Vicci is amazing! (with God nothing is impossible)

EARLY Tuesday Oct 7 Vicci informed me she was moving to Provo and asked me to buy her a ticket. She could pay me back with her upcoming paycheck. After waking up Kevin in Waco and discussing it with him we decided it would be better for her to find her own way to buy the ticket. Saturday she was on the plane with a little money in her pocket to hold her over till Wed (payday).
Vicci spent the first couple of days cleaning cooking and entertaining Danielle and her roommate Julia. They were having a great time.
Tuesday morning she got a call for an interview as a leasing agent at an apartment complex (she had sent her resume to every complex in Provo she could find before leaving Houston). I got a tear filled call from her. She had been walking for 30 minutes and just realized she was going the wrong way. I encouraged her to call the manager and explain she would be late and turn around. The interview went well but she still had over a mile to walk home. Her feet were blistered and she was miserable. Luckily Danielle was able to bring her some sensible shoes to make the last few blocks more bearable.
Wednesday they wanted her to come in and meet the big boss. I put a few dollars in an account for her to buy a bus pass. She simply could not walk that far on her blistered feet. 30 minutes later Vicci was on the phone crying her eyes out and ready to come home. The grocery store she walked to would not have bus passes until the next month. I suggested she call Grampa who has ridden the bus quit a lot. Nana answered and was thrilled to pick Vicci up and take her to the interview.
The big boss was listening to Vicci talk with the manager from the other room. She walked in and hired her without another word! Sounds easy get a job in the first 5 days but it Wasn't easy. I know she is seeking and following sacred promptings. This week she is teaching everyone in the office how to use their computer program. They have been using all paper because no one in the office knows how to use the software. Success--Go Vicci!

Now the fun begins

This week I helped Vicci get her things out of storage and sell them or pack them away in the attic. Saturday she left for Provo. She is now showing Provo what it means to have fun and feeding Danielle better food than I make.  All while looking for a job and learning what it means to be so cold you need a coat and mittens (something thats hard to even IMAGINE in Houston). 
With Kevin in Waco M-F and the kids in school I will have to be very creative to avoid those things I don't really want to do.  But have faith, my avoidance techniques are honed to an art form. This blog and Facebook will fit in perfectly. 
Seriously, I am looking forward to getting into a schedule and having the time to do some things I love like sew, garden, read, have friends, workout, go to the temple, and volunteer at the school a little bit.  I'd love to figure out how to be a better housekeeper and have more time to have fun when the kids get home from school too.  I love ALL the things I do I just wish I could do them BETTER. 

Last night I went to the adult session of stake conference on my motorcycle. It is so fun! I just put a full skirt on over capris and pulled it up for the ride.  I do hate getting ready and leaving the house but riding makes it easier to get motivated.  The conference was well worth it.  Our stake President talked about reading the scriptures and he is such a real person, so accessible.  He gets me every time.  (add individual scripture study to the list)
