It's been quite some time since I've written but life has thrown a TON at me and I am just trying to get a breather! I'm not even remembering what the last thing was that I had said or mentioned or anything...
Wow! I just looked back and it had been over a month since I wrote something last and to top it off...TOO much has happened since General Conference!! Oh goodness, I guess I should get started...haha
Well I got a job working in Food Services again on Campus...however on Monday mornings I have to be at work by 5 in the morning and I work until 9am. Then I go back from 2 to 6 in the afternoon. I work 2 to six again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and I have Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays "off". I put off in quotations because of all my other responsibilities. :) Well, working at this job called Simply to Go has been a blessing in my life as I have been able to become a better person and wake up early and go to bed early. I love it! But it is somewhat stressful because I don't get all the sleep that I would enjoy to have. ;)
I received a calling or a responsibility in an LDS Temple and I am basically in charge of making sure that people's weddings run smoothly within the Temple. That has been another blessing in my life and I've realized that I love helping people!
During 'Spring Break' I had another responsibility thrown at me. I am now the on-site manager for our little four-plex. I have no experience in this field but I am grateful for the opportunity to work in this position and have a little rent reduction and put it on my resumé! :) It's been frustrating to do things since I don't have any idea what it is including but we have been trying to find a new tenant for one of the apartments and we haven't found any. The landlord lives in California so it was quite difficult getting in contact with her around my busy schedule and hers. However, after getting in contact with her we still haven't found anyone to move in. It is a really nice two bedroom apartment with washer and dryer hook-ups for $500 a month. It includes cable, internet and all other utilities except for cable. It's the cheapest apartment for this size that we've found in the Rexburg area. So if you know anyone in the area, let them know and let me know! I'd be glad to show off the apartment!
We had recently moved wards and I had been praying for the Lord to use me in the best way possible and to hopefully give me a calling within the ward so that I can get to know the other members of the ward and it will allow me to serve those within my ward. Well, after all of these changes and trying to take 15 credits this semester I was like, "I think I'm okay with not having a calling this semester." Right after I thought that, Whitney and I got called as the Family History teachers for Sunday school. I figured if Heavenly Father was okay with it and of course He knows what I can handle then bring it one! :) That has a funny story in and of itself but I don't have time to write it now...maybe later if someone asks me...;)
Well after all of these things I was trying to go through the past couple weeks with my new classes and for the first time try to take 15 credits and on Tuesday I gave in and realized, with Heavenly Father's help that I am not able to get the grades that I want/need and keep all of these credits. So I dropped a 3 credit class that started at 8am on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I feel way more relaxed and I feel like I am able to actually handle the work load given me. This now means that I am taking 12 credits and we will be in Rexburg for a little longer but my wife told me that she is fine with it. I love my wife, she supports me with everything!
Life has been hectic like I said and because it is so hectic and busy time FLIES by!!! Whitney and I have been married for 8 months as of yesterday and that is CRAZY TO BELIEVE!! But also our dear Julia Rose is due in 2 months TODAY!!! Exactly!! I am so so excited! I can't wait to hold my daughter!! Well I should probably head to bed and hopefully I will be able to post a blog more frequently. Good Night! :)
WOW!!! I think your life is just a little bit more hectic than mine is! Actually, things have slowed down a little and mom is doing a lot better, but wow! Look at you!! You and Whitney are like so cute, it's SCARY! HAHA! I'm so glad that you both have a chance to work in the church..that's a great blessing and maybe soon you will be able to find someone to rent that apartment! Good luck with all your classes and your new calling! I'm so happy for you and yes, I wanna know the rest of the story!! ;)
