Sick of being Sick

I love Halloween... I know it's not the best holiday around but I just love it. I guess because my mom always made it so fun. This year I was to sick to even dress up... Last year was so much fun though. Tracie and I were able to fly home for Halloween. It was such a blast! This year Tracie came to my school to help me teach a lesson on Friday and brought Lola in her frog costume. SO CUTE! ... I also got a little puppy on Halloween! We named her Willow. I will get some pictures of her up soon. She's staying with Tracie right now since Derek and I are sick and since I'm never home... she probably should be Tracie's puppy - but for now I'm going to call her mine :)

Snowing

Well - it's snowing... I don't know how I feel about that.
I have been looking forward to fall but then with snow - it just feels like fall is over and winter is HERE.. I'm NOT ready for Winter...
I wish we could move somewhere warmer.

Things are going well in the Jensen household. We are in the process of switching our bedroom to the back bedroom and turning our old bedroom into my office/guest bedroom. The problem is with me working 2 jobs the only time I have to work on it is Sunday... so not ideal - but I don't really have a choice...

I'm hoping that by the beginning of next year I'll know if I'm going to have a job or not. I hate being an intern - but I know it's all part of the process. I just wish this part was over.

Derek seems to be doing well. Although I don't understand everything of what he tells me I know that he is doing a lot of good things and hopefully they will decide to hire him on full time come January.

Man - it's crazy how fast this year has gone by....I can't believe it's almost November and then Christmas shortly after that and then New Years and then BOOM - another year...

This getting old thing is not working out for me....

October 15, 2009

Hello all - things are looking up in the Jensen household. As some of you know Derek finally got a job - after 9 months of being unemployed he is currently working for AMEX and is doing some good things there!
I am still doing my internship as a counselor in a middle school in the newly created Canyons District. Very excited - a little stressed out - but only because I'm still working at the bank and doing the internship and going to class - so a VERY full schedule.
More to come later - a student just walked in....

BRIDALS - I did her hair and make-up

Wedding day - I did her makeup

My baby sister got married back in April. I will try and post more pictures. It was a GREAT time. My other two sisters flew in from Georgia and stayed with us. I really enjoyed having them here.

I was the "wedding planner" for Brina's wedding and REALLY enjoyed it. My dad said I found a new calling in life... me, I'm not so sure. I did enjoy it, but it was really stressful. I don't know though - perhaps when I'm not trying to do so many different things at once I will look into doing that on a part time basis.

Hard Times

I haven't written because I really can't think of anything to say. As of late I have been extremely stressed out. Derek is still out of work, I'm not sure day-to-day if I will have a job and $$ is running out. OK - maybe getting it off my chest will help!? I sure hope so! I know I have not been a "joy" to live with lately. I stress a lot as it is, but with added stress - I just seem to fall off the wagon - go off the deep end... whatever....
I just want to ask for your prayers. Please pray that Derek will find a job soon.
Thanks all!

Hello Family

Hello Family,
I decided to keep a blog rather than send out our yearly or quarterly email updates.
I don't have much to say at the moment, but keep this bookmarked and I'll try to post updates as often as I can.

Love,
Holly
