New Jobs

So getting new jobs must be the cool thing in our house. I decided that the new facility that I moved to in February just wasn't for me. It was nice, everyone was nice, but it didn't have the family feel that I had at St. Joes, soooo I gave my notice!!! I left a company that I had been with just a month short of 7 years. I am now at the hilton of rehab centers. It is beautiful, smells like vanilla, and I working with one of my girl friends again. I absolutely love it. My patients are almost aways eager to come work out. Best of all I don't feel like I am covered in nasty diseases! Well Stuart must have gotten jealous because he gave his notice to the company that he has been with for 8 years. I keep thinking WHAT ARE WE THINKING!!!! both of us quiting our jobs within almost a month of each other. I am not quite sure if Stuart is loving his job yet (it was his first day today). So we will see how everything works out !!!!!

new year and new adventures!

I am sucking it up with blogging!!! I haven't posted anything since August!!!. I don't feel like I have had anything too momentous happen to deserve its own post. So its a new year!!!!! We had a fun New Years party with Stuarts family (man I am old, I can't stay up as long as I used to!) I have been working ALOT!!! 2 jobs in fact! Love the extra money, but missing being home. We just had a 90th birthday party for my Grandma Cook. Lots of family togetherness!!! yeah for family!!!! The most recent adventure in my life is I am leaving the facility I have been working at for the last 6 years!!!! AHHHHH!!!! The company that owned the building I worked at sold the building and they gave us soooo much notice like a months notice!!! Our last day is January 31st. I have been spending the last week packing up 11+ years worth of crap that the rehab team had accumulated. I will be starting at my new building next Monday. I am kind of scared out of my mind!!!! I haven't started a new job for 6 years, definitely a new adventure!!!

Vegas Baby!

Stuart and I spent the week in Vegas, I was there for a conference and Stuart was there as my chauffeur. We did manage to see some of the sites. We walked up and down the strip a couple times & checked out a couple different hotels. It was SO hot!!! It felt like a 1000 degrees the whole time we were there. We went to the Tournament of Kings and Madame Tussauds wax museum. Both were lots of fun. I wasn't a fan of having to eat with my hands, especially the chicken. The museum was SOOO cool we took lots of fun pictures! To entertain myself, I made a list of random things that I saw some were: 3 elvis's, batman, superman, spiderman, marilyn monroe, a guy with pink hair, a lady with hawiian shorts and high heels, a little girl dressed like a floosie, the blues brothers, an angel, and devil, homer simpson and a old man in a speedo! I had so much fun! Next time I want to go and not have to spend all my time in class :(

July 4th

Happy Birthday America!
Stuart and I had a fun filled 4th. Stuart went to his parents to do some work in the yard. Rio and I went shopping with daddy, oh yeah! Even Rio came out with presents! We had the annual BBQ at Stuarts parents. We had some very yummy food! (especially the salads I made) We finished the evening off with watching fireworks on the lawn at Jordan High School. Stuart worked over at his parents house again on the 5th, I got to go to work ! Then Rio and I hung out at my parents house and read (pretty boring yeah, but it was so nice to just relax!)

Soldier Creek!!!

Stuart and I went up to a friends cabin on the shore of Soldier Creek. When we got there we made a yummy breakfast, oh so good! All of us went out on the boat, the boys fished, Stuart was the driver and the girls played Phase 10. We had to put candy on our cards so that they wouldn't blow away! Rio loved being on the boat. He loved having the wind blow in he's face!

The Sealing!

So Simon and Kristen were sealed in the Draper Temple on June 19th!! It was so much fun seeing them take this next step in there life. Way to go!!! love you both!
