got the job!

Well i got the job at fetzers :) i will be starting on the 29th of this month. I am very excited! I dont know really what i am going to do with myself! being able to just clock in and out and not really have to worry about anything is going to be new for me! I can already feel the stress lifting off of my shoulders!! wish me luck with it!

Job Interview

Well I had a Job interview today at Fetzers Architectural Woodwork. I think it went good, but will find out next week.

The HR lady there who interviewed me said the only problem they had was me not being able to start until the first of July.. So I am guessing that's a good sign I have a job with them!

I also had very good letters of recomendations from people that actually work high up in Fetzers so I am pretty sure I will hear some good news next week (fingers crossed).

I don't know exactly what job I will be getting yet. I know project manager is a possiblity! also, drafting, traveling for installs, ect. I can pretty much do any job there, so who knows where they will put me when they hire me.

I really hope this works out for me! They have great pay, great benifits, they will even pay for college if they want me to take a higher up position!

What more could I ask for... Well maybe having it closer would be nice, since its 45 minute drive from my house.

but!

Wish me Luck!

ugh job hunting...

need i say more...

truck :)

i have had my truck for almost two years now on july 14th (crazy i know the date i bought it)! i absolutley LOVE LOVE LOVE my truck! we have had some hard times with it being broken into and all... but every other time besides that incident have been great!

I love my truck because, one, its my dream vehicle i have wanted a truck ever since i can remember. two, it really feels to me like a trophy! every time i look at it, it shows me everything i have acomplished. then it makes me think of everything else i am greatful for.

As crazy as it sounds it really brightens up my day every time i look at it

and to think it all started with a toy truck my dad gave me a while back.. well i love hot wheels so he bought me this little blue truck once, and ever since then i have wanted my real life hotwheels truck! ha ha so i am basing my truck off of the little toy my dad gave me.

(even the wheels, are Hot Wheels lol)

I really really want to thank the guys over at elite customs for doing this paint job and fixing the damages when the truck got broken into! it has made it alot more stress free! they did the painting for FREE! which is absolutely amazing! i dont know how i am going to ever thank them enough! and everything they fixed worked out great and the pricing!!! we saved $600 out of pocket with them and got a free paint job! wow i really really really appriciate it! i thank them so much for going threw all this effort for me!

the truck will be getting some more stuff on it soon, headlights and tail lights soon soon, then a bigger lift, more custom paint work, window tint, supercharge done ect. ect. I CANT WAIT

and of course i will be having ELITE do everything!!!!!

Laat me met rust!

it means "leave me in peace" in dutch

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

I would like the absence of aggression, violence, and hostility.. please

some steps for bringing peace to your mind:

Choose carefully where we spend time.
If you have a spare 15 minutes, don't just automatically switch on the TV or surf the internet. take the opportunity to be still or at least do something positive. the problem is the mind feels insecure unless it has something to occupy it. however, when we really attain a clear mind we discover it creates a genuine sense of happiness and inner peace.

Control of thoughts
it is our thoughts that determine our state of mind. If we constantly cherish negative and destructive thoughts, inner peace will always remain a far cry. At all costs, we need to avoid pursuing trains of negative thoughts.

" If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality" -Sri Chinmoy

Simplify your life
there are many things that we can do without, quite often we add unneccessary responsibilities to our schedule. Do the most significant tasks, on at a time, and enjoy doing them. to experience innner peace, it is essentail to avoid cluttering our life with unnecessary activities and worries.

Spend time to cultivate inner peace
Every day we spend at least 8 hours a day to earn money, can we not find time to spend 15 minutes to cultivate inner peace? no matter how much money we earn, it cannot bring us inner peace or happiness. but, if we spend 15 minutes on meditation and relaxation techinques inner peace can become a possibility. To experience this inner peace we cannot allow any thought to enter into our mind. true inner peace occurs when we can transcend the world of thoughts.

Be immune to flattery and criticism
If we depend on the opinions and praise of other people, we can never have inner peace. Criticism and flattery are two sides of the same coin. they are both the judgments of others. However, we should not allow ourselves to be affected to either. when we do, we feed the ego. we should learn to have confidence in ourselves. this does not mean we will love ourselves in an egotistical way, it means we value our real self and have a belief in the good qualities that are part of everyone.

