Long or Short

Should I get extensions or cut my hair short again?

Update on Life

Well I made the blog private. I don't want randoms looking at my life anymore. Things are going well here.

I quit my job at J Hunt Home for a lot of reasons, mainly the boss and the direct supervisor was a shady person and wasn't getting along with her. So therefore I quit last week. Trent and I spent the weekend in Nashville for Thanksgiving with my aunt Nanette and her family and some close friends. It was a lot of fun and we got to have a home cooked meal and eat SHOE FLY PIE! My FAV! We also ran a 5k on Thanksgiving morning. Huge shock I know. We had a blast. We went shopping for black Friday and had a great time. Unfortunately due to unemployment we didn't get to really shop. But we did get a printer and we are way excited.

I just found out today after having my interview at 8:00 A.M. that I got a job at Independent Bank about 5 minutes from my house! I am SO HAPPY! It pays great and better yet I get paid weekly for a while so that will be nice to have instant money. Thank you OFFICETEAM! We have been very blessed. I will be working at this job for as long as they will keep me or until we are back on our feet and I decide to Substitute teach. I never knew how tough this move would be but again I am greatful for a very supportive husband and a great family and puppy who are with me every step of the way.

I am very excited to announce I was accepted to Memphis Teaching Fellows teaching middle school! I will start in June and the training is here in Memphis. If I am accepted to Teach For America I will take that position instead and then Trent will apply for a job at the institute in Atlanta so that we both can be together for those 6 weeks. I feel very good about being accepted but yet you never know.

We leave in 12 days to come home! I am SOOOO EXCITED! I really have not been this excited for a long time. I crave CAFE RIO and Zupas EVERY DAY! I need it in my life and stomach. We plan on seeing everyone that we can so it will be a crammed trip.

Thanks for keeping up on us, I'll be better about blogging!

What a week.

Monday was a great day. I had a great conversation with my best friend of about 11 years, talking about his new girls and just everything like we always have. Tuesday morning I woke up and looked at facebook saw a post from his brother saying Dad you will be missed. I immediately freaked out and wanted to talk to him to know what happened. It was 6 A.M. Memphis time which is 5 A.M. SLC time. So I waited, and waited. Then I called and the horrible truth came. His dad died that morning. I was heartbroken. Not for me but for him. I just wanted to be there to give him a hug and let him know it will be okay. I just want everyone to remember how blessed we are and always say I love you. Time goes way to quick for you to let one hug or kiss go by. I love my family and Trent for everything they do for me. I love my best friends who are there for thick and thin. I am so lucky to be on this earth and will always remember that. Say I love you to a friend today. Have a good day everyone.

Mom in town!

This past weekend was fabulous having my mom in town. She arrive Friday night at about 6:25 ish and we went to our house to get Trent and show her around. Of course Jack was SO excited to see grandma. Then we went to dinner at a BBQ place called Central. It was GREAT. We had a great time and then went home to get some rest. Saturday morning we woke up and got ready for some dunkin donuts. Me and Trent have been saving for a dryer so my mom went with us to find a good one. We then went and got donuts and COOLADAS which were amazing. My mom has a costco card and we don't so she took me to costco to get a few things while Trent set up the dryer. Then we stopped by Target to grab a few cleaning supplies and we were off to Beale Street. We went to Blue City Cafe it was delicious. We had a great time just talking and being downtown and looking around. I am so glad we went. Then we went home and rested for a bit, and stopped at Hobby Lobby for some stands for my house, and then went to Steak and Shake. SO YUMMY! Tom met us there for dinner so that was fun for her to meet our friend. We spent Sunday going to church and primary where I teach and my sweet mother cried when they sang to her because she was so sad she would be leaving. My kids definetly didn't understand what was going on. That night we rested and did laundry and my mom taught me to make steaks over the pan and oven. They were so yummy, I will definetly do that again. Monday I had to go to work, and then got off at 11:30 and me and mom went to lunch at Moe's Southwest Grill and then went to a few more stops. Then it was off to the airport. Hardest thing ever. Broke my heart. I will miss her and appreciate all the time we spent together her. I love you mom. See you soon!

1st Anniversary

Life is going so well for us. I have a new job and Trent is a great teacher. It has been a lot of fun for us to move here to Memphis. We went to a restaraunt called Flight for our anniversary. It was incredible. So nice and yes WAY EXPENSIVE! it was worth every penny though! We are loving life out here and enjoying being together more. We are happy we made it one year and an eternity to go!

MONDAY!

Well another week! here we go. We still have bug problems and if they don't go away I might be tempted to start living in my car. I hate them THAT BAD. They are horrible. And miserable. I lost it Friday night when I was walking down stairs and TRIPPED.

Anyways Trent started school today! I AM SO PROUD! I am trying to get hired as a substitute teacher and then we can have similar jobs! WHOOO. So cross your fingers. It has been SO Hard finding a job but I am so happy I have Jack during the day.

We are happy and in love more then ever so we are good. No one worry. We miss home! Love everyone!!

What's NEW??

Bug bites, big freaking roaches, and hot hot heat.

I am still unemployed. FINALLY got an interview for Monday and I am going to apply to be a substitute teacher as well. :) Cross your fingers.

Most of the days me and Jack spend the day locked in our room away from BUGS and no where they can get me. I am a spaz.

I had a break down the other day because I saw a roach on my couch where I had been laying! UGH so I had to go find my new friend Rod who yes could have been an axe murderer but I really didn't care. :) He came and killed the bug and now we are still just in the process of being sure we are on the front end for any battle with the ROACH.

I miss Utah. but I love it here with my husband. We have gone to the temple twice and it has been incredible such a great spirit. Pray for us. and me getting a job. GO MEMPHIS
