2008


What can I say, it was a great year! I started out the year living in Utah with Erica. I had a job that I loved, super awesome friends, and an amazing boyfriend. I saw some friends get married and some having babies. Watched the Tarheels have an awesome year then get crushed in the final four. I found some old friends, planned to attend my high school reunion and then decided to skip it. I lost a friend. I moved to California and couldn't bare to say goodbye to certain friends. I got a new last name and a license with a decent picture. I missed my sister everyday and became even more homesick for the south! Realized California is even worse than I thought. I found the people here are pretty much like Texans but way harder to understand because they love California. I got a new job in a business I would have never thought I'd work in. I even improved my fake laugh!
I have set a few resolutions like learning Spanish and having FHE every week. I am still trying to get all these wifey jobs down pat. I need to set a schedule so I can get everything done that I need to. I want to keep in touch better with the people that matter to me. For the past few years I have honestly thought that I have been a better person with each "Happy New Year" I shouted so I hope to keep going that way. The funny thing is that most of my dearest friends lived around me when I was the worst I've ever been. Now that I feel like I am a half way decent person y'all live so far away. I never thought I'd end up so far from home. I guess the adventure continues!!

Working 9 to 5

I finally got a job!! On Wednesday I did my normal searching for jobs for a few hours. This time however I prayed before, after, and even a couple of times during. I applied to be an executive assistant for this Real Estate company even though I have no experience in that area. What did I have to lose? Anyway, he hired me! I am not his assistant, I don't have enough experience for that but I am basically an assistant for his office. It turns out he and the majority of his employees are LDS. It is a Real Estate/Loan Office/Financial Services all in one. This company is just barely getting started. I walked into an office will piles of paper everywhere. I was told basically that my job is to organize this and then to keep things organized. I am also going to make sure all the paperwork is in order for each client. The loud/funny guy who gives everyone nicknames is already calling me the office Mama. So right now I am going to be assisting eight guys. Eventually, they will all have their own assistants.
It is totally exciting and exactly the type of job I am going to love. I am hoping to learn a few things about all things Real Estate/Loan mumbo jumbo. Wish me luck!
