Relax

Dustin and I spent this last weekend just RELAXING and it was SO GREAT!!!

Friday night we hung out with Tyler and Sara and went to Los Hermanos, then watched the movie 21 at our home. It was great to be able to go out and chill with friends!

Saturday morning I started teaching my Springville ACMA classes again for the semester and the classes went really well! Those kids and parents are just awesome! Then Saturday afternoon Dustin and I just RELAXED at home. I made some carmel zucchini bars, did lots of dishes, cleaned and organized a little, did some laundry, worked on some scan prep... okay, maybe this doesn't sound very relaxing, but it really was! Just to be home with Dustin and veg in front of the tv while doing some work was so wonderful! We also got to see part of the infomercial about the new Magic Bullet Express, 8 minute family meal maker! It was incredible! ha ha ha. Dustin felt a little sick at night so we stayed home and watched the Wizards of Waverly Place Disney Channel orinigal movie and had a good laugh. We ran to the grocery store quickly to get some stuff for dinners this week (so i'll actually cook and can't say that we have nothing to make!) and then just went to bed.

Sunday we went to church and I got to go to Sunday School and most of Relief Society because the sharing time was combined for senior and junior Primaries so I only needed to be there at the beginning and then the last half hour or so. I made crepe batter for some lunch but it needed to refrigerate for an hour so we decided to take a nap... and woke up 3 hours later, just in time to get ready to leave for my grandparent's house for a family dinner! Ha! oops! We didn't even think we were that tired.... I guess we were! We had a great time talking with my family and my Uncle and Aunt and their boys that came down from Washington. Also my cousin Amber and her fiance Joe! It was nice.

So yeah, just a chill weekend after a busy week of StoresOnline work and starting up the new semester of Art City Music Academy classes! Dustin started his classes at UVU and he's taking 17 credits, plus another 5 of Portugese that he will just test out of at the end of the semester! He has a way busy class schedule and will only be working like 12 hours, but I'll be busy working too! So we really just hope we'll have some time to see each other! And remember to RELAX! :)

It's been a long time coming...

It's been a while since I've written and there is a lot to update on!
A couple weeks ago I was told to make a list of everything I did at work... I was a little nervous, but my boss said not to be worried. The next week an email from our controller went out saying that they had the Preview Express Accounts Receivable Manager position available as Kareena, the previous manager, was recruited to work with another StoresOnline, Imergent company.
Have you ever had those realizations hit you in the face that you were meant to do something? I had that feeling with the Santa Barbara job and I had that feeling with this one as well. I knew they had intended for me to take it, hence the listing what I currently did so they could dish it out to everyone else in my little group. Well, after some coaxing from a few select individuals, I applied for the position, knowing that I would most likely get it. You see, I started in the Preview Express department, I know what I'm doing, and I'm a born leader. Those all equal Manager. I talked with Yvonne, my boss at Art City Music Academy and let her know what this might mean... not as flexible of a schedule for teaching.
The interview was the next day. And within a half hour of my interview, I was told that I got the position... which meant a salary raise, deduction of health benefit costs, and a new job. I was really excited, a little nervous, but it felt good!
The next week I started training and then this week I am been in command. It's been a crazy busy week, but time goes by fast when you're busy! We've had some previews up in Canada which has created a little mess in our end with making sure everything is right as we process the orders. Oh what an adventure! But I have a feeling I will survive!
As far as piano teaching goes, StoresOnline can be somewhat flexible with my schedule for now, but this might be my last semester teaching if we can find a teacher to take my place.
Life is moving onward and upward and continues to be super busy for me and Dustin. We've now been married for 5 months and yes, we're still working on Thank You cards... so don't feel bad if you haven't gotten one yet!
Dustin has completed a great summer semester at UVU and fall classes will start next Wednesday. He will have an over-full schedule and he's looking forward to being on the racquetball team! We're so excited for our cruise in less than two months! Life for the Creers is going well. :)
