It might not be your idea of good...

During my first day here in Holland , Mi I me with my regional manager and I felt as though it went very well. He is very much like my dad, easy to talk to, but when it comes to business (which it always does) he is very business oriented. Anyway he asked me how my husband felt about moving and what his plans for the future were, I told him that my husband was willing to go anywhere so long as there was a good school for him to go to. He then proceeded to ask me what my husband was going to school for and I told him he was going to school for early childhood education. After he was satisfied that Joey would not be a factor in where he wants to move us then we moved on to him asking me about the business and probing me to see what I know, What are we supposed to read everyday before we ever take a customer, what do we call first off of the call list so on and so forth. I know that the girl that I am training up her will be a testament to what I know and how I can train and manage. The

Well my life is going in a very new direction. Since my last post I have been promoted to Studio Manager of the Newark studio. I am currently in Holland, MI running another district as a part of my training. I ran the district that I am in 2 weeks ago. I am almost done with all of the requirements of the DMIT program. I met my regional manager today for the first time today and he is really nice, all about work which is good (no drama). I would like to think that he will promote me soon but it is going to be a toss up since our busy season is coming up very quickly. Oh, did i forget to mention I am also running a studio in Holland and training 2 brand new girls. Even though I miss joey and the puppies like crazy this is a new and exciting chapter in out lives so it is worth it. Joey is taking it in stride too. we are now just waiting to hear where we might be moving.

So many things have changed since I have been on. I have finally received my diploma, so now I can become a substitute teacher in Ohio. Also, I have been doing the census and it is about to end, while I have enjoyed it very much and would live to continue doing similar work I do sometimes live in the real world and my job is working at PictureMe Portrait studios. Which I also enjoy very much and will soon be getting a studio of my own, that's right I will be a manager of my own studio. I have thought about this for a very long time and have decided to put the STNA on hold for now and be a manager if it doesn't work out then I have my other options. I am not sure on the pay but I will make it worth my while! The range is $9-$13 an hour. Like I said before if things don't work out I am not to worried I have a back up plan. Joey has started a new job as well, he really enjoys it there is a lot less stress than his last few jobs. His school is going good his semester is about

Well things just keep getting better all the time, my average has improved at work which my District Manager likes because the she can promote me out to my own studio. That would be great news because Joey could really focus on his school. Alexander had a really exhausting day, first when the storm rolled through he got really scared and ran to Joey for comfort. He was so scared that he was shaking. Poor little guy. :( Later he redeemed himself buy patrolling the yard with Joey after the storm had passed. The training for my new job starts this Tuesday it is for the US census. I am really excited to see how we will be taking the census. I think I have figured out how to work the most at each job but things might change if the census tells me other wise. We'll just wait and see. Joey and I have found a few places we want to visit this summer, hiking in Blue Rock  state park, the Columbus zoo and botanical gardens,  camping, horse back riding, and if we can afford it rock climbing an

Today my life is pretty good. Besides the fact that I had to wake up early to get to Newark on time today was a good day. The early part of the day was tiring I shot one baby she really cute, she had just learned to stand so she was still wobbly. The afternoon was a little different I had another baby who had just learned about standing, she wasn't very good at it but she tried hard. My last appointment for the day was an eight week old boy and he was just adorable, the parents were a lot of fun too. They were there for two and a half hours taking pictures and picking them out. He did very well for being 8 weeks old. After work I took my new favorite route home on the way I stopped and picked up our dinner (pizza from Domino's) it was tasty.  While eating dinner we watched The Big Bang Theory, we have really come to like this show a lot. Since Joey is sleeping on the couch I think we will be going up to bed. So I hope everyone has a good night and sleeps well.
