What's new

So I was on my way home from Idaho Falls today after depositing our pay checks (I really wish there was a Chase closer to Rexburg). Anyway, there was a women in front of me and all of a sudden she dropped a cigarette out her window! Really? I'm pretty bold, but I wish I was a little more bold in this situation. I so badly wanted to get out of my car, go pick up her disgusting cigarette, knock on her window, and tell her "Um, excuse me. You are more than welcome to destroy your body and lungs, but please don't destroy the earth while you are killing yourself. Thanks." Too bad I would never be able to do that. Which may be a good thing. You never know what kind of people will act all crazy when confronted.

In other news, I no longer work at Jimmy John's. (I know you're devastated, Jill haha). I am following Kevin's footsteps and now work at McDonald's! I know, I ventured way outside the box with this job. But I totally just walked in and got a job. Really blessed with it. Only downside to the job is going to bed while the sun is still out and going to work while the stars are still out. I go to bed around 8-8:30 every night and wake up around 4:15 and I'm at work at 4:45. Yes, in the morning! I am not a morning person by any definition of the word so it has been an interesting few weeks. I would much rather stay up later any day. But it's a job that gives me about 35 hours a week, so I can't complain at all.

One last note, I bought my plane tickets to go home for Kelli's graduation! I'm so stoked! I didn't think I'd be able to make it home, so I am very excited it worked out. Another benefit of working at McDonald's is getting to ask for time off ahead of time. Jimmy John's had a set schedule so you were required to find substitutes for any shift you wanted covered and that wasn't always an easy task. Anyway, I really excited to go home, even though Kevin can't go with me because he has school until July. I am also excited to meet little Dillan (well, he's not really that little but that's ok.) I would post a picture, but since he's not my kid, I won't. But trust me-he is precious!  I can't wait to see everyone and meet him!

That's all folks! Bed time for me!

  2. I always LOVE reading your blogs! Can't wait to see you in about 20 days. Woo Hoo! And you're right; Dillan is not really little, but he sure is cute. You won't want to put him down. Well, maybe, when your arms get tired, cuz he is heavy!! Lol! Love you (and Kevin, too, of course).
