Lake County boys need some help! Today I was being flagged down by a guy in a beat up car while I was getting carts. Other than that work today was okay. life has been hectic with my calling being the Primary Secretary. I am not complaining, it is fun but it is nerve wrecking, sadly, but it is very rewarding. :D In the past year with me working for Publix I finally have had the opportunity in getting to know my fellow associates. They are actually really nice and loving. We just had our picture taken of my sisters and I again on October 31st 2009. This picture is my most favorite one. The holidays of course is the most stressful time for my family, so I will be hearing alot of words being exchanged. Well so far Halloween was good, no one fought and we all actually had fun and got along. The weather is getting cooler finally at last. There is some breeze and for that I am grateful especially for having to go outside in the daytime to help people out to their cars and to get carts. I feel I have grown stronger, more mature, while me being in my calling for Primary. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE.

First day as Primary Secretary
Today was my first day as you can see from the title that is was my first day as the Primary Secretary of the Leesburg Ward. It was nerve recking, because they pushed everything at me all at once I was stunned. I was not expecting to do so much. My day being at church ended around 3:30 - 4:00, and church started at 10:00. It was so much fun I was able to sing some of the primary songs I have not heard or sang in a very long time. I was also amazed at how smart all the kids were and even without the help of the teacher whispering things in their ear. I knew the church was organized I just didn't realize how. Everything is planned and detailed and it is exactly the way it should be. I was just so full of the Spirit when I began my mission as the secretary I was able to see things that I would not have seen before and I was just happy for the things that I know now are finally open unto me, so I can understand what I must do. Everything has a time and a place, the Spirit comes at certain times when we need it and I guess sometimes when we don't. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

To recieve my Endowments
For a while now I have been thinking that maybe I am ready to receive my endowments. Lately I have been trying to raise the bar on my standards, future, hopes and dreams, myself in general, just everything. Right now I feel I am ready to, I know I have to talk to the Bishop and everything but I am willing do whatever it takes. I asked my mom what she thought, I think she was a bit shocked or a bit unprepared how to respond to something like that, well parents aren't perfect and you cant ever expect them to be. How I feel about receiving my endowments, I feel like it is another beautiful part in what Heavenly Father wants for me and if He wants this for me then I know I need to be prepared to receive them and to keep them, to keep the commandments, and to obey what our church leaders tell us to do with a good attitude. One of the main reasons that I want to receive my endowments for is that when I get married my husband will know that I am one of our Heavenly Fathers willing servants, and to show my Heavenly Father that I am ready for what He has in store for me, that I will do whatever He asks of me with an open heart and mind.

