PRAISE THE LORD!
After many attempts to move to another area of the company, I have finally been offered one. You're reading the blog of the new Quality Assurance Administrative Assistant. I pretty much just got a big fat raise, and a position outside of the visitor center. Hallelujah!

Interview
Tomorrow, Friday, I have a 2nd interview at HCC. Please pray for during the 2-3 pm hour, and before if you would like. Pray that if this position is God's will for me that everything will go well and I'll say all the right things to impress the panel of interviewers. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks so much!
I did it...
I put my heart on the line. It was rejected. Now it's a little broken.
That's all I have to say about that for now.
The end.
That's all I have to say about that for now.

What a great "faux" weekend!
I love weeks like this one. Work Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was a holiday (although I worked a couple hours), then I took Thursday off. 2 days on, 2 days off, one day on, 2 days off. Why can't every week be like that?
The "faux weekend" really started off Tuesday night, when Jenn and I hosted Tuesday Night Dinner at George's (aka Thomas & Katie's) House. The food was great, minus the crispy teriaki chicken. Most of the guys left earlier than normal to catch their late showing of Transformers. Jenn and I cleaned up and went to Target and Wal-Mart (the devil).
Yesterday was the Fourth of July. And I celebrated (sans the fireworks and sparklers)! Friends came over, friends swam, friends ate and drank, friends swam some more, and friends played liars dice. Friends are fun! It was pretty much a perfect way to celebrate and stay cool at the same time.
Enjoy some pictures for your viewing pleasure!
Aiden in the water playing with Aunt Allie.
Monty, prepared for the worst...falling in and not finding the steps.
Jeffery family #1.
Me.
Darren playing catch outside the pool.
George floating. Could life get better? No effort in floating, and a beer... ahhhhh...
Jenn & Anthony.
Rob. I don't know what he's doing...
Oops. I lied. There were sparklers, but they came out after everyone left. That's my brother, Chris, showing his spirit.
For my Thursday off, which I took mainly because I had a doctor's appointment, I also ended up driving down to Fresno to visit the MOST adorable soon-to-be-two-year-old ever! This child would be Macie, the same that I visited in DC. She has grown leaps and bounds since April. I'm no longer Nortney... But hey, I've upgraded to Courtnee. How 'bout that? In addition to seeing Macie, I got to see her mom and my old roommate, Melissa. It was great seeing both of them, and eating Cheesecake Factory... yummyyyy..... I can't wait until they move back to California!
Hi, how cute is she!?!
Muah! Macie blowing kisses to her mommy.
Cheese! No, really. She's eating a grilled cheese sandwich and showing it off.
I pretty much can't wait until the real weekend starts, after tomorrow at 5pm!
(By the way, I have an interview Friday from 4-5. Please pray for me during that time.)

1. Actively seek God in my day to day life, worshiping Him and bring Him glory. Being like Jesus to people.
2. Continued control from nibbling at work. No pastries, desserts, and nibblings.
3. Again with the losing 5 pounds. Summer is here! Not only that, but I am in my best friend's wedding in October. My goal, which is totally obtainable, is to lose 20 pounds by then. Help hold me to it everyone!
4. Go somewhere out of the area. Maybe a drive to the coast is in order...
5. Confess something to someone, and see where things go from there. I know this maybe be totally cryptic to some, but others of you know what I'm talking about. Time to encourage without pressuring :)
6. Have a good attitude with current job. But seek new one in the meantime.
7. Quit rewarding myself with food. If I do something good or deserving or a reward (went on a walk, lost weight, made it through a day at work, etc.) I tend to treat myself to something with calories, and lots of them. Time to reward myself with something different. A pedicure, manicure, new shirt, or purse, or whatever.
8. Exercise. Swim, walk, Bosu ball, anything!
June resolution time

Oops, June is over...
I realized last night, very late, that I hadn't updated you on how my June resolutions went. So, this is how June played out.
1. Actively seek God in my day to day life, worshiping Him and bring Him glory. Being like Jesus to people.
Not easy, but always trying.
2. Continued control from nibbling at work. No pastries, desserts, and nibblings.
I wasn't very good at this one in June. I do need to work on it more.
3. Again with the losing 5 pounds. Summer is here! Not only that, but I am in my best friend's wedding in October. My goal, which is totally obtainable, is to lose 20 pounds by then. Help hold me to it everyone!
I think I lost 2 or 3 pounds. Not the 5 I was aiming for, but every pound counts.
4. Go somewhere out of the area. Don't know where yet...
Well, I went down to San Luis Obispo again for another cousin's wedding. Then to Pozo, mapquest it it's in the middle of nowhere Central Coast, where the reception was. Most of my ancestors on my mom's lived in Pozo, so it was nice to see all that family history in the area.
5. Start planning a bachelorette party weekend for said bride of October wedding. Anyone have any ideas? Possibly having friends from across the country joining the party.
Weekend picked out, check! Lodging booked, check! Now for the tacky, trashy bachelorette garb for the bride to be...
6. Have a good attitude with current job.
I have failed at this one. It's really hard to keep a good attitude in my current work situation.
7. Quit rewarding myself with food. If I do something good or deserving or a reward (went on a walk, lost weight, made it through a day at work, etc.) I tend to treat myself to something with calories, and lots of them. Time to reward myself with something different. A pedicure, manicure, new shirt, or purse, or whatever.
Yea, need to work on this one too. Old habits are hard to break.
8. Per my father's request and suggestion... Be more out going towards guys. As great as it would be to just sit back and wait for God, I've also got to not wait by the door. Time to get out there. Be out going. Flirt a little and enjoy myself.
Oh if you only knew the agony I'm going through with this one. This topic actually deserves a whole separate post. Stay posted...
9. Exercise.
HAHA!
10. Forgive for the wrongs I feel have been done towards me, and let go of the unknowns for why people are the way they are. Try not to dwell on everything that does not affect me.
Honestly, I think I'm not doing too bad with this one. I still have questions, but I've come to terms with things.
