I finally posted pictures from the 4th of July week! In the future, I will try to be better at updating more often. I don't have pictures of what else has been going on lately, but here are a few highlights:
- Jeff is doing well in his job, and has been complemented by both his supervisors and the customers he works with.
- There are two more kittens at Jeff's parent's house! Every time we visit, we try to handle the kittens as much as possible so they won't be too skittish. One is very cuddly, and might be my favorite. I hope she sticks around.
- A couple weeks ago I got hired as an "as needed" Exercise Specialist at Aqua Worx Physical Therapy & Fitness! So far I've trained and subbed for someone a couple times. I really like it, and the ladies that work there are pretty awesome. It also motivates me to start working out again. When I participated in the Senior Aerobics class I had a hard time finishing! I need to get moving and back into shape so I can instruct the class without tiring myself out.
- In August I started working at Deseret Industries (thrift store). It's nothing special, but it is a great work environment and I get 20% off the merchandise so no complaints there. My supervisor is allowing me to work at DI full time on days I'm not needed at Aqua Worx. Since the whole point of DI is for job training/gaining work experience, she is always excited when I tell her I need days off to work at Aqua Worx.
- We are going to buy a "new" car this week! A friend of mine is selling her 1999 ford minivan at a very good price, so will soon be the proud new owners of a car that doesn't break down every month. We have been spending about $200/month to keep Jeff's van running. Jeff swears that his van just doesn't like me, and is convinced it will run just fine once I stop driving it. We shall see.
- I took the GRE the last week of September, and should get the results the second week of November. I am also applying to the Masters of Science in Sports Medicine program at USU. If all goes well, I will be accepted to start next fall, and also get a position as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer. I would be assigned to cover a university team, have tuition waived, and receive a $10,000 yearly stipend. I am excited about it.
