Quite the Fun Month

I know I put the work "month" in the title, but this is really about last weekend, this week, and the weekends to come.

I finished my assignment at the tax prep place on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, I took vacation. Yes, vacation. I stayed home, puttered around the house, and prepared myself for starting the job in American Falls full time this week. It was a productive time off from life. I haven't had a vacation in a long time. And, no, I don't consider the 2 months between graduation and getting a job a vacation.

On Saturday Kat and I left for Twin Falls. She had a bowling tournament in Filer. Or so we thought. All of the paperwork we got from the Bowling Association said she bowled on the 18th and 19th. When we got to the bowling alley, we were told that her dates were the 25th and 26th. Yes, it's true. We drove to Twin Falls and back in 6 hours time. So, we stopped by the hotel, changed our reservations to next weekend, went to dinner, and drove home. Sort of a wasted day, but Kat and I had fun, scoped out stuff we would like to do next weekend (I have to find the falls), and had some good conversations.

Since I was supposed to be out of town this weekend, I skipped church yesterday. I know, bad girl. But it felt good. Not that I dread church each week. I love it!!! I am pumped each week to see what God is going to do! What felt good was having a day where I didn't have to leave the house, or even get out of my jammies all day long. And, I wore my jammy pants all day!!!

So, I will work full time at the new job all week. On Saturday, Kat and I will once again forray into the Magic Valley to bowl. I will once again skip church (but this time I will actually be out of town). Then the weekend after that, Kat and I will go to Boise for another tourney.

LIfe is good!

New Month, New Job

The month of April has brought several new beginnings. My birthday was on Friday, I had a family party on Sunday, and started my new job yesterday. And, it is finally acting like spring outside.

My birthday on Friday was rather uneventful. I worked, took kids to rehearsal and sleepovers, then watched a movie, relaxed, and went to bed early. I had to work on Saturday, so the family birthday party had to be on Sunday. We had ribs and cheesecake, then presents. I got tickets to Jeff Dunham later this month, the entire first season of ER, and some cool bright red sneakers with Mickey Mouse on them. Good birthday!

Yesterday I started my new job. I am the payroll processor for Funk Farms in American Falls. The drive isn't bad, and the people are really nice. I have even been asked for networking advice, and called the "network administrator." Not bad for a first day. I was also told to set up my payroll processes the way I am comfortable with. I am excited for where this job will lead, and exited to do new things.

Easter this weekend, I get 2 vacation days at the end of next week, then full time at the farm (that just sounds so funny!). Yep, life is good.
