I dont feel as unique as I thought I was:

There are 63,356 Girls in the United States with my FIRST name.

There are 25 Girls in the U.S. with my FULL MAIDEN name.

And 20 Girls in the U.S. with my FULL MARRIED name!!

We were bored, so we wrote a story for you

Morena: Once atop an hour, there was a boy of about ten years old, (we'll call him Tom) and while he was walking through a pond in the middle of a luscious forest, he suddenly heard a sound from behind him.

Mr. Locher: And he turned around, but he never saw anyone so he started to walk faster

Morena: ...he spashed through the shallow pond as he began to jog. The sound behind him was following quickly. He looked over his shoulder and could still see NOTHING!!! What was following him? The air itself seemed to be creating the dull, yet deep moan that was penetrating him to the core. Tom was scared. He felt like a tough little kid, he didnt think anything could scare him. Just this morning he had killed a HUGE probably-poisonous spider in his Uncles barn while milking cows. He even ran around with its dead body mangled and hanging limply from the stick he had stabbed it with.

It had been chilly the past week and finally today the sun was out and warming the fields and forest near the farm. He was so pleased with the weather that he decided to take a walk in the forest. The walk that might get him killed. He reached the other side of the pond and ran back into the density of the brush. Maybe he could lose what ever was
following him if he took many confusing turns....

Mr. Locher: he decided to go back where he first heard the sound, being an idiot and tired he decided to rest for a bit. Well while waiting and catching his breath, the Loch Ness Monster came and ended his life. He will be sadly missed.

Morena: "Hey!!! I liked him! Why did you have to kill him! Didnt you mean to write the Locher Ness Monster?"

Mr. Locher: so u caught the loch ness part hehe sorry its not my fault he decided to rest!

I am certainly surprised that anyone still checks this blog, but I am very happy that you do!!!

I got myself a raise last Friday; here is my story:
I work at UFCU and I love it. Mr.McGee came to my work after he was off work and told me that his employer was hiring a new receptionist. I would be paid a dollar more and I would be working in an awesome place, with many very nice people, including my sweet husband! I went over there and talked to everyone (many other friends work there too) and they all wanted me. The girl who was hiring offered me an interview that same day. There were SO many reasons why I wanted to leave here and go work just down the street....

...yet, I love my job here. I thought about it for many days and I finally told my manager about the opportunity I had been offered. I told him I would give my final decision the next day. That evening was rough as I tried to decide. I even wrote out a PROS and CONS list for both.
The next morning my manager called me into his office and told me how much he appreciates me and all my efforts. He said many very nice things. The best of which was that he would offer me a buck-fifty raise if I stayed. So I took the generous offer and I do not regret it.

The major draw that the other job had was the money anyways. Since I love what I am doing, and love the new pay, why go anywhere else now? My employers have been so good to us. I work less than a mile from home and I get all the silly holidays off!
I am so blessed!

I hope you are all having good luck with your jobs! I love you all!

Hello All!
Its been a very long time since I have talked to many of you and I miss you so very much.
I am doing wonderful. Married life is going smoothly. We loved conference and cant wait for next months Ensign to come out. The two of us went camping during Christophers spring break. We went out to the desert since it was snowing in the mountains. We had a great time and built a huge bonfire in the middle of the dugway valley!

I bought two dozen eggs and CM and I colored them for FHE last week. For Easter dinner we went to the Terrys. J and S and my sweet niece were all there. S is pregnant and its been fun now that she is feeling well. We had our annual Easter egg hunt. Even though we are all either old or too young, we still have loads of fun doing it.

My sister W and S just got back from New York where they have been for four months doing an internship. The whole family now has 'I love NY' shirts. They went to so many museums that they dont want to see one ever again :D

Work has been great at UFCU. No complaints at all. I will likely stay working here as long as I can, which could be at most four years. CM and I share a cute green Honda Civic. I bought it with my own money that I saved up before we got married! We are however looking for a second car, but we wont be needing it till the end of summer.

CM has only two weeks left till the semester is over!!! I am more excited than he, because he chose a schedule that kept him at school three nights a week and that was no fun. I would only get to see him for a few minutes on Tues,Wed and Thurs. During summer he is going to just take one class in the morning and work full time as a Physical Therapy Aid.
Well I had better go clock in and get back to work. Love you all!!!