Be active selflessly
Inner peace does not mean that we have to live a life of a hermit. inner peace, can be felt amidst dynamic activity. but, this action should be done with selfless motives. when we serve others we forget our sense of self, and it is when we forget our limited self that we have inner peace.

Avoid Criticising others
If we want inner peace, we should feel that our inner peace depends on the well being of others. if we are indifferent to the feelings of others, then it is important to have inner peace for ourselves. what we give out comes back. if you offer a peacful attitude to others this what we will see in return.

so please laat me met rust!

to my mommy for mothers day!

Dear mom!

I would first of all like to thank you for putting up with me when i was in high school. I am very happy that i know you love and care for me. Even after some of the hard times that we have had. You have always been my best friend! I know that i can come to you for anything.. ANYTHING!.I love how me and you can talk on the phone for hours and have it be about nothing in general. i love how me and you can laugh and eachother when we do something silly. i love how honest you are with me and how you still feel like a little security blanket for me. I love the fact that i can look up to you and call you my hero. I always love it when people say they remind me of you. it is the biggest complement i could ever recieve! I hope one day I can be a wonderful and caring mom like you are. I hope one day i can be my kids best friend. I am very excited for the day when i can send my kids over to Omas house! I love how i can have a wonderful day with you when it is just us cracking jokes at things on the tv. I love how much of an influence you have been to me! I love how i can look up to you for marriage, and just life in general.
mom, you are the most beautiful,fun,amazing, person! I hope that you know how much i care for you and that you will always be the person i cant live without!

i love you mommy!

I would also like to thank all the other mothers that are in my life! granparents, my mother in law, aunts, ect. You guys are all amazing! i love you guys to death, and appriciate everything you have taught me!

Thank you so much stacey, for letting me be apart of your family! thank you for giving me such an amazing husband, and teaching him to be a good husband... i know he learned all that from you! I am very lucky to have a mother in-law like you!

just my luck...

So i get back from having a wonderful time in Arizona with my mom, and then right when i get back to work my bad luck streak kicks in again....

monday: my dad decided to do nothing while i was gone.. not even open the shop, so i had yelling customers while i was on vacation calling my phone and tuesday when i got back to work even more angry people yelling at me...

i had something else happen that i promised i wouldn't tell.... but it is also very upsetting

then i drive clear down to murray to pick up some sinks that i put on will call.. guess what there out of stock! so i drove down there for no reason, in stupid utah construction traffic. and all that company had to say was sorry

after i get back and start closing the shop..a guy walks in, he asks who could help him with tile and i said "that would be me" ... he laughed in my face looked at me funny and said,"never mind then i'll go somewhere else"...

so crying by now...

i get home and find out that the job i was suppose to be getting in the future ... was a lie.. thanks dad! so now the job that i really really was excited for, and depending on doesn't exsist.

Tuesday(today): wake up not feeling good, so i set up and appointment for my OBGYN and she cant see me unitl JULY!! so i have to go to this other male doctor i have never been to, and i still have to wait over a week to see him..

a guy comes in wanting a bid on a little top.. i gave him a price (which was very reasonable for the type of work) and he starts yelling at me! telling me "i dont know how to do math and that i am ripping him off". i break it down and explain the pricing to him and he tells me to "forget it, i'll find someone that has better knowledge of this"

shortly after this...

a kid comes in looking for a job. i tell him we are not hiring, then he asks me to sign this paper showing he came looking for a job here..(happens all the time, it's for unemployment) so i handed him the paper and he takes off running! i look down and notice he took off with my phone!!! so i watch where he is going.. call the police and let them know what happened....

