Cold

Have you ever woken up and gone to look out the window to see if it snowed but instead, find a thick sheet of ice on the INSIDE of your window????!!! Well friends, that is what happens when it is NEGATIVE 25 DEGREES IN REXBURG! Yikes. And to think I considered wearing a dress today. I don't think so. I wore long jons, pants, two tank tops, a long sleeve shirt, and a vest. Many layers did the trick. (of course with my coat and gloves). It was so cold that every school but Shelly was closed in the area! All except the colleges that is. Work of course, was still open and running:)

Work is getting better each day I think. I still hate working, as do we all. I dread waking up every morning just because I'd rather be sleeping. It doesn't help that Clay looks so peaceful in his sleep as I leave to work every morning. I think it will be better once it gets lighter outside in the morning. I really feel like I am learning a lot and will keep learning a lot. It is already getting better as far as me understanding things. I definitely still ask TONS of questions though. I feel comfortable though and it's all good. The other intern started yesterday and she is in her late 30's I'd guess, 4 kids, and is way cool. She is really nice, has about the same knowledge as me as far as taxes go and we all get along very well.

Clay decided to apply at this place down the street (walking distance, even for him!) called Progrexion (sounds like progression). Anyway, we've heard great things about it, he was sick of his old job and he got the job! Guess what? he put in his two weeks notice today, and then found out a few hours later that the store he was working at is going to close on thursday. HA. We knew that it'd be closing soon, but I think Heavenly Father just might be looking out for us. Clay starts his new job on MONDAY. Meaning...Clay will be out of work for...one day? Yep. He had been thinking about applying there for a while and just decided to last week. Look what happens. Well anyway, the manager who interviewed him was way impressed with his resume and told him he got the job right away and then talked to him for 10 minutes about his other business of summer sales that he basically begged Clay to join. Clay tried telling him his joints are bad and that summer sales (door to door stuff) probably wouldn't be the best for him, but this guy just wouldn't have it. Anyway, we are pretty excited for this new change and think it will be great! The hours are way flexible too.

We saw "August Rush" tonight. It was pretty good. A little odd but way good too. I don't know. I keep going back and forth with it. I think, yeah I liked it a lot. Then I'm like, well....I don't know. I didn't LOVE it though. It was very enjoyable and entertaining, I'll say that much.

Tomorrow is wednesday. Halfway through the week. I am excited for friday. Even more saturday morning when I'll be able to sleep peacefully!

Oh yes. Sunday evening we went to the Leslie's. It was so nice. Every time we get together I think to myself, 'Why don't we do this more often?'. We had roast, mashed potatoes, rolls, and some DELICIOUS cookies that I, myself made called, "Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise". If you want to try them, look online at marthastewart.com. Oh they are wonderful. Anyway, we chatted and just had a great time. We also looked at some old pictures rebecca had in an album. They were all so cute and funny.

K. I should get ready for bed. By the way, the time on my posts is wrong. It is saying I post an hour earlier than I do. I don't really care, but I just though I'd tell you all because Amy has commented a few times on how early I get up each morning. Just know that it is really an hour later than it says!

Oh yeah, one more thing. One of my best friends from high school, Cara, got married! I am so happy for her. She has started a blog and I am just so happy that she is happy and married to a man that she loves.

I love you all, have a wonderful day!