Mixed Range
Today I was having a mixed range of emotions and thoughts, like on how people judge others and how I need to improve myself in that area, and how I am trying to get everything situated so Nico can come down and I can start college in the Spring taking correspondence. My family has pushed me in the corner one to many times and I am starting to really see the marks from it all, I am getting depressed, I am mad all the time, I am questioning every single thing I do, more like criticizing myself. I just cannot seem to find a solid foundation for anything I want right now. I know my family in their past have screwed up their lives, because they finally told me, but it doesn't mean that I will make the same mistakes. I have grown from my own to realize the right and wrong for almost every outcome. Working,being with Nico, and the church seem to be the only things that make me happy right now, sadly being home isn't one of them. I want to live my own life, but I cant do that when someone is living it for me. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Life's Plan
Why can't death be a beautiful part of life, the same as birth. To be born we must die, for there is nothing greater to leave behind life to be an example of your own. The natural man frightens the young, to decieve to say what life would be in the future, to stay and build apon it. We can, we can lay a foundation for those to come, a good and solid foundation for this time and our eternal life to come, that which comes from death. Don't be afraid of it, embrace it, for we must live elsewhere and move on....... After every situation today I always kept on saying to myself," It is just life." When really it's not. It is what life has become. Today I had my first encounter with a really well opinionated man he was yelling at Matt, Tiffany, and me for his cab not coming when he wanted it to come. He said to Tiffany," We are stupid." When he was talking well I should say yelling at me he was asking me in a rude response," Do you speak english." When really he was the one with the accent and noone could understand what he was saying. So I just ignored him sadly because it shouldnt have to be that way, people should not have to make a scene and ruin everyone else's day. All what I can do is pray for them, in hoping that they might change and have their heart softened. Well I have to go. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Let it rain
I do not have work today, it feels really nice to have fun and relax. I have been cleaning all day long, it is one of my many hobbies. My room now smells like a (fruity) laundry room, YUM! It has been looking like it is going to rain all day, and I just want it to. Maybe I'll go and sit outside while it is down poring I haven't been able to really enjoy the rain since I was a little girl. I have so many memories of me and sometimes my sisters playing in the rain. Life to me seems much more peaceful when the tears of heaven come falling on a corrupt earth to slow down the moments that are at hand to have a chance to sit and reflect on ones memory, to improve the future or to take one step at a time. Bailey my dog has been sleeping on the floor for a long time and maybe I should put him on my bed, because i just cleaned it and it feels really soft (sighs). Really nothing much is going on today, except for texting on my phone or actually for the first time in forever really having a conversation with my family, and not have it turn into a fight. Got to go it is finally raining and I am going to take in well wear as much of it as I can. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Held back
I finally tonight set up my Publix 401k (retirement) plan with my dad's help, I couldn't understand what all of that stuff meant. I should see on my next pay stub, or on the Internet that it should have something in it. My parents wanted us to have family quality time tonight oh my goodness that was interesting. All what we did was watch a movie, but really you can't do much of anything on a Sunday. I am working tomorrow 2:00 - 10:00. I have not closed in forever, so this is going to be interesting. When I was working Satuday last week it was so hot and I was tired and my eyes started to throb from the sunlight. My vision has been a bit off lately so I am going to see what I can do to protect my eyes at work, because people I have helped out have said that people in their families have serious damage to their eyes because of exposure to the sun, and now they said that they are almost blind so now they have to wear a hat and sunglasses just to protect what vision they have left right before they go blind. Church was fun I have finally been able to see my friends from my previous ward and other wards. I dont get it I feel like a complete stranger around them, I dont know how they have changed how they react to certain things I use to know them like the back of my hand, but with the way that my vision has been going I atleast hope to remember what it looks like. It is just that people have changed and I dont know in what way because I am not with them. I met some people that I was very very close to but when I saw them again for the first time in forever we barely even spoke there was only a hi and nothing else. I want to get back into painting I have my multiple paint brushes in a cup right next to my laptop, sitting there as I am hoping to gain some inspiration. Sometimes I feel as if my parents dont trust me, they say they dont trust the things that may happen, that something may happen on accident but really I am never going to learn a flippin thing if they keep on holding me back. Right now I feel so slow because I am so behind in what I need to do, when I am ready to leave this place I wont look back because He has something planned for me and I want to make sure I have nothing restraining me. I spent last night with Kattie and Jeremy at their apartment. All I can say is that, that night was very interesting they were asking me questions and I was answering them and they were answering mine. After all these years I am able to really know who my older siblings were and are today. All I can say is that I hope I can be an example to them maybe not but you will never know. I have to go Nico is texting me. :P ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

