I apologize for not updating my blog for an entire month! My laptop is officially trash!! Yes, that is right, my hard drive crashed. So, I have lost everything and I am trying to remember all my passwords for all the different sites that I use. It has been quite an adventure.

My life...hasn't really changed a lot since I wrote something on here. Rob and I have officially stopped talking...at all. Work is going well. Life is...good.

I found out that a very good family friend died and all I wanted to do was go home (to Texas). I am intensifying my search for jobs in Texas. I have found some great opportunities, but we will see what happens.

I am at the library, so I have a time limit and that is just about up. I hope this finds everyone in good spirits and good health. Love you all and can't wait to see all of you at Christmas!

Well, today was a little better. Rob and I are on talking terms, but there is still a lot of tension between us. I think that I have pretty much decided to tell him that it is time for me to back away from the whole situation and for us both to figure things out on our own. We are both at different stages of our lives and he doesn't need one more thing to worry about right now. Besides, I have to figure out what God wants for me...not what I want for me! (I know I am repeating myself from yesterday, but this is something I have to remind myself of often!)

Anyway, enough about Rob and the drama in my life!

I got to talk to a really good friend of mine tonight. I haven't talked to him in awhile and I definitely missed our conversations. He and I always have the most wonderful, God filled, and lengthly conversations. This boy and I stayed up until 8:00 in the morning one time when I lived in OKC. It was a blast!!

He always helps me clear my head and refocus on what is important...God! He is going to do such great things for the Lord! His heart is so pure and so filled with a desire to do nothing outside of God's will. He never plans...just waits. I learn so much from him every time we talk. I thank God for people like him in my life.

Well, I'm off to bed! Goodnight!

YAY!!! LJ IS PREGNANT!!!!! WOOHOO!!!! :) I love you sister!

Well, this past week and weekend can be summed up in one word...DRAMA! My goodness...

I must be the type of person that just attracts drama. No matter what I do or who I hang out with...there it is...following me like some little annoying fly...ugh!

So, you wonder what kind of drama is occuring in Denver, CO? I'll tell you! First, things at work couldn't be more political, but where is it not, and it seems that I have signed myself up for more than I can handle. Actually, it's more like they have assigned me more than I can handle. Oh well, I guess I just have to make the best of what I've got and let them know that I am just one person...not an entire department!

Second, my personal life. Now, I know this is a favorite subject of everyone's since my personal life always seems to get screwed up somehow. Well, this weekend the timeline went something like this...

Friday: Rob and Jana Kay get in a huge fight and decide to go their separate ways.
Saturday: Jana Kay goes to the first swim meet of the season anyway to support the swimmers.
All the swimmers want to know why she is sitting in the stands and not on the deck
like all the other coaches.
Rob and Jana Kay talk after the meet is over and Jana Kay surprisingly keeps her cool
and doesn't yell at Rob.
Sunday: Jana Kay returns to the meet and sits on deck with the swimmers and is able to coach.

Happy ending...sort of...

Jana Kay is still rethinking her commitment to the team and how much time that requires around Rob. Jana Kay is thinking it is time to step back and think about her own life and where God wants her to go and what His purpose for her is.

So, after all that, I am taking time to listen to God and find out what exactly His purpose is for me. I am being pulled in several different directions and I am having a hard time even forming a complete thought. I feel like my world is spinning so fast that I can't even open my eyes to get an idea of what is happening around me.

Just pray for me! Love you all!! :)

My home phone isn't working right now...use my cell!! :)

This is my first post in awhile, and I do apologize! My life has been...well, my life!

Since the last time I posted an entry on here I can't really say that I have done a whole lot, but I have been busy and couldn't tell you exactly why. It has been several of those kind of days!

Right now, I am faced with a huge decision. It is a career decision, so please be praying for me. For those of my sisters I have not talked to yet...just wait, I'm calling this week (you too Dadda)! :) Just pray that you will be open to what is said and that I in turn will be open to what you have to say about the choices.

I am so completely drained of all brain power and energy right now. I have several little projects going at work and then the personal life added to that never makes it easier! I am having fun though. I am finding time to have a social life and branch out! Yes, I actually have a life!! :)

It is sleepy time now as I have to get up early in the morning for a presentation at work.

