New job

I'm so excited, I got a new job today! For the past 6 months I have been working for Dan's company writing (part time... very part time...). While working for his company I have casually been looking for jobs. I pretty much just only applied for jobs I was really interested in. I really wasn't desperate, but I did want to find something eventually. Anyway, the summer got busy and I put the job search on hold. Then... the past few weeks I started looking again. I had an interview at one school to work in the office, but I didn't get the position. I was a little frustrated, but continued looking. So... yesterday I found a post on Craig's list for office help in an elementary school in Orem. It didn't even say what school it was, but I figured, why not? So I sent in my resume. That afternoon they called to see if I could interview that night. Wow, that was quick! Haha... I said yes. So, last night I went and met with a lady that worked in the school's administration. It turned out the school was a charter school. I talked to her and we got along great. Once she found out my degree was in Early Childhood Education she asked if I'd be interested in working in a classroom because they had a couple of aid positions open (in special ed. and kindergarten). I was so excited to hear the position was in kindergarten, I love that age group! I told her I'd be happy to work in either position (office or classroom). Anyway, I went home last night feeling good about the interview.

This morning I had an interview to be a secretary with another company, it went ok, but I was hoping to hear back from the school. Right after I got out of my interview I got a phone call from the school! They wanted me to come in for a 2nd interview and a proficiency test. I went in this afternoon to do the skills test and then I met with the director (charter schools don't have principals) and I met with another lady from the office. After talking with the director he asked me if I had to choose would I rather work in the office or the classroom. After deliberating I said the classroom sounded a little more fun. He then sent me down to the kindergarten classroom to meet the teacher to see if we would be a good match. We started chatting and I found out she is from Davis County, just like me! She was super nice and our teaching styles seemed similar. My first interviewer lady then came in and talked to the kindergarten teacher and the teacher said "i think she would be a great fit!" So they offered me the position on the spot! I then gladly accepted.

I am so excited to start working in kindergarten! I think it is going to be an awesome experience. Plus the hours are fabulous (done by 3 every day and done by 12:30 on fridays). Anyway, I start tomorrow. It's so crazy how quickly it all happened! Tomorrow is back to school night and I get to meet the kids too. Yay!

2 years

Today is our anniversary! Yay! It's crazy how fast the past two years have gone by. Since Dan has to work all day, we mostly celebrated on Saturday. This year we decided to go to Park City. We had lots of fun!

The first thing we did was got lunch. We ate outside on the porch because the weather was perfect... 75 degrees and sunny.

At The Bridge restaurant.

Then we decided to ride the lift up the mountain. Which ended up being fun, but took about an hour round trip and we both got sunburned!

High above Park City

We made it to the top! What a relief.

Our view of Park City on the way back.

When we got off the lift, we saw these people playing these horns. So cool!

Then we went shopping! I know, my husband rocks! We each got to pick out something we wanted.

I got these shoes! I love them. They are the most comfortable things ever. And if you know me, you know I don't like shoes. I wish I could wear flip flops every day. But the fact that I found shoes that I actually like wearing is amazing! I figure the weather will be getting cooler soon and these are my solution. I'm even considering getting them in grey too :).

Me showing off my shoes and my sunburn! The tops of my knees were the worst.

Dan chose golf stuff! Here he is sporting his new golf hat and golf glove. He looks so cute :). We actually didn't get the golf stuff in PC, he couldn't find anything he wanted up there. And check out Dan's burned knees! Ouch!

It was so fun spending the day together. I am so happy we got married 2 years ago! I know I could sit here and be all mushy and say how much I love Dan. But it's too hard to describe in words how much I love and care for my husband. He is my best friend and I admire him in so many ways. He truly is the perfect companion for me. The past two years have been so great and I look forward to so many more! Happy Anniversary Dan, I love you!

As for tonight, I've got a delicious dinner planned and even more presents! I love giving presents.

Circus, anyone???

My friend Jessica loves the circus. She loves it more than anyone I know. She loves it so much that she is giving away a family 4 pack of tickets to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus which is coming to town the end of September. If you are interested, comment on her blog post & you will be entered into the giveaway! In fact, she is giving away four family 4 packs; one each week for the next four weeks. So, if you don't win the first time, you can try again! Hooray!

I've never been to the circus, but I think it sounds fun. Go here to her blog to enter: Jessica's Blog.

Good luck!

One wedding down...

and one more to go! My other sister, Jannifer, just got engaged on Friday. That means another wedding in my family. She is the last one of the 6 kids to get married. They are thinking October (which is my favorite month in the whole year).

Congrats Janni & Danny! Yep that means another Daniel to join the family. He goes by Danny though and mine goes by Dan :).

Introducing...

Mr. & Mrs. Kenitzer!


My little sister is married! Her wedding was Friday and turned out beautifully. The temple was awesome, as usual. I loved her sealer, I thought he did a great job. The reception also turned out fabulous. I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I was too busy setting up the reception, keeping the food table stocked, catching up with old friends and chasing around my nephews. It was a long, tiring, fun day.
