Little update...finally :)

So I want to do some MAJOR catching up on this blog I had finally started, but haven't really done much with since. Where to start? Well it's been almost 8 months now that me and Brian have been married. We've already made so many memories, married life is just a blast. We're renting the apartment hooked onto my parents house, 3 bedrooms 1 and 1/2 baths, washer/dryer, dishwasher...for a heck of a good deal. It's been a nice first home. We got to paint the walls and make it our own. I was a little worried at first being so close to the parentals, but we are completely separated by 2 doors and we have our own driveway, so its worked out better than I thought it would. We've both done 1 year of college at Utah State, but since we've got married we've both just been working. We didn't want to go straight to school like a week after our wedding. So it's been nice having a bit of a break from it. Last summer he worked as a manager for Top Job Asphalt. Now he's been at Convergys. I have to brag about him a bit..he's the top salesman there, picture on the wall and everything. I'm so proud of him. Its definitely a temporary job, but he's done very well there. I've been working at Logan Nursing and Rehab for the past 2 years now as a Certified Nursing Assistant. If you wanna hear some crazy stories..I have PLENTY! Haha. I love taking care of my residents. Old people are the best. I've learned a lot at this job. Especially patience. It's been a tough but rewarding job. We are so excited for what our next step is in life though. In about 2 weeks, the 13th of April we're heading out to Little Rock, Arkansas. Brian is going to sell home security alarm systems. It's door to door sales, very tough, but I know Brian is going to work his butt off and do the best he can. He's the hardest worker I've ever known. He works so hard in so many ways. I'm so proud of him for all he does. He's pumped and ready to go out and sale. I'm really excited to see how he'll do, especially where he's the top salesman at his job right now. He's already got a preseason sale under his belt, and the next couple weeks before we leave he'll do some more preseason selling. As for me while we are out there, I plan to find a job, just any job I can find really. I dont want to be one of those wives who sit around all day for the whole summer relaxing by the pool, shopping and spending the money he is out making, working long hours 6 days a week. I'm not one to do that. So I'm crossing my fingers that it wont be to hard to find a job out there, easier then Logan at least I hope. So the plan is to leave the day after my birthday, pack both our cars with all of the stuff we need and drive across the country to Arkansas. Luckily our apartment there is furnished, so obviously that saves us a lot of room and hopefully we can fit everything into our cars. AND we will be taking our 2 little kittens Chloe and Daisy along with us. Haha it will be an interesting trip I already know that. We bought a kennel that they both fit in comfortably, so I'll just have them up in the front seat with me. We'll see how that goes! We're so excited though its going to be a fun experience. So that updates a bit on what's been going on and what our near future holds for us. I'll try to be better at this blogging thing...:)
