Another Blog Assignment

I am taking another religion class this semester from the professor I took New Testament from last semester. This time it's Doctrine and Covenants but we still have the blogging assignment so I will once again be writing blogs for a religion class. I gained a lot from this experience last semester and, while I do not like writing in general, am looking forward to writing them again.

But other than that piece of information, here's a few updates on my boring life: This past week we celebrated four family birthdays--Kami, Shayla, David, and Alexis' birthdays. It was great! For Kami's birthday we did a little bit of pampering and I got my first pedicure!! It was wonderful!!!! It comes highly recommended. We finalized our dates for our annual St. George parade of homes trip! We are going on Febuary 12th-16th and I am sooo excited!!! The only problem we didn't realize was going to be a problem is that it's the same weekend as our Stake Conference. Hopefully my mom can find someone to take notes for her so she doesn't miss the messages! Me and Kami also found out that we have some major kid-proofing to do in our bedroom. We had one of the kids she nannies take a nap in our room and he ripped the covers of some of my favorite books and threw the contents of my jewelery box all over the room--along with some other things that got messed up. Anyone who knows me knows that my books are some of my favorite things. My brothers David and McKay especially know this because they have returned books to me with the covers worn out a little or with some of the pages a little dirty and they know how mad I got at them. I was so mad I almost cried when I walked in and saw the ruined books. I began the task yesterday of taping them back together as seamlessly as possible since I can't replace them but they still are not looking too great. (You can tell I have a strong opinion on something if I keep going on and on about it--especially if it's something that most people wouldn't consider that big of deal.)

On a happier note I love my new job!!! Given my love of books it's not surprising. I work at the circulation desk and the LRC desk. The circulation desk is where people check out books and the LRC desk is where people go if they need to check out a movie or CD or something--they're kept behind the desk so we have to get them for the people who need them. I love it!!! I just finished the library new employee training so I've already got a 10 cent raise!! The pay wasn't that great to begin with and it still is less than I was getting doing early-morning custodial last year but the other benefits of the job definitely make up for that in my opinion!! At least this job has something to do with what I want to do for my future career.