Love you all and kisses to everyone! :)

So, I haven't exactly gotten better at posting these everyday. I will get better I promise! :)

Bob (my former boss) came back to work today. He has finally gotten his parents somewhat settled at his house and felt that he was able to come in. I am really glad that he did because it was nice to be able to tell him about the changes at the credit union and not have to worry about him finding out some other way. He took the news okay. He isn't really happy about the changes, but he has a meeting with the boss lady tomorrow to talk it out. He is also going to address some H.R. issues that need to be dealt with concerning the way that I was treated while he was gone.

You know, I say a lot of bad stuff about work because of all the things that have been happening. There are a couple of good things about it too. One is that there are some really dynamic and talented people working there. They are determined, creative, and energetic. I really hope that they can turn the credit union around like they want to. Another good thing is that people are starting to open up more to training and they aren't as negative about it anymore. I like to believe that I had something to do that. ;)

It is a very interesting place to work and I wish them all the best of luck. I don't know how much longer I will be here, but I am going to make the most of it.

I have been named the Chairman of Fundraising for X-Swim (Robie's team). I am also helping out with coaching a little more consistantly since Brandon left. I love that team! The kids are so wonderful!! I am thankful that Rob and I have been able to stay friends and that I am still able to support the team. So far, we have had a car wash and we raised a lot of money from that. We also had a bake sale and I am selling the left overs at work. (Those people love to eat!) We are really bringing in some good money and I really haven't had to do a lot. The fundraisers I'm coming up with are great because the swimmers and parents are the ones who do all the work! :) It allows me to do my full-time job and contribute something to the team without getting overwhelmed or obligated in too many areas (that was for you Mom).

I am going to start training in the mornings again so that I don't try and cram everything into my schedule for after work. As complicated as life is at work right now, things are really working out well for me. Thank you everyone for the prayers and thoughts as I have been going through this ordeal!

I love you all and miss you lots!! :) Sweet dreams...

So, it has been awhile since I have written anything on here...8 days to be exact! Sorry to leave you all hanging, but I have had one heck of a week!!

For all of you left on the edge of your seats...I got next to last in Fantasy Football for the first week! :( Oh well...It only gets better from here! :)

Work...oh good ol' work. In the past week my title has changed from Training Coordinator to Training Education Specialist (I actually had to convince them to give me that title instead of the longer one Training Education and Business Development Specialist), my boss has changed (I now work under Janie who is our VP of marketing and sales instead of Bob, VP of HR), and ladies...just ask me about the man in uniform!

So, needless to say I have been on an emotional rollercoaster with no brakes! This is the first time that I have had the chance to even think about updating everyone who might read this. I figured I should get to it since I have my family reading this and they like to know what is happening. Sorry Family!!!

Now I am starting to ramble. I believe it is time to go to bed because my brain is shutting down. It keeps doing that lately without any warning. I need a recharge so badly!!! Christmas can't come soon enough!!

Love you all...kiss your children and hug each other for me. I miss you all so much!!

Well, I decided to go with Roy Williams tomorrow instead of David Givens. We'll see how my first line up does! The first game is tomorrow, so I am on the edge of my seat! :)

Today was interesting. I went into work early and got a few things done before I had to start my full day of training in Credit. About lunch time I started feeling pretty rotten and took the rest of the day off to rest. I stayed home and slept! Well, actually I talked to DL for awhile and then slept! It has been nice to get to chat with her on messenger every once in awhile.

I guess I should get to bed so that I feel like waking up in the morning. I'm still feeling kinda woozy, so I hope this goes away by morning!

Goodnight!

Well, I submitted my first line up for the season today! I am excited to see how this all turns out. I think it will be a good experience overall. :) Although, I do have a questionable player on my roster. David Givens...he is having chest pains...come on...doesn't he know that I'm counting on him?! Anyway, It isn't that big of a deal I guess, I do have Roy Williams waiting to step in for him.

Brother-In-Laws and Dadda: Don't be surprised if I give you a few calls during the season...I might need some help! :)

Today was pretty busy at work. All I did was sit with our new I.S. team member as she observed the credit department, but I feel like I was going all day non-stop! Tomorrow, I am doing the same thing and will continue to do that for the next three weeks as she visits all the departments, plus all the other training that has been scheduled. This should be interesting.

