Whirlwind of a week...or 2



I'm finally relaxing after what feels like a crazy, out of body past 2 weeks ( almost) that I have had. Although, I can't say it was too chaotic, adjustments into my working schedule have left me an old woman in bed at the latest 8:30 every night! :)
Last Tuesday I had a small meeting with Internet Truckstop in New Plymouth. I had heard that they were swamped with Graphic Design work and had contacted them about a possibility of them wanting me to do some freelance stuff, at most a brochure or logo, just something to fill in on the extra time slot in between waitressing & my plan to go to Grad School.
At 10 I walk into this meeting with the most wonderful woman Leigh, who then takes me over to get asked a few questions by nice man named Joel. He had his own office so I'm thinking he's a pretty big deal and leave his office with a full time job as their 2nd Graphic Designer!!! I then meet the founder of Internet Truckstop and have no recollection of anything that was said at that point on because I was in an astonished daze of happiness! I started the next day at 8 & just got my MAC all set up at my desk! I even get a name tag! I know silly things sounds very unimportant but OH how I feel special! ( and blessed, and privileged, and jumping out of my BONES ecstatic! )
Who does that happen to?! !!!!! Anyways, as you can see I feel so gracious and blessed that I have my dream job, now I just have to maintain it :)! Time has been scarce, jumping from one job to the next & with Tyler working graveyard our minutes together are few but that won't last too long!
My parents, Tyler and I went out to Boise today to do a little shopping, which we had one or two ...or maybe a few more bags of success! It's okay right? I'm working hard! haha!
Now it's time for some laundry and a great new book I got at Costco.. and maybe a nice cold Coors Light! :)

New Blog... kind of!


So, our previous blog has always been marked as public, yet would NOT allow anyone to see it! I tried and tried but something inside the little codes must have gone a little cooky, because a blog shouldn't be that hard to figure out! So here it is! Our new blog address! The great thing is I got to transfer my old blog hoopla to this one, and now everyone can see what I have been blogging! We aren't an invisible ghost of a blog anymore! :) Hopefully, now, this blog will help us with our goal of keeping our long distance friends and family in touch with our Eastern Oregon lives! Hooray!