GUESS WHAT... this was over an hour ago and the police still aren't here!!!!!


what the hell is going on?

maybe someone can answer this quesion for me

okay so at work we sell, tile and granite countertops,ect.. with the economy the way it is, we dont keep alot of granite slabs or tile in stock...(we dont want to loose money of course,smart) well anyways it BUGS BUGS BUGS me when people get mad at this! I will get people in daily and they will walk out when they have to have the tile ordered because we dont have it in stock (it only takes three days to order in tile) but for some odd reason no one will wait a whopping THREE days! also, because we dont have alot of granite slabs i tell people to go to salt lake and look at all the slabs so they have a bigger selection... they wont do it! On average people will spend $3,500 for granite countertops for there kitchen.. so why wouldn't you want to look around and get what you REALLY want since you are spending that much money anyways! it drives me crazy!

half the time no one will end up doing business with us because we dont have enough tile, or granite in stock... why are people so freaking lazy! it only takes 30 min to drive to salt lake and look at granite slabs, and it only takes three days to get the tile they want..

people would rather spend the extra $2 a square foot for tile at home depot just because they can get it at once and not have to drive back there.

people would rather get granite there not completely in love with, just so they dont have to drive to salt lake!

with the tile thing also, because the economy is bad the companies we get the tile from, wont keep it in stock either. (they also dont want to lose money) so half the time it's not even are fault!

i really dont get this! DO YOU?

ugh people are idiots!

my house someday!!!!

so i have really been dreaming about remodeling the home! we are suppose to be remodeling the kitchen at the end of this year! if all goes well that is! so for fun i used my computer software and put together the end result of what the remodel will be when i am done with everything. everyone has been in my house so you should be able to get a good idea of the ones that dont have a before

before

after

the upstairs bathroom

the down stairs bathroom

laundry and storage/craft area

storage/craft area
whole view of basement

another view of the basment

pretty cool huh!?

what the world has come to!!!

(my truck without damages cant load the pictures that show the damages for some reason)

well on Saturday two men broke into my truck and stole pretty much everything!

They broke the driver side window. With the force of them breaking it, it put a dent in the door and the impact of the glass put scratches all over inside the truck. They ripped my seat my baby(truck) is a mess...

The total damages where totalled in at $1750!

The following items they stole where,
my ipod-$250
my purse- $40
wallet-$30
cds-$60
and all my cards, social secuirity card, banking information and a bunch of other misc. items like cds.

well me being the idiot i am i had all my banking information so they put my account in the negative a whopping $385 including the money they stole when my account was in the positive which was about $75 (good thing we where broke when this happen lol)

So when this all happened they had a CSI unit come and they got a hold of some finger prints of the men. This is how they found out who the suspects where. One was a white guy the other was a mexican. They have both been in prison and the white guy actually only got out five days ago! and was in prision for 12 years!

Now this really upsets me about our govement! I pay my taxes so that these guys get food and all this other stuff while there in prison! and they haven't learned obviously, so they should seriously just kill these men off. They had there chance and failed so kill them off so i am not paying for them to have a free ride! It's really not fair! these low lifes get a free ride with rent,college degrees, food ect. Then they steal from someone that has actually had to work for what they have!

I am very lucky that i have good insurance and a bank who will refund me all of this sice the total on everything is a almost three grand in damage, but i'm still out a couple hundred dollars and i feel like i have been violated! plus, my truck will not be the same anymore..

But here is what makes me even more angry! these two men did all of this to me and the police still haven't even gone to arrest them yet!! they said they'll get to it tommorrow WTF!!! seriously!!!!

and another thing is... i can press charges and sue them and everything but, in the end it's not going to matter! they've both been in prison for over ten years and that didn't change a damn thing! what else can i do put them in prison again!? there not going to care it doesn't matter to them obviously! if they really dont care about life and they want to throw there lives away we should do just that for them and kill them off so they dont do this to anymore people.

where do i even go with this? when will i get my paid back for my expenses on what they did to everything i worked hard for?! what's sad is i wont. they wont get what they deserve, and i wont get my revenge on them.

I am however thankful that i wasnt around when they did this. Two men that just got out of prison?! who knows what they are capable of or what they had with them..

I JUST REALLY REALLY HOPE MY BAD STREAM OF LUCK I HAVE HAD THESE LAST TWO MONTHS ARE OVER!! I REALLY DONT THINK I CAN HANDLE MUCH MORE!

and i am really trying not to make a list of everything bad going on right now but i am having a really hard time.

everything that is in the passed i am trying to keep in the pass, but come on!!

i will be so so happy when these trial periods i am having are over...

removing the last post

i decided to remove the last post because i really didn't want to look at it every time i came on here. also, i decided if i want things to change i need to look passed all that and just move on with my head up high! it was really nice to vent though and thanks for everyone that gave me advice. i talked to all the guys and they seem to be doing a little better and trying there best to help. all though i have had this talk with them before a few times i guess boys will be boys and i just have to keep reminding them i am only ONE PERSON (i know they think i am wonder woman sometimes) I WISH! but i just wanted to thank everyone that is in my life... and wether or not your helpin me all the time. i appricaite every little thing you guys do!!!

mitch and his pepsi!

