Jobs, life

Josh started his new job today at Costco. He works in the meat department there. He told me after work that there is a lot of stuff to remember, all the different cuts, how to put the meat in the dish and other stuff like that. I know he'll do well, though. When they hired him, they told him he would get about 25 hours a week. Well, he got his schedule and they had scheduled him for 40 hours this week, not that we are complaining! The money is good, and it will definitely take some stress off for bills for the summer since my work is basically over for the school year. I now need to find a summer job to help pay the bills as well. Also so we can actually do stuff like go to a movie now and then. ;)

I'm getting excited to start teaching in August. I can't wait to get my classroom and decorate it and do all the fun stuff to get ready for the school year!

What a weekend!

My sister came into town on Friday morning from Iowa. Her husband was going to California with a group of kids from the school they work at, and he dropped her and their son off to spend the weekend with us. My other sister came down as well to visit. It's not very often that my family is all together, so it was fun.
Friday we just kind of hung out. I took a walk with my nephew that evening and we walked up to the temple. He got out of the stroller and watched ants walking around the ground for a minute before we headed back home.
On Saturday my parents, both my sisters, Josh and I all went to the temple. My mom and I went first thing since it was my first time going, and then the rest of my family came later. It was a great experience!
Later that day my sisters, my mom and I took my niece and nephews to the splash park. They had a lot of fun! Both of my nephews ran around the whole time we were there. My niece stayed closer to her mom, but would follow her big brother around any time she could.
Needless to say, we had a great weekend!
