DEAR SANTA!

Well my interview has come and gone and I am one happy girl! To ease my nervousness before I even knew it was coming, Chase and I drove to the place my interview was on the way home from the Jazz game the night before. He is so wonderful and it was such a great idea:) That morning I left 15 minutes early and felt so good about it. I had faith everything would be the way it is suppose to. Well I got there a few minutes early along with 20 other people .....I have never been to an interview where 20 people were there waiting to be interviewed for the same position. That is when I got nervous. Other employees were talking to us, giving us advice, and we were all talking to each other:) Soon after, a lady who does the hiring told a lady who was sitting next to me that the 20 people that were interviewed yesterday and no one was hired. Then I got even more nervous!! I texted Chase (professional I know:)) and he just reassured me he knew I would get the job. It was reassuring for him to say that because I was having doubt here and there. They call my name, I go back, get interviewed, and after 20 minutes of questioning, she offered me the job!!!! She welcomed me to the airlines and proceeded to tell me I had to take a drug test, again, I got nervous!.... for NO reason!! I go pee in the cup and my heart is pounding like I smoke pot daily or something....lol. Of course, results are a-ok and after my background check results come back I was told Delta would be calling me. I drove to Chase's office, told him the news, he got tears in his eyes and was so proud of me. Mainly because thousands of people applied for the position and 140 got phone calls for interviews and like 40 get hired. In my group of being interviewed, 6 of us made it. I just feel so grateful and could not be any happier!:) Dear Santa, thank you for giving me what I really wanted this a year, a job with Delta Airlines! Minnesota, Idaho, Hawaii, Poland and New York we will see you as soon as we can!!

Delta, Jet Blue, Sky West...

Delta, Jet Blue, Sky West...The list goes on and on! I really would love a job at the airlines and quite frankly I think it would be neat:) I love Sunglass Hut but really?! I could do both:) Well to share with you the journey of applying for the airlines, it goes a little like this...1.) Check the website to see what they are hiring for 2.) Check to see if it is in SLC 3.) decide if I would like to go as far as being a "ramp worker" and standing out in the cold;) 4.) Decide that is not for me and I would rather love to do something like reservations...5.) Wait for a "reservations" opportunity in SLC to appear (which is rare.) Well, to my surprise...this has happened twice with Delta, once with Sky West, and once with Jet Blue! I had applied everytime and wasn't having very much luck until an "unavailable ID" popped up on my phone while I was at Sunglass Hut yesterday. I never answer those so I just let it ring and ring thinking "they will leave a message":) Well, Chase call me 1 minute after my phone had stopped ringing and he said, "Sweetheart, did you just get a phone call and not pick up?" Me: "yes" Him: "It was Delta!!!" and then a Voicemail message pops up! I quickly hung up the phone and checked the message! Sure enough it was Delta calling in regards to my application!:) I promptly called them back and had an interview over the phone. They lady whom I was speaking with imformed me I "passed" that interview and Delta will be contacting me with more information. Today they called again and I have an interview coming up for working with Delta airlines in reservations!!!! YAY!! I am so blessed and so grateful they called. Happy me:)

A Quarter Of a Century

November 30th 2010, I turned 25! As my sister worded it on facebook "you are a quarter of a century old!" AHHH!! I feel so old! I remember on the mission turning 24 and thinking that was old! Oh boy. Well, either way I love it and had so much fun with my husband. He was so good to me:) For my birthday we went to the Salt Lake City Temple and did sealings, walked around Temple Square and saw the pretty Christmas lights, and many different stenciled words lit up in one of those little white paper bags with languages from all over the World. Such as, Noel, Merry Christmas, Love, etc! and the nativy seen they have:) It was so beautiful and I loved every second! Afterward, we went to dinner at Buca's and shared the perfect meal for a cold winter night. It was the perfect birthday! and Chase got me flowers, with a sweet card, and a gift card to a spa.....:) Impressive right?!? I was very impressed! I love my husband!

Snuggles and Kubus

My mother in law came to visit and she brought their dog Snuggles. Kubus is very intimidated by other dogs but not Snuggles. We figured out quickly why...Snuggles is a tiny Wiener dog and Kubus is big black lab. He totally loved the fact he could
"dominate" when they would play! Chase and I were shocked but we got a big kick out of it. Kubus and Snuggles would play all day and night. When Chase would hold Snuggles, Kubus would cry like a baby. Or bark! Snuggles may be small but she had SO much attitude toward Kubus that at times he would get scared of her. We have video and pictures on Chase's phone that I will update later! It was so entertaining to us!:)

My New Found L.O.V.E

Growing up I think I always found fun in vacuuming..i'm not sure why! Well, I don't know that I love vacuuming like I did when I was young but something about our vacuum I have come to fall in love with! When we first got married the vacuum kinda bothered me, haha! I actualy strongly disliked it. Why you might ask? It is heavy, doesn't pick up a thing...and when it did pick something up-the filler upper thing filled up in 2 minutes! This would be the vacuum I am speaking of:
I felt like a gave this vacuum enough chances and it just wasn't making the cut for me. To my surprise after one day of vacuuming and being totally bugged that it wasn't picking up anything, I lifted it up while it was turned on and a lot of stuff shot into the "picker upper" hehe. I was intrigued because so many times prior to thatI tried to see if it was clogged and had to use my hands but little did I know, the problem was much deeper and it was an easy fix!! Now when I vacuum I love that 1.) it is heavy because I get a workout, 2.) it fills up fast because I know it is working and our house is getting CLEAN and last but not least 3.) the house looks so much better! Hoover Z 400...I love you:)
