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!

Nights in Rodanthe Movie

Shake, Rattle, & Roll

There are few things I love more than sleeping beside my hubby. We seem to just fit perfectly for cuddling. Falling asleep holding each other is very sweet but waking up with an elbow in my face or me drooling all over one of his arms makes me laugh. Sam has a week off in between rotations so we have been being lazy for the past few days. Yesterday we were taking a nap when the earthquake happened. Flojo started barking fiercely and I sat straight up and heard what sounded like thunder. The walls looked like putty the way they were moving but I had no idea what was happening. Sam yelled, "Baby, it's an earthquake. We've gotta go!" I screamed and I didn't even mean to it just came out. I got half way to the door and turned back to get my glasses and grab my cell phone.

Now before the Jean/Cell Phone jokes start rolling in let me just say in my defense that I was worried that I would need to call for help. Even though this whole ordeal took less than a minute or two I had this vision of Sam and I being trapped in a pile of rubble with no way to call for help. Sam is probably never going to let me live that down but I maintain that I wasn't doing it out of my need for gossip.

So back to the story. I grab my glasses and cell phone and Sam pulls me into the door way. I was freaking out but I don't remember that. I remember that I couldn't move but Sam said I was shaking. He was highly upset that I had risked my safety to go back for my glasses and cell phone. He was telling me to snap out of it but all I could do was stand there. When it was over I let two anxiety tears run down my cheeks and hugged my hubby. That scared the crap out of me! I think what made it so bad was the sound of panic in his voice. Of course he was panicked because he was worried about me getting hurt. I survived my first earthquake folks. It was terrifying but Sam and I are already joking about it. Well, Sam is joking about me running back for my glasses and cell phone and I am defending myself. Me-I need my glasses to see! Sam-You know where the door is!

My final thought on this is that I miss the South where things make sense. Sure we have hurricanes but you get at least two or three days notice to stock up on supplies out get outta dodge. Ah, the memories of the storms. My dad coming home all mad because paranoid people had bought everything in Wal-mart. Hurricane Fran quote from Mr Ern, "Paranoid sons of *Bleeps*! Nobody buys milk unless there's a *Bleep Bleepin* storm coming. I'll bet there ain't a pack of batteries left in the whole *Bleepin* state! No *Bleep Bleepin* bread, all they had left were *Bleeping* bagels!" I'll let those of you that know him fill in the blanks and those that don't can use your imagination.

Are you going to have babies?

When I got married I became an aunt! I have three gorgeous nieces, Cassandra, Gracie, and Carolina. I have one handsome nephew, Felipe. The first time I met some of Sam's family they were sitting in the kitchen playing cards. Little Felipe was rolling around the couch and living room floor shouting "Girlfriend!" Since this was directed at me I turned about ten shades of red and Sam didn't do anything to rescue me. At least twice since the wedding Felipe has asked me if Sam and I were going to have babies. Sam and I both feel very strongly that we need to wait until he graduates so no babies any time soon. I get to see little Gracie on a regular basis and it is making me so baby hungry. Reading everyone else's blog doesn't help either. I knew like six people all pregnant at once. Also, my other nieces and nephew came for a visit and I got to spend more time with them. I even drove with them to Utah so I could help Erica move. I loved listening to them talk and sing to themselves and their toys. I even loved how they would yell, "Boo," whenever they noticed I had fallen asleep. Once when I fell asleep Felipe called out, "JEAN!" I turned and looked at him and he said, "I love you." I swear I wish I could hug all the cuteness off of them and keep it with me. I have even started thinking about baby names. Samuel with either Jay or James as a middle name for a boy. James is my Dad's middle name so I kind of want that as a first name but we'll see. Isabella Jayne for a girl in honor of Erica. Her favorite book character is Bella from Twilight and her middle name is Jayne. Sam and I wonder what our kids will look like. Will they have my curly hair? Will they have Sam's color or be pale like me? Will any of them come out with the blue eyes my Daddy gave me? I hope they are smart like Sam and I am betting at least one comes out with my rebellious attitude. Payback for what I put my parents through. Even though Sam knows I hope they all have his skin color, he insists I stop referring to our children as my little brown babies before they are born. LOL I guess for now I will just keep enjoying everyone's stories and wait for my little ones to join Sam and I.
