Leaving for Watford City North Dakota!

I am so excited about going to Watford City ND!  Can’t wait to see the newest grandchild Liam.  Kyndall sure has missed her Nana. 
I got to airport 2 hours early like it says to do.  I think I could have got there only a hour ahead and been just fine.  But I didn’t want to risk not getting to my destination.  

I always take a picture of where my vehicle is parked.  I remember years ago of parking at Denver’s airport parking and not finding car for 30 minutes or so.  Was on wrong level.  I vowed then that I would not do that again.  Some life lessons we have to learn the hard way. 

My layover is in Minneapolis.  When I seen how huge the airport was from the plane I got scared I wouldn’t make the connecting flight.  Thank goodness the gate was only 2 gates from where I debarked.  My layover was only 30 minutes so it could have been pretty intense if the new gate was on opposite side of the airport.   The plane was so small, as Mr. C would say a sardine can.  The one good thing is this flight was not full.  My seat ate Ricardo was extremely nice and we had a great visit.  He also was going to visit his grandchildren. As many of you might know I never meet a stranger. 
The best part of the trip is Trevor and Mellissa took Kyndall out of school and surprised both of us.  I was so happy to see everyone.

Brooks 4 th birthday party


Nana with birthday boy.  Brooks had such a good time at his party.  More people showed up than expected. He had a great turnout.  Nana and papa bought him a RC truck and a medium size nerf gun. He requested the nerf gun.  Am glad he received several more nerf guns.  That made Brooks very happy.

I ordered an extra large supreme pizza (my favorite pizza) Their pizza isn’t half bad.  Jessica had ordered cute cupcakes as well.  I really enjoyed visiting with everyone.  I also ran into an old friend Ray and his family celebrating his grandchild’s 5th birthday.

Happy Valentines Day

 

My husband out did himself this year for Valentines Day.  I was extremely surprised by my flowers and candy bouquet.  I am not going to lie it brought tears to my eyes.  I know Mr.C. Loves me by everything he does for me. This though was unexpected and I was in disbelief by his generosity.  

Valentine’s Day is all about love.  Today my heart beat a little faster and I could feel the love my husband has for me.  He had already bought me a red Keurig for Valentine’s Day as mine had stopped working several days ago.  

Love my stuffed puppy, we have named him puppy love.  💗 💗  The candy bouquet even had a small balloon in it along with chocolates, nuts, gummies and chips.

Rejected job offer

 



I received my rejected email on WFM workforce coordinator today.  I am very grateful to have had the experience to interview for the position.  I did a decent interview. Was proud of myself for taking a jump and going outside my comfort zone. 

I will say the hours would have been different for me as they are 10am till 7pm, with no chance of that changing.  That would be an issue with me wanting to do things with grandchildren in evenings.  But if I had got the job I would have made it all work out.  

My biggest takeaway is never just settle.  If a job opening comes up and you’re interested fill out that application. What do you have to lose by taking a chance?  In future if there is any openings somewhere else that catches my attention you better believe I will fill out that application form.  

Although to tell you the truth I do love my department and my manager Sherry.  Plus the pay is pretty darn decent.  Working at a call center can be very stressful but in all reality what job isn’t stress free?

Mr. C pumping my gas.

My husband is a good man.  He always makes sure I have gas in our Jeep.  Am greatly blessed with him being in my life.  This is just one of the many things he does for me every week. 
If it’s cold outside he will start my car for me before I leave for work. If my ole bones ever get cold it takes forever for them to warm up.  All the ways he shows me how much he loves me blows my mind.  He always packs my work lunches so I never have to worry about what I’m taking to eat. He then makes sure he has dinner ready for me when I get home from work.  He takes care of the house and yard.  
I will always say God is great and he knew exactly the perfect man for me.  Not one day goes by that I don’t thank God for bringing Mr. C. Into my life.  This man has been my best friend, my protector, my rock in turbulent times.
