It has been forever since I have been on here, but trying to share a computer with my folk's has my blogging time limited..
So very much has happened since out move back in Aug. Mick changed jobs, he is now working where my dad worked for 14 years. Central Paving, he started out driving truck for about a month or so then they put him in a backhoe (where Mick feels more natural). He didn't mind driving truck but honestly the money is in the Equip. Central won the bid on replacing the Vista overpass and that whole interchange, so he really wanted to be on that project due to making more money.. He spent a month at the Airport tearing up and replacing some of the runway. Then he was put on the paving crew for a while, he kind of goes back and forth between operating and paving and occasionally he drives truck. He likes working at the company, many of them still remember my dad and talk to him frequently. One huge benefit is the Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance that we got for the family! It feels sooo good to know that we are ALL covered and don't have to worry about not being able to go to all of those places..
As you may recall I lost my job back in July. I have always sold Scentsy so during the month of Aug, Sept and Oct I worked my butt off at building my business back up again and was able to promote to Director! This was a huge accomplishment for me, after 3 years in the business I am glad that my team just keeps growing by leaps and bounds.
I also went to an Orientation in Oct to become a Substitute Teacher for the Meridian School Dist. My application was accepted and I was hired the first part of Nov. It has been very fun and exciting for me. I have Subbed at both the kids schools, and various others. This school Dist is huge, there are over 2500 teachers and they place roughly 250 subs a day... I have had weeks where I sub every day and then other weeks where I only have 2 or 3.. It's been fun and has kind of given me an itching to maybe become a teacher. I am in no hurry for that, I still haven't found out what grade and/or subject I like the most. :)
Clay: he has adjusted to his new school quite well. He is doing really well, getting A's and B's in his classes, well all but Band. We could have guessed that he wasn't much of a trumpet player but kudos to him for trying. :) He started Wrestiling in Oct and just finished the season last weekend. He did the best he could, this was a new sport to him so hopefully with some more practice he will be able to get better for next year.
Michayla: she surprises me everyday. She is so smart and is older beyond her years. She too has done great with her new school and making new friends. We missed the deadline to get her signed up for Basketball, but we are looking forward to her playing Softball again this Spring.
Mick & I have been able to pay off a lot of bills, and are just about debt free. Which was the whole purpose on us living here. We are both making some good money and can't wait to be back in our own house hopefully by Spring Break if not by June.
I will try to update on a little more of a regular basis.. Hope everyone is doing well and that you all have a great Christmas!!
Happy New Year!!!
