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.

Have I done any good in the world today?

Ever since I started working I have become a bit selfish. I asked myself if I had done anygood in the world today, and at first I didn't think I had. I haven't done any acts of service for my fellowman since last Christmas. Have I lost a bit of myself? What happend to Rossana who was always there to lend a hand for others? I need to give more. But wait... I think I have done a lot of good in the world and I think I'm doing it everyday. Yesterday I attended one of those seminars where they motivate you to be more positive. I was amazed to find out I have some great qualities, like not yelling at my kids, and a great relationship with my dear husband... and also have a great family unit. So, if I was to answer that question again, i will have to say yes.. the fact that I'm what I'm makes me a contributor in making this world a better place to live... Have I done any good in the world today... Heck yeah!

Kallie's "pretend" Birthday party...

Kallie cakes eating her yummy "Birthday" cake She had to feed Doodle bear because he was to tired to feed himself.

Kallie and Little Mermaid are best friends!

She said that little Mermaid fin was broken so she had to help her too.

After she feed her friends, she smiled for the camera.

Here are the guest at the table. Fun Party!

My Kalliecakes wanted to have a birthday party today. She has been to MANY birthday parties lately and thinks its unfair she doesn't have one of her own NOW! We tell her her birthday is not till August but poor baby girl, doesn't understand and really, doesn't want to wait till August. Sisiter Erica made Kallie a birthday cake, and we invited, Ariel, the little mermaid, doddle bear and Kallies baby to attend the party. We played games, fed the guests and had a ball. Here are some pictures of her "pretend" birthday party.

Brett's turns 49

My dear husband turns 49 today, his mom came over and gave him a gift and she also made him a birthday cake. My honey did not want a big party this year, all he wanted was to spended with us and go out to eat at a restaurant. Today we wanted to take the kids to eat at the Olive Garden but forgot Jake and Alex had finals at their night school, but our wonderful son Shawn took daddy and I to Brett's favorite Chinese buffet. We will do Olive Garden as a family on Friday, when our whole family can go.
This week I took the responsability of planning my family reunion. It's going to be a huge task due to the size of my family, but the cousins look forward to getting together again. I have send a poll to the family members to get ideas regarding date and place. Jake just got home and he got A's on his finals!!! Way to go Jake!!! Alex also passed and we are very happy for him too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!
