I was sort of sad the other day when I turned down that job that I interviewed for. But I felt like I shouldn't take it because what happens at the end of the contract if they do not renew it and I haven't found another job. I have bills and such that I have to pay that I can't afford to be out of work for any extended period of time. Windy sent me a bunch of plaid flannel to start a twin size quilt for Andrew to display his scouting badges.
Tonight for Family Home Evening my branch has a photo scavenger hunt where we had a big list of things to find and we had to take pictures of them. It was a rally fun time. Me ground has a blast!!! I recommend this is anyone looking for a group activity. There was a point value to each thing you found. Out group did amazing, but like any activity you have those few people who are so competitive that they argue to win, so my group lost by just a few points but it was still a blast. You should try it some time.

Job in Helena
Ash,
I got this as an e-mail from the Seminary teacher I work with. He and a ton of other people from the Stake work here.... Just an FYI
"I was looking at your blog today and noticed that your sister had posted about applying for an HR assistant position with Qwest. If she is looking for an HR Assistant position she may want to talk with Brandon Stienagel. Enterprise is hiring for that exact position here locally in Helena."
Though you may want to know…

Good Luck!
So the company is based out of Denver? Is that how I read it? You'd still be in Idaho right? Hope it goes well for you!
Are you getting excited to go to Oregon?

Job interview
So on wednesday I have a job interview with Qwest as a human resource assistant. Really what I am going to be doing is greeting applicants and administering a computer test to them and that sort of stuff. It is a contract for 6 months with a possible extension at the end of it. I will actually be a "consultant" for them. The company that found me is in Denver. Another "perk" is that I will also get a dollar fifty raise!! That is always exciting. In 90 days I can apply for benefits (the same as any job). I am really excited about it and will keep you posted.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Well it is St Patty's day, I hope you are wearing green. There isn't really anything going on in my life right now that is worth writing about. I am just working and playing:) Yesterday, just like every sunday I went down to blackfoot to be with Tylers family. We played some Rock Band, that is an awesome game, I am getting fairly good at the drums. I also had a lot of paperwork to do last night. I don't know why every week I procrastinate to the last minute finishing it before the dead line. It wont happen this week, I am going to do them every day so I can stay on top of it:) Then come the weekend I wont have to worry about it. There I wrote down my goal so it is actually a goal so I need to do it, right:) That is all that is going on right now, I did give you fair warning though that it is boring right now:)

Hey Babe! I love that new picture!! It's great. Sounds like you have a fun trip planned. You'll be missing the baby shower for Kayson. Hillary wants the shower on her birthday again this year so it'll be the 6th of April.
Hey, if you took your camera to Washington and have pics of the cousins post them so we can see. I haven't seen Sams kids...well... I haven't even met some of Sams kids. Bad Cousin, I know!!

It's official
I am going to take a trip to go see my cousins in Portland I am going to drive there on Thursday the third of April and leave on the 7th. While I am there we are going to the beach (which I know will be freezing), go to Multnomah Falls, we are going to this concert, it is like a circus that is all done with people. Josh says it is really cool to see, and we are going to go up to Seattle since I haven't been there yet either. I have it all worked out that I will only have to take 3 or 4 hours of vacation time. After I go then the only three places left on my list of must go to in the US is Hawaii, Washing DC and New York. I am really excited to go.

Memorial
Well My sisters that didn't go to Washington (that is you Jennifer:)) for Grandmas memorial really missed out. It was so good to get to know what Grandma used to be like. And it was so fun redeveloping relationships with our extended family. I had such a blast. So much so that I am taking a trip to Portland in April so see my cousins (Sams kids). I always wanted to go to Portland and now I have a reason to go. On and when I got back I found out that I got a raise!!! That is really exciting.

Winnie
yeah, she is a cutie!! We went to Petco yesterday and some woman had her Standard Poodle, also black, with her and it was funny to see the size difference. Too bad no one was there with a toy poodle (smaller than my dog).
She went to the store with Mark and Morgan, she loves car rides, when she gets back I'm going to try and get some pictures of her.
She's going in on Tuesday to get groomed. I'm not about to tackle that myself. All I know is that when she comes back she better not have any of those pompom things on her!!! Her harness,leash and collar we got her are all pink. I think I'm going to have her nails done pink too. Ok, maybe that's too much...
