oopsie

I'm back in SLC for a day or two and figured i'd get on the computer and explain my little "mountain America" post. I have signed up on here to be able to post from my phone and one day i was searching for the phone number to Mountain america credit union out here in Salt Lake City through google. Well when you're in a hurry google and blogger look a lot alike and that's what they're saved as in my phone. Needless to say I posted my google search on my blogger link.
Update. Chris is still living in Salt Lake and I'm still in Grand Junction. I LOVE GRAND JUNCTION!!! I can see us there for a long time. I love my job, it really keeps me SUPER busy i barely have time for anything else. I am in Salt Lake though to visit Sarah and Little Eli they came up here and I just couldn't pass up the oppertunity to see my little nephew he's getting so big. Well i'll post more when i have a few minutes LOVE YOU ALL!!!

This is a test to see if this works. If it does ill be able to keep u all updated. Even though I do not have a computer. LOVE YOU ALL

Hello from Grand Junction

Just a little post to you all. I do not have a computer so I can't do much unless Chris is in town. Ok So I am doing really well. I love my job. It's been REALLY hard, I haven't had my husband around. This Tuesday was the first time in almost a month since I've been able to spend time with Chris. I have a wonderful crew. I just am loving Grand Junction. So hopefully when I have a computer I can blog more. LOVE YOU ALL

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!!

It's been a while

To all of you in blogger land I'm sorry for the long pause. Ever since I got this job slinging pizzas life has not slowed down. I'm at the end of week two in my training. I'm loving it!! I'm really good at all the paper work and managerial stuff, but I have a lot to work on as far as the actual pizza slinging goes. The only down side so far really is that I spend most of my weeks in Ogden. I really don't like Ogden. I'm away from my husband and I really hate that. I am lucky though I was training with another girl from this area and she has a mission companion up there that i'm staying with. Thanks Rosie. Chris is going to Grand Junction this weekend to find a place. This will be the first time I don't get to go. I'm sad but I'm excited we'll be moving. Oh and that reminds me. I do have to pack and get everything ready just being home two days a week, in four weeks!! Can you believe it? I'll be moving in four weeks. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Reality

I GOT THE JOB!! I'm so excited. I actually already had orientation. But I kinda had to pry a little to find out for sure. I went into work on Wednesday and was talking to my manager about it and how she said I might not be working next week because they were hoping I would be in Grand Junction by the middle of March. This was news to me. SO I texted Christina (who would be my boss) and asked her if she new anything because apparently I didn't, and Chris and I have been talking and we would like to find a place to live before I have to move. Anywho the very next morning I got a phone call saying they would like to go over some training stuff with me. Long story short this Saturday I went to Ogden where I'll be training and did orientatio. I'm so exciteted another one of my friends is alswo traing and she'll be there too.

Possibilties

Alright everyone I have some good news that may get even better. It will just take a little bit to tell it. Here it goes. As you all know I am a server with Red Robin. And Chris and I are planning on moving to Grand Junction soon. Well as a server I can make a lot and I can make a little. To support two people on chances is well not great. So I've been thinking lately maybe I'll try to get into management and transfer to the Red Robin in Grand Junction. That way I'm making a steady paycheck and don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to be busy. So a couple of weeks ago I started talking to my GM at Red Robin Bryan. We got to talking and come to find out the company that I technically work for also owns Little Caesars and happen to have one in Grand junction. So we start talking about working for them. The rumor around Red Robin is that the Little Caesars Managers have been making BANK. So I'm on board with it. What ever will help support Chris and I when we move and he's in school. So now I was working on Tuesday and Christina ( She would be my boss in Grand Junction) came in and said "so I hear you want to work in Grand Junction" and I told her uh yeah. so anyways she pretty much said she needs to change the management in the store there and would like me to be the GM!!!!! I was pretty excited. Someone is telling us Grand Junction is where we're supposed to be. any who I met her boss and the one who would ultimately hire me Emilio He is supper nice and gungho about me. So today I had an interview and I brought in my Resume (thanks to my dad for helping tweak it, I don't speak business) I think it wen well, I had to take one of those "situational" on the computer tests and I always hate taking those because I'm honest and yet sometimes I'm still wonder if they'll still hire me. Also while I was there I found out that I'm supposed to go through three interviews and I don't have to because I guess they really want me or something that Emilio and another high up already signed off on my interviews. So now I'm just waiting to hear if they'll make me an offer. I hope and Pray they do. oh and if they do I'll be moving to Grand Junction a lot sooner then we thought. LOVE YOU ALL!!
