Good News...

I just wanted to share with everyone something that made me very happy this past week. I'm still the new kid at work, struggling to prove that I'm just as good as those who have been there for a couple of years, and this past week I made that happen! The company just decided that they were going to start awarding employee of the month throughout all of the stores, and guess who got the first ever employee of the month award. Thats right, I did! It wasn't just for my particular store either, it was for all of the Michigan and Indiana region, 18 stores all together. It brightened my day a little bit, and now my boss really doesn't want me to move away this summer!

Until next time...

Sorry....

Alright, alright I hear you!! It's only been 4 months, not that long!! Anyway, Nick and I made a spur of the moment investment today and bought an iMac. It is super cool and we have been playing with it for the last couple of hours trying to figure out how to use the darn thing. It is a lot different than a pc. Since I have a computer that isn't going to freeze up on me every three seconds maybe I will keep up on this thing a little more!! (I will try my hardest)
I just returned last night from a week long training in Grand Rapids for my job. Even though I have been there for over four months now, they still sent me. I went in with a little attitude thinking I knew everything already, but I did enjoy it and I even learned a few things about the company I didn't know! Nick and Nala were home for the week holding down the fort, but I know they're glad I'm home!!
While I was at training I had to miss my first week of classes at the college. Most of them this semester are online so It wasn't too big of a deal. I have it figured out that I will only have to take one class over the summer to finish up my associates degree, so I am pretty excited about that, and Nick just has two full semesters to finish his Bachelors.
Because my college here in Traverse City doesn't offer any science related degrees, we have decided (after lots of thought) that we are going to be moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana in June. I know Katy isn't very happy about us not moving to West Virginia, but as far as college goes it seems to make the most sense there.
Nick has a lot of family in Fort Wayne that we are really close with, so we are not moving blind, and my Bachelors degree will be coming from Purdue. The school IPFW is a smaller college that offers degrees from Indiana University and Purdue University without the bug tuition costs. We are both really excited about the move, and even though it's not West Virginia, it is 5 hours closer to West Virginia then were we are now!!
Well that is all for now, Nick is finishing grilling us some ribs in sub zero temperatures!! We are pretty die hard up here!!
Until Next time...
