James' New Job

I forgot to mention in my last post that James got a new job as well. He was working at K-mart AND Convergys for a while. He worked about 65 hours a week during a lot of July and August, bless his little heart. He just quit K-mart this last Tuesday, and now he's working about 30 hours a week at Convergys while he goes to school full time. He was sad to leave K-mart, but it was for the best. Convergys is going good, he likes making angry people on the phone happy by the end of the call. He doesn't like sitting around a lot, so he's starting to work out and play basketball. I need to get my butt in shape too. Hopefully we'll be able to afford gym memberships soon. Well that's about it. I'll try to keep up as best as I can. Thanks for reading!

Significant Events

Wow, it's been a looooooong time since I blogged. Here are a few things that have been happening:

Hamsters.
Yep, we got two robo hamsters about a month ago.
They're really cute. Their names are:
Rhino (like the hamster in Bolt, because he's really fat)
AND
Denny (short for Dennis the Menace because he's kind of crazy)

LAGOON!

We went to Lagoon on one of James' days off. It was pretty fun.

Movies.

We've seen A LOT this summer. Our faves (well my faves I guess) are:
Star Trek (best action movie)
Time Traveler's Wife (I bawled my eyes out)
Harry Potter (of course) but it wasn't anywhere NEAR as good as the book.
Up! (Probably my very favorite)
The Proposal (so funny)

School.
Bleh! I would much rather have James home with me and not stressed about classes....

New job.
YAY!
I just started this week. So far I am LOVING it, but I have to talk to people on the phone so it's a little scary. The pay is MUCH better than my last job, so that's a plus. Also, benefits!
It's such a relief. Things were getting pretty tight. But, we put our trust in the Lord, prayed a lot, fasted, and went to the temple. Just as we were about to go under, I got a call saying I got the job! James teared up a little. He's such a sap.

I think that's mostly all. I'll try to update if there are any other big events that I forgot to mention.

Bonus:
WEDDING PICTURES!
(Since some of you don't have facebook)
Here are some of my faves.
