The past 6 Months

SOOO much has happened in the past 6 months. 


1. Elder Coleman got called to the BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA mission!
We had a lot of fun before he left, WE ATE SOOOO MUCH! and I gained sooo much weight! But it was worth it! he left on June 15th 2011! We had a breakfast with his family on the deck that morning! At that moment we were truly just friends. He had already been set apart therefore he was OFF LIMITS! I road along with them to the MTC, it was like the most horrific roller-coaster ride I had ever been on I couldn't believe it was happening and I did not know how to take it, we pulled up to the MTC and we all got out of the car and he hugged down the line of his family and got to me I held out my hand and shook his hand and said. "I love you Dane" "I love you too Dani" he said as he let go and turned around to begin his journey: The best 2 years for his life.
I had the opportunity to talk with him on Christmas with his family, he is doing great! Dane is still as funny as ever he made me laugh til i cried. His spirit is strong and its growing, he gets along with his companions well enough, and is doing the lords work willingly. he is happy and i wouldn't want him any place else on earth :)


2. I got a job at an Orthodontist office. 
The night Dane got set apart I got a text asking if i was interested in working at  an Orthodontic office, I was so excited and I didn't even have the job yet, but i had been praying and looking for a place to at least interview at, it was like heavenly father just placed this opportunity in my lap. I made an effort to get an interview, I didn't have experience; (I did have experience in genral dentistry, if an internship counted. or the small chapter of ortho we learned in school) I had determination. I went in & put on my charm. finally they  asked if I had experience, I replied with " No, but that means you can mold be just the way you want" I think they liked that, I got called back for a working interview it was nerve wrecking but enjoyable. I was told I would be called if i got the job. I knew there were other more experienced people that were interviewing for the job, and i had little faith that id get it. but then i got a call and i'm pretty sure i was jumping up and down when she told me. It was an answer to all my prayers. Finally something i could do that i actually enjoyed. Not to mention, it got me off the couch and away from Facebook. I lovvvveeee working there. It makes me happy!!!


3. I began to LOVE singles ward.
I don't know what it was but before i HATED singles ward i thought it was the worst thing ever invented! but then The ward got split and  Kyle Podzikowski Started talking with me and sitting next to me at church and it was nice to have a friend at church!  Tom Walsh was my "FHE Dad" and he got me going to FHE every week, he would make sure i was there! Kyle always encouraged me to go to Ward prayer and tunnel singing, since i was more involved i began to come out of my shell! I realized it wasnt singles ward that sucked, it was my attitude, the second i fixed it I loved my ward. I met Tasha Borget at our SUPER lame (at least it looked lame it was way fun!!) ward dance, and we crazy danced and have been friends ever since, she is like my  counselor in everything! i always ask her for advice! she is the only friend i cant talk to on the phone for hours and not even realize its been that long!
Now im obsessed with YSA 25 WARD!!! LOVE IT!!


Over all The past 6 months have been a roller coaster  ups and downs but mostly ups! i'm so thankful for all my friends and the joy they bring into my life! I'm living my life, dating, and CingTR! :)
