BYU football

We're gone to a few games this year and had so much fun! This last time Les Schwab gave us tickets we were three rows from the front! We could see everything it was so much fun.

Look at that view!

Lagoon!

I've been really bad with posting. (Sorry mom) One of the things Chris and I did this summer and fall was go to Lagoon! We bought season passes and spent alot of time at lagoon-a-beach and riding roller coasters! Chris' favorite ride was the white rollercoaster. I have no idea why though i HATE that one. Its so old and rickody i'm afraid its going to fall apart. Another fun thing they do is in October they docorate the whole park for halloween! Its so cool we love going to the haunted houses and spending time together. Here are some pictures we took the last time we went.
Everyone that ran ragnar knows runnings not always good for you!

Do you remember the hole in the wall?



I'm sure you remember the hole in the wall. Well last weekend Chris decided he would try and fix it. Its a good thing too! We're about to move and i was worried it wouldn't get done and our landlord would KILL us! So i here are some pictures! Chris did an amazing job especially with out having the right tools. I love that i married a handy man!

 

The finished product! He did such a good job!

I LOVE CHANGE!

 When I moved out to Orem I worked at my apartment complex at a cleaner/whatever they wanted me to do. After some changes that were made do to mistakes made by the previous secretary I got promoted after three months of working there to Secretary. I worked with Ledgers and rent with everyone that worked there. I don't know if it's good luck for me or bad luck for everyone else I've worked with but the manager I was working with at the time had no idea what she was going. She was terrible with computers and with managing apartment. It got the point where the residents would come to me and ask me to help them with their problems because they knew if I was told something was wrong it would get done! I worked with this manager for about seven months until I was finally so sick of it that I went to the owner and explained what was going on and things that needed to be changed. Well not even a week later she was fired we had a new Manager (Who I love working with!) and I was promoted to Assistant Manager! I was getting pay raises and paid vacation my first part time job started feeling like a real career the funny thing was I didn't even apply for any of these jobs there were just given to me and offered! I've loved working with student and managing apartments. Well about a month ago David one of the owners told me about a job that was going to be opening up soon at another property they own called Alpine Court. He told me if I wanted the job as manager its mine. It would work perfect if we were planning on having a family and until then I could still work as Assistant manager at Village. I was so excited of course I wanted it! But it wasn't going to open up until May or June. I put it to the back of my mind and didn't want to get over excited because it was so far away and what if the current manager changed her mind and wanted to stay. Good news! I had my year mark (more like year and a half) review and David told me the job was available DECEMBER 3RD!!! I was so excited I think my jaw DROPPED! So I'm starting December 3rd. I'm moving into the CUTEST little house right around the corner from the complex. It has so much character and lots of storage something we don't have right now. I'm so excited and glad that they see I'm working hard and earning their respect! Below is a picture of the new place i start managing in December.
