Valentines, Week 2, and Elder Kyle Update







Well I wrote this post like a month ago which was already late...but here it is anyway!
Valentines was so fun because I got to share it with Ben. He wouldn't tell me what we were doing. It was a complete surprize. He came and got me and told me we were going to get take out from outback steak house. We ordered our food and had an hour before it would be ready. We decided to go to 2 of our favorite stores. Downeast Outlet and Ross. At Downeast we found Ben sherman shirts. Of course I had to get it. He he. Then we went to ross. We had gone to another Ross another day and I tried on a shirt I loved but didn't get it. We saw it at this other Ross. Ben decided to get it for me. I love it. Its a nice black shirt with white polka dots. He also bought me a Ben Sherman belt. After Ross we went and picked up our food. Found a place to park and eat it. He had brought a Martinellis with clear plastic cups. We ate our food and drank the Martinelli. It was so good. We decided we should make this a Valentines tradition to have take out in the car. (Next year he said he was going to kick it up a notch with candles on the dashboard) What a cutie he is? I love him. We then exchanged gifts. He made me a cute card, a box of whitmans chocolates, and a stuff animal dog. I have been telling him I want a dog one day. I think this dog will do for now. Less maintanence. I got him a picture of Christ and made him a card. Back in december we to temple square to see the lights. There happen to be a art gallary going on and we decided to take a look. We fell in love with this painting of christ. I kinda forgot about it until January. I had the brillant idea to get him a copy of the picture for valentines day. I got ahold of the publisher and they said they could get me a copy before valentines. I kept calling to make sure. They kept telling me it was going to happen. Well a week before I called again to make the order and they told me they couldnt do it. I was really bummed and didnt know what to do. So I then went to deseret book and found another painting of christ I liked and bought that. Then after gift exchange we went to game stop (Ben's choice) and then we made fried banna splits.
Week 2 of my job got alot better except for one aspect. The same lady that gave me trouble the first week started to give another set of troubles. Apparently she had my position as the floater before I did. She wanted my positon back. My boss came and talked to me about trading positions. She is one of the main teachers for the toddlers. I told her I loved being the floater and working with both babies and todders. I was so stressed because I loved the babies too. The next it finally work out. Turns out she was really stressed with her position. Now they are going to alliviate some of her duties and dellegate them out so it's more even and give her more preparation time.
This job has been so goood for me thus far. I feel very acomplished at the end of the day. I feel like I can give them the love they need that they are missing while their parents are at work. Even though its only minimum wage it is very rewarding. I love holding and caring for the babies. I love teaching and playing with the toddlers. I felt very acomplished when I able to connect with one of the parents and help them feel better about their child being in daycare. WOOT!!!!
Kyle is officially out in North Carolina. He has been there for about 2 weeks now. He has been out just over a month. Crazy only 23 months to go. I am so proud of him. I miss him alot. I actually miss him taking up the tv to play xbox and the mess he leaves in the basement. He seems to be doing well.
