SUPER Sonic


Today I left Sonic Drive-In as an employee for the last time. I said good-bye to all my coworkers and clocked out for the last time. It was definitely a bittersweet experience as I have been a part of Sonic for almost 2 years now, but I am definitely excited for a new experience.
It was June 2013 when I sent in one of many applications to Sonic hoping that one of the applications would turn into a job. I didn't even know if I would stay in California but I needed a job and Sonic was definitely a place I enjoyed eating at. I then received a call, had an interview and got my first job as a carhop for Sonic Drive-In for the upcoming San Marcos store! Considering this was my first job I was extremely nervous but things went well enough for them to keep me this long :)

Sonic has given me so many amazing opportunities as I have trained at 3 stores and worked at 5 of the 9 locations here in southern California. I have also had the amazing opportunity to help with orientations at the corporate office and I am very well known among many of "big" people in the corporation. 

I have learned how to skate with food, talk to people and actually enjoy it, make loads of ice cream (and to be honest I actually love this part), and work with people with different views and insights.

I have made some amazing friends and I am honestly so blessed to have had these opportunities present themselves in my life so I could grow.

Through the past year and 9 months I have been blessed with a job that not only gave me money to pay for school and other things, but I have been blessed with a job that taught me so much about working hard and loving to do it.
As I left my store today I was filled with both joy and sadness. 

Joy because I couldn't ask for a better door to have opened itself up to me for further progression.

Sadness because all those I have met in the past and all those I have worked with definitely left a lasting impression and I will miss them all.

It was my pleasure to work at Sonic for the last 2 years, and I can't wait for the super sonic things that await :)

Peace Be Unto Thy Soul

I have been trying to think of the words for this post for a few weeks now... I know we may think in these times that we have been abandoned, but we haven't been! I think of Joseph Smith when he asks, "O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?" But the Lord answers telling us to  have peace ! He says, "...thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high..." I am so grateful for the knowledge I have that there is a true prophet on this earth and that he receives true revelation from the Lord for us, and for ME. I wouldn't be who I am today without this gospel. This past Sunday, like many other members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my family had the amazing opportunity to hold our Sunday Service in our home. It was amazing to see the hand of the Lord in all of these changes as we met together in my pa...

The Beautiful Struggle of Life

Image
This week will be three weeks since I was released as a Young Church Service Missionary in the GREAT San Diego YCSM Mission. As I had my exit interview with my Mission President (and many other interviews for that matter) he told me that he hopes the year after being released is the hardest year. Well he'll be glad to hear that this last three weeks have been rough... I'll definitely say that I've been oh so blessed! I have so many great friends and family members who have been nothing but supportive as I have been awkwardly transitioning from Full-Time Service Missionary to Full-Time Adult. I've had one too many emotional breakdowns and I've probably had absolutely no reason for the majority of them. I bring up my mission EVERY chance I get. I also still look for my name tag on my chest when wearing church dress. THIS. IS. HARD. I've always been the type to have a plan, even if it wasn't the Lord's plan. I've had a plan for me and where...

It's Not The End

"Everything has a happy ending. If you're not happy, it's not the end."  This is what I read the other day as I was eating some Dove chocolate and reading the cute notes on the wrappers. It is funny to me how impeccable God's timing can be. I have had a rough few weeks and to be completely honest it involved a lot of crying , throwing things (mainly tissues), and asking God not only "why," but for as much strength as He could possibly give me. It is a joke in the military that when your spouse leaves something bad is bound to happen. I feel like I have spent the last few weeks dealing with trouble after trouble. It started out simple, I locked my keys inside my car. Luckily I was at work and I was trying to get myself to see that small positive (shout out to AAA). Then there were MULTIPLE spiders. Those who know me, know I do not do spiders. I would rather burn the house down. But I was brave and I used the vacuum and took care of that problem. Next, ant...
