New Job


So I just started a new job in the finance department at Stampin' Up! It's doing the same general thing that I'm used to doing - accounting - but the atmosphere here is SOOO much different than what I'm used to! Everyone is HAPPY!! The people are so pleasant and positive, it's incredible! There's a reason this company has been around as long as it has! I'm really excited about working here (not to mention stocking up on some fun products!!) :) Nothing much has changed other than this. I'll try to post more often - even if it's boring. :)

New Ward

So we went to our new ward for the first time yesterday. It’s definitely…..different. It’s a pretty good mix of new families that have one or two children, to older couples. I must say I miss seeing hundreds of kids in sacrament meeting, and about a dozen or more pregnant ladies at a time. We’re probably the youngest couple in the ward. Whenever we move, that always seems to be the case. Makes it a little intimidating to make friends, but I’m sure we’ll manage.

I went to ward choir after church - there are some incredibly talented people in the ward (The Day family - owners of Day Murray Music - being some of them.) I'm trying to get more "involved" - It will be fun to be surrounded by music again!

We both agreed that the ward is going be quite an adjustment. We will miss our old ward friends a LOT! So goes the cycle of life I suppose... {sigh}
