61 years and counting



On Saturday my family celebrated my Nanna and Pomps' 61st wedding anniversary!! My Mom and her sister, my aunt Sonja put together a nice tribute to them. We spent time reflecting upon their lives together. The start, ups downs and how they came to know of the gospel. Talk about two people in love!! From the moment my Pomp laid eyes on my Nanna he was smitten to say the least. His heart belongs to his sweet lips. I love these two people so much.

Happenings

My husband has been a busy boy. Though he has been cramped working from home in his little home office, he still manages to get a lot done. BTW, Barry is an insurance broker/business owner. Most recently he and his brother purchased an insurance agency in my home town of Eagar. Yup. So he has made the trek there several times now for business and will make a few more trips to organize everything. No, this does NOT mean we will be moving to Eagar at least any time soon. His brother will actually be the one moving closer. My husband is a very savvy fellow when it comes to business, politics, and well pretty much anything and I am proud of him and all of his hard work.

SAFE

I think it finally SAFE to publicly announce that I (for reals) have a permanent job. Yay, no more temping. I got myself into trouble when I prematurely announced I had a job when it was not finalized and I ended up changing my mind. For the past 6weeks i have been working at Ray Family Dental Care for Dr. Ray who is just older than Mark my brother. Here's the scoop:

I decided one day shortly after I turned down the job in Scottsdale that I MUST find a job close by and there MUST be a job for me. So I printed off 20 pages of yellow page listings for Dental practices in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Chandler and began calling each number listed. I did this for two days hearing "We are always accepting resumes" before I stumbled into Rosie. Rosie is the Office manager at Ray Family Dental Care. When I first called an assistant answered who couldn't give me much info. I asked her if there was a email that I could submit a resume and she took my number so "someone could call me back" RIGHT. fat chance I thought. On I went with my calling. So dun dun dunnnn-- a few minutes later I get a call from Rosie (Roseanne) who asked me how I heard that they were hiring!! Uh I didn't know you were, actually just making random calls. She told me that her and Dr.Ray had just gotten out of a meeting where they decided to let their hygienist go when I had fist called (thats why the assistant answered) She asked if I could come in the next morning at 9. of course. She told me that she knew this happened for a reason and it wasn't just coincidence and, well the rest is history.

I work part time Mon Tue Wed and some Thurs and Fri half day. And importantly its only a 20 min drive IN traffic. So beautiful. I like that I have a job. I have already seen some pretty great patients who really like me and who need lots of love and SCALING and ROOT PLANING. Its great. Here's what a day of work looks like for me.

I forgot to mention...


A little while ago one of my favorite friends Kiri made a surprise visit to AZ!! I had not seen her in a few years so it was real fun to see her face again oh, and meet her son Jacob (I was there when Adalyn was born) We were the "original roommates" at the Silk Oak house for years where we had lots of good times. She is one of those great friends where you can just pick right back up where you left off and feel like you didn't miss a beat. and she's a HOTT mom!! I sure love her!! She and her kiddos came for FHE. Along with pizza, song and lesson, we were mostly entertained by Adalyn who is seriously my favorite 3 year old in the world. She is sooooo smart clever and witty NOT KIDDING. She talks a million miles per hour and is very articulate. Thanks for coming to visit Kiri!!
