Going crazy

So this week is absolutely crazy! Bobby is off camping with Mikey and Joey until Friday so I'm helping Uncle Steve in the flower shop all week. Things are crazy there. We have to big weddings on Saturday and a TON of funeral work! Apparently somebody really popular died because we have 13 orders for his funeral alone! So Uncle Steve is having to stay late tonight and do all those orders because he has to have them at the funeral by 1 tomorrow. It's crazy! And Today doing deliveries was fun. Two of the service elevators at BSA aren't working so by the time i got told that and figured out that the only one working was REALLY slow i had wasted 5 minutes. Then i got on the visitor elevators which are way faster. But the first delivery i had, the person wasn't there any more. So then i went to make the other one only to discover i had dropped the bow somewhere. So i called Uncle Steve and he found on the ground outside of the van. So I left the plant at the reception desk and went down and left the other delivery at the van and took the card back up. Then i found out it was in the new wing. But the nice nurse offered to take it over there for me because she was going that. I was so thankful for that. The rest of the time at the shop i was busy sweeping and taking boxes ans stuff out to the dumpster because we got a lot of orders in. *sighs* it was hectic. Tomorrow I'm Babysitting and Aunt Laura is going to help uncle Steve by taking deliveries after Kaytie's gymnastics. It will definitely be an interesting day and rest of the week. Oh and on Saturday I have a car wash for our basketball team ( it's at Chick Fil A the one by the walmart come by if you need your car washed!) the same day as the weddings. So bobby is going to have to help Uncle Steve with those. and then later that night we have to go to some kind of reach team thing. fun. I'm probably going to be so tired I'll fall asleep during it.

Chrysalis #104

The Chrysalis was AWESOME!!! God worked in soo many peoples lives! Not just the caterpillars. IT was sooo cool to see how God works in peoples lives. All of those girls are so special and it was amazing to see them finally understand how much God loves them! I will be praying for all of you! you guys rock! The weekend truly was life changing. We had several girls get saved and you could just see in their faces the way they glowed.... it was soo awesome! The weekend changed my life also. what is soo cool is that what i really needed to hear came from a caterpillar. It blew me away. I'm going to start living like i should. I know I've said that before and well.. I'm only human. But i know that i have people who will keep me to it this time. The team was awesome as well! They were there for me when i needed them. I love all you guys! But most of all I love GOD! He is so amazing and i know that no matter what I struggle with from now He'll be there. :)

Flowers and Life

So i went to work today and learned a spiritual lesson. Uncle Steve was teaching me how to design an arrangement. I was a little nervous because i was afraid that i would mess up so badly he'd have to throw away the flowers ( i'm not very good at cutting the steams). So while i was trying to design a thought came to me " as long as i do the arrangement from the instructions he gives me it will turn out alright." And then i realized how true that is in life. If we only would follow God's instructions then everything would turn out alright. But so many times we try to design our lives the way we think they should be. when really the way we are designing it, it will fall apart in a few hours. Just like arrangements. If you don't put the flowers in right then the flowers will start falling out and then you have a big mess. I've made a lot of "designing errors" in my life. So many times I've tried to do something my way and then watch it fall apart. But then when i do it God's way, it's so much better. Who knew that you could learn something from flowers?

Chrysalis

So I'm working a Chrysalis this weekend. It's going to be awesome! I get to be an Assistant Lay Director which is a very ummm how shall i put this? stressful job. I just hope i don't mess something up. Because i get to ring the bell to let everyone know when it's time to go or leave. Thankfully i won't be in charge of the watch though. KK is handling that. The only part that really stinks about me getting to go is that i am going to miss camp. :( The Chrysalis is the 10th to the 13th. It will end around 6:00pm. Camp is from the 13th to the 19th. They are leaving for camp around 1 pm on the 13th. If it wasn't for that and the money, i could go! So I'm not going to see them for a week and a half! *sigh* i suppose I'll survive. What really, really stinks though is that that same week Courtney is going to camp! But i guess God has a plan for this. I'm just going to have to wait and see

Ear pierced!

Today i got my ears pierced. YAY!!! It's pretty cool. It hurt when she first put it in my ear. But after about a minute the pain went away and it was ok. Getting them pierced was more expensive than we thought though. I thought that it was only going to be $14 because i'd seen promotional signs around the store before. So i agreed to pay $7, and my parents would pay $7. But as it turns out it was $38!!! So my parents wound up paying $31. Which kind of shocked us. We should've asked first how much it cost. But by that time my ears were all ready pierced, so it was too late. At least they're pierced now.
Bobby and I have been working at Zelsman's Florist for my Uncle Steve. We trade off days. We sweep the floors, scrub buckets, clean out the cooler, deliver flowers ( he drives we take the flowers in) and do whatever else needs to be done. It's a pretty good job. We get paid $10 a day. Which is more than i've ever been paid for a job. I'm learning a lot about flowers. They have the weirdest names! I can't even spell or pronounce most of them. You'd think they would name them something everyone can remember, but nooo! They have to think of THE most complicated names possible! Like on blooming plant names nepthitis. Who's going to rememember that?! The only reason i remember what's called is because it's a pretty popular plant and Uncle Steve uses it a lot.
I'll try to write more often now, but no promises!
