haircut

I don't know what it is about pictures, but they always look so much different than things really are. Anyway, this is my new haircut that looks better in real life(I hope). The first picture is my attempt at making a model face like they have in the hair magazines. I love having short hair! My long hair was just in the way all the time, and short hair is so freeing.

Job

It is about time I updated my blog. I just have been so busy getting used to my new schedule and Ryan uses the computer for homework so I don't get to use it much :)
I know most of you know already, but I got a new job. I work in the Interlibrary Services department at the USU library. It is a great job for me, and it has a few nice perks. Take for instance, the fact that I now have access to a very large faculty/staff lunchroom that has a kitchen so I don't have to each sandwiches for lunch everyday anymore!!!!! I get to wear my wedding ring now, which I couldn't before at the UPS store because I kept catching the prongs on things and almost loosing my diamond. Also, I get to wear real clothes again! It is like I got my personality back or something. I no longer have to wear a uniform. I also get to eat lunch with Ryan M,W,F, and we carpool each day. I have access to a gym. Ryan gets half tuition next semester. I don't have to stand all day. I don't have to deal with customers, especially the grumpy ones. I love the campus atmosphere and it is fun to be around it again. Our insurance is better and WAY cheaper. Besides these added benefits, I like the job, I like the people, and all in all, it is a much better suited job for me.

Ode to Kia

Oh my Kia, the days have far gone
when we zipped around Logan
and loved all things sawn.

We spent two years or more
getting used to our kinks,
the only car I adore.

Your parts are now old
my bank account shrinks,
I hate to leave you in the cold.

I have no choice but this
to make farewells and
give you a last kiss.

I'll miss you Kia

Work

Well, today was my last day at the UPS store. It hasn't really hit home yet. I am sad though to leave my boss, coworkers, and a few regular customers. Sometimes I really hate getting attached to people because eventually you have to say goodbye. I wont miss the grumpy customers though. Let me tell you, there are plenty of those. I discovered there are many people out there who are onery complainers and I don't like them. I know, I am an onery complainer, but at least I am only like that with people who know me and can just ignore me or get onery back without getting in trouble, and not to innocent workers who are just doing their job and have no escape. Well there was a vent I wasn't really planning on posting but I did. Anyway, back to happier things, my new job, for those of you who have not heard, is as a librarian assistant in inter-library loans at the USU library. It is a salary job, and a job that I want and don't just need! I have wanted to work in a library again and I absolutely love the library on campus so it is a double scoop of goodness. I start Monday. I am nervous. I am also happy that I can see Ryan at lunch and we can carpool. I get to wear real clothes(no uniform) and have an identity again. And, I get to wear my wedding ring!!!!! I kept bending the prongs on it at my old job so I could only wear it on weekends.
Well, Brad, Candice, Heath, Kody, Aubree, and you nice customers, I will miss you a lot. You have been great, and have become my friends. Thanks for everything.

Long, long time ago...

I don't know what happened, but somehow I forgot to post pictures on my Thanksgiving point trip!!! Ryan and I met Mom and Dad and Jen, Garrett, and kids there. It was a lot of fun! I am missing some pictures so I will have to just describe some things. One thing was a pond full of Coy. There were so many that they were up against each other. Some of them were over a foot long! Another fun feature there is the waterfall. It is a VERY tall man made waterfall. I love water. The picture above is a pathway that goes around the rose garden. Garrett rented a golf cart so we got to take turns riding and resting because it was so hot! It was an enjoyable day!

Art

I was sent an e-mail a while back that had some cool photoshop pictures done. Here is my favorite.
I am trying to work on my art skills, so if any of you artists out there have any suggestions on how to do this, I welcome the help.
