I'm okay.

I just wanted to update y'all since I basically whined and sounded so sad. I am doing just fine. I still feel like an idiot a lot of the time, but so does the other intern and I have come to understand that it is totally fine and expected for me to not know what I'm doing. I have done a few tax returns now- all really really simple ones, which I still struggled with a bit, but am seeing that the more I do them, the better I'll get. I am totally doing fine, and I just wanted to let you all know that so you wouldn't worry about me:) (how self-centered am I that I am thinking you are all worrying about me...oh dear) ANYway, I am so happy that it's the weekend and that I have all day tomorrow to do WHATEVER I WANT! YES! The good thing about weekends now, is that I don't have any homework! YESSSSSSSSS! I am still enjoying that bit of the internship experience. Well, my cookies have cooled and my hubby and I are going to eat them and watch "friends". We borrowed a couple seasons from steph. Now mother, I know you are disappointed in me...and I'm sorry. I really have no excuses for you:( For anyone else that thinks friends is evil, I have this to ask you: Do you watch "The Office"? WELL- I do as well, don't get me wrong. BUT my point is, the office is exactly like friends when it comes to inappropriateness. Oh and by the way, for those of you DYING to know since I've mentioned it, Clay took me to Gandalfo's for our surprise date, a sandwich shop. We had a coupon card thing for a free sandwich there:) We were going to rent "The Matrix" from great american video (which is the same idea as cleanflix), but they were out. So sad. But we still had fun. I love my hubby! I know I sound so cheesy, but I just love him more all the time.

Okay, have a great weekend! I love you all! I will probably post more before the end of the weekend since I'll be home...I'm definitely addicted to this thing. It has been good for me to not be able to check it since I've been working.

I'm glad you told me where you went to dinner, I actually HAVE been wondering. Sounds like fun.

I don't mean to disappoint Mom as well, but I love Friends. I go through phases where I think I shouldn't watch it and I'll go a couple of years without watching it, but about a month ago, Shad and I borrowed a couple of seasons from Ross and Lillie and I love them as always.

I'm glad work is going better. I love you so much.

I'm so glad you're feeling better about work. And how fun for you to be able to totally enjoy your weekends!

Friends is So funny, and such a nice way to relax and do nothing. I actually think the Office is worse...Michael is anyway, I can't handle him half the time.

Hope you have a good weekend!

I was worried about you and I new you would pull through it! I am so glad you love your hubbie, it makes life so much better. As far a Friends go, I think it is terrible! and I prefer trashy Victorian soap operas that we order off of Netflix. hehe. Love you.

I am glad to hear that your are feeling better about the job. I was not worried about you because I knew you would start feeling better about it and yourself. It has been fun to chat with you each day during lunch. Keep coming over. If there is something that you especially like for lunch let me know and we can get it for you. I hope you and Clayton have a restful weekend. Love you. bye now.

Your mother in law is so sweet. I'm glad the job is going better. It will just continue to get better. I'm happy for you that you love your hub so much. That is so nice that you don't have to worry about homework on the weekends!!! Gandolfos, I've been there! I don't remember when or how- but I knwo the name! That is so cool! Lucky you. I love friends. And Mike thinks it's so bad, but he loves simpsons, and office, and any bad show that's on tv. And Danielle, you aren't a whiner, and you aren't depressing, or whatever you think you are! And even if you were, we don't care! as in... it doesn't bother us, atleast it doesn't for me. I don't know why- I don't care when people vent or whine, I don't mind at all. I love you!

I'm so glad that you are getting to like the job. I had faith in your being able to cope with it. It is always hard to learn something new and must be especilly difficult when you are being graded on it. It is a wonderful blessing to love your husband, keep up the romance and you'll have a great happiness. There is nothing like a relationship of marriage when both are happy with the other. Husbands always thrive well on approval so keep it up, you're doing great. I'm glad you have such a good relationship with Clay's mom. Take good care I miss and love you so much. Grandma

I'm glad your internship is going better- I wasn't worried just cause I knew it would get better. I wanted to comment that earlier but it didn't work. You are going to know so much more by the end of the term! So exciting!!!! I did feel bad for you. We've all been there before. But you're right, it will keep getting better. I don't think you're evil watching friends. I bought the first two seasons years ago, then sold them because they were "bad" and now I'm watching friends on tv again. The "badness" comes in waves. Yeah, I don't watch The Office 'cause it's bad. And I always say that and people give me the wierdest looks like it isn't and I'm glad someone else said it too!

It's good to hear that you are feeling better about things. I always hated getting a new job. You and Clayton really need to make a trip out here to hang out with us. They are building a Home Depot in Rexburg soon and I praying that they give it to Leif. I loved living there and am dying to go back there. Have you guys gone to Big Judds yet? If not, you should really go. They have the best fries ever. Anyway, hope you guys had a nice relaxing weekend! Love ya,
Amanda

The reason you thought everyone was worrying about you is because you would worry about everyone else if they were having a hard time. Soooo you aren't self centered, you are the opposite.
As far as judgment goes, I would have to get rid of a few movies before I could do that!! :-)
Have you ever seen the Matrix? I stayed up late and watched it on TV once, it is really strange, good, but strange.
I am so glad you are having a better time at work! I love you!!! oh I went on Cara's sight it is so cute, I commented on it.

Hey girl yeah well it really isn't buying but it isn't renting either... it is call rent-to-own. We have to give them 500 and then the next month starts with the payment for 350 plus insurance and taxes but all together like 450. Housing is inexpensive here but you have to understand that you get paid less here also. This house may sound like it is a good deal and i guess it is but it need a bunch of work but we can do it because it is all cosmetic. I am so excited. It is 2 bedrooms a huge kitchen with a area to put you table and chair it has a huge living room with a decent sized bedroom and one small bedroom and a good bathroom. It is old. Oregon the houses are fairly new but not here. Thats okay just cause they look old and haven't been updated doesn't mean that they are bad houses just need a contractor to look at them and a little cosmetic work. We are super duper excited lol. Well girl i love ya and cant wait to talk to you over the phone.

Hey glad to hear that things are going a little better for you. I used to go to Patty's all the time when I worked with her at the law office, take her up on the offer of whatever food you like to eat, she will get it and you can enjoy your break that much more (she is great lady that sister of mine, love her). Anyway I hope that things keep getting better for you.
Love you guys,
Aunt Susan
