Update

So I realized that I have had no time to really blog anymore and when I do, I don't really say much about what is going on, so tonight I thought I would do so, especially because this is my only form of journaling lately.

We had a great weekend for the 4th of July in Provo with the family. Mom and Dad were in Seattle with Jenny and Todd, which meant we got to sleep on their memory foam which, FYI, is now what I want for Christmas. It was a good break.

I have also recently gotten a new calling. I am now the Laurel's advisor! I think I will feel much more at ease there than as the Enrichment leader. I was struggling with that one a little bit. My first activity with the girls was on Wednesday and I had to drive a bunch of them to the temple...apparently I am a scary driver because they were all reaching for the handles and freaking about how quickly I made my stops. In my defense, I am used to driving alone, but I admit, I am probably not as "smooth" of a driver as I would be if I had a baby in the back.

I also have some pretty cool news. I am officially a graphic designer for OUTDOORSMAN.com. I have done stuff for Andrew before just so I could expand my portfolio, but they have offered to hire me and I do it part-time after work. This makes me feel a lot better about going to all the effort to learning the programs and investing in all of the computer stuff.This is a sample of my first project that I emailed in. They had me re-create their logo and then make 2 similar ones to match their other two websites. It isn't really all that impressive, but I am having fun with it!

I also got promoted (kinda by default) at work. I am now typing policies and doing recordings. Essentially I am busy all day long, whereas before I was bored all day long. Hence the lack in blogging time. And yes, I have my 1 year interview in September, and I will be asking for a raise. I do like my new position, but I admit it has triggered my Anxiety a little bit lately and I have to spend a little time trying to calm myself down. I think it will mellow out, but I hate being tense all the time while I wait.

The only other news that we think is really cool is our garden, we have actually had multiple salads with our lettuce and a cucumber. No tomatoes yet, which I think we must be doing something wrong, but we have promise of other vegetables coming soon! Oh, and if anyone wants a pumpkin this fall, I am pretty sure we are going to be swimming in them.
