My new Design

So, after a lot of work, and confusing stuff, I finally have my very own personalized background for my blog. I designed it on Adobe Illustrator, and thanks to about 9 emails back and forth from a lady in TX named Teresa, we got it onto my blog. I had to update my template, and go through a bunch of hoops to get it up there. So tell me, what do you think about it? I kind of like it. and I will be doing custom ones in the future from now on now that I know how to do it. Thanks Teresa (if your reading this).

So, how about a little update in our lives. We have been married a grand total of 8 weeks and 3 days now. On thursday it will be exactly 2 months. I can't believe how fast it has gone so far. I love being married. Amanda makes my life so much better. School has started up, and I'm taking 15 credits. Its not going to be too bad. Although this is Amanda's last semester, so she is wicked busy. She is doing her capstone (like an internship) at Primary Children's Hospital in SLC. She has to be there at 7AM, and take the TRAX there, so she leaves our apartment at 5:30AM, drives to 1300 E. in Salt Lake, jumps on TRAX, and rides it to the hospital. She doesn't get home until about 9PM. So with that and work and school, its going to be a long semester of us not seeing each other very much. We just keep telling ourselves it will be worth it in the end.

And, some big new............I FINALLY GOT ANOTHER JOB! I have been booting cars since August, and it is 100% commission, which can really suck if nobody parks illegally. I've gotten some huge paychecks, and some really small ones. My last two paychecks totaled $201. So I have been job hunting for a while, and applying at a ton of different places. And I finally got a job at Office Max here in provo. I will be doing everything from warehouse work to running the cash register to helping people find stuff they want. I will start probably monday. To start I will only make $7.50 an hour, but hey, thats still more than I made over the past month. Working twenty hours a week will put me at about $300 a pay check, so it will be nice to know how much I'm getting paid each pay period. I'm excited for it.

Nice job on getting a job, you can be like Dwight schrute when he worked at staples..."I will literally be standing right here in case you need anything" and make everyone feel really uncomfortable :)
