Hi/Lo Thursday!
WOW...my "hi" for this week was that I had a job interview last Friday. It went very well, and I know I would really like that position if I got it! I haven't heard any word on it, yet but I was thankful for the interview and even more greatful that it went so well! Just praying that I hear some good news regarding the job soon!!

The "Lo" for this week...my current job situation. It's terrible. It takes every ounce of me to make it through the day. My co-workers/boss...they are MAD if I do something right and they are MAD if I make even the smallest mistake (keeping in mind that this is a brand new position for me since my other position was eliminated due to company buy-out). They will spend all of about 20 mins training me (so, with that...how am I supposed to learn), they scough if I ask a question (so, how am I supposed to learn) and will turn around and train the person sitting next to me for over 2 hours and also answer their questions in perfect detail where if I ask them a question they tell me to "figure it out myself" (and I quote). They are just down right mean to me and I really need a break (hopefully the job interview from Friday is my break). It's not good for my health to be THIS stressed out everyday. I can't be on any meds right now (no chemo, no steroids, not even any aleve), so prayer is the only thing keeping me "healthy" enough to get into work everyday. I don't know why they act this way towards me (I'm a bubbly person, but not when I'm working lately just b/c it is very hard to be in a good mood when your treated like junk, when all you want is some training on your new position). I pray that I get that job that I interviewed for on Friday (and I pray that I hear about it soon). I pray that this "lo" turns into a "hi" when I post next week!!

Thank you all for your wonderful support! You know you mean the world to me and I love you all so much! May you have a VERY Blessed week! And remember...check out Abby's story and PRAY for her!!

Love,
Amanda

Laughter Lives Tuesday

First things, first...remember to PRAY for Abby and her family! This family is SO precious!
This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.


Today's topic is "picutres that are so funny, I was glad I had my camera! I had a hard time limiting pics because I have SO many funny pics! So...descriptions are below each pic...enjoy!

Aaron and his niece. Aaron is on the Wii Fit and his niece wanted so badly to "play", too, so her mom smashed down one of her barbie boxes and convinced her that this was infact a "wii fit". Taeya had the best time playing with Uncle Aaron on the Wii!

The next two photos...my maid of honor flew in from MN 3 days before the wedding. I tried on my dress that Weds to make sure everything still fit perfectly. I wasn't quite ready to take my dress off and ended up convincing Katie that she needed to put on her bridesmaid dress and we needed to each have a drink! GUTSY move on my part since I was wearing a white dress opening up 2 bottles of Cranberry Mikes Hard Lemonade just 3 days before my wedding!
There were no spills...and we had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!! :)
This is my mom and my uncle Mike. None of us knew that he was "musical" and my mom decided she was going to put on a "show"! If only we had a video for this b/c it was absolutely hilarious!

My friend Ashleigh. It was raining so hard that night and so she was bundling up so her hair wouldn't get messy! Ofcourse b/c it was a Friday night, I had my camera on me and viewed this as a photo opportunity!
My cute niece (she's 4 yrs old now)...she LOVES bathtime and I always did goofy things with her when we babysat (above...putting the washcloth on her head)
Giving her a beard with soap!
Here is my niece again...trying to sneak a gingerbread cookie...that little mischevious look on her face!!!

This pics is one of our annual gingerbread making nights. We do this every year the week before Christmas. My little niece (back to the camera) only wanted the frosting! How many adults does it take to make a "pre-made" gingerbread house??!?!?

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL week! Enjoy and remember to LAUGH no matter what (I have to tell myself that A LOT lately)...but it's not impossible! Take care, God Bless and I'll update soon!

Love,

Amanda
