I really don't like coming up with titles...

Well, for the past three weeks or so I have been sick off and on. It started with an inner and outer ear infection and then I recovered. Then a few days after it got better it came back. This week I woke up achy and tired on Monday and I'm still recovering. At the moment I feel fine, but I think my body feels otherwise. What seems to be the problem? Mostly I'm just tired, but in the words of Brian Regan, "Everything on my inside wants to be on my outside. But I'm no doctor." So, while I am sitting in bed recovering with not much to do I figured I would work on my blog. Thus the entry yesterday and the entry today... and who knows? maybe I'll post again tomorrow.

At the beginning of the summer I began searching for a new job. I filled out at least 15 applications to who knows where and had a few interviews but to no avail. So when I got back from Europe I pretty much gave up. No sooner had I done so than my aunt called to say that Calli knew of a branch at America First Credit Union (where she works) in Orem that was hiring. I had already applied, but received no phone call. So, I made a couple calls, she made a couple calls, and viola! I had an interview. That interview went really well so then I had another interview with the branch manager which went really well and, viola! I have a new job.

So my last day at Convergys was July 7 (the same day I had pretty much recovered from the first ear ache). I then did a lot that week to finalize wedding plans. The next week I started training to be a teller at America First. After a week of training I was ready and yesterday was my first day as a teller. It was really fun and not quite as stressful as I thought, although it is crazy to realize how much control you have over people's money. But, that's why they hire honest people.

I've learned quite a bit about money in the last few days of training. It has been a lot of fun learning more about the credit union and how it runs and such. I am really excited to be working here! Thanks to Calli for helping me get the job!

At last!

I know you have all been waiting so anxiously to see something new, so at last I am getting my blog up to date. I don't really have much to say, for the most part I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