Most of you know Mitch LOVES Pepsi..

Most of you also know Mitch LOVES leaving half drank Pepsi EVERY WHERE!

I have tried and tried breaking him of this habit but it's no use! we would probably save hundreds if Mitch would actually drink the whole Pepsi! and it would save me time cause i am constantly picking up those stupid Pepsi cans! and i am the one that got kidney stones (go figure).

well... with me being sick for a week i hadn't been cleaning. Mitch helped clean but it was more of a GUYS KIND OF CLEANING(if you cant see the garbage it's not there). Well with me feeling better i decided to clean on Saturday.. I found Mitch's hiding spot! between the two couches was a whole village of Pepsi cans! (why is it so difficult to just throw away something when your done?)

so here are the lovely pictures (mobile photos sorry) of all the stuff from Mitch that he left between the two couches!

Here is the list of what was all between the couches;

1 can of beer

2 7 up cans

1 glass jar of pickles! (empty but with juice.. yuck!)

1 litter of Pepsi

and

5 cans of Pepsi

that's TEN things that where all hidden between the couches!

this use to be frustrating.. but now it's funny.. so that is why i am sharing it with you! go a head and have a laugh. I laugh at this every day.

beyond words.....

On Sunday, Mitch got lost on a snowmobile trip....long story short they found him.. they had to pick him up by a helicopter and everything.. That is the just of the story..

I, how ever still haven't been able to get over it completely. I am defiantly not going to say it is a bad thing though.. Knowing the feelings that i felt when Mitch's friend called me to tell me Mitch was missing is a feeling i will never be able to explain. I have never in my life been so sad and scared. I was throwing up and couldn't control myself.

Mitch was finally found two hours later after i received a call. He had been missing for almost six hours total. Defiantly the longest two hours in my life!!!

When i finally got to see Mitch....I have never felt so thankful and blessed before. The feeling was incredible! Never has Mitch's skin been so soft, never has Mitch's smell smelt so good, never has Mitch made me collapse, never has Mitch's hugs felt so incredible, never has Mitch's kisses felt so perfect.

It was such an amazing feeling to have all of that warmth and love come over me! It has changed me for the fact that of course i knew i loved Mitch, i knew he was my life, i know he completes me and he's my everything. But, I never knew exactly how strong the love for my husband really was! how powerful love is! How truly truly grateful i am for Mitch, my sweet sweet husband!

I am so lucky to have my soul mate! I am so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life! That little trip has changed me for the fact that i really know how much love i have for someone, and that feeling is beyond words!

I love you Mitchel! You are such an amazing person! every second i spend with you is a blessing!

I WOULD NOW LIKE TO SHOW OFF

i have done some pretty crazy projects with my work. but, this one was the most difficult.

These fixtures are in the XANGO juice world headquarters. Xango juice is a heath drink. (its pretty tasty)

well these where done by my dad and i only!

it took us one full month six days a week. working from 4am-9pm.

alot alot alot of sweat, blood, and tears went into this. especially tears! i was so exhausted by the
end day everything would make me cry lol its funny now but sure wasnt then.

everything was done on site! so only a few tools where used here.

what you are looking at exactly is fixtures made out of corian. corian is a solid surface used for countertops. you'll see it in some homes and alot of commercial buildings. but.... not so much like this.

my dad was the first person to ever try actually thermal forming corian.... obviously it worked!

so in a way this is all white plastic that was heated up and bent and put together. to form these fixtures

the cool thing about corian is that the glue you use to put everything together is a perfect color match to the material so it gives it the look that there are no seams.

all of these fixtures look to be as though there all one piece

GO ME!

another project i have done similar to this you may be more familar with is:

Apple computer

:)

go check out a store everything in there that's white i made!
