AFCU

This month has been crazy busy, but lots of fun.  The biggest change of the month is probably that I got a job as a teller at America First Credit Union.  I had training last week, and have been at my branch for about 5 days now.  I still ask tons of questions everyday, but things are going pretty well.  The most eventful thing that has happened at work was when I set off the burglary alarm my very first day…basically I was swinging back and forth on my chair, and my finger went right into the button not to push.  My supervisor had to run around like crazy calling and telling people it was a false alarm… Good times.  At least it was still my first day so I can use that as an excuse, right?

But anyway, I really love the company I'm working for.  They have great core values and have everything structured really well in order to learn things quickly and be successful.  I'm also learning all kinds of financial things about credit and different types of accounts, so that'll help John and I start out on the right foot I'm hoping.  Having this job also means I'm getting PAID Yay, Finally!!!  I am sad I'm not doing a therapy job right now.  Some weird miscommunications happened between my old supervisor and I, so nothing really happened with the job I was hoping to get.  But to be honest part of me has always kind of wanted to be a teller... probably because I get paid to take holidays off, but I really like doing customer service jobs and having an awesome sense of teamwork with my staff.  Anyway, we'll see how long this goes.   It's nice because they have great benefits, so hopefully I can do this until a music therapy job becomes available or something.  We'll see :)  

Other than that, John has been busy working really hard.  Along with his CNA job, this last week he helped his dad rip off the roof, and has sunburns to prove it.  His favorite is probably the burn on his back between his shirt and his pants.  I say “favorite” because it’s the one that hurts him the most.  He really is amazing.  Last weekend when it was supposed to be the "end of the world" we celebrated by going up the canyon with some of my friends and roasting hotdogs and smores.  It was an ideal way to spend the evening, especially because the weather was so nice!  It's been so raining these past couple weeks, but I don't mind, I love the rain. 

My sister Debbie had her baby last week as well.  His name is Lance Andrew and he came about 3 weeks early.  When he was born he didn’t want to take any breaths, so they put him on the oxygen machine for his first 24 hours or so.  (I don’t know a lot of the specifics.)  He is still in the NICU right now, but they’re hopeful to be able to bring him home this coming week.
