My New Job!!

So the point of me moving back home was to make as much money as I could before I got married and moved back to Logan to finish school. I've had my daycare job since I've moved home but I've also done work for my dad's company and now for my mom.

My mom works for the school district in the testing department. My job is to go to the different schools in the district and test the ESL and ELL students to see how well they are learning the English language. Well for those of you who don't know, my major is English teaching with a minor in ESL...

I LOVE MY NEW JOB!! 

It feels really good to have a job that I like and that I'm actually really good at. I feel like a teacher testing students and I love it! It just feels right! Sure these are elementary age students and I'll be teaching  secondary age students, but being a teacher is something I like. I'm so excited to go back to USU to become a real teacher! I love my new job! 

Outfits of the Week: February 25th - March 2nd

Monday I wore my black legging/jeggings and my gray jeweled top and black vest from Vanity. Not the best picture. It looked a bit better in person. 

Tuesday and Thursday I had work at the daycare. I honestly don't understand why they makes us wear white and tan for working in a daycare. I deal with messy kids and babies with dripping bottles and crayons. It's not the smartest idea to make us wear light colors. I feel like I have to clean my work clothes after every time I work. (But I have two shirts now so I can trade!)

Wednesday I supported my USU Aggies!!! I'm getting really anxious/excited to go back to school soon! I really like this shirt and I got it at Walmart!! 

Friday I wore one of my favorite outfits ever!! I wore my favorite red pants, also from Walmart (seriously people, I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money on clothes) and then a gray tank top that I've had forever and my new black cardigan from Target. I'm sorry I forgot to take off my ID badge from my NEW JOB and it caused a weird glare. I loved this outfit!! Note to self: wear it again!

Saturday I wore jeans and a t-shirt. I didn't even do anything to my hair really. I'm from Utah, I support the Utah Jazz even though I'm not a huge basketball fan. I spent the weekend in Logan so Chris took the picture and didn't understand the concept of a full-body picture. But I forgive him. :)

I forgot to take a picture on Sunday which is slightly depressing because I looked great! ;)

Firework --Brooklyn

So I've known this little girl basically since she was a baby. Her mom is great friends with my mom and when my mom was in labor with my little brother, we stayed at this girl's house. Her mom is almost like a sister to my mom.

I've sort of watched Brooklyn grow up, and all I have to say is that this girl is so inspiring! Brooklyn is deaf but she has never let that stop her in anything. Brooklyn was Miss La Verkin 2012 and she did a fantastic job of inspiring her community. I think she's a beautiful girl and she is just incredible!

Please enjoy this video and share it with your friends!! She's extraordinary!! Good luck Brooklyn in everything you do!

Walmart Adventures! 3/2/2013

I go to Walmart a lot when I'm in Logan because it's kind of a great store for poor college students. And you can find the craziest things in Walmart. There's a whole website about it! But I'm starting a new segment on my blog called Walmart Adventures to document my Walmart experiences!!

So I started with a game of dress up. I put on an Iron Man mask and a red cowboy hat!

I was very disappointed in myself because there was an aisle where someone had taken the end of all the plungers and stuck them to the ground, but when I went back to take a picture, a worker was cleaning them up. So I didn't get a picture. :(

I saw a bottle of Mountain Dew (that I think was already open) working on its camouflage. It did a pretty good job.

I decided to play a poorly executed prank.

Move the box and... SNAKE!! 

In the candy aisle I found scented paint, erasers and pens. Hmm... yes their scented, but not edible. It's kind of misleading to put them by all the candy and gum. 

We saw lots of animals that danced to LMFAO songs...

So obviously we pushed "Try Me" on all of them and ran. ;) 

We didn't do it, but we saw a fallen egg carton... full of confetti filled eggs. Why was there so much Easter stuff when the next holiday is St. Patrick's Day? That always annoys me when stores get too excited for holidays. 

Apparently it's break up season in Logan... No more Ben & Jerry's. 

But the real purpose of our shopping trip was STAR WARS!!! 

Chris deliberated long and hard for the perfect Lego set. 

But after what felt like forever, he found the right one! 

All and all is was a great Walmart Adventure!!
