If anybody is following this blog, "Hello, long time not write."
Sorry I'm not a very good blogger, obviously.
Life is good though. I am finally using my degree at work and love it. I work at NuSkin in the Product Support department and they are one of the best companies to work for. They have great benefits and care about their employees.
With the last 2 and a half years I have gotten married to Sam Ellsworth, my love, and I gave birth 11 months later to our baby Adelaide that we call Heidi for short. She is growing up so fast. She is so smart and observant. She loves going outside for walks and she is almost walking herself.

My 24th Birthday!
Back-tracking a little bit, I had a wonderful birthday celebration before I left Utah on Friday November 21st. I received flowers, the new DVD "The Errand of Angels," and dinner at Bonsai (a Japanese Grill in Sandy Utah with :9 yummy food and a great show). On my birthday, at home, my Dad gave me just what I asked for...a copy of his life story.
On Thanksgiving day we did our traditional, "John Job Memorial Hike," climbing rocks.
Friday was probably the highlight of the whole trip... I made whole wheat bread, we set up the Christmas tree, made smores over the stove, went for a few walks with Alexia, and Best of all: went to the Redlands Temple with Mom, Dad, and Daniel. It was a blessed experience with us together again in such a special place.

It's great to be home for the holiday (Thanksgiving). Saturday I drove out to California with my niece and nephew (Alexia and Andrew) and watched "Kung Fu Panda."
Sunday morning was so beautiful I was able to go for a walk. I also got to hear my little brother Daniel report to the High Council and speak in church. Most of my family remembered my birthday and served me cake and ice cream. Dad gave me a copy of his life story that I asked him for and we watched "The Errand of Angels," a new DVD about sister missionaries serving in Germany.
Monday was a fun day. After hours of coercion, Alexia persuaded us to go swimming in the freezing cold pool. My excuse was that I forgot to pack my swimsuit but I found some shorts and a t-shirt and went swimming to appease her. We were all freezing from the start but we played whirl-pool tag and warmed up quickly. I ended up being the last one out! We went to the library and got some books and DVDs. Alexia gave us an FHE lesson on Gossip.
Tuesday...I renewed my Driver license (which expired on my birthday) and I had to take a test I wasn't expecting. Luckily I passed. We've got so much zucchini that I made zucchini bread.

Fallen in love
Well, I've been back from my mission for nearly 6 months and I'm still working on my "normal" social skills while trying to be anything but ordinary. I've come to the conclusion that I've fallen in love with dancing. I say fallen because I can't help it. It's so much fun! I don't even need social skills to dance. I could swing dance all day if that were practical...too bad I've got to eat and sleep some time too. LOL. Okay, I'll admit, I love eating also.

A few things I learned today
Today I learned that the original Hebrew meaning of "fear" as used in the scriptures "to fear God" is: "awe," or to hold God in reverence.
I also learned to Beware of the Jolly Rancher. Happy and friendly as they may sound they can be dangerously sharp! Trust me (I know from experience).
It snowed all day today so I decided against walking to work. It was cold! Let's just say that I'm glad I can steer with my knee so that I can sit on my hands while I drive.

First, an Update and Introduction
My name is Evelyn Job. I grew up in Riverside, California and now I live in Draper Utah where I got a job as a van driver at Draper Rehab and Care Center. I absolutely love it. I'm working with Seniors and they have so much character that is easily overlooked.
Yesterday for instance I asked about a man named Lawrence, who I hadn't seen that day. George said, "He took a trip." I said "Oh, where did he go?" He said "Floor-ida." I thought he meant the state but he was saying that Lawrence took a trip and fell on the floor. LOL It made me Laugh Out Loud.
I am renting a room from the greatest family ever (Akagi) and I live about 1.7 miles from work so I can walk it's great! Draper is beautiful and I love it this time of year when the trees are turning orange and red and they look like they're on fire.
Well, that's all for now I'll try to keep you updated though.