"Turn the other cheek"
Since my last blog post I have reorganized my room, there is less in it now, so I am feeling one more step closer to relaxed. I cannot live in clutter, I just can't. I took everything that was in my dresser and I put my clothes on hangers in my closet. My dresser was originally in my closet because it was so small, but I always just wanted to do this. I forgot that in the bottom of my (use to be) desser drawer I had my grandpa's jacket that my grandma gave to my mom. I guess my grandma wanted my mom to have something of his, because from what I have heard over my years of carefully listening that they were really close. As I oh so gently picked it up, and with a deep breath I was able to smell a scent that I have once forgotten, a scent that will always be a forever memory in my mind. Work is getting better as the days go by, we have some people as I can nicely put it are independant, the people that rudely reject an offer of having help to their car. All I do is smile because I know for a fact that if someone is trying to be dominate over a situation they want the other person to feel small and to hope that they feel insecure, or they do it just to make them feel like crud, just because they are feeling like crud. Remember what they say," Turn the other cheek." Alice at work is trying to hook me up with some guy that she thinks fits her standards, and I have to say she does raise the bar. But I dont know about that. Yeah I respect others input on certain things but there are just some things that you just have to say no to. I havent drawn anything lately I have been way to busy. I am going to be registering to go to Lake Sumter in the spring, I finally have figured out what I want to do for my future career. I want to be a Kindergarden teacher! Wish me luck on that, I'll try to blog again as soon as I can. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Bakery
I didnt have to work today but in a few minutes I will be going somewhere but right now was the best time to write on my blog. Yeah I am currently single again! You know what there are no restrictions that come along with being single! Right now I have some guys that I know that like me for me and I like them. Patience is a virtue and I plan on developing that attribute. Right now I am getting closer and closer on getting my drivers license, I finally have driven on a main road, I was so scared but at the same time I was so happy and I felt like I was flying literally! My store Manager from Publix says I may have a good chance in going to bakery. I want to be a cake decorator! I'm going to have some on the job training and I'm kind of scared but at the end of it all I know everything is going to be fine. I want to go full time an din the bakery I think you get better pay too but you cant get full time as a bagger or cashier, so that was a huge bummer for me. Blog you later. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Future
I know it is like 12:00 in the morning but I couldnt sleep. I cant help but to think where am I going now that I am a year older an age of somewhat maturity in this world. How can I stand out from the crowd, and glorify my Father which is in heaven by the things that I do? How can I improve myself? I am always constantly thinking about my future and of course people my age are suppose to be thinking this stuff, well thats what all the elder people tell me from work. I just want to make this life her on this earth a good one one to remember, some memories I can take with me to the next life and to show my Heavenly Father that I was successful in my workings. Right now I am just focused on a car to buy, my drivers lisence to get in a month hopefully, and to start school in the spring. I am just constantly working, dont get me wrong I love my job and I am extremely grateful for it, but sometimes I get pretty worn out. People at work are dolls and I wouldnt change any of them, well I wish I could change a few but I am not a miracle worker. All what I can do is be nice to them and show them what is right by my actions that I demonstrate whether I am at work or whether I am not at work. Today that sounds kind of funny, today I am going to practice driving alittle bit more with my mom she is more patient thank goodness. I think Im going to be driving her car the Durango on the drivers test. Well I have to go to sleep because church is today and I want to be somewhat awake for it all, so good morning and I will blog as soon as I can. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

It has been a while
Over the past few months there have been trials, emotional rollercoasters, and changes of the heart. My life in ways have been changed at a very quick pace. I have come to understand that life gives you many problems but all you can do that I have figured out to better myself is just to smile and move on. I have come to regret over the past few months of not being able to write on my blog because in the future this may be all what is left of my life and i want it to be know as a life changer for some individuals. Of course just recently I have just had a birthday, my 18th birthday to be exact. Plus I just got my permit and in a month will be getting my Driver's Lisence. Oh yeah. Kattie has been down for two months in Florida to stay finally she has an apartment all up and ready to go, and in a little while Jeremy will be coming to Florida from Hawaii to finaly live with Kattie and the kids. Last but not least I have met a certain someone that I am happy to announce that we are in a relationship, it has only been a little while but I feel realy close to this individual and we plan to be together untill whatever happens. I am glad to be writing back on my Blog and I hope to be writing more soon. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

What in the World
I am going insane as I write. People think things that are not true about me, I think the people at work are not liking me for whatever reason, this is my last year of Seminary and I have to give a talk about it!, my sister is down and my room is a wreck ( I am OCD so there you go ), right now boys are a pain in the butt dont like them at this point hopefully in the somewhere near future, but there are some good points I have gotten successful in my job because I havent been asocciating with the people that I work with, I have been given some blessings for giving this talk. So I guess everything happens for a reason. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

