Our Jobs

So I forgot to post this onto our blog, but Rodney and I are both working now. Rodney started on like the 29th of September and I started on the 6th of October. Rodney is working for the city bus station Cash Valley Transit District (CVTD). He is training now, but once he's finished training he'll be driving the city bus! Once he starts drivng they said his wage would increase and he could also get benefits at some point. When he starts driving I'll for sure take pictures and post them. It's nice for him because they work with his school schedule. I think that he is liking it so far, he gets a little fed up with all of the nit picky rules that they have because there are drivers that need those rules and others that would do fine without them, but he says he's also a little stressed to drive up here where it's a little more hectic. I know he'll do a great job though!

My job is at Wasatch Property Management, Corp. It's like an internship. I'll be working Mon, Wed, Fri this semester and then next semester I will work full time and take classes at night. Once I graduate in May and actually have my degree my salary will increase and when I go full time in Dec I can get benefits so Rod and I are excited about that since we're living on the edge right now with no insurance! :0 Right now I'm helping the financial officers of the company and then when I go full time I'll be a financial officer. This company takes real estate and builds communities on those properties such as condos, apartments, townhomes, etc. So each financial officer is over 8 to 10 of these communities and does all of the accounting for them. They have some in California, Arizona, Colorado, Wahington state, & Utah. I've really loved it so far and it's exactly what I thought I would be doing when I graduated.

We both feel so lucky to have good sturdy jobs and realize that we are very blessed!

General Conference

This weekend we went down to Salt Lake on Friday night and went to Rodney's mission reunion and then on Saturday we met up with my mom and dad and went to the second session of General Conference. Neither Rod or I, or even my parents had been before, so it was a special occasion for us and we really enjoyed it! We would have taken more pictures but it was so rainy outside that we didn't want to get the camera out, so we just took these with our phones. After conference we were able to go and eat at Red Lobster and my sister and her husband and Katie came too. It was a lot of fun!

Rod's Mission Reunion

This is Rod's mission president, President Martinez and his wife. They are from Puerto Rico and are an amazing couple.
This is Jared Elison a good buddy of Rod's. They helped each other out a lot during the mission.This is Brother and Sister Barney. They worked in the mission office and she was the mission nurse. She said that mainly missionaries would come into the clinic because they knew they would take them out to eat after. :) They live across the mountain in Monroe, Ut. This is Ian Thomas. He started in the MTC with Rodney.This is Elva (Richman) Robins and her husband Leo. She served in the mission office before she came home and got married and took care of Rodney while he was out there. They are both from the same area as Rodney and I so it was nice for me to have people I knew there as well!
This is Ryan Bennion. He was a good friend in the mission as well.
This is Sister Paskett. She also worked in the mission office and was so cute! She said she was a little worried out there because she didn't know Spanish, but did an amazing job for the missionaries out there.

Having Katie for the Weekend

The last weekend of September Rodney and I got to watch my niece Katie. She is so fun to have over and she constantly keeps us laughing!

Streaker

Katie loves it when you undress her and she can get away from you! I was going to put her pajamas on and she squirmed out of my hands and started running around the house in her diaper :) We couldn't help but laugh!
Eating peaches.
She can be a mean little thing sometimes! lol

Out Back

Rodney took Katie to play outside while I was gone Saturday night and let her get all dirty in our back yard. When I got home, she was swimming in the tub.

The Park

During Katie's stay, we went to the park with Brittney Mason and her little boy Carter. It was a lot of fun and Katie and Carter had fun playing together!
