Settled In...

I know I can't blame almost 6 months of not posting on here completely on moving... but I'm going to try! Nick and I have been in the fabulous town of Fort Wayne for just over three months now, and have been loving every minute of it. I can't say I don't miss Traverse City, because I do, but we are making new friends and settling in just fine down here. The downfall to the summer here is that there is no water! One of our favorite things in Michigan was to spend our afternoons at the lake, and there is just no water here to enjoy!

When we moved here, I had three job offers all at once. I could manage a brand new Sprint store, work full time at another, or take a part time position at Radioshack selling cell phones there. I chose to take the part time position at Radioshack. Knowing that when school started back up I was going to have to be part time anyway, I didn't want to have to look for another part time position down the road. Nick was going to transfer his job at Best Buy, but when I turned down the management position at Sprint I recommended they interview him. They did and they loved him. He has been store manager since we moved here and is really loving what he does. I recently decided that I just don't love what I'm doing here at Radioshack and quite frankly I'm not a big fan of my manager. So, I talked to Nick's boss (who hired me once already) and asked if he would take me on part time back at Sprint. Nobody can turn down a beautiful red head, so I just put my two week notice in at Radioshack and will be back selling Sprint and doing what I loved to do back in Traverse City!! Nick and I will be working for the same company, but they are opening up two more stores next week, so we won't be working side by side. Which I'm sure is for the best!! :)

I know it sounds crazy, but I am actually really excited and ready for school to start back up. I think that because I have finally planned out my next two years of classes and know exactly what my degree will be, I'm just ready to get it over with! My degree by the way, will be a bachelors in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and will come from Purdue! Don't ask what comes after that, because I still have to figure that part out! Nick is in his last semester right now, just a couple of credits away from his bachelors in business administration.

Other than that, not a whole lot has been going on here. But, just in case anyone has forgotten... my birthday is coming up right around the corner!! :)

Until next time...
Nick and Sierra

I almost gave up faith. I'm glad you are going to be working at a job you love. It sounds like everything is going great.

Love, Aunt Tricia

Okay, now this is just ridiculous sierra! There is now one more person that you can't see very often that has gotten a blog with the reasons of keeping up with the few close friends and family she loves so much and you haven't posted anything since AUGUST!? Not acceptable! What about Halloween and the cuteness of your babies in their costumes? That is definitely worthy of a post. The holidays are coming, I hope to see something from you soon! Love ya.

Katy McKinley said...

Alright. So I now have a problem. It's 2010. Your last post was August 2009. I'm fairly certain that some big changes happened between then and now...but I wouldn't know because you haven't written about them.

Did you get engaged or something? Don't you owe it to the family and friends that love you to show us pictures or tell us ideas you're having about your upcoming nuptials? Seriously dude. You're lacking.

Emily said...

Agreed Katy, agreed.

Katy McKinley said...

Em,
Maybe if we keep writing on here and blowing up her email with all of our complaints, she'll actually think about posting something new.

Are you in?

Emily said...

I AM TOTALLY IN! I will not give up hope! Maybe we should guilt-trip her some more.

Katy McKinley said...

I know that today you are laying around your house like the little sick girl you are...which would be a PERFECT time to blog. I mean, what else do you have to do?

Emily said...

Hey Sierra... Didn't you go a-wandering through Traverse City this weekend? I wonder who you spent time with, what you did, what you saw, if anything interesting at all happened... I feel like we'd all really like to know :) !!!!

It's almost been an entire year since you've written on here. Epic fail.
