preparing to go to the temple for the first time I realized that I had some friends that weren't the best influences in my life. They are good guys but not the kind of people I should choose to spend my time with. I stopped hanging out with them as much and I noticed a huge change in my life. The spirit was much stronger in my life and there wasn't as much negativity. I love those guys and I know I count on them if I ever need anything but it's such a testimony to me after going through that experience that I know that the people you have in your life truly can have a huge impact on the choices and decisions you make in your life and that's one of the reasons why I choose to stop being around them. I needed to do it for me. Because I needed something more and something better in my life.<br />
<br />
This video perfectly depicts how I feel this Easter Sunday and the things that we should really celebrate. I know my Father lives and I know that it was a sacrifice what Jesus did for every person on this Earth. If you ever feel that no one understands what you have gone through or are going through. our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been there and understands what you are going through. That is the whole purpose of the Atonement. We could never individually be perfect. That's why we have a Savior that was there to take the pain and suffering in our behalf.<br />

He told me that I just needed to calm down and take things in stride. He then proceeded to shoot some baskets into a basketball hoop that we have hanging around for our March Madness Competition. He made 3 different baskets and before shooting each one made a statement that if he made the next shot then something would happen:<br />
<br />
Basket #1: If I make this shot then we'll meet our performance goal this month - He made this shot<br />
Basket #2: If I makes this shot then you (meaning me) will start my own department at work and become the manager of said department - He made this shot too<br />
Basket #3: If I makes this shot then you (again meaning me) will be married in the next 12 months - you guess it, he made this shot to<br />
<br />
So apparently I'm going to open my own department and get married this year. I thought it was kinda funny so I thought I'd share. Also, since I'm getting married I told Jordan (my boss) that he needed to find me a man to marry. He then proceeded to give me the names of 2 different people to email at work. Oh geez. Jordan's got marriage on the brain or something. Haha.

I just decided that I'm taking a pre-summer vacation. April 29th-May 4th I will be in New York City with my brother Jacob and my sister in law Nicole. I've never been to NYC before and I'm so excited for all the awesome things we're going to do and see while there. Not a lot of planning has been done yet but I'm stoked to plan our trip. Best part: I found plane tickets round trip for under $400. Win? I think so. This was all made possible by an awesome boss he gave me some time off. Yes!Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-79206534657504739232013-03-17T21:18:00.001-06:002013-03-17T21:18:11.459-06:00Happy SpringIt's been a while since I had a craft day so a few weeks ago I decided it was time. I didn't have a wreath for spring time and I made one on the hopes that the weather would warm up. As it happens, it's been beautiful the last few weeks and I have been loving it!! It was warm enough (40-50 degrees) that I wore shorts or a skirt every day last week to work. I know, I know, 40 degree weather isn't what you traditionally think of as warm but when you've had a winter that's been mostly in the negatives your definition of warm changes.<br />

And no, it's not because I'm single. I have a legitimate reason why I don't like the "holiday". I think it's stupid that how much you love someone is measured by what you do for them on February 14th. In reality, if you really love someone you should show them that every day (not through gifts and cards and candy) but by how you treat them on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
Well, I had kind of an interesting day. I started out the day by wanting to gag from all of the Valentine's day stuff I saw on my Instagram and Facebook feeds. Ick. Then I get the following text message from a cute boy: "Happy Valentine's Day. :-)" It kinda made my day.<br />
<br />
Then when I got to work this is what I found:<br />

Someone heart attacked my desk and I have no idea who. I really what to know who it was. I thought it was this one kid because he knows I hate Valentine's day but he told me it was like that when he got into work. I'll probably never know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something else I got on Valentine's day was my Christmas present. My mom made a quilt but it wasn't finished at Christmas so she finished it up in January and sent to be with someone that was going into the MTC. I also didn't get it because they called me on the day they were leaving while I was at work. Luckily, I just gave them my address and they dropped the box off at my apartment because they couldn't come to work to give it to me. I love it!! It's so pretty. The picture doesn't do it justice at all. </div>

Over the last month I've seen several people that I work with have interviews for said position. I was starting to think that my application got "lost" even though I applied online or that I'd been forgotten. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">And then this morning I got the following generic email form a recruiter:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">"Briana Winegardner:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Thank you for your time and interest in the Customer Care Lead Supervisor position with Vivint. We appreciate the time you have taken to present your qualifications to us. We have received a large number of inquiries (resumes, applications) from highly qualified candidates for this role. At this time we have decided to pursue other candidates for this opening.<br />We will keep your information on file and it may be evaluated with respect to other positions that become available in the future. We encourage you to keep us in mind when considering future opportunities. We invite you to visit our website periodically to review new positions as they become available and update your profile as needed. Again, thank you for your interest and we wish you the best for your employment search and continued success." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">When I first saw it I was so mad. I didn't think it was fair that after all the hard work that I've put in recently and all for nothing. After reading it this morning, I just tried putting it out of my mind and ignoring it. But it kinda hurt that I wasn't even given the chance to interview when I knew for a fact that 4 other people I work with have gotten interviews. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Something happened at work today that completely changed my mentality and my attitude. Part way through my shift today, my manager comes up to me and says he wanted to talk me for a minute. We talked a little bit about why I wasn't chosen. He wanted to talk to me before I got that email but that didn't happen. He gave me some really amazing compliments that made this whole thing a really amazing experience. My boss told me that during an interview he had with someone else that they said they wished there were 10 Briana's that worked there because so much would get done. I was a little speechless because I didn't know what to say. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Something that I found so awesome that I can't put it into words is something that my boss said to me: I didn't choose to interview you because you aren't there. Yet. I know you are a great leader and you just need some more time and experience before I think you are ready for this kind of position. Over the last year, 6 months, 3 months and even over the last month I've seen such a change in your abilities and you surprise me constantly at how much you are improving and becoming such a good part of the leadership team. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">This was simply amazing to me. I don't think I could have received a bigger compliment that what he gave me. I really love my job and the position that I'm in. So I'm totally fine with staying where I'm at. Doing this other job would have been cool but I'm fine with staying where I'm at for now. He recommended that I do everything that I can to learn from Jordan (he's the lead supervisor over me right now) to try and make myself into a better leader in order to make myself a better leader and ready for a higher position in the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">One other thing that I though was really interesting: My boss told me that he thinks that I left the old, emotional me at our old building and at our new location I don't ask him to fix problems for me but come to him with solutions and ways to fix things. Pretty cool huh? It was a very draining day: both emotionally and physically but it was a good day overall. Hopefully, I can stay on this track and keeping on improving. </span>Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600792182810075823.post-77562771387612354182013-02-10T15:39:00.000-07:002013-02-10T15:39:00.319-07:00BlessingsToday it was confirmed to me ow wonderful it is to be a member of the restored church in the latter days. I'm a very firm believer in modern day revelation.<br />
<br />
Today I got set apart for a new calling at church and was a little surprised by something my bishop said. He expressed not only some blessings for my calling but in my personal and professional life. It was really very comforting and time and time again the amazing blessings of the priesthood :)Brianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021425916346118323noreply@blogger.com1
