Nah, Naah, Nah, Goodbye

Today is my last day with Fat Cats, Costa Vida, and Pizza Factory! I no longer have to manage accounts payable!! Sooo Goodbye:

And Hello:

That's right, I am going to be a first grade teacher at Heartland Elementary School! I start on Monday, but won't have students until Thursday. I am getting my teaching license through the ARL program Utah has. It is going to be tough, but I am SO excited.

So from here on out, please address me as Mrs. Atkisson. Thank you, come again.

There is No Place Like Home....Finally!

I have been delaying posting about Seth and I's new apartment because I have no pictures of it with all of our stuff in it, but I cannot wait any longer. We have an apartment!!! It is gorgeous and perfect location and perfect for us and just makes my heart so happy! We have a place to call home. I would like to thank all of our friends and family for taking us in over the months of homelessness, what we would have done without you I shudder to think. :)

Seth has not found a job yet, but we are thinking it will be pretty soon. Hopefully! We just keep on praying and applying!

Here are some pictures before we painted the living room and moved our stuff in:

Soon I will post pictures of it with all our stuff in it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE our apartment.

The Best Female Artists

I am here at work and listening to Shania Twain and Celine Dion and I started thinking about my favorite female artists. I got so happy thinking about them I decided to make a post about it, in honor of their greatness. These are in order of my favorite (read like a book), starting with Celine, of course.

Just as a side note, it was very hard to find modest pictures of Janet and Madonna...these are two scandalous ladies.

I might change the order up or add to this photo list as I remember more artists, so don't hold me to this list. Although, Celine will never be dethroned.

Apartment, Couches, and Bears Oh My!

Ok, well not bears.

Tomorrow Seth and I are going apartment shopping and furniture browsing. Our last apartment was furnished so we need a couch. I am VERY excited to purchase some sort of furniture piece, like a real adult. Here is a picture of a style we like:

Anywaysss, had to blog something.

Mission Call!

My Grandma and Grandpa got their mission call to Anchorage Alaska! They leave September 1st. I am very excited for them, but I little nervous they will never leave Alaska even after they are done. Good luck Grandma and Grandpa!!

Fourth of July!

Seth's Aunt Michelle and Uncle DJ came out for a visit over the July 4th weekend. They brought their three boys: Dalton 9, Mason 6, and Caden 3. At least, I think those are their ages. We had a way fun time while they were here. Here is a list of all the things we did:

1. Went for a walk up in Bridal Veil Falls

2. Tried to stop the boys from following Seth to the top of the waterfall

3. Acclimated Michelle and the boys to 'So You Think You Can Dance'

4. Watched Lion King - Just a side note: I hate Scar

5. Laughed about funny family things

6. Went to Stadium of FIRE

7. Screamed "MILEY, I LOOOOOVEEEEE YOU"

8. Threw our hands in the air, like we just didn't care
9. Watched Seth dance to "See you again"

10. Watched an awesome firework show that later rained down trash on our heads

11. Went to the dinosaur kingdom

12. Watched a cool underwater film, yeah, it was 3D

13. Ate hamburgers

14. Went to Sundance and rode the ski lift

15. Once at the top of the ski lift, hiked up a rather steep mountain

16. Fell down the mountain

17. Said good-bye :(

So, a rather fun weekend I assure you. I was sad to see them leave. The boys were cracking me up the whole weekend. Of course I can't remember any of their funny antics now, but they were lots of fun.
