Hi
Hi ladies! So since it has been awhile I thougth I should maybe update everyone. There are some new things but a lot, mostly I just feel bad because Krista posted a month ago and I've been really bad. So...
I got a job at Rite Aid. It's not my dream job but my shift supervisor really likes me (although I still don't know why) so her and I close at night together. There are some young people working there that really need to grow up and some days I feel more like a babysitter for them but I just keep telling myself that I need the paycheck. Some days it works, other days..... I have also been taking Sierra to dog training. We just finished up our fifth lesson (we have nine total) and she is amazing. I did not like her very much when we first started and now I like her again. I can take her for a walk and not have to sprint behind her and she no longer acts like a wild dog. Lol
You all probably know that Jessica graduated, since she sent you the announcements. Mom and I made those and she wanted to send them to her "other sisters" since you guys aren't here to see. Her graduation was nice, some of the families brought air horns and used them during the ceremony and other families brought beach balls and blew them up and tossed them down for the kids. It would have been fun except they tossed them down at the beginning of the ceremony instead of at the end.
Sarah is her usual self. She's 14 and there's really no other word to describe her. She kind of has this Jeykle/Hyde thing going so we mostly leave her alone unless she comes out to socialize and then we just have to be careful. :o) We are all praying that the phase will pass quickly before mom kills her. It would be justifiable though!
Bethany just joined the Air Force and we are all very proud of her. She took her medical last week and was sworn into the delayed entry program, which means she can still back out but there would be a lot of red tape to cut through so it's not recommended. Her recruiter helped her narrow down a career choice and she chose Linguistics so she'll be a translator, for what language she doesn't know yet. She took her language test today to make sure she can take that career and she did really well. The AF requires that you score 100 out of 170 and she got 124. She just missed the last batch of recruits that are being sent so she will be in the next group that they will put together in mid-July. Then she has to wait for a spot for her (and her career) to open up before they send her to boot camp. The earliest it would be is mid-August so she has a little time but it could be later, which is what she is hoping for because boot camp is in Texas.
Mom and Dad are good. I hardly ever see them because I close probably four nights a week and I'm gone before they get home from work and I get home after they are in bed and they leave for work before I get up (cause I don't get off work til 1030 at night).
So, that's about it. I'll try to be better this month, I promise.
Love ya!

Most Embarassing Moment
Oh boy, there are so many... Where does a girl start? The most recent was probably when I was working nights with the police department. I was in a two person car and the officer I was with had yet to inform me that when we deal with stupid people, and are a two person unit, that when the officer is ranting about the stupid person, the other officer (me) should not key up the mike for the radio when said officer is climbing back in the car to rant. Well, I keyed up the mike to ask our dispatcher a question just as my partner climbs back in the car, in full rant. Oops!!! The entire county heard the officer say a not very nice word. I just kept going, like nothing had happened but for weeks after that the Sergeant had to remind me at shift briefing not to key up the mike until the coast was clear, so to speak. And everyone that was on that night laughed for weeks. It was pretty funny but still embarassing.