"I'm Working On It"
Lately my mind has been all mixed up, or just really doesnt make any sense. I know its weird but the main cause of it is my room because I try really hard to clean it but it is so small all of my stuff just lays on top of each other, and when I lived in my Eustis home it fit just perfectly. I just feel all cluttered, so I am trying to get rid of things that just seem not to fit or doesnt have a place. But my parents they are like ,"You barely have anything in your room". To me I think I may be clostraphobic I dont know how to spell it, but that is how I feel in my room right now I dont feel accomplished, but then again I probably feel like that for a reason. If I didnt Id probably be a packrat or something, other than my phobia I am doing great just peachy. Oh yeah I went to the dentist 2 days ago and it was hilarious:D My mom was talking to the Sister Ingalls asking her ," So when do you kick Jordan out of the nest AKA the dentist office". They said ,"I can stay there as long as I want, or if I didnt want to go there I didnt have to, or just untill I got married". When I heard that I told them ,"I'm working on it". Because I really dont like the dentist and I know I am going to be going to one for the rest of my life but I dont want to got to a kid one. Your starting to catch my drift now!!!! Work is work, its okay. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Best Buddy
My best buddy at work Alex is leaving us to go to work in the Villages at the chick-fil-a. I am so devistated cause the reason we are so close to each other cause first of all we are very religious, we dont curse like the others at work do meaning we dont curse at all, we talk about things that matter not things that destroy the world, and most of all we are like crazy. We are the only ones at work that act the same as each other, we are conservative crazy. Were not boisterous, like the others. I am getting constantly freaked out at work all the time you wanna meet every type of person in the world do what I am doing I have met pervs, democratic, republican, old, young, rude beyond belief, kind as an angel, mentally insane, practical people. I am so tired I can hardly stay awake any longer. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

And I hope to take pictures on the Trek just so I can put them on my Facebook and Blog. Work is interesting. I am in the fall going to Lake Sumter for Photography, my parents are paying for the first year cause in the first year I have to save up for a very high quality camera and a new laptop, lets just say noone will be getting near those items, you will have to see them with binoculars! I know it is what I love and what I know I can exceed at. Now I am getting ready for Trek and work, have a nice time until I blog again! ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Been Sick
I havent been able to write on my blog cause I have been sick lately and oh yeah work. I am so excited for the Prom, Trek, and Girls Camp. I am doing it all, and it is my last year too, so this makes all the more special! Work has been alright I havent been able to be at my fullest because of my cold, but I hope to get over this before tomorrow when I have to work cause it makes my hours seem longer. And I am working 2:30 - 10:00 tomorrow so I really do hope I feel better. I havent been able to go to church cause I am doing the whole common curtosy thing and not trying to spread this illness anymore. Plus I think it is from all the weather changes, people can still catch it from each other still. I already have my dress for Prom I think I already made a note of that but any way if you have forgotten, it looks awesome. This will be my first Trek experience so I am so so so so so so so excited! I am so not going to be a cashier at work cause there is just so much to memorize and say and do and make sure they are not a fraud. So I will stay a bagger untill I am 18 then I will be going into the Bakery hopefully. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

