My Life

I just realized I have not updated my blog in 5 months....my bad! Not much about the way my life is has changed. I now live with Brandon and Wendy, which is nice because I can get up each morning and go downstairs and watch Chase and Emma in my pj's. This also means I do not have to take my work clothes with me to their house. We moved from Salt Lake to Murray. It is such a nice place! I have my own "apartment" upstairs. I have my own room and bathroom. It is fun living with Brandon, Wendy, Chase, and Emma.

Moving on to work. Last update I was mentoring new staff. Since then I was given the opportunity to start coaching paralegals in Client Services. Which means I sit and listen to their calls and provide them with feedback, if they want it, on how to shorten call times, aftercall times and meet the stats needed in the department. After about 3 weeks of coaching, I was given the opportunity to start training the paralegals going from IWC to Client Services. This took 3 weeks of going through the classes again then slowly training sections at a time, while the full time trainer watched. Once he was sure I could do it, he let me be on my own. So far I have trained 6 classes. It has been such a learning and growing experience for me. The company has been making changes so a few team lead positions opened up. I applied for one and just found out on Friday that I did well enough in my first interview to move on to a second interview, which is tomorrow. The team lead would be up in IWC. I am so excited that I have a chance. I will update my blog when I find out if I got the job or not.

Moving on to my personal life.....what personal life? I am just going to vent for a second so pardon me. How am I supposed to find someone nice when the "nice" ones only want a certain type? Am I looking in the wrong places? I am really hoping my new singles ward will be my answer, although I am going to church to learn, not to look. We will see where this leads me.

I know I have missed out on the past 4 months of my life and only given you a brief update on the present. Maybe one day I will fill you in. Until then, keep reading :)

New Post

Well folks, the whole 5 of you that read my blog....LOL I have decided to update this fantastic blog just for my Aunt Katie ;)

My life is pretty standard right now. I have the privilege of watching my adorable niece Emma Grace and awesome nephew Chase Ian during the week. I also work an evening job at Lexington Law Firm. I LOVE both of my jobs. Although, I cannot technically call watching Emma and Chase a job because I am the aunt and I don't consider it a job.....it is a gift to me to get to spend more time with them. I only wish I could do this with all of my nieces and nephews :)

Updates on work: I started in IWC, was moved to Client Services, then finally back up to IWC to train new staff. I am excited that I am moving around and can learn to teach through what we call mentoring.

I was having an issue with my car....the muffler just fell off one day. Ghetto, I know, but thanks to my dad, I was able to get it fixed and now we are back to good.

I have been going to Vegas quite a bit lately. It is really easy when Holly and I have a friend who has an apartment and is willing to let us stay there ANYTIME we want. I am not sure what is so attractive about getting away but, at times, I find it very difficult to come back.

Recently I had the opportunity to see Wicked with a lot of the lovely ladies in my family. All I have to say is IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT YOU NEED TO! It will totally change your perspective on the Wizard of Oz. We went to Idaho and stayed in a hotel in Boise. It was nice and relaxing! Thanks Mom!!!

Well, this update is officially done.

Moving day...

Soooo I found a place to live in Salt Lake. It is house on a corner with a picket fence....it is so cute!

I will have 2 super nice roommates.

Well today is my partial moving day. I am going to be moving my clothes, a recliner, and my t.v. and night stand :)

Now all that is left is the big stuff, which will be moved next weekend.

On a side note, I am still loving my job!

When I am feeling more motivated to write on my blog, I will.
