moving day(march 1st) to today





Since it took me so long to get a blog( Brandon now had to remind me, AGAIN, while we are sitting here at the coffee shop down the street from our apt). I will give a quick round up from what has happened since the move here....
Moving day... got a much later start than expected, we ended up staying over night in St. George with mom and dad, took a nice lil break.
Moving day 2... driving..and more driving. Unloading and somehow fitting all boxes into the apt. My stuff, combined with his stuff..it worked though.
Dreidel took awhile to adapt....still is. She no longer cries when we have to leave and put her in her room.(her cage) She still gets skittish when she is taken out to go to the bathroom. She has to make sure no strangers are walking by before she can "go" (pee shy). She wont eat unless either Brandon or I standing next to her(depending on who is feeding her). I sometimes have to put food in my hand and feed it to her to get her started.
She has her lil dog bed that we have to move from the bedroom to family room depending on where we are, otherwise she is confused on where she is supposed to lay.
Work... work is good. Thank goodness the snow is coming to an end (well I hope so) and the drive is a lil better. Got a lil scary some mornings with the snow and over the point of the mountain. I live downtown salt lake, and work in American Fork (AF) ...about 30miles drive south. There is an area on the freeway where its called the "point of the mountain" and for some reason traffic gets scary right there. Wind and snow picks up at the point. The town of AF is....well...different. Not the lil utah town that i expected. One customer that lives there dubbed it perfectly as the Walmart town. Yesterday was the worst day there yet....was there at opening (530am) and left at 1045pm. Long day of cleaning....cleaning...and more cleaning.
Possibly soon i will get to get a store closer to home. Unfortenutely they are closing the Payson store so that manager might transfer to my store, and give me the chance to get a little bit closer to home.
As far as home life... Me and brandon are good. We do a fair mix of cooking and take out. Cooking is a little diffucult sometimes due to a smaller sized kitchen. We are looking fwd to the day of a bigger kitchen with a dishwasher and counter space. Also a place with a washer and dryer. But for now its fun...its a classic old style downtown apartment. Brandon laughs at me because sometimes ill just go off on a tangent about wondering how many layers of wallpaper are behind the paint, or how many people have lived here, or why there are plugs that are painted over.
So that is the last month in a nutshell...slightly rambling nutshell. Will do my best to keep up with blogs....Brandon will too.

  7. Glad you're blogging. I suddenly felt a little more connected to you having read your blog. It would be interesting to know how many others lived there before you.
    Blogging rule #1. You have to make an entry every week, at the minimum.
