An Update!
Its been a while since I've posted. Just to update you, James and I have been back in Rexburg since the end of July. I went through a really hard time personally because I applied for a lot of jobs and had no success until November. But after that trial period of patience, blessings did come. Aleesha Lough introduced me to Mary Kay and although I'm having not the fastest start, I am loving every part of it. Just after I joined that, I was offered two other jobs, one at bath and body works (which ended at black friday pretty much...) and the other at Target! Which I loved. I absolutely loved working back there. All I needed was a quick refresher and then I was at full speed again. The seasonal workers were super great this year. Except for two of them... who ended up getting fired/quit not too much later. It was a really hard season working at Target. Last year I got sick but this year I was really blessed not to. Except most of the time I ended up having to work extra hard for the people that did call in, or the people that quit. Blah, you always find issues with jobs. I was so close to finishing my time out with Target but I kind of snapped two weeks before my last day... here's the story:Target had been for two weeks closing at midnight. and for all of the fourteen days, I was scheduled to close ten of them. It was my second to last shift of having to close at midnight that I snapped. I broke down to one of my bosses and told him I couldn't do it anymore. Having to drive a half hour there and then back at 1-1:30 in the morning took a toll on me... and the fact that I closed every night and weekend. I could go on, but instead I'll move on.
The weekend before Christmas was when I quit. It was okay because that week I had started training at my new job as a secretary on campus in the Accounting office. Around the end of November James started working at Big Five and recently offered him the position past seasonal. We're not sure yet if he should because of his school schedule, but we'll see! Really quick before I move onto the new year, this last week I worked a lone at my new job on campus and am loving it.
Christmas, by the way, was so great. My mom and Greg were up here from saturday to wednesday and had their two puppies with them. It snowed! We had a white Christmas! And because of my impatience and excitement, we opened gifts up with the family on Christmas eve haha. It was great.
Happy New Year!
Now onto the new year! Last night James and I spent a quiet evening together watching the ball drop on tv and clinking our Martineli glasses together. A new year is always bitter sweet. I love the feeling it brings me though. I like to reflect. When I reach a new ending/starting point, I think about what happened this past time period, like at the start of a new semester; I reflect on what happened last semester and what I can do better this next one. Speaking of which, have I mentioned how stoked I am for this next semester?! Because of his internship, James and I have been out of school since April. I feel really good about my major finally and cant wait to jump into in and figure out which way I'd like to go with it. We start next Monday and its going to be great. After this semester we only have three left! I plan on graduating April 2014, and refuse to do so any later.I love new years. Especially odd numbered years! haha I know it sounds wierd, but all my odd numbered years have been really good. I was born in one, I was married in one, and great things are going to happen in this one! I know that there will be trials and heart aches ahead of us... but I know that James and I will be able to make it through. This year will be our second year married and I am still loving it! Although he drives me insane sometimes, I still love him with all my heart and I notice every day how lucky I am to have him and how perfect he was for me.
Happy new year everyone! Its a time to put all the bad and heart ache from last year behind us, take all the lessons and joy we gained and had and time to add to it! Happy 2013 everyone! We love you all and can't wait to see what's ahead!
