Catch up!

I know I haven't posted in a very long time, I will catch you up on what's going on. I have a job! Back in the summer I got a job at a call center because I was getting desperate and thought it would be good experience. Wow, that is an understatement, I worked there for several months though and learned a good bit. Before I got the job at the call center I had an interview with another company. I didn't get job but he really liked me. So I took the job at the call center, I didn't like it but made the best of it.
I moved into a basement apartment so I kept working. I then got a call from the other company I had an interview with and he wanted me to come back in for another interview for another position. I went in and got that job. I was excited that it was going to be a good place for me to learn and grow. I'm enjoying the job and looking forward to learning more.
I'm enjoying my new place as well. I had a roommate but she moved out, so I'm now looking for another roommate. I know everything will turn out good. A lot of things have changed in 2012 and more will be change this year and can't wait to see will happen this year. Stay tuned to find out.

Waiting...

I've been trying to wait to post until I have some news but right now it seems like a waiting game. The job I applied for is being slow about hiring so I guess I'll just wait and see. I'm also trying to keep my options open, and planning on doing some more searching this week. I just want to work, help others, and be productive. I know it will happen, and it will probably be a great job! I've had a good feeling lately. Now to do some more searches and make some more contacts this week! I hope everyone has been enjoying this weather, it's been beautiful. 
The past couple of weeks have been interesting while volunteering. It's been some interesting calls coming in but not necessarily intended for the particular organization. I'm still very much enjoying my time there though and looking forward to a similar career.

Getting closer...

First things first, I got my diploma! It's huge, but I finally got it!! Yah! :) It came over the weekend and needless to say I'm excited.

Next, I set up an interview for Thursday morning. It's for a legal secretary position, so I'm spending the next couple of days preparing for it. It's not an advocate job but it's in the legal field, and I think I will enjoy it. Hopefully this will further prepare me for another job. I'm nervous about this interview and would appreciate prayers for Thursday morning, that I will be prepared and that my nerves will be calmed. Also, that I will be shown, or know, if this is the right job for me.
Lastly, I would also like to ask for some prayers for an unspoken situation that will be going on at the same time as my interview. I want to say thanks for all of the encouraging words and prayers that everyone has given me. It is greatly appreciated. Some good news this week (well I guess it will be next week before I hear back) would be great :) Will update soon and let you know how it all goes.

Just a reminder...

This post is going to need some additional information to understand. My grandma passed away about a year and a half ago, and I miss her terribly. She was one who sent cards for every occasion and it was always  nice to get them. Well back at the end of December, a card I got from her was found and it had some money still in it. I was such a sweet surprise to find and I wanted to do something special with it. Over the weekend I decided what I wanted to do with it, and made a build a bear with it. You may think, Amy you're 26 years old what are you going to do with a stuffed bear? I happen to love stuffed animals and I wanted to do something that would be a good reminder of her for me. I got a white bear that is incredibly soft, and there was a teal colored shirt that had a hummingbird and flower on it. I remember Mamaw wearing a lot of teal, and I always thought it looked good on her, and she loved hummingbirds. She always had her feed out there for them. I have encountered a couple of hummingbirds within the last year and cannot help but think of her. I think it is the best way to have a constant reminder of her, and can keep it with me always. Whenever I want talk to her or hug her I now can. :) So...meet Francey

Getting comfortable...

The more I'm volunteering the more comfortable I'm getting. I seemed to be forgetting things today but other than that, it has been very good lol. I forgot my jacket at the office today and had to turn around to go get it, and then I was leaving the store and left my keys in the buggy (which I didn't realize until I got to my car. When I went back the buggy was gone, I was worried someone grabbed the buggy with my keys in it and walking around the store (sigh). Thankfully the greeter (yes I was at Walmart) came back and said he'd just took the keys to customer service. Anyways, I am getting more of a chance to talk to people and I'm enjoying it. Today didn't go quite as planned but I'm looking forward to next week. This time volunteering is solidifying that this is what I want to do! Not necessarily this group of victims, but similar type of work. I can't wait to actually begin my career. Please continue to pray as I search for a job.

I also wanted to take the time to thank those supported Turner Syndrome Awareness month, I realize this was before I started my blog but I wanted to say thanks for those who possibly could be reading this blog. It was been a good month.

It's another...

So this post is going to be on another topic. It seems ever since I was little I have been batting something (health wise). Every time I get something fixed or under control something else happens. If it's not one thing, it's another. I've been looking for alternatives methods and thought I would reach out on here. Lab work came back that I have slight hypothyroidism. I was given medication but since I'm not that far off the "balanced" range, I would like to try and get it under control through diet or another natural way. If anyone reading this has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

This week I was able to take more calls, and not just messages, which was neat. I also found out I will be getting more involved in the non-profit organization, which is exciting! Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been trying to wait until I have something to post. I had a busy weekend with friends and hanging out with my "nephdogs" lol :). I was excited about an opportunity my sister in law suggested to me. I tried to get in touch with them yesterday but was unable to, so I completed the application and went over there today while I was out completing errands I wasn't able to do yesterday. I plan on attending the training for it in April, and I'm really looking forward to it. I think it will really help in my career, or it may be what I'm intended to do. Wish me luck! I also had an interview for another job today, so wish me luck that I hear back from them. Stay tuned for updates!! Thanks everyone for your support as I embark on this.
