Lately...

So...I thought I would update...so here ya go...

The job is going really good. I love it! The people I work with are awesome, the environment rocks, and it's just a great place to work. I drove to SLC for training April 26-29, and that was...well, training. I stayed at my bro-in-laws house Monday night, came home Tuesday, and stayed there again Wednesday. It was fun to see the kids. They are super cute, and pretty funny. The best is listening to Nori try and talk. She talks really fast, and you can only understand a few of her words. One time she was pretending to talk to Shaina on the phone, and she was jabbering away and then she'd say, "Ha, ha, Shaina! You're so funny!" Lol it was pretty funny. It was fun playing with them though. Wednesday when I was driving to SLC, it was snowing, so I had my lights on, and as I was getting close to SLC, I thought, "I need to remember to turn off my lights." Yes, my car is ghetto, I have to manually lock and unlock the doors, roll the windows down by hand, manually turn on and off the lights (oh, and apprently my windshields are small...lol)...but anyway...so I do my training on Wednesday, and I go to head to Kyans...and my car won't start! I LEFT THE LIGHTS ON from 9-4:30ish. Oh my heck! I was so mad! Greg was at work, so I just tried texting him to see what I should do. I didn't have Kyan's number, and I didn't want him to have to come get me anyway...so I literally sat in my car for 30 minutes trying to decide what to do. Finally I decided to go in and ask one of the people who was helping with the training. He was super nice, and tried to help jump my car. Well, another little fact about my dang car is you can't just pull the lever and pop the hood. That would be too easy...You have to pull the lever, while you smack the hood to get it to pop. You have to hit it in the right place, and I obviously couldn't figure it out because it took another 10 minutes to pop the hood. Once we finally got it popped and hooked it up it still wouldn't start. Granted they didn't take time to let the battery actually charge, but whatever. I felt so dumb, and eventually Seth gave me a ride to Kyans. Kyan and I went back the next morning and charged the battery. Started right up....very nice...Ugh! Anyway...So that was an adventure...

Like I said in my previous post...I made an awesome first impression on my very first day there. So, the chairs that we have are kinda high, and the roll and have like a metal thing around the bottom for you to rest your feet on. Well, they are super high, so I went to step on the metal thing to give me a boost, my heel got caught on the metal thing, and the chair slid out from under me, and I totally face planted. Totally embarrassing. Luckily there weren't many people paying attention cuz I felt totally stupid...lol....it was great...Stupid chairs!

But other than that work is awesome. I love it, and I love getting the paychecks every two weeks! We're on our way to becoming rich again!!! LOVE IT!

Last weekend I didn't have work, so I was able to go to SLC to meet up with some of my best girl friends from HS. SLC is kinda the middle for the 4 of us that were able to go (we missed you Camille!) since we're now all over, and some of us are moving even further away! (TEAR!) But it was so much fun. It's been nearly 5 years since we've all been together. It was a blast catching up with each other. We made it to the 11:00 session in the SLC temple, and it was so cool to be able to do that. We are all married now (length of time varying from nearly 5 years (YIKES!) to only about 5 months). It's awesome to see how far we've come. After the temple we went out to eat at the Olive Garden, which was SUPER DELICIOUS, then headed down to the gateway to walk around. It was super fun! I love those girls so much, and I appreciate their friendship through the years, and for them accepting me even though I'm much older than them! I'm so sad that we're so far apart! And Jenna is moving even further! Hopefully it doesn't take another 5 years before we can all hang out again! Thanks girls for letting me invite myself (yes...i totally did...I wanted to hang out with them too!) Love you all lots!!!

Hmm...not much else is going on. I went to Manti on Thursday to Tiffany Lester's wedding. That was an adventure in and of itself as well....ahhh car...I love you...why do you hate me?!? But Aubrey and I went from Provo to Manti together, and it was fun catching up with her too. Tiff was a BEAUTIFUL bride (pics on my facebook!!!) and I love how happy her and Deven are! Congrats guys!

And yeah....this week Greg and I celebrate our big #5!!!! And we'll hopefully get to celebrate it in style down in Vegas! Crazy stuff, right! Alright...i think that's all for now!

Glad work is going good...maybe now that you will be rich you can get a newer car. What fun would life be with no car troubles? We miss you two and hope that we get to see you, even if it is quick! Happy early anniversary!
