JUMP IN

We'll It is official I am the new manager of the Optical at Superstore. What an incredible opportunity. One of my good friends was phoned to interview for the position and she told the gentlemen, that she did not want the Manager position but would come and work there with one condition, if I came and worked with her. We set up an interview thinking Chandra would manage and then I would take over once I was licensed. However the gentlemen that did the interview thought it would be a good idea to have me become the Manager right away. So nervous and excited I accepted it. It is such an amazing opportunity for me. My confidence will soar, I will learn so much working with Chandra, she is an amazing optician and I hope to be as good as her one day. Financially it is a huge advantage for me and mark. I will miss my job at the Eyeware Place as I loved it there and most of the people I worked with, but know that this is to good of an opportunity to turn down. So now all I have to do is jump in and hope for the best!!!

FAMILY HOME EVENING!!!!!

We'll we though it would be fun to change things up for the night, instead of reading and studying we thought we would devote the night to our puppies, and take them to Bud Miller Park for some fun playing. The trip there proved to be not very fun as Molly threw up all over my pants. Luckily we had some wet wipes in the car and I got cleaned up. So of we went to Bud Miller Park , the dogs had a blast running up and down hills, chasing people, taking pictures and sniffing for stuff. The ride home though again proved to be very frustrating as Lily also decided to throw up this time on Mark's nice coat and sweater. I guess feeding your dogs rib bones is not a good idea. I have to say though even with all the throwing up it was a fun night, and felt good to get out of the house.

THE HUSBAND IS GETTING IN THE WAY!!!!

We'll I think my heading pretty much sums it all up for you. I am trying so hard to be strict and study every night for 2 hours and work out for an hour. Mark however is not liking this, he wants so badly for me to come in to Lloydminster with him tonight as he has a church meeting, and then afterwards go to this place called the Sticks and play some virtual golf. I want to go so bad, but I must not give into temptation. I must be firm and do my studying. So off my husband goes, with a big pouting lip, and a sad sad look on his face. Ahh he is killing me. This weekend though I plan to party it up and have some fun at a Edmonton Eskimos game.

DETERMINATION

Well it is 10:40 at night and by the time I finish this blog it will be 11:00. I am not all that tired yet, so I am sitting here contemplating weather I should pop some popcorn and watch a movie or get in my workout clothes and run on the treadmill whilel I watch a movie. As I look down at my stomach and see a tummy there that use to not be, I think I must go with option #2. It will take a lot of will power as that popcorn is calling my name, but I think I can do it. So off to get in my workout clothes and pick a movie for the night.

CRAZY LIFE

So I thought it would be fun to start a blog this year as there are 3 huge goals I would like to accomplish. I thought a blog would help me to keep track of these big goals, and my little ones to see if I am progressing and getting them accomplished. The three big ones are;

1. Finish my Optical Sciences school through Nait, so that I can become a Licensed Optician. This entitles getting over a 63% average in the course, passing my practical exam called the NACOR, and getting over 1000hrs of practicum work. wow lots to do and only a year. I know it can be accomplished thought, with hard work and determination.
2. I am starting Piano Lessons every Thursday night from 6-7, so that I can finish and teach. I have a huge love for music, and would love to teach little children one day, so then can learn to love it as much as I do. I am hoping it will only take me two years, and then I will be able to teach.
3. Mark, myself, and some friends of ours are going to be training up to run a Tri-athalon. I have never run one before, but I think it will be exciting. I let myself go these past two years, and need to get back to the way I looked when Mark and I were first married. I am hoping this Tri-athalon will help motivate me.
So yes a very busy life for myself this year, I hope I can accomplish these three goals, and also keep up with everything else I have going on, church callings, keeping up with house work, and spending time with my wonderful husband, and three adorable pets.

CONFUSED???

Trying to figure out this blogging thing is somewhat confusing for me, I don't know why, so this might be my only post, but hopefully I will figure it out
