Home Sweet Home

Im home now. Living at home has its ups and downs. I miss my roommates, the 24 hour social life, school, Rexburg, doing whatever whenever you want etc etc. I do however LOVE free laundry (saves me $10-$15 every week), free food, free rent, my family, my friends from high school, being close to my second home (Nordstrom-hehe), seeing Grant's family more often, making money, etc etc. I am also excited that I am done with school for 9 months!

The move back home was fine. I always HATE moving. I have to admit that I am only half unpacked. :| My first week back home I started my mad hunt for a job. I think that first week I sent out over 200 resumes. Unfortunately, I did not find a job. I was very discouraged. My whole life I have always been able to find a good job. The second week I was home I was able to get my substitute teaching job back. I quickly filled my week with teaching jobs. On Tuesday of last week, I got a call from a guy I interviewed with the previous week, and he offered me a job. I was so excited. So was able to score two jobs!! Oh and later on that week I was shopping at Nordstrom and they offered me a job as a rover! So anytime Nordstrom has extra shifts they give them to me.

So I started my job yesterday. It is interesting. I sit on the computer all day and answer in bound phone calls. Pretty boring, but it is a job. Well that is it for me.

ps: grant comes home in 5.5 months :)

Catch Up Time

Wow it has been way too long since I have been on here. So here is a little catch up on my life.

December 2008: I finished my thrid semester of school. I went home for winter break and I worked at Nordstrom in the hangbag department. I spent Christmas at home and I got to talk to Grant on Christmas day. I rang in the year 2009 with my family.

January 2009: I started my fourth semester of school. I moved back into my old apartment with some new roommates. My roommates this semester were Ashley Smith (from Rexburg), Bailie Kuehn (from Kaysville), Kayli (from Seattle), Beki (from England), and Lauren Smith (Georgia). We all get along great and became great friends. I turned 20 years old on the 20th!!! CRAZY! i am so old. I am taking Physical Science, Geography, 2 study skills classes, Family History, and the History of Education this semester. I have a full load but i am very eager to get into major classes.

February 2009: Grant sent me flowers on Valentine's day. he is so sweet. Grant and I started dating two years ago on the 7th. I had midterms and did really well on all of them. I had tons of fun with my roommates and the snow was sooooooooo bad this month.

March 2009: Just the same old routine school, homework, gym, and friends. Due to some events in my life I found out that I will NOT be returning to Arizona in the summer and I will be going home to Utah instead. Kayli and Ashley both got engaged this month and I will be bridesmaids in both their weddings. :)

The semester is ending this week. I am excited for the warm weather, summer activites, moving home, working, and having fun with old friends this summer. I am not excited to find a job in this terrible economy! I will keep you all posted on the job search.

Here are a few pictures from this semester...

This is me and my newest bestest friend Ashley. I swear we are twins seperated at birth. All semester people thought we were twins or sisters.
