After a month of unemployment, sending out tons (I lost count) of resumes, a few workshops, eight interviews, a few rejections, and a lot of frustration I HAVE A JOB! Yay! I am now an event coordinator with United First Financial. I interviewed with them last week and thought that it would be a really cool job but I didn't know if I had enough experience. Then yesterday I got an e-mail saying that I they gave the job to someone else, I was a little bummed but thought oh well. Well this morning I had just gotten back from another interview and the people at United First Financial called and said that there had been some changes and they offered me the job. I started an hour and a half later. Conveniently the job is in Bluffdale, less then ten minutes from my house. So needless to say, I am very pleased to no longer be part of the world of the unemployed and I am excited about the new opportunities that I am going to have!

Happy Fall!

I know that many people mourn the end of the summer, but I love the fall! So happy second day of fall. There are many things that I love about the fall, and it is by far my favorite season. Here are some reasons (in no particular order) of why this is my favorite!

1. Football

2. Changing colors on the trees (I love this and I am wanting to go on one last 4-wheeler ride in the mountains to enjoy this)

3. Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving! The most incredible food ever(especially with the Anderson side)

4. Halloween. For myself I have never been one for the dressing up portion so much(as I had some crazy experiences as a child which I am sure I will write about when Halloween grows closer) but I love to see all the cute little kids dressed up and out trick-ore-treating. And lets just be honest, what is better than a Holiday all about giving out candy?

5. Cooler temperatures. I don't like how hot it gets in the summer. Without air conditioning I would be miserable. I love the cooler temperatures and the crispness in the air that comes with the fall. The temperatures are perfect.

6. The expansion of my wardrobe. I love my sweaters and cold weather clothes. They are just so cozy.

7. Apple Dumplings. If you have never ate this delectible dish you are missing out more than I could ever explain. This is my favorite dessert.

8. First days of School. I used to love the start of school. Remember that line off of "You've Got Mail" about freshly sharpened pencils? I always think about that line at the beginning of school/fall.

9. Reed and Tommy's Birthday. (November 18th) This is always a highlight of the fall. The last few years we have spent the boys birthday at a friends cabin.So fun!

10. Apple Cider/Juice. There is nothing like drinking good apple juice in the fall. Even better is warm apple cider. Oh I love this and it is perfect in the fall. Can you tell that I like apples?

Pretty much I love everything about the fall, and these are just a few of the reasons. Happy fall!

I looked out the window and what did I see...

So this morning I was eating my breakfast and sitting at my families kitchen table. As I was enjoying my french toast my Dad yelled to my mom and I to look out the window. There in our garden were two large buck deer. They were enjoying our tomatoes out in the garden (just as they have all summer)and when they saw us watching they ran away. I wish that I had my camera with me so that I could show you how big these deer are but unfortunatly my camera was in the other room. These are three and four point deer. They are large and have that is partially in thanks to the buffet they have feasted at in our garden. Every once in awhile when we've lived here in Bluffdale we will see deer in the yard but it hasn't been too often. This year though we have had these same deer almost daily. We think that these deer live down in the gully behind our house and they come up to feast on our grapes (which are all gone) and our tomatoes. Then they take a nice refreshing drink out of the pond. They are pretty but I wish that they hadn't ate all of our grapes.

Priceless...

Having this guy NOT be a BYU fan: Priceless

I have a Confession...

I love things that are cheesy. And I am not talking about cheesy foods. I am talking about fabulous cheesy movies, t.v. shows, books, and other similar items. I just can't get enough of them. Even though they are absolutely ridiculous, I love them. A lot of the things that fit into this category have similar aspects. The dialogue is a bit ridiculous and there is typically a moral to the story. I have realized this before but I was reminded of this fact in my life last week when I went to the Redbox and rented the Disney Channel Movie, Camp Rock.

Pretty much I really enjoyed this movie. Also, I really like the Jonas Brothers and their parts in this movie. But lets just be honest, I really do enjoy almost all of the Disney Channel movies and t.v. shows. (Does anyone remember Even Steven's? I loved that show!)




Another excellent example of cheesiness that I love. Saved by the Bell. Really, I don't think that it gets much more cheesy than this. Can we just say Jessie's caffiene pill addiction/breakdown episode. I watched this again just the other day, and it was hilarious. But really, how can you not love Saved by the Bell and all types of similar cheesyness? I really just can't get enough.