The little girl!
Monday I went to the Publix next to the Lake Square Mall, because they didnt have enough baggers so Lindsay called me our Assisstant Front Service Manager and she asked if I could work on my day off so I said yes cause I need the hours but the thing that really touched me working there the reason why I am sharing this, is because of this little girl while I was at that store this little girl was in my line and she was so perky and so adorable she was wearing pink glasses, pink hair tie, pink earrings, and pink tights. I asked the little girl on our way out the door while I was helping her and her mom what was her favorite color and of course she said pink but she said if she didnt get pink she would get purple and if she didnt get purple he would get red. We got to the car and I put her things in the car, and while this was going on the little girl lost her balloon, her mom tried to get it back for her but failed to do so. So I asked her if she wanted me to get her another one and she said yes so I ran back to the store and got her her favorite colors that I was so thankful to remember. She gasped with joy and said thank you, and I asked for a hug and she she gave me one and we are now best friends after that moment on, but the cool thing was while I was working at my own store I saw her there we hugged and she was so happy to see me and I was with her. I asked if she would like to get a balloon and her and her mom said yes! I went over to the balloons with her and she picked out the same balloons that I picked for her last time. I asked if I could help them to the car and her mom said no this time, but she begged for me to come but instead of me going I gave her a hug goodbye and I do hope to see her again. Oh yeah I got to go on the register for a sec. Robyn was teaching me how to. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Valentine PUDDING!
Yesturday Emily and I went to the Evans home and had a huge pudding fight it was awesome I so wish we can do that again! It was all over me most of it was on my chest from people throwing it at me. IT WAS SO COLD (the pudding)! Today was awesome to I guess I worked but I made it a little more interesting I made myself known you can say, to put it lightly. I went to all the registers helped everyone that I could, I just went insane. Everyone thought I was hilarious. And I finally got to go on a register just for a sec. I did a few items for Sandy, and I went on a beverage check as they call it but I call it a ID check. And gues what Luke finally worked the same day as I did he is so nice and so honest I can talk about him for hours but I wont, we went on the beverage check together and it was so much fun it felt like I was in school and I was going on feild trip, awesome I know. I bought a pink rose for my mom after work, and I bought my nerds (Emily & Sarah) some nerds of their own. ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Finally some rest
I actually in forever finally slept in today! I am reading the Harry Potter books they left out so much stuff from the books to put into the movies. We went to the new Sams it was ok, it wasnt that much different from the other ones except the front looked so much more better. I absolutely love to grow vegetables so I am going to be growing 100% Organic tomatoes and cucumbers, and my dad has these other seeds that he wants me to grow (peppers). Last time I grew just cucumbers during the hottest part of the year in between April to July. They were a success I harvested 15 - 20 cucumbers! I bought Sarah an outfit. I bought raspberries and blackberries from Sams for me, myself alone to indulge in. I have been craving fruit like it was going out of style! Today was a rest from Tyler and Emma, they will drive a sane person up the wall! Church is tomorrow! ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Gospel deprived :(
Church has been alright lately, dont get me wrong I absolutely LOVE church I even cried when I couldnt go to Seminary one morning about a week ago at 5:30am cause Emily and I were sick. It is just that I wish the youth here would kind of grow up, I am not pointing any fingers at any specific person. You know I have been working alot lately so I have been of the world at that time, and I just crave the gospel when I can, but that is not what they are letting me do, so in the cause of that my testimony has not been as strong as it should be. Seminary is the same as Sunday try to get the most out of it that I can. Cause I see it as if I miss a lesson I miss an opportunity to get closer to my Heavenly Father/Savior, or the chance to gain more knowlegde of the gospel cause as we all know that is the only thing we can take with us (so I want to fill it full)! I know I can read my scriptures and my patriarchal blessing to feel closer to Him, but alot of times I just dont have enough hours in the day for it, but I do try my best to feel the spirit on my own time sometimes at work like helping someone, or smiling at someone cause even though they dont smile back there is a chance you have made their day! :) ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Remodeling..... And the Ace of Cakes!



