First day of school

Oh my. It's been a busy one. Happily, i am not starting school. Sadly, i still have to deal with all the students, craziness, minor meltdowns of the semester start courtesy of my job.

Today was also David's first day of work so it was new for us. He has to get up early and leave the house by 7 to get up to his job by 8. Hopefully he can work with his boss to be able to come in earlier or later to miss some of the rush hour traffic. (and hopefully we'll find a house soon so that the commute will be cut down by more than half.) Well that changes my schedule a bit too. all summer we have been driving or riding to work together so it was my first day to go it alone. I decided to ride because it is much faster than walking. I soon realized it wasn't much easier. It's different riding in the summer when there are so few students to weave through. It took so much longer today because there were so many other walkers/riders to deal with. Not looking forward to doing it again tomorrow morning, although I'm going to try a different route.

So i was sick of students by the time i got to work. Not really good when i know I'm going to have to be dealing with them all day. It's all gone fine. No major catastrophes but it has been kind of annoying to have a higher volume of questions (some legitimate, some stupid) coming in all day long. On the other hand, it's nice to finally have a day that has gone by quickly.

So the first day is over and i am more anxious than ever to leave this job and head up to Salt Lake and be settled for a while. On that note, I have a job interview in Draper on Wednesday and after that I will be going to see some houses. Thanks to everyone that has been helping with the house hunt!!! (Carebear, Mom 2, Sukie, Wudan, Striker, David) I think i would be having a continuous breakdown without you! I really appreciate the help!

Please continue to send good vibes/prayers and ideas etc. our way. Thanks again all! Hopefully we'll have a house warming party soon :)

I'm excited to hear where you end up! I can totally commiserate with you on the first day of classes at BYU. It was like the worst day of my whole year. Sounds like yours went smooth enough though! Good luck on the house hunting! That is so exciting! :)

Wow, good for you guys! It sounds like things are starting on the right foot. I hope things continue to go well for you. I'm bummed I won't be there for your future house warming party :(
