I got another job

So...the receptionist at Aria Salon just moved to Houston and she wasn't just the Aria receptionist, she was the head cashier at OFfice Max. Another cool thing is the manager at Office max is Shawn's (a girl I work with at Aria) boyfriend. So....I applied and the next day I took the drug test and background check and then the day after that I was hire on officially! So I start Friday. I'll be working from 7:30 a.m. - 2:00 pm at office max and then I'll be working 2-7 at Aria Salon and Spa. So...hopefully once business picks up at Aria I'll lessen my hours at Office Max....but if it doesn't pick up soon, at least I'm making guaranteed wage at Office Max....so I won't have to worry about overdrafting our account everytime I Get gas! Oh and another cool thing...I'll be getting paid 3x the ammount I'm getting paid at Aria in a week and Chuck Norris shops at the office max I'll be at! Cool huh? Well...I'm nervous cuz I think i'll be exhausted, but we need the money and Bryce has school so that's just up to me! wish me luck!

update

Hey, sorry it's been awhile. things have finally slowed down here. My parents came and visited for my birthday and Bryce made me an eisel!!! Cool huh? So now I'm officially an artist! lol. well work sucks, i have next to nothing at work which means about $50-$100 a week...not exactly enough but lucking bryce is making about $125 every 2 weeks so we have just enough for the bare essentials! So i'm job hunting again. I'm trying to pick up another job and can i just tell you my resume sucks unless i'm applying for a hair job? I've worked at 5 salons in the last 31/2 years and that's it! lame! I love it, but for a resume or application....not so good. I HATE filling our applications! Do most people remember exactly when they start a job and leave? do they really know addresses to all of their refrences and the address to their high schools? Rediculous! haven't these people of the "internet?" I mean come on....if they really care that much about the street address of a persons middle school...LOOK IT UP! Oh well...whatever. Anyways...I hate it and i know that it's going to be bitter sweet if I do get anotehr job...more work, less time with Bryce ( I didn't think that could happen) but we need it and that's that.
School's going good for Bryce...busy but good. He enjoys it and so I'm happy for him, but I never get to see him and he's always saying he wishes I got home later so he wouldn't feel guilty staying at school and getting more work done instead of coming home around when I do (usually 4 or 5). He says I'm a distraction, but I think it's mainly the x box (our new halo 3 donated to us by some friends) and TV. :) I hope all is well for everyone!

updates

This is what our kittens when we shut the door to our room so we can go to sleep. It's too cute. If we're anywhere near the door they'll try to grab us! Its' so precious!

No this is not upside down...The cats have found a hole in the bottom of our box spring so everynight as we're getting ready for bed they play up there...this is Jasper tumbling out!
Our cats are pretty much ALWAYS together...it's pretty cute...they'll often be found spooning together on the couch or sleeping on the others bum.

Well...not much is new...I'm on the volleyball team for our ward and Bryce played last week because one of the girls wasn't feeling well. It's a coed team and is SO much fun! Tomorrow's the tournament...but we're playing an undefeated team without one of our key players, so we probably won't place, but it's cool that we made it to the tournament! :)
Work is going alright...not busy enough for my liking, but I know it'll take some time to build my clientele up AGAIN! Bryce is crazy busy with school...his midterm was due today so this week has been nuts. He was probably at school at least 13 hours every day. 2 nights he left at 5:00 am and got home at 8:30 pm. It was lame! We don't get much time together because right when he gets home he starts working on the house, but in a few weeks we'll have 90% of the house done so we'll get to hang out more, which will be nice. The place is looking great....we ran out of crown molding AGAIN so we'll have to buy another bundle of that, but for the most part everything but some door frames and crown molding and our bathroom is done! It feels good to be done with the big jobs!
Hmm....what else??? I think that's about it...my birthday is on the 15th and I'll be 22....I still feel 18 so that's kinda weird! My parents are coming for my birthday and I can't wait! I'm so excited to have a few days with them and that we have a guest bedroom and bathroom for them! How cool! Well I think that's about it. Oh and you know that rumor that it's ALWAYS HOT in Texas? Well...it's not true...it has gotten down to 59 degrees this week...Bryce and I have been freezing our butts off becuase all of our winter stuff is in storage and we haven't taken the time to get it out. Man...I thought we were done with cold! I swear it follows us. Everyone here LOVES it becuase it's not normal...but we hate it!
Sorry about all the cat pics. I'm totally in love with our kittens and honestly, we don't have much else to take pictures of! When the place is done I'll post more pics or things other than our cats!

still going...

So we still work on the house pretty much every day after work/school...but luckily we're ALMOST finished with the big stuff, so it's just little things...like making pot racks, hanging up clocks...shopping for little things that I've always wanted. I finished most of the kitchen walls...now we're just left with baseboards/crown molding in the kitchen, and everything in the 2 bahtrooms...since we haven't touched them! We're not going to touch the base boards in the kitchen until we get the floors done, which will probably be like 3-4 months since we won't have the money for them until then. We ran out of our1,500$ budget so we're kinda stuck at the moment. Work is going alright...slow but alright. It'll pick up eventually and I know I will LOVE it when it does. Bryce is constantly reading...it's rediculous how much reading he's assigned...like 500 pages a week or something crazy....and it's not like Dr.Seus or anything...it's Karl Marx and stuff like that! He's amazing and still finds time to support me at my volleyball games (I'm on our wards volleyball team.) Oh...and PS....we're in nursery and are in charge of 10 kids every Sunday for 2 hours straight. It's pretty hectic and chaotic but It'll be good for us to have that kid time together. It makes the thought of having 1 kid look like a piece of cake after all those kids! Anyways...that's about it....hope all is well for everyone!

Jasper chilling (look at his legs) what a dork

Jasper asleep with his hammer..

Jasper, our little tool cat

The pot rack we made

The clock I looked everywhere for! Iwanted one to go right on the wall and finally found one at hobby lobby but the numbers were cheap vinyl and looked lame so I bought wooden numbers spray painted them and roughed them up...we love it, but it's not a very accurate clock to go by!

it's getting there...slowly but surely

The cats are exhausted.....
I can't imagine why?!!! They loved these...I had to yell and remove them BOTH at least 4x before they actually stopped, but I've got to admit...it was hilarious watching them hang from the curtains!

Painting our bedroom...Bryce was frustrated so I wrote him a little love note!

Although we might look happy...we're not...maybe excited (TO BE DONE) , but not happy

It's official....we're home owners...we bought a lawnmower for our dead lawn! :)

Bryce cutting base boards (no shoes, now saftey goggles, no problem)

this is what Bryce did when I said smile...but notice the door frame behind him? doesn't it look good? He's amazing!

Bryce nailing up some crown molding

Bryce's office #1

And again, but sideways...:) oops

office #2 (the cool red door!)

Bryce really wanted a red wall, so he got one! All we need in the office is our crown molding and the other door red and the corner pieces put in and it's done!!!

The guest bedroom (just painted it today) Bryce is putting the baseboards in there right now. I can't wait to set it up so it's not just where we store everything!! It'll be nice!!

Bryce framed 2 of these mirrors that were here...the frame before was just like the crappy crown molding....ugly and cheap!

living room aka: stash crap room as of now

crown molding not done yet (the red doesn't really look orange in real life!)

Our bedroom, new window treatments

one of the 2 nightstands I made (and designed) :) I love them!

our bed, and the newly made headboard/night stands. Oh and double click on this picture and you'll see the holes with light shining through...pretty nifty (and time consuming)
