Jumping on the Bandwagon

I have finally decided to blog. I used to want to do this, and then everyone started blogging, and I decided I did not want to blog just because everyone else does! However, it seems like a good idea, and I do love to tell stories and share Josh and mine lives, so this seems an easy way to do so.

To start off, just let me update everyone on our lives, as they stand currently. If you have been in touch with us, you know this changes almost daily. However, we seem to finally have a daily, if not weekly, routine with a short term plan for ourselves! This is very exciting.

Josh started his job at Enterprise about 2 weeks ago, he is on week 3 now. So far he loves it! Unlike me, Josh loves sales and customer service and enjoys making people happy daily. He is a management trainee, and is learning all about Enterprise and their company. So far he is very impressed. He helps people rent cars, picks them up, and will be doing marketing to make sure that dealers and insurance companies continue to send business their way. He works long days, but so far no complaints. (For those that don't know, he graduated from Boise State University May 2010 with his B.A. in Criminal Justice.)

Unlike Josh, it has taken me a lot longer to figure out what I would like to do and to get that just out of reach College Degree. I took the semester off from BSU, but am already registered for classes and going back in January. I have changed my degree to Accountancy/Finance. (Is BSU the only university that calls it accountancy, or is that normal?) I'm excited to be double majoring, since for the last 4 years, I never had even a minor, and my major has changed regularly. As long as I enjoy my classes I think I have finally found the perfect degree/career for me.

I currently have 2 jobs of sorts. I  nanny for twins. They are 2 1/2 and every day is an adventure with them. I have been watching them since Oct 2008. Currently, I will stop doing this in December so I can get more regular hours at my other job as well as to get through school as quickly as possible. My other job is at Primary Health Medical Group. I am a customer service representative (CSR). Which basically just means that I check in patients, collect co-pays, and answer their questions. It was a rough couple months when I started, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it and am enjoying it, somewhat. I can at least see myself staying for quite a while.

That is our lives summed up, I guess. I know there is lot more, but those are the regularities of our life.

Today I have started my diet. I am going to try the slim-fast plan. The shake I had this morning for breakfast was delicious! I was very surprised and glad that there is at least one good thing about the plan I can stick to. I hope to lose 20 pounds by January, which is when I need to fit back into my wedding dress for our sealing in the temple. (Yay!) I hope to keep it off for as long as possible, and not let myself gain so much weight again!!

Well, that is a good start I think and will keep everyone updated as often as I can!

Love
Josh and Jennifer
