Updates

Lets see, new happenings. Brody and I went out and bought a washing machine yesterday, we found it off of KSL so it was only $100 and works pretty well. We were able to get a dryer from Brody's sister Hayley so now we don't have to go to a laundry mat or ask other people if we can use theirs, which is nice (thanks to those who let us use theirs though).
Brody taught me how to drive his truck the other day, not that I didn't already know how to drive a stick shift, but I guess trucks are different from cars. I'm still a little jerky when I drive it, but I'm sure I'll get better over time, I just have to get used to it.
I still really enjoy my position as team lead, I even ended up getting an even bigger raise than they told me I would which is great for us. My only frustration with work is that we have lost three people in my department so it is really hard to get stuff done and I hate feeling like I didn't get anything done at the end of the day. They told Tracy (my department manager) that they were going to hire some more people for our department but than I also heard that they weren't going to, so I guess we will see.
Brody started school last Monday, he's not really enjoying it and complains about all the stupid freshmen that he has to deal with (he is finishing the very last of his generals) and isn't to bored with complaning either, but he knows that it is just something he has to go through to get to where he wants to be. But if all goes as planned he will get his bachelors in about over a year and than he may join the Navy as an Officer where he will have to do training for a couple of months and than the Navy will put him into Grad school for his psychology masters/doctorate degree. His duties will mostly be to help the marines/sailors & and their families suffering from various problems. Also another advantage about the military is that he will always have work regardless of the economy (and by that, he means if Obama wins). Joining the military is something he's always wanted to do, he prefered the Air Force but they won't pay for grad school, so he is stuck with the Navy, but we'll have to see if he wants to transfer to the Airforce after his contracts are done with the Navy, or we will give the civilian counterpart a try.

Anniversary

So for our anniversary we actually slept in till noon. At 4:30 we went on a hike and than we went out to dinner at a chinnese restaurant here in logan. After that we came home and watched the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour", which was pretty funny. We didn't spend very much money but we both really enjoyed it. It was mostly just being able to spend time with each other that we enjoyed the most. We have only had four days off together since we got married; the first one we went hiking together, the second one we moved all day, the third time we spent all day cleaning our old apartment and the fourth one was our anniversary. So it is rare that we get a day off together when we can actually do what we want together.
A team lead position opened up for the building materials department at my work and my department manager and zone manager asked me if I was going to apply for it, which I took as a hint, so I applied (I was thinking about it anyway) last Tuesday. I had heard about a few other people that applied for the position and I had reasoned out that I would probably get it (no offense to them) but two of them are rather lazy and have sour additudes and the other to had just barely moved to other departments so I didn't think that the managers would want to move them again. All in all though I was still pretty nervous about it, well I found out Monday that I got the position and found out that I also got quite a hefty raise from it too which works out really well for us. I am really excited about the position and I think that I will do pretty well as team lead. Really the only thing that changes is that I will be responsible for getting more paperwork done and I officially get to boss people around, hahaha. :) I started taking up some of my duties today (my department manager, Tracy, wasn't there today so he hasn't been able to train me on all the stuff that I am supposed to be doing) and it was nice to be moving up in the company after being there for so long. So far I really like the position and I think I will continue to enjoy it.
Anyway I think that's pretty much everything so I hope you guys are all doing well, we are.
