Week 3/ Trying to go to church/ A little homesick/ Happy & hard days!

SUCCESSFULLY AMAZING!!! So this morning I woke up thinking I really hope the roads are clear so I can go to church and meet people. They were clear and I DID make friends!!! (Keep in mind this is a family ward) I had a guy come up to me and invite me to the YSA Singles Group FHE which was tonight and which is perfect because it's on Sunday's and doesn't coincide with my work schedule if it were Monday's! So anyways this guy introduced himself and welcomed me and this other lady came up and shook my hand and gave me a hug and welcomed me!! It really brightened my day! I fit in perfectly!! Everyone was super nice and wait for it....I met a girl who is ALSO a live in nanny and is from Utah! Kinda perfect right!! And she is like 3 weeks older than me haha she is wonderful! We went to the bishops house and played phase 10 and Bananagrams and talked it was so fun then we went to FHE and had dinner and dessert and talked and got to know each other it was so fun! So far best day I've had since being here! I am so blessed and I know Heavenly Father is watching over me and blessing me over and over because I made it through that tough trial I had this last year! I couldn't be more happy here! I just love it! 

Anyways so this past week everyone in the family had the stomach flu but me(knock on wood) it's been a crazy week I did get very homesick on Tuesday night because my day was immensely rough and when I got up to my room I just started to cry! I miss my family so much but I love it here so much that my homesickness isn't so much that I am wanting to go home! The family is so amazing and they made me feel comfortable!! I know I'm supposed to be here! My days and job is not easy but I wouldn't give it up!! I love it, most days it's just very trying most of the time! The kids are very hard and very busy! But I love them to pieces!! 

So this coming week we are supposed to get a HUGE snow storm of 14-24 inches starting tomorrow at noon and going until 6pm on Tuesday! Crazy right! So I will be stuck in the house for 2 days! Not fun! But oh well! 

I am still loving it here so much! I am grateful for everyone who supports me and encourages me on hard days! I am grateful for my parents for always answering the phone when I call sometimes that's all I need is to just hear their voice! I couldn't ask for better supportive parents! Love you mommy and daddy!! 😘😘❤️❤️

Well I gotta head to bed, again I love you all! I will try and update weekly unless I don't have anything new happen!

Hello Everyone!!

I made it through my first full week! It was hard but that's because I am still learning their schedules and personalities and what not. They are both very busy kids, but seriously the cutest!! I am so grateful to be here and get to know and be a part of this families lives. They are so amazing and fun! I am surprisingly not homesick but I think it's because they are making me feel very comfortable here and cared about. The first few days it was weird living in a strangers house but I've gotten used to it and all is well and I am very happy!!

Today I was unable to go to church because the roads are pure ice outside and we got a notification from the kinnelon police department that we are to stay in doors until it warms up and is safe to drive! Crazy right!! You look outside and you can see very well that there is ice all over the roads and they are very glossy! If you look close on the road you can see the white spots which is ice but it's all over the closer you look! The neighbor walked outside to his car and he was having to hold onto his car the whole time. This weather is crazy!!

Be safe everyone!! 

Love you all,

Week 1

Well I finally made it here to NJ and I absolutely love it here it is SUPER cold but it's good! I have only been here 2 full days and the kids already love me. I am so happy, today my boss was making tacos for dinner and the little boy Dan walks in the kitchen and says mom are you making Tacos for me and Corinne?? And then he came up and gave me a hug it was so cute! I am having so much fun! There are times where it is going to be very challenging but it will be good too! :)

I am so grateful for the little blessings in my life! Life is great! 

Love you all!! ❤️
