So- I am going to be completely honest and tell you that I was SOOO nervous about this new job. Basically "if" you are lucky to be hired on as full time you either work at :
1. The consumers (basically the adults with disabilities and there are about 2-4 in each home) you would go to there house with about 2 other people and cook, clean, bath, change them, etc.
2. Work in the DTA program which is basically a day program from 8-4pm Monday-Friday where you do crafts, bowling, vocational work, etc.

I am soo lucky that I was one of the only of 16 placed into the DTA program! How awesome and fun will that be!!! I am pretty excited to have a job especially in these hard times. I know Tyler and I dont look like we have much but we are working hard to get a wonderful life- and we WILL have it....and it WILL last a long time. This is a great opportunity- with this job it will prepare me for Nursing which is what Tyler and I are going into.

Its hard for me because I used to see everyone our age with nicer cars, TV's, children, etc and we didnt have those things. But, I am grateful for a husband and family who keep me focused on what we are working towards!

So Tyler and I decided to do something completely irresponsible :) We went to Disneyland! And...the best news is I got a job and today was my first day. We had a great trip and it worked out perfectly before I started work! I am working at TLC, I will be working with adults with severe mental retardation. It sounds challenging but I know I can do a great job! Enjoy the pics :)

Well today was my last day at Larry John Wright- I had a wonderful time working there. I learned a lot that will help me in any future career and I met tons of wonderful people. Here are a couple of pictures from my last day. I am really getting nervous about moving- fear of the unknown is never fun.. We just finally starting the whole moving process today(little late, I know) I hope all goes well. I will keep you updated!

So- Apparently after taking a day off work and driving three hours to an interview for a position that has already been filled gives you a bad attitude.

Monday I drove up for an interview at a doctors office- called ahead and asked for directions get there like 30 min early so I chill at Tyler's parents house. Go over to the Dr. Office walk in and they lady says, " Oh no one called you? The position has been filled." WTF?!?! Thanks for letting me know! Are you going to compensate me for my time???

P.S. They KNEW I was coming up from the valley.

Are people in this world really that rude?

Anyways- the Lord always provides because that afternoon the hospital up there called me for a second interview :) So all in all I guess it was probably a good thing they filled that stupid position.

I feel like all my post are me venting- but isnt that what a journal type thing is for?!

Okay- Here is just a taste of Jills (Tylers Aunt) amazing work as a photographer!

She took some pictures for the Daly Christmas Card....Some of these are just goofy which is my favorite :)

Holy Crap- it is official. Tyler and I will be moving up to Pinetop/Showlow on December 20th. This has just happened so fast- within the last two weeks.

The reason for this crazy move is to help move along Tyler's schooling. Tyler will be attending NPC in Showlow. For the next three semesters he will be finishing up any pre-reqs that he needs, including a nursing assistant class. In the Fall of 2010 we hope to start the Nursing program (which does not have a year in a half waiting list like MCC) and go from there. The other bonus to moving up to Showlow is the new hospital that is opened up is feeding the new Nursing Students to work at the hospital. We hope to work there until we get into a PA school.

We are both interviewing with Summit Health Care this week ( The hospital up in Showlow) we hope that these interviews go well :) . We are planning on living with his parents for a little bit until we get everything settled.

I personally am excited to be close to family- we havent been for the last 2 years. I feel like even though this is completly out of my comfort zone ( nothing is completely organized or confirmed which freaks me out!) I know that this will help my family.

Sometimes you need a good kick in the pants to get things moving! ;)

Sorry I havent posted in forever- just havent had much to say until now. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday we had a great time at his parents house.

We would LOVE to visit with everyone before we leave!

I am sitting here at work and was just thinking about how my husband is better than anyone else's :) Here are a few reasons why:

1. Great cook! This is a must because I really suck/hate cooking, Tyler makes the best pork chops all seasoned and delicious!
2. Witty, he will kick your ass in any debate or conversation...he just says the wittiest stuff!
3. Laid back, I love that he just wants to make a big cozy bed in the living room and just lay around together; because I constantly have to be doing something its nice to have someone to calm you down.
4. Control, he lets me take control because he knows thats just me :) not alot of men can do that.
5. Creative- umm have you seen his blog?! he has got the craziest thoughts running around his head, I have never known anyone so creative.
6. He cleans! He has done the dishes, vacuming, laundry, and organizing of the office all just in the last week....now thats a good man :)
7. Support, whatever crazy ambition I come up with he is always there to support me even if its crazy! (marathon)
8. I woke up the other morning and I found a note on the TV saying " Happy Anniversary" it was our 20 month anniversary....how many guys remember that?!
9. Knowledge of scriptures and church doctrine, it amazes me how much I dont know or dont remember when I hear him talking about church. It really nice to have someone who you can ask questions to and get the answer without feeling completly stupid.
10. About 15 times a day I get to hear how pretty he thinks I am :)

Okay there are LOTS of other reasons but I am at work and can't write any others. Just know that I think my husband is way better than yours!
