Broken car!

So, for the last while Tim has been using his Grandpa's car to drive to work and back.  Last week it started acting weird like the transmission was going out.  We thought maybe it was just a fuel filter and that the transmission fluid needed to be changed.  Tim took it over to my dad where they worked on that and fixed that but yet the car still wasn't acting right!  So Tim took it in to Tanner Transmissions, where they determined that it definitely needed a new transmission.  So we spent about $120 on changing all the oils and everything so that we could now just let the car sit. 

A new transmission is just not something we can afford right now, and weren't really planning on spending that money. So my poor husband has to ride UTA now.  I feel bad b/c this takes a lot of time out of time that he could be using to study where he waits for the bus.  I guess the plus side to it is that once he is on the bus he can study.   Another sad thing is how he has to stand out in the cold forever waiting and waiting! 

I feel like I am being selfish since I always get the car.  Maybe I should be the one riding the bus. It is just that he gets a pass much cheaper than I could ever get one since he is still in school.  So end of Story. Timmy gets to ride the bus, freeze, and wait for long periods of time,  while I get to drive in my nice warm car.

Turns out though we might be getting the Scooter from his parents house to borrow until Brendon his brother gets home from his mission.  That would be nice, still postives and negatives with that ... the positives being no more waiting in the cold forever, get places faster.  But sadly he is still going to freeze... I am going to have to bundle him up like the little boy in the "Christmas Story"

Growing my hair out!

So I am really wanting my hair to grow out again.  I am missing my long hair i used to have.  I feel like this past couple months my hair has just stopped growing.  So I am going to start taking vitamins, massaging my head each night, and wearing it in pig tails so that it will have a constant pull on it.  Hoping that this will do the trick and it will start growing.

I did enjoy having short hair though, it was fun, but it is time for the long hair to come back.  Grow hair grow! 

Heavenly Father knows us.

Well... I don't know the answer yet to why I am sad, confused, and upset, but hope that answer will come soon.  I recently applied again for the Product Support Specialist at Nuskin where I currently work.  I had an interview on last Friday in which I felt good about.  This afternoon when I arrived to work I recieved that blasted email again, except luckily this time they actually inserted my name in.  I didn't get the position.  I am feeling so many emotions right now.  I don't know what is in store for me, I do know that my Heavenly Father loves me and he knows what is best for me. 

After I found this out, I called Dan Seder my boss from Lindon City, letting him know that I would infact be back this summer to coach the swim team.  I am actually very excited for this and am happy that I didn't have to give that up.  I guess I am supposed to be a pool girl for the rest of my life! ha

This past few weeks Tim and I have been working on getting Health Insurance.  I was hoping if I got the postion we woudn't have to worry about that because the position was full time with benefits.  Health Insurance has been on our mind for the past year or so, but it is finally time to stop procratinating and actually get it. We are now just waiting on our applications with Select Health and Blue Cross. 

Last Summer when I was coaching I had made it a goal to finish these binders that would include, drills, workouts, and helpful hints and notes for coaches.  I still have not yet finished them..I actually kind of forgot about them until  this past week when I wasn't sure if I would be coaching or not.  Well now that I know for sure that I will again be coaching this summer, I have something to work on.  I just need to set a finish date so that I will actually get it done in time for the season to start this summer.
