Bad Toilet Luck

Justin and I have come to the conclusion that we have bad luck with toilets.

1.In our first apartment our toilet would run FOREVER to the point where we would have to jiggle the handle or take off the top to make the running stop. It got to the point where we had the maintenance man come by a total of 4 times just to fix our toilet. . . by the time we left our first place the toilet was in okay shape. Better than we got it at least.

2. At our new place our toilet was doing the running FOREVER thing once again. We had the maintenance man come and fix it. Finally, we thought we would have a good toilet. WRONG! The toilet worked well for a while then gradually flushing the toilet became quite a task. This resulted in me snapping the handle off. So for a night we had to take the lid off and look for the flushing part of the toilet. . sooooo gross!!!! The next morning a new handle was dropped off. Justin repaired our toilet being the wonderful plumber that he is. Unfortunately, he isn't a plumber by trade and the toilet wasn't flushing the way it is supposed to. Once again the maintenance man came by and fixed our toilet. Currently our toilet runs forever and will only stop if we jiggle the handle. . . back to square one!!!


Hopefully our luck will get better with the next move!

JOB!!!

I thought I would make a quick announcement! I got the job at the pediatric dental office!!! I will be working a half a day a week so all in all I'll be working about 2 days a month. That may not seem like a lot, but I still got my foot in the door and now have something more consistent!!! YaY!! I will be continuing to look for more work so keep your fingers and toes crossed for me.

The Search Continues. . .

Well, I've had the opportunity to temp in a couple of offices but no luck finding a constant job. I still have not heard back from one of the offices that were hiring a part time hygiene position. I've called a couple of times to check in and they are not returning my calls. . . I think I may have to pass on that opportunity.

I had a working interview at a pediatric dental office last week. However, I am not the only applicant. I checked in earlier this week and they said they still have one more interview left, however the receptionist said that she knows the dentist liked me. This position would be one day a week, but right now I would rather give 100% for them then not have anything. I should be hearing back soon. Pray for me. . :)

I will continue to work hard to find work. I just hope that hard work begins to pay off for me soon.

I will say that I am very grateful for the temp work I have been blessed with. Thanks to those offices I have been able to get my foot in the door and get more experience and confidence in my abilities as a dental hygienist.

Work! Work! Work!

Justin just couldn't resist taking a picture of my first day working as a dental hygienist. . so here you go!


Well, we've been here for a little over 2 weeks now and I still don't have a consistent job. I had a working interview at an office that fell through due to the office slowing down quite a bit making them hesitant to hire anyone right now.

After getting that news Justin and I went to Idaho Falls with some resumes. I ended up getting a temp position out of it. I have worked one day so far. It went really well and I'm glad I am doing what I want to do career wise with my life. I have three more days of work with that office this month. At least I am getting my foot in the door.

I had another interview at an office in Idaho Falls and am waiting to hear back from them. It would be a part time position.

The chaotic mess before the move!

Well, we did it! We moved to Rexburg! It was a pretty big process for Justin and I. We got everything out of our old place last Saturday and stayed with my aunt and uncle for a couple of days (Thanks Deb and Reed! :) ) while we took care of some church responsibilities. However, on Friday night before we moved we spent some time with Kim and Kevin and the kids while they were camping. It was fun to see them and play for a bit instead of packing, cleaning, etc.

Now that the move is said and done I thought I would post some pictures of our moving experience. I have to apologize because I don't have any pictures of the new place yet. .I think when we make it look more like "home" I'll put some up, which will hopefully be soon!

Yesterday I had an interview at a dental office and I got a working interview, which means that I'll go in and work for a day and let them decide how much they like me. Prospects look good. I'm not sure when my working interview will be because I'm waiting on my license. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the working interview next week.

Yaahooo!!!!

The testing phase of my education is finally over! I got the results for my WREB dental hygiene examination and I PASSED!!!!!! I feel very blessed that this is the case. I know that Heavenly Father's hand was in it and I don't know what I would have done without him! I can't wait to be able to work. I have a few more things to do to take care of the license, but I am so close I can almost taste it.

I have to give a shout out to my husband, Justin, he has put up with a very grumpy Summer for the last couple of weeks while I was impatiently waiting for my results and not to mention a stressed Summer during the 18 month program. He has been nothing by kind and loving through all of it. I truly appreciate him and all he does for me. I love him so much!

We are moving to Rexburg on the 26th of May and are so excited. We've been packing a little bit everyday. Our apartment is slowing looking less and less like our place. The weather is starting to get warmer and Justin and I can't wait to go play and enjoy ourselves now that I am done! We've been talking about going to Yellowstone to go camping after we move. We've also figured out what ward we are in. We think it will be interesting to be in a married ward. Considering we've been in a family ward for the last year or so it will be an adventure of sorts. The picture is when we were in Rexburg. It was a beautiful sunset. We can't wait to see many more while we are there!!!
