Quick Reminder

I came home from my first day of work at my new job to find this on the kitchen table...

I'm pretty sure I'm the most spoiled wife in the world, just saying :)

With a gorgeous bouquet of roses.

I don't post this stuff to brag, it's our family journal and if I don't document it, I won't remember it. 

The first day of work went great! Lots of training and lots of things to learn about Social Security and Disability Claims, but I'm excited to learn new information! 

I'm a little behind on some posts, so I might have a couple random picture posts coming up soon.

Change is good!

Today I...

Dropped off a baby shower gift for a girl in our ward.

Went to work.

Went to a job interview on my lunch break.

Was offered the new job at that interview!

Went back to work, quit and said goodbye to those I worked with.

I am now...

Soooo excited! :)

I have been so grateful to have a job during this really bad economy, but I have not been happy with where I have been working, it's a sales position and commission based and I was not making what I would have liked to. So, I interviewed at Myler Disability during lunch, had a great interview and was offered the job on the spot! How awesome is that?! I was pretty stoked. So I went back to work, spoke with my supervisor, and said goodbye to my team. PMI is a great company and I have met a lot of great people there, but it was time for me to move on to something better for me. 

So, I start Monday at Myler Disability as a Legal Assistant. It's full time, Mon-Fri. and the hours are 7am-4pm or 8am-5pm, so I'm even more excited because the hours are almost exactly the same as Ryan's schedule so we will be able to see each other more!

Mi Madre

My Mom planned a 2 week long trip up here in Utah and has been spending a few days at all of our houses and Monday and Tuesday were my days to spend with her! She was finally able to see our new place and helped us with a few projects while she was here! I had to work both days, so I pretty much was only able to see her during my lunch breaks and after work, but it was still a lot of fun!

I put my Mom to work with making some curtains for our living room and guest room!

She also helped me figure out how to use my sewing machine that used to be my Granny's. We also figured out that it's a little broken and only sews in reverse...

Some simple curtains for the living room.

My Mom also recovered our throw pillows for our couches so they match the new curtains.

and after! My sister Jennie helped with the design of this one and helped find all the cute fabric for the curtains.

Close up of the fabric and cute ribbons! I think they turned out so cute!

The night before my Mom left, she made my Granny's famous Potato Rolls! They are sooooo good!

I've tried to make these rolls a few times and have failed every time, I can never get them to rise and they are so much better when my Mom makes them!

My Mom :)

The perfect rolls!

It was a lot of fun being able to spend some time with my Mom and appreciate all the projects she did to help make our condo a little more home-y. Thanks Mom! I love you!

Last minute

On Sunday I found out that one of my old roommates, Kristie, was visiting from Australia, so last minute we had people over to visit and play games! We ended up playing Warewolf the whole time, and it was a lot of fun!

Kristie and Nancy, they were both my roommates before I got married.

Everyone!
