Home SWEET Home

So... the time has come... I was kicked out of my house with my family, and moved into my new home in Mesa. Weird... Just as a warning, this is going to be a VERY boring post. My computer likes to be slow when it comes to uploading pictures onto my computer, and I don't have the patience to wait for it. So I just don't uploud them. SORRY!
It's only been 4 in a half days, and I love it. I didn't know it'd be THIS hard though.
I moved on Wednesday, and set all my stuff up. I have a little OCD problem though... I was hanging my clothes up in my closet and my cousin Chelsea decided to help me becuase she was all finished with her stuff. So we were hanging up my clothes, and when I hang up my clothes they HAVE to be color coordinated, and I only have pink and black hangers, so I HAVE to match the hanger the best I can with the shirt, or pant being hung. Call me crazy, but it's true! And I was doin this, and Chels was helping and I could kinda tell it was driving her nuts, but she volunteered to help, so that is what she got! Haha..
It went by way faster with her help though, so THANKS CHELS! =)
So my parents, being SO kind, and SO caring, and SO loving, bought me a new full size bed, but it wasn't going to be here til Friday, so I was supposed to bring an air mattress down with me to sleep, but I was so busy trying to get things packed that I forgot to bring the air mattress down with me. Sad right? So I had to sleep on the couch for 2 nights! =( I lived though. haha So I'm not really complaining.
I went grocery shopping for myself on Thursday! And let me tell you, THAT was very very strange! I have always gone like with, or for my madre, but not for myself. It was very weird!
On Friday I started working for my cousin Natalie, and her hubby Andy. They own a bug spraying business here in the Valley. It was way fun, and totally easy. I'm just working 4 hours for now until I get my schedule, and start working for Buckle-which is on Wednesday. =)
My parents and little sisters came down to stay the night with me in my new house on Friday night too! =) I was very excited for them to come, because I was missing them so much!
I started getting sick that night too. My lymphnoid on the left side of my neck was growing profusely(def. dont know how to spell that :)) It also hurt like... You know what! My mom thought I might be coming down with strep, but I went to the Dr. today and that is not the case. I just have a viral infection.. dumb.
On Saturday I went shopping with the whole fam. We got me a little dresser thing, some towels, a night stand, and some food. =) They love me a lot. ;)
That evening it was time to say goodbye, for the last time! It was so sad! I bawled like a baby! (I get it from me madre) I think part of it was because I was starting to get sick, and I just wanted my mommy there to take care of me. Sill.. it was sad! And I did NOT want them to leave=( I've sucked it up since then... kinda. My dad called me today and I couldn't help but not hold back the tears when he told me to get better and stuff.
I seriously don't know if I can do this! I feel so grown up, but I don't wanna be! I miss the easy life of just living at home, and not having to pay for my own things. I miss my siblings too, even Trent! Sad to say, but I miss his teasing, and tormenting me! Sure, it's nice not having it, but ah! I just hate this! It's definitely easier living with family, that makes it WAY nice, but sometime I just want to come home and give my mom, or dad a hug for the heck of it.
I had NO idea how much I took for granite while at home. Like having GOOD AC, or having a mom who makes sure the house stays clean. Now it is MY responsiblity because this house is ALL tile, and has an inch of dirt on the floor! Disgusting! If you want it clean, you gotta do it yourself. That's a big rule! haha
I never realized just HOW much, and what my mom and dad did for me while living at home with them! And I just wanted to tell them thank you! Just for EVERYTHING. Even just loving me! And telling me that you loved me constantly! I am so grateful for you guys! And I have NO idea how I would have gotten by without you!
Thank you for teaching me the gospel, and right from wrong. For teaching me to turn to the Lord for guidance, and for ANYTHING really.. For trusting me, for being proud of me, for being a PERFECT example to me. Simply, for LOVING me. You guys are THE BEST parents in the world! And I couldn't have asked for better! I love you guys SOOOO much! Words cannot explain. And I truely appreciaite EVERYTHING!! I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!
....Maybe someday you guys will get lucky and I'll have pictures of my new house and room up for you to see. But for now.. just read =) sorry again..

Cute blog Jen! I should have known it would be black and pink! I'm sorry your family doesn't get to have you at home anymore, but I love the trade off, we get to see you more often!!

Oh my eyes are wet! I can only PRAY that my children will write a post like that some day!! You do have some 'sick' parents I must admit!! It is a whole new world huh? It will get you ready for your own little family, or a mission, or whatever comes your way. It seems like the best things are the hardest things to do!!!! We are rooting for you! Yes, I am dying to see the casa-pictures soon

That's so cool you're working for Natalie & Andy. I obviously think they are among the greatest people in the world! =) Please tell them 'hi' for me. Also, that is so sweet all the stuff you said about your parents. What great people. I'm sure they are very proud of you too!
