Interviews, Shopping, and bloody toes!

When Ryan and I got engaged, we decided we wanted to move back to Arizona (from Utah) and be closer to the family. So we packed up all our stuff, QUIT our jobs, and made the long journey home! I worked at a GREAT place called Sunroc, which was just like Ace Hardware. I started out as a cashier, and worked my way up toward a Data Entry position where I worked overtime almost every week. It was my life for a little while. I made great friends and have lots of memories there! I have been looking for a job since February 2009, and it has been HORRIBLE. No one is hiring! So I went from working overtime, to working NOTIME! It has been stressful and trust me, those of you that wish you were sitting at home everyday instead of having to work.. I promise.. it's not THAT great! Over the last 9 months, I have been bored outta my MIND, turned white as a ghost, haven't been very much of a communicator, and I have just felt USELESS!

Now that the holidays are coming around, people are FINALLY hiring! Two weeks ago, I decided to go to the mall and try some more! So, I applied for JCpennys and Sears. I had an interview with Sears last week, and they told me at the end of the interview, that they were going to set me up with a SECOND interview! I WAS SO EXCITEEED! So, Monday morning, I got up, got ready and left hoping and praying that this was it! That I would get this job! At the end of my interview, they told me "well, we'd like to welcome you on board!" I couldn't believe my ears! I GOT THE JOB! I will be cashier, part time! whoo WHOO! I start orientation this week and I can't wait! I'm terrified, but VERY excited too! I'm finally gonna get outta the house and work! What a blessing!

Today Ryan took the truck in the shop to get the bumper replaced. I dont remember if I mentioned it, but the night we were looking for costumes for HALLOWEEN, someone ran into our PARKED vehicle and dented the whole right side of our back bumper. The taligate wouldn't come down all the way anymore, so it was time to get it fixed! So today we took in the truck and instead of going back home after getting our rental, Ryan took me to get some clothes to fit the dress code for my new JOB! While we were there, I accidently stepped on his BIG toe, and bent half the nail all the way back and it started bleeding! SHAME on ME! Poor guy! After everything he does for me! About two hours later, I STEPPED ON THE SAME TOE AGAIN! Man! I sure know how to hurt him! I need to learn to pick up my feet when I walk!

Well, thats it for now! Hope you enjoyed the NOVEL!