I am redoing my room I am finally getting all of my pieces of the room together. I am so happy the way it is turning out. The whole color scheme is orange, black, grey, and white. Oh man Kattie called today and said that she is going to see the people from Ace of Cakes in Hawaii on base, she got to see the host of the show ( I cant remember his name), Mary-Alice, Jeff, and the crew. She took pictures of them as they were getting autographs. The host said That Nana would win the cutest shirt contest if there was one, her shirt said cute as a cupcake and it had a cupcake on it. They made a helicopter cake and the propellers actually spun around that was the cool part Kattie said. Nana says they are #1 I so totally agree. We got to see the kids on the web cam they are getting so big!!!! ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!Posted by Jordan Mathews at 1:45 PM 0 comments

The Swamp
As you know whoever read my preveious blog knows that I just went to UF. Well it is no surprise but it was flippin awesome. I got to see were Tim (#15) eats on campus, we got to go to a dance it felt long and very much to anyones surprise I wanted it to end soon. I got to see the football stadium (swamp) only from the entrance we couldnt go any furthur, unless we had powers I would so go through them bars. The Pixie Stix were a huge hit karli took them like they were shots it was hilarious. We got to meet the person that dresses up as Albert the alligator (mascot), he is a mormon so I am thinking mormons rule the school. One guy from institute asked me to dance, and one guy asked me if I would like to get a drink with him, that nerd was just a dirty charmer, after a while he started to dance with another girl that was beyond church standard. Im just thinkin dont come back over here, so I ignored him the rest of the time for what he did. He just kept on staring at me the rest of the time. I am without a doubt going to be going to UF after I am done with Lake Sumter, of course I would have to transfer schools but hey we are talking home of the Gators. I AM SO THERE! April's hair is so short it is literally half an inch all around. Speaking of hair, I cut my hair it is so easy to work with it only taking me an hour total with the shower and doing the dew. I am so happy that it only takes me that long!ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

It took a Blessing............ (January 18th)
Just to let you know I STILL HAVE THE GRAPEFRUIT! Today I went to church thinking in a regular thought I'm going to get a Patriarchal Blessing. Getting into more of the day at church it started to open my eyes, cause at the very end of church I was excited thinking to myself I am getting a Patriarchal Blessing! I planned to right after church was that I was going to do the reading assignments that the Bishop asked me to do, to better prepare myself for it. So I went onto www.lds.org went to the Gospel Library on Patriarchal Blessings and read every talk that there was on it. Reading the talks I started to feel the spirit knowing that what was going to happen is going to be one of the most exciting things that is going to happen in my entire life here on this earth! On the reading list there were some scriptures to read so I read those as well, to get the full benefit of it! I know I am never going to forget this day January 18th @ 4:00pm, a day to always remember. Knowing that this is the day the Lord personally communicated with me to guide me and give me comfort. Right after the blessing Patriarch Rotti said "I dont normally do this but is it alright if I give you a hug and a kiss." I said "Ok." I am so excited at the end of the week to be getting my Patriarchal Blessing on paper so that I can read it every day, and know what I must do to return to live with him! ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Grapefruit and a Blessing!
GUESS WHAT I STILL HAVE THE GRAPEFRUIT! And another great thing is that we have finally set a date for my patriarchal Blessing it is going to be on a Sunday of course, the 18th. I am so excited! They say you need to be spiritualy prepared for it and I finally feel ready, I just hope others dont get it just to get it. Cause then they just dont fully appreciate it! I painted something today it is a hand stretching for a little fragment of light, with a black background. I finally have bought the Twilight CD and I just listened to it and it is awesome I love Decode by Paramore. I know everyone likes that song who wouldnt you know. Plus I bought Hairspray for my sisters cause I knew she wanted to see it again so badly. A lady at work (Donna) wants me to draw her grandchildren I think on a wooden board, what a challenge that will be for me! ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!

Random
I have been working like crazy lately. There is this really cute guy at my work his name is Luke, everyone even says we would look cute together. I found him one day looking at me. I started to melt. This customer that I was helping to the parking lot, she said that I should be a model Im just thinking I know she is mean, but cruel. Cause I know I wouldnt be able to do that. and oh yeah.............. I HAVE A WHOLE LOAD OF GRAPEFRUIT ALL FOR MYSELF! Dad got it today at church. Noone likes grapefruit in my family so I am the luckiest fruit lover in the world right now. I had a bad day today I dont know why but I did. I am so exhausted right now I feel so random as you can tell by my blog, ALOHA, ADIOS, & BYE!
