And the sun breaks through the clouds... if only momentarily

Well, I need to be a little more regular with my blogging, I know that I keep saying that and then I don't deliver, but oh well. I'd really like to start a cooking blog. A friend of mine started a cooking blog, and I just thought that would be fun. Nothing terribly fancy, but just posts on my favorite recipes and things I've made for my family. I don't fancy myself the best cook in the world, but I certainly know how to cook. And I know how to cook what my family loves (and isn't that what counts?? hehe). We'll see if I can ever find the time for that, though...

So, work is going well. I'm really impressed at how fast I am moving up there and certainly feel that my hard work is being noticed and appreciated. I enjoy helping people, and that's what I spend most of my days doing... helping other agents ensure that they can help their customers. And when I'm not doing that, I'm helping my Supervisor complete mounds of paperwork. He says that I'm better at it than he is... but that seems a little "fishy" to me! Oh well, I'm okay with it, and that's what counts. My days off have changed.. instead of Tuesdays and Wednesdays off... it's Monday and Tuesday now. The first Monday off (yesterday) was a little strange because I kept feeling like I was supposed to be somewhere!

Hannah is doing really well in Kindergarten. She actually has a field trip to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden today that I'm going to go help chaperone. She is really excited, and keeps telling me that I'm her partner today, and she can't wait to go! I'm kind of excited as well. I love volunteering at her school. I love St Joseph's... they are such a wonderful school and I'm very happy with our decision to put her in a private Catholic school, and not a public school. No offense against public schools, but I think that this was a better option for us and for her overall.

David is going to be working at Lifetime Products starting next week, which will bring an end to some very hard times for us as of late. I'm very excited about this, and I know he is as well. Life is starting to look up... and the sun is starting to break through the clouds....
