Valentine's Day...Love is in the air

I had a trip planned for V Day. Brett and I will be married 25 years on that wonderful day. Due to my new job training schedule, I can't go on that trip. I look forward to celebrate in a future date with my husband. So go ahead, ask me how did I manage to keep a happy marriage for so long? If you really want to know my secret, here it is:
Communication - I know how to talk to Brett and he knows how to talk to me.
Admiration - He spoils me rotten, he treats me like his queen and tells me he loves everything about me, he hold me and kisses me everyday, we are crazy about each other.
Attraction - Loving ourselves first, alows us to love each other even more. I know when I gain weight I feel very insecure (I gained 8 lbs after Christmas). I guess we are meant to grow old in style. I'm happy for evey single surgery there is to make people look young and I'm not to far off from having my first face lift, and neither is Brett, hahaha.
Commitment - To the relationship, we are commited to stay together no matter what's trown our way.
Fun - That is self describable, FUN with the family and as a couple in everything you do.

Brett and I don't have much in common, he likes rock music I like pop, he plays different instruments, I play none, he likes foods I hate, I like dancing he really doesn't, he loves watching movies, I'm not to crazy about it, but I support his likes and he supports mine. What we do have in common is our religious beliefs, our moral up-bringing and shopping, Brett and I love to shop, I don't know how many guys enjoy shopping with their wives, but mine does, he likes me to "model" for him and try on new clothes and shop for bargains... we are huge bargain shoppers. We don't buy much that's not on sale. Another thing we do is pray, we pray for everything we love and we give thanks. Lately, our family has not been praying together and writing this down reminds me to do something about about it.
Trials - Brett and I have had our share of trials, we've been hit hard in 25 years... We lost a child together, we had ups and down with our relationship and children, he's had some terrible health issues, we are far from perfection. Every trial we've had has been a learning experience for us, and we have grown from it. I can honestly say I'm thanksful for my trials.. regarding my son that past away, I'm thankful for the three months he was here with us, and wouldn't trade those three months for anything in the world, even if I had to do it again. I hold on to the moment I get to see him once again. I'm indeed thankful for my trials.

Training..

I started training at Blue Cross of Idaho. Customer service is quite the challenge but I'm enjoying learning. I have an awesome trainer named Rebekka, and she makes it easy for me to learn. I took my first review test today and scored 95%... Yippee for me!!! I hope and pray to keep doing good. Yesterday I went by my old office, saw all the people I worked with and...Oh how much I miss them!! I had gotten so used to them, and the are all terrific people in and outside of work. Everytime I see one of them walking in the hall, I get so happy.
Anyway I have lots of training left to do and I'm looking forward to learning new things.

My last day with the Direct Sales Team... Blue Cross 2008

I went to work on Thursday kinda sad. It was the last day I worked with the Direct sales team and they have no idea how much I will miss them. Crystal asked me when I was going to lunch, I told her whenever, since I had no desire to eat at the cafeteria. We have become very close in this team. I have the best manager I've ever had in my life, and he managed our team very well.

Before coming back to the work force I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was afraid I lacked knowledge and worry about who will hire me, that is the reason why I became a "temp" with Volt.

I truly believe my Heavenly Father listen to my prayers when I became a Temp for the Direct Sales Team. My first experience back at work in eight years was an amazing one. It was so amazing I decided I loved working for Blue Cross and want to stay there.

On my last day at work, I was surprised by my co-workers with this amazing farewell party. They bought lots of food, Delinda made a cake, I received a very touching card that made me cry when I read it. Delinda gave me a beautiful bracelet... it meant a lot to me. Crystal, gave me candles, which I love. My boss, made me feel very special on that last day, he even had a count down to how many hours and minutes left that day.

My team has made my work here at Blue Cross an experience I will never, ever, forget. Thanks team... You all have a place in my heart.

Now I'm off to work with another team, the Customer Service Team, I can only hope and pray to be half as happy as I was with my Direct Sales team.
THANK YOU TEAM!!

Hanna Montana

I had Friday off from work, and Brett and I went out all day with our little angel Kallie. We took her to see Hannah Montana at the Edwards Cinemas. I wasn't prepared to pay $15.00 per ticket, but we did. Kallie was so excited, but was only able to stay up for half the show, the other half she slept and Brett and I watched the show. After the show was over we went Target and then to eat at a nice restaurant. Today, Sunday we have fresh snow in the ground and Kallie and brothers Jake and Alex have been outside playing in the snow. Kallie build her first ever snowman by herself... it's tiny snowman, but the fact that she made him without help it's amazing.
Saturday we spent at home and today I've been cooking all day because it's Superbowl Sunday. Anyway, I start working at a new department at BC tomorrow.
