Last week was really hard.
Olivia keep's crying because "there is nothing to do."
I quit my job at NuSkin after 15 1/2 years.
A childhood friend died last Wednesday morning from sudden cardiac arrest. He was 35 with a wife, 3 children and one on the way. He kissed his wife goodnight and when she woke up in the morning he was gone.
~I told Olivia if she didn't find something to do I would give her something to do.
~I am so happy I quit my job. The office management has gotten increasingly worse over the last few years and I was struggling with my Japanese calls. They refused to take me off the Japanese line, so I quit. I didn't even give my two weeks notice. Hah! Shove it NuSkin!
~My friend Justin was just about as perfect as a person could be on earth. It is tragic that he died and left behind a beautiful family. I know there is a purpose for it, but oh, it breaks my heart. The day he died, his mother, who also helped raise me, found out she has bone cancer and she and her husband would have to come home from their mission in Rome. Triple tragic day.
It is so weird to feel so sad and so happy all at the same time. Dealing with crazy kids, quitting my job and losing a friend really makes me feel like I am riding an emotional roller coaster. Up and Down, up and down. I think I'm going to be sick.

Shannon,
I find that in the midst of the up and downs, Heavenly Father is preparing you for something greater. What seems hard today will seem like nothing tomorrow. Lately I tend to think to take in those up and down moments because it means you are still you. It means that Heavenly Father hasn't given up on you and still wants you to become better than the already amazing person that you are. Hang in there, the good thing is it will always get better.
Sometimes we just get to ride the waves and learn that the journey is teaching and preparing us for the person that God has for us to become. Loss is always hard and very draining on the emotions. It is hard to understand the reason for things but do know that God knows us and wants us to be happy. Love yea
Shannon- that breaks my heart! Life is precious and I guess none of us never know. I agree w/ Kimberly- you are being prepared for something greater :)
I can't believe you quit, way to go! (hopefully you are feeling good about it :)
Derick told me about what happened to your friend from Colorado..... I am so sorry to hear.
