I have been given the chance to move up in my job and become the New Accounts Officer. There is a lot of responsibility with this job. It has all of the things that an Assistant Manager does without the title. I believe it is my works way of seeing if someone is a good fit and can handle the pressure of all that they want. I went in to interview for it on Wednesday and will find out with in the next two weeks if I got the job!! I will be at the same branch so that much will not change.
I am loving my new branch!!! My co-workers are so friendly and made me feel right at home as soon as I started. My new boss is amazing and has helped me to feel like I am not only wanted there that I am needed and appreciated.
I also got the great news that I will be an aunt again today!!! The great thing is it could not of happened to a greater couple. Adam and Lindsay are the best parents I have ever seen and I am glad that my new niece will be in their family. I know that they don't know what she is having but that is what I am hoping for them and for Sara. She is feeling a little out numbered by all the male cousins. Congrats Lindsay and Adam!!!

The Small Blessings
I know that I have been talking about the small blessings that I get everyday. Well I decided that everyday I will share what small blessing I got that day. I want to start looking for them everyday and on those days that I feel like everything has gone wrong, I can come back to this and read of all the ones I have already been given. I would also love if any one that is reading this to comment and share one that they got that day too. That way we can all see the wonderful ways that we are blessed everyday.
My blessing today...... well let me get you some background. I had an interview today for a position at my branch "New Accounts Officer" and Cody from Provo branch also had an interview today for the same position at his branch. We were told that we HAD to carpool up to the Corp branch for the Interviews (in Ogden). I got the chance to work with Cody while I was in the call center so I did not have feel awkward about the drive. While we were talking in the car on the way up there he was asking about our new house and how we liked it. While we are talking about the ups and downs of buying a new construction home I mentioned that I didn't even have blinds (just sheets and towels) in the house. It just so happens that Cody's father owns his own business selling and installing blinds and drapes and his cost is less then I found at Home Depot or Lowes. What an amazing thing that as we are now just in the position of being able to get blinds for our home, I just happen to HAVE to car pool with someone that could not only help me with it but for less then we were going to pay and they will install them for me. Which if you have ever worked full time, raise a family and tried to get a new home in order you know that it takes a lot of time, that you have very little of. So to me that was a wonderful blessing, not only is it saving me money but it also saves me time!!!!

The Routine
We are finally back to a routine. Since moving in we have been trying to get into a routine but with so many changes we have had to change things again and again. Now the kids are back at school, I am on a pretty set schedule at work and getting up at the same time everyday and all us able to be together every night. I get to start work every morning at the same time, which is great!!! I am able to get up at 6:00 get ready, then get the boys ready at 7:00 and Finally get Sara up at 7:45 just as I am leaving the house to get the boys to school. Once I drop them off I then get to take my time to get to work (no more rushing)!!! My day varies on when I get off (depends on if I close or not) but I am home by 6:30 every night around the same time as Ryan. We get to have dinner every night together and then have Scriptures and Prayers. Ryan and I get to spend our time together before we go to bed to share our day. Not only do we spend more time as a family we also feel closer for it.
Now this Saturday we get to spend sometime with our family. We are so grateful to be so close to family and plan having some fun with them. I am looking forward to building my friendships with them. I look forward to building a lot of friendships now that we live in our house and have wonderful neighbors. I look forward to all that my lay ahead. I am grateful for all the small blessing that continue to be shown to me everyday. I am even grateful for the challenges that continue to happen (even when I want to scream). Because I know that to have true happiness I have I have to earn it. So I will continue on with a prayer in my heart and my arms open wide for what ever life may bring.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Last night was very quiet since Sam and Sara were spending New Year's Eve at their friends house and David wanted to play games. So Ryan and I went to bed early. While I was laying there watching tv trying to stay up I came across a movie I have heard a lot about but have never seen "An Affair to Remember". It is metioned in "Sleepless In Seattle". Now I know what all the hype and crying was about. While I was watching the movie Midnight rolled around and I could hear all the Fireworks going off. I got up and went to the balacny and saw how wonderful our view is. I could see all of the fireworks from across the valley. Up and down the mountain were beautiful bursts of color. It makes me feel like everyone should come to my house for the 4th of July and we would have a great time without having to drive anywhere.
I think that is the great thing about a new house. All the little things that you did not know you had. Like a view that shows you all the firework displays, neighbors that come over and shovel your drive and being so close to family!! What a great way to start the new year, thinking of all the great blessings that are in your life.
