9 Months!!

That's right! Emmitt and I have now been together for 9 months, and they have been heavenly.

For those of you who watch The Office, Emmitt is my soupsnake. For those of you who don't, he is my soul mate:)

A little more about him: Emmitt is currently a floor lead at Convergys, which is where we met. Floor lead used to mean something different but now, it's pretty much everything. When someone doesn't know who to go to when something needs to get done, they go to Emmitt.

He is a brilliant man, like super brilliant. He knows everything about rocks and is willing to teach you anything you'd like to know. He loves his family and outer space and fishing. Oh he loves fishing. He would fish 24/7 if he could. There are times when we go fishing after work, then eat dinner and he's ready to fish again. I now have a fishing pole, vest and license. It's a hobby I enjoy doing with him...just not as often as he likes.

We still go to his parents' house every week for dinner and I still love it. His sister is now in Florida but the rest of the family gets together every Sunday. I have loved getting to know his family and I feel like they're my family. His nieces are great, we dance and play games together.

We've gone on two family trips, one was down to St. George for Easter. We went on hikes, hid easter eggs, and of course, fished. That trip was for 4 days and it was so much fun. The second trip was last weekend and it was a super quick one. We went down to Cedar City Saturday for the solar eclipse on Sunday. We took back roads down and found some fun little places on the way. Sunday we went to New Castle to see the eclipse. We ended up watching from the graveyard where Emmitt's grandma is buried. It was weird to see him name on a tombstone.

We had to make the trip back that night because I started my job on Monday, but it was insanely worth it. The eclipse was truly magnificent and I will never forget it. We saw the full ring of fire and you can see pictures on Emmitt's or his mom's facebook.

Anyway, Emmitt is perfectly spectacular and I am so lucky he found me. He has made me myself and I'm looking forward to every minute of my life spent with him. He has actually asked me to move in with his when my lease is up, so I'll be moving in with him at the end of June. I am very excited and have no doubts. He is my forever and things couldn't feel more right. <3

UPS

I quit my job at Convergys at the beginning of March. I decided that I wouldn't look for a job until after our spring break trip to St. George. I had enough in savings so I was sure I could make it a month without any income. 

Well, I ended up staying unemployed for two and a half months but then a job found me! I was sleeping and some people called me to offer me a job at UPS. UPS does not hire anyone directly, they use staffing agencies and then after a few months they offer jobs to the employees who they want.

I just finished my first week of training and I love it. It's full time, which is different for me, but I'm really enjoying my time there. We've had time to listen to agents out on the floor and I'm confident that I will be working for UPS directly soon. 

We take tests at the end of everyday to make sure we're retaining information. They give us between 30 and 60 minutes to take these tests. I have finished every test in under five minutes and either got 100% or only missed one. In other words, I rock.

I will update my blog more and let you know how the job is going. Also, another post is already scheduled for tomorrow!
