Promo promo

1. I got promoted!!! An extra 75 cents an hour doesn’t sound too bad to me. That’s $3120 a year or thereabouts. Assuming I never work overtime (hah!)

2. I posted this picture 

And got many praise on the social media. My hair cut is a hit all around. 

3. I got and wrapped many many Christmas presents tonight, it was way fun :) 

Ps, I’m so grateful for how aware Heavenly Father is of my situation and how much he blesses us. 

GRE (graduate test of extinction)

It really means graduate requirement exam or something along the lines.. or giant test of doom which is what I’d like to call it. 

1. CONNOR DID SOOOO WELL!!! Seriously! The scores are out of 170 and he got 166 in the vocab portion and 160 in the math. We’re still waiting for his writing portion to be graded but oh my goodness!! :) :) 

2. I did the dishes, raked a bit, walked home from work, folded all the laundry and did some more, didn’t give in to temptations and watched Thor! Oh and had a nice long chat with Andrea! All after 4 pm. I feel so great! 

3. Connor let me make a big deal out of him when he got home :) 

Ps, I’m grateful to have the energy to accomplish these tasks. Especially when I’ve been so tired and stressed and at wits end. It really helps feeling accomplished. 

So sleepy

1. I didn’t sleep much, but Mycah kept me entertained at work so I made it through the day. 

2. I had a nice time at personal finance 

3. Connor takes the GRE tomorrow :)

Ps. I’m so thankful for my sweet mother in law who makes it possible for us not to have student loans. So so grateful! 

I would rather not adult

1. 

Our little group is growing once again. I love having friendly home evening! The months pass quickly. These are such wonderful people.

2. I made a lot of garlic bread and it got demolished! Plus we were reminded of something funny that happened years ago and had a nice long laugh. 

3. Work was great! And I stayed all day. Last week totally threw me off, so I’m happy this one is more normal. 

Ps. I’m grateful for such good friends who give me a sense like no friends have before in my life, that I am loved and accepted and funny. 

Okay, my thankful November is turning into a thankful couple of days

1. The family phone call was wonderful and funny. Not usually how I feel afterwards and I’m so grateful. We Facebook stalked Maia’s new boyfriend, Ty and rather enjoyed it :) 

2. We had dinner with our personal finance group. I love these people. They are so kind and welcoming. It’s so wonderful. Taylor announced that she’s pregnant! 

3. I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting. I haven’t done that so formally in a long while. I’m grateful for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

Ps. I’m grateful for my sweet husband who runs himself ragged trying to make like great for us. Also, he set me as his phone background 😍 

The Grabers

1. My best friend from high school, Kelsey Graber (Cottle) her sweet husband and adorable baby came by for lunch today :) 

2. 

Gatlin loved me :) 

3. Everyone was really goofy at work and it made the day fly by! And the fact that I took the morning off 💁🏻

Bro, do you even work

1. I talked to my boss about a promotion today and it looks really good! Keep fingers crossed and say those prayers! 

2. I watched Arsenic and old lace tonight for the first time, it is such a funny show! I rather enjoyed it. 

3. I stayed late at work and got a lot of paperwork done, which is good because I’ve been lagging on my hours this week. Plus I like working when no one is there. 

Also, 30 days of thanks. 

I’m thankful for my wonderful job and its ability to help us live our lives right now.
