new job

So for those of you who don't know yet, I applied for a new job within the same company. guess what... I got it. I am now the official center manager of the Idaho Falls West center head start. in other words I am basically the principal of the center and manage the staff. Sadly I did have to take a cut in pay for the job but it is 40 hours a week and comes with insurance which I think will be worth it. Plus alot more responsibility and staying busier. I hate to go to work with nothing to do, makes the day drag on.
So today was my first day on the job. I have done this job before temporarily so alot of my training this week is just a refresher but I didn't realize how much I had forgotten. Man the time flew by. My family is great they are all supporting me in the job and can't wait to volunteer at the center. So it is a great way for my family to learn service outside of the church. I do miss my old job. I worked with the greatest people and I will miss them alot but the crew I am responsible for will be good also, it will just take some time to get to know them better. It is hard to make a change and leave your comfort zone but a lady I work with put it this way; if you don't get out of your comfort zone and stretch you will not ever grow as a person. so I guess Leta I am trying to grow. Scary as it may be.
Spend the weekend at Mom's and loved every minute of it. I so look forward to going down and dread when it is time to go home back to reality. It seems that mom and dad's house is an escape from the rest of the world. You just seem to forget about all your troubles most the time and focus on the here and now and what is really important. Family. I laughed till I cried messing around with Nikieshia this weekend and am more relaxed the kids say they like me better because I seem happier when I am there. I guess the saying is wrong about not being able to go home again. and the other is correct, there is no place like home. and to me home is where your family is and the more of them around the better home is. We did go looking for christmas trees as usual this weekend but sadly we bought a fake tree this year so we didn't have to go to all the trouble of looking for a tree it was kind of nice to just be able to wander the desert and not have to compare tree to tree for the perfect one. it was just nice to explore. Even though according to Dakota Grandma got us lost and we had to go up and down mountains. funny little boy.
Anyway if you didn't get the jist of it we all had a great time and look forward to the next time we get to go down. Hopefully to Baptise Tristen, around the time Brennan comes home so it makes it easier for us all to get together for one trip rather than two. Let the count down begin!!!
