I am ALIVE

OH MY!!! it sure has been a busy month and a half for me. So I have finished my training, That was up in Ogden and I really don't like Ogden but I loved the store I was in and the people I worked with. They definitely have a good crew over there. Lezlie my trainer was definitely a fantastic tutor and a good friend. She will be someone I will use a lot of information from. I stayed with a friend's old mission companion while I was up there. Thank goodness for Rosie or it would have cost me an arm and a leg to train up there. It was a long drive from home to Ogden. I would train Tuesday-Saturday and come home Saturday nights then drive back Tuesday mornings. It was a rough schedule for Chris and I but it only prepared us for whats to come. (see next paragraph ;)) I actually finished training last Thursday then I headed to Logan for a new store opening. It was a great experience and really fun. I truly enjoy working for this company.
And now for the part not many know about. And why it prepared Chris and I for things to come. As many of you know Chris works for a software company, he likes it but it's not his passion. Well part of the reason why we're moving to the GJ is because Chris is going to go back to school and finish his four year degree and go through the police academy and work on becoming a cop, his true passion. Our original plan and hope was that since Chris is working with computers the company he's at now would allow him to go to a part time status and work from home, allowing us to keep our benifits and him to be able to easily work around school, and still make a good ammount of money. He proposed his idea to the company and they said it wouldn't work for them, mainly becasue he's not going to school to better himself in their feild. Which makes total sence, so the wisest thing for us to do is to let Chris continue to work there for as long as possible to make the most money until school starts.
But WAIT!! there's more, in the mean time Chris has gone on the internet and learned that the GJ police department is looking to hire some fresh blood and sponsor them through the academy. If he gets this they'll pay for his academy and they'll pay him while he's in the academy AND they do tuition reembursment. It would be a win win situation for all of us. They have accepted his application and he has his PT tests and Interviews at the end of this month.
Now little ol' me is packing up a few of my belongings into my little car and driving to Palisade, which is a little town about 10 miles outside of GJ and I'm going to stay in an extended stay of sorts hotel until I either find a suitable place for the both of us or until atleast Chris moves out and we have found a place, I'm sure it will be easiet to wait. I will see my husband every now and then he'll for sure be out at the end of this month when he's doing his testing. And thank goodness for telephones. We've done long distance before but it was 5 years ago. we'll be able to do it. Now you all know kinda what's the skinny, LOVE YOU ALL!!
