Today is my 2nd night of 7 that I have to work. It's been really hard to sleep during that day but I am enjoying what I do. The Sgt. today came up to me and told me I was doing a good job. I was really happy to hear that. It makes me think that the move that I have done is a good one. Hopefully in a few months I can test again for deputy and this time I pass all that is required. I KNOW I'LL PASS!!
I am enjoying this job. :0)

An Old chapter closes and the start of a new one beggins
It's official. I gave my 2 weeks notice to the City of Orem on Monday June 13th. I was told I have to give a resignation letter so I wrote one up. I think I did a very good job at it too. I am happy to be starting a new career but sad to leave the great people that I worked with in Orem.
I am happy to join the County Sheriff's office. I hope to progress and do well in all they teach me. I hope to advance and be a greater and better person.....OK what is with me I feel like I'm writing a speech for a graduation class or something!! Damn! so I took this new job, I'm excited about it, it's fast moving and a great opportunity for advancement. That's always a bonus!! I hope I do a great job at it. I'm really quite nervous but I think that once I get the hang of it I will like it even more. as for now; I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's a lot of stuff for a person to know......I wonder why they don't pay more to start?????
I'm happy to start on July 5th; we'll see what happens from there.

MMA-Mixed Martial Arts
I took Abraham, Javier and Grandpa Abraham to a MMA fight this past weekend. I LOVED it and I know that the others did as well.
Abraham liked it so much he joined the MMA team Unbreakable so that he could fight when he's 18 years old. I am really excited to see what he learns. I can't believe it.....but I do support him in all he does just as I would hope he would support me in my derby tryouts and my derby team.
He's an awesome kid!!

Takin it all in.....
With the kids out of school and me training for a new job, It's been a little hard to blog. Let's see....the kids were out of school on the 29th of May....it was a very exciting and emotional day for me. My baby is now going to be in Jr. High and my other baby is going to be in High School!! Wow how time flies.
I will see about posting pictures but I want to blog a little more than I usually do.
I'm training for the booking clerk job at the jail. It's a little overwhelming because there is a lot of info to learn but I know I can do it!! I have a great teacher and great helpers. I know that I will be asking a lot of questions along the way but I anticipate that I will do this job well.
I enjoy working at the jail believe it or not. It's a good work environment and I don't feel bad for one person that is in there. They made their bed and now they have to live with what they have done.
I heard a good quote the other day by Abraham Lincoln.....When I do good I feel good, when I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion....isn't that great!!

June-AND ITS COLD!!
It's June 3rd. Friday. By this time it should be really warm. ITS NOT!! I'm so ready for summer. I want to lay out and take in the sun. I have been thinking about a small business. It seems like my paycheck is getting smaller and smaller and the bills are getting BIGGER AND BIGGER. I hate that. I don't like that I can't pay my bills and have a little money left over for fun.
The husband's job has not been steady and with me working part-time at 2 jobs I have just enough to pay the bills. This sucks!! I think we need to rethink the way we do things and the things that we do have.
For now I will sell my beannies that I make along with the blankets too. I can only hope for better things in the long run. God always has a bigger and better plan.

RUNNING FEVER
I'm going to admit something.....I recently started running. I have not ever been a runner. Not really liked it EVER!! I used to run in high school but only because the teacher MADE us! I remember running with my friend Nicole and she thought I was fast.....yea right!
Well my brother ran his first Marathon on Saturday April 16, 2011, He is awesome. I ran my first 5k on Saturday April 23, 2011. I LOVED IT!! I must admit, I really enjoyed it. I signed up for this 5k way, way before because a friend of mine wanted me to run and support breast cancer. I thought I can run 3.2 miles......I'll train hard........I'll get good time.........well I have NEVER ran 3.2 miles.......I DIDN'T train........and I thought I did pretty well on my time.
I told my husband and kids the night before about my 5k. My husband looked at me with this weird blank stare, my son was like "OH SNAP" (maybe that's not what he said but close), and Lala was like WAY TO GO MOM!!
My husband started to say how I hadn't been running and that a "5k was 3.2 MILES YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT?!!?" I told him calmly that he could either come watch me run or that he could stay home, I told him it was something that I wanted to do and he could either come support me or not. He didn't say one negative word after that.
Abraham chimed in and said that it would take me about 45min to finish, then Javier said I give her an hour, Lala just looked and them and shook her head. Javier, my faithful husband, said to Abraham, "I'll bet you $100 that mom finishes in 1hr." Abraham was like NO because I don't have money, well dad then said, If I win you have to cut the grass ALL SUMMER, no questions asked, and Abraham asked what do I get if I win?.......dad says I'll give you the $100.
I've never seen more competition in my life, 1st of all there was no way I was going to finish these 3.2 miles in an hour, that was not my goal that I had set. 2nd, I was not about to let my husband win this bet.....3rd I wanted to show both Javier and Abraham that I could finish in LESS time than what they had both bet on.
THE RACE IS ON!! I was dedicated to kick butt and not psych myself out so that I could finish in less time.
Well the next morning I got up early, ate a banana for breakfast and put my kids in the car and headed to Alpine, Javier would meet us later. I had to be there at 7:15 am to pick up my packet and bib, last chance for that was at 7:45 am. I couldn't find the place and I was seriously about to cry because I wanted to prove my husband and son wrong. FINALLY after asking a bunch of people for directions I made it, 7:45 am baby, talk about cutting it close!!!
I got my bib on and started to warm up........I loaded the bus at 8am and off I went.........the gun popped at 9am for us to start and I was off!!!
I made it to the finish line at 35 minutes 35 seconds!!!! I BEAT THE BOYS TIME!!
I have never been so excited to finish a race let alone RUN A RACE!! I had such a great time that I have kept up my running and plan to run a 1/2 marathon before Halloween!!
GO ME!!

Happy Birthday Lala
Today I thank God that I have such a beautiful daughter.
Laura was born at 10:45am on a Sunday morning. The morning was as beautiful as she is. She was in a hurry to be born. We rushed down the freeway from Payson to Provo, that's where I was scheduled to deliver. My water broke on the way to the hospital and when we arrived, I was hauled into a room, looked at by the nurses who freaked out!! She was crowning and I was ready to push! My doctor, Dr. Wes Wylie didn't make it to the delivery. I had a midwife come in and then leave, then got a doctor to come in and deliver. My doctor was very disappointed, he said it was the 7th delivery that he had missed. :0(
None the less Laura Y. Zambrano was born. A healthy 6lbs. 2 oz. She was the most beautiful baby girl that I had ever seen. She didn't cry very much and was quiet she looked at her daddy and just stared. Javier was crying because he really wanted a girl. He was glad to have his son but I think the fact that he wanted and got a girl, completed him.
We were a very happy little family of 4. I was glad that she was healthy and she latched on to feed with no difficulty.
When Abraham came in to see her; he was glad to see a girl. He is a very protective big brother till the day.
I love the fact that my kids get along and that they love each other so much.
Thank you Lord for blessing us with such a beautiful baby girl!!
