One Year Down... Eternity to Go!!!

It's hard to believe that Gary and I have been married for a year now! It has been an amazing year and I'm really thankful to be married to him not just for time, but for eternity. Everyone says the first five years are the hardest... if these years are "hard" I really can't wait for the easy ones! We have been blessed to not be faced with any major trials or disagreements. We are really just happy and in love!

For our anniversary we went to Salt Lake City! We first went to Ikea and shopped around. Gary was AMAZING and made sure that I saw everything in the store. He was so fun to shop with! Then we went out to a yummy lunch after which we checked into our Bed and Breakfast! We stayed at the Parrish Place . After taking a short nap while Gary read, we went to Gateway mall for more shopping! and a movie. We saw, and loved, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Since it ended at 11:30 we then called it a night. The next morning we woke up to a lovely breakfast in bed! We checked out and took the scinic rout back home just in time for dinner with the family! It was a really great weekend away.

MOVING!

Most of you have heard... Gary and I are moving to Denver August 28th!! That's about 3 weeks away now. I'm extremely excited to get out of Utah and move on with the next chapter in our life. We're looking for jobs but have 100% faith that everything will work out nicely.

In the mean time, we're still carrying on our daily rituals. I'm now working as receptionist/activities director at the Charleston. Long story short, we don't have anyone doing activities so I'm putting together the calendars and on Tuesdays I even get to do the activities with them! It's stressful and I really don't enjoy it most of the time but I'm the type that likes things to be done the right way so I just take the initiative and do it myself. Actually, really... I love playing with the residents. I just don't like gathering them all together (going to all 64 doors and asking them to come down...). And today a coworker that I had admired and respected really threw me off guard and started yelling at me. Yeah... that's a nice way to start the day! NOT! I tried to just brush it off and not care but I couldn't help but to loose a lot of respect for the poor girl. I'll have to pray about that one. (update: 2 days pass and we're back to good standing.)

Gary is still working at the same place. (I don't even know what its called) He does customer service and is actually the team lead so he deals with the REALLY angry people. He seems to do a great job at anything he does though! He and his dad are working hard on their companies too so Gary is always working and trying to become more successful! He's really quite amazing.