My boss took off last week to get his parents out of Louisiana where they were staying in a hotel because they had lost everything. Their entire house is under water and they were basically homeless and his mother has Parkinsons (or however you spell it...Dava Lynn...:) ). Then, on their way back, their car broke down in Memphis. So, needless to say, I will be covering for my boss until next week! Please keep that family in your prayers! They are really needing it right now.

Well, I better get some sleep! This is going to be a long week!

So, today, for Labor Day, I finished unpacking most of my boxes and cleaning up my new apartment. Then, I went to Castle Rock to participate in my first ever Fantasy Football Draft!! Yes, brother-in-laws...I am now the coolest sister-in-law you have or ever will have!! :) It was very interesting. Nothing like what I thought it would be. Basically, all the guys hated me by the end of it because, apparently, I was taking all the best players. Whatever! They got Payton Manning! Anyway, I ended up pretty well off! They were all raving about what a great team I had and how it was probably the best in the league...blah blah blah. They were just saying that because I'm cute...right Dava Lynn!? ;) Just kidding! :) I had a blast!!

Tomorrow it is back to work. I have so much coming up in October that I am not sure September will be long enough to get ready for it all. It is amazing how life has its seasons (okay not actually spring, summer, etc. seasons). It seems that life calms down for just a month or so and then time just speeds up. I can't imagine what it is like for all of my sisters being mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters!! I admire you all! :)

Well, I think that is it for tonight. I'm exhausted and I have to be ready for a busy week ahead of me! Good night!! :)

I don't really have a lot to say today. Yesterday was pretty uneventful and today was the same. It has been great to just relax. I guess I'll just keep relaxing for the rest of today! WooHoo!

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do tomorrow for Labor Day?! :)

Wow...It is one o'clock in the afternoon and I am already exhausted! I am babysitting the empty branch again today and didn't get over here until about 12:30pm. This morning was crazy!! My boss is out of town and so is Rich (our maintanance guy). So, this morning about 9:15am two men walk into the lobby ready to check our sprinkler system for the fire alarms. I had no idea they were coming! Kathy (our branch manager) and I had to hunt down the information needed to get ahold of the fire alarm company and by 10:00am the men were testing our system. By about 10:15am I had opened every door they needed access to and was on my way to the other branches to do the mail run (which was supposed to take place at 9:30am). By 11:00am I was back at the main branch delivering mail around the building. After being stopped about a million times by different people who needed something else done "before you go over to the other branch" it was noon and way past time for me to leave! I am finally over here having some peace and quiet for the rest of the day. I sure can't wait until Bob (my boss) gets back. I sure don't envy him with all the high demands everyday!

Anyway! I am now able to sit and relax in the quiet, lonely branch! I get internet tonight at my apartment!! :) WooHoo!! :) Now I will have something to do at home besides watch movies and read.

Now that I have completely rambled on and bored everyone reading this...I will go now. Have a wonderful weekend and Labor Day!! :)

Tonight after work I went to help Robie with swim practice. Brandon, the assistant coach, is really giving him problems. I hope this gets sorted out quickly!

I am thankful that this is a long weekend!! Thank you Labor Day! :) It is a much needed break.

Tina from work has a bunch of furniture that she needs to get rid of, so I am going over there Sunday to see if I want any of it. Maybe I'll find something...

Right now I am so tired and it is so late that I really have no idea what I am writing. I hope I don't regret this in the morning!! :) Just kidding!

Tomorrow I am looking forward to a day for just Skye and me! I figure I will take her up to the mountains one more time before it gets too cold. Although, these gas prices are killing!! Maybe I should save the gas and not take her. It is already at an average of $3.00 per gallon here. It is crazy!

Alright, I guess it is time for bed...I'm starting to ramble. Night everyone!!

So, yesterday, Amy and I were chatting online and were really really really bored. We got on the subject of blogs and how everyone was creating their own blogs these days. So, we got the bight idea to make one ourselves! WooHoo! :) So, here I am, putting my first entry in. I am sitting at work "babysitting" the branch that we closed in May! It is so boring over here. Anyway, I will have internet hooked up at my apartment tomorrow, so I will be able to update everyone at the end of my days from now on. :) Hope you enjoy...Amy!! :)

If you were wondering...this is a BatFox!! :) 

another of my baby! 

This is Skye, my pride and joy! 

This is me in 2002 I think. I really need to get updated pictures!
