Its been while since I've updated so I guess I better get to it.
A lot has changed since I last updated. I left the dealership about a week after Eric. It just wasn't worth the drive, I am currently working for a temp agency as a receptionist. Its getting me through the holidays. If they aren't able to keep me staffed at their agency, they are going to place me as a receptionist. Its nice having worked for them, because they know my skills now, and they want to find me something I can enjoy. They mainly staff for medical offices, so although I am not going into a medical field it gets me some medical background. Most medical receptionist they want them to have experience, so I am going to gain experience. However if they can keep me at their office, I would prefer that. I would literally 3 minutes away from home. I leave my apartment at 8:45, clean off the car, and am at work by 8:55. It is wonderful! I didn't even stress for the first big snow storm, I just took the neighborhood roads to get to work.
Eric has been working at the cabinet shop for about a month now. He really seems to be enjoying it. His boss will send him home a few times due to lack of work, but will pay him for the whole day. It is pretty nice. Eric finished up his Medical Terminology class online with BYU-I, HE GOT AN A! I was so happy with that. I can tell that he is dedicated to doing well in school! He is registered for one class this next semester, he can't do more, we have hit the no more online classes, with his degree, he needs to be in class. We are planning on moving to Idaho in early August. We want to stay here for summer, my family tends to do a lot for the summer and we don't want to miss out.
I honestly have to say my favorite time of not working was being with my sister! I spend so much time at Morgans house. I even learned how to crochet! I think she wishes I wouldn't have started. I am always calling her with questions now! I also spend so much time with Tyce he knows who I am and attempts to say Natalie! I love being an aunt but I also wish it was the time for Eric and I to start our own family. However, I don't think either of us are ready. I don't want to share my time with him just yet. I love having the freedom of not having a baby.
Our holidays were so fun! We spend thanksgiving with my family, Eric was able to play some turkey bowl with Derrick and Bobby. No one got hurt, we were all grateful. For Christmas we had Mom Daley come out and stay with us for about 5 days. It was so much fun to be able to show her Salt Lake. We went and saw the light on temple square, and just enjoyed our time together. Eric and I both had to work while she was out here, but it worked out well because Mom was able to get some work done as well.
We had the Bingham Christmas party on the 14th. It was a lot of fun to see Tyce and Lincoln open their presents. We enjoyed some homemade Olive Garden, we just had a great time. Eric and I stayed later than the other (that's what you can do when you don't have babies with bed times) and talked to my mom and dad about their recent trip to Disney World. Eric and I will be making the same trip in August with the Petersen Family. We wanted to hear the, what was worth it and what was a waste of time.
The Petersens were able to come out for Christmas too! I felt so blessed to have all my family in one place. I missed having Carrie and Koda as well as Chad and Nicole. But I was surrounded by family and it was amazing. The Petersens started a new tradition with Nerf Guns, on new years eve we all opened up our Guns, got them all put together, got ready to start shooting and found that our guns didn't work. We had to send Nick and Eric to walgreens to get batteries! After the batteries were in, it was war! We went and saw the light on temple square Christmas night. Kayla, McKay, Andy, Katelyn, Nick, Eric, and I were all playing on the snow that had become ice. It was super fun, but leave it to me to be the one that fell. I hurt my leg and wrist (from catching myself) my leg is fine, but I am still experiencing some wrist pain :(
On Friday we said goodbye to mom. It was so fun having her out where while we did, but Eric and I were happy to have our own bed back. A full size Futon is just not enough room! Saturday we were able to go up Eden and spend some more time with the Petersens, they were able to go snowboarding. I did not! I didn't want to AT ALL, I could just see myself getting more hurt. We played lots of games and just overall had a good time! I just love having family!
Overall life is just so fun! I have often found myself thinking about how lucky I am to have Eric as my husband. I love having someone I know I can count on. He did everything he could to get me to the eye doctor, and I finally have an appointment! (pretty sure this means glasses guys, my eyes are SO bad). Eric also helped me with school. My school Financial Aid, is being AWFUL! and I wasn't going to be able to make it in before they closed for the holidays. Eric went in to see if he could find out why my FASFA hasn't shown up. If I don't have FASFA I won't be going back to school. They wouldn't give him any information. But it meant a lot to me that he was willing to try.
Well I think that is about it for us. I am typing this while at work so I don't have pictures, but next update I promise i'll share!
