keep checking!

Sorry to those that check me regularly...I have much to post but not so much time to write. And the internet connection where I'm staying is horrible. One more week until I'm in my own place!! Will be so nice to have a home again! I think I'm off to a watch a surf competition in HB this weekend. Should be fun even though I don't surf. Stay tuned and keep checking me out!!

cha-ching!!

I got a job this morning!!! Phew, what a relief! I was getting a little nervous since I only have one more paycheck to come from IHC. Yea! Now I can relax and enjoy the next few days in my new city.

I will be working as a behavior instructor at Bridges Educational Corporation. I'll be working with little kiddos with Autism. These are just the little guys 2-4 years old! I will go to their homes and work with them for 2 hour periods of time. Different from Pingree but I think it will be a good job.

Yea!!!!

new zip code

I'm here! I am somewhat officially living in the 92111 zip code. I guess somewhat officially really means unofficially. Let me clarify - I am here but living between two kind friends until I move into my house on July 31st.
I had an interview yesterday and am really hoping to get the position. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I've applied for a couple other jobs in the Autism field and also with some temp agencies. Hopefully something will come up quickly. I'm already getting a little stir crazy. Funny how when I work full time I think about how nice it would be to have nothing to do. Then when I don't have anything to do I get really bored and can't wait to have a job. At least I have the beach to keep me somewhat occupied :)
I drove by the house I'll be living in. It is in a great neighborhood. The house isn't that great on the outside but it is better to have a not so great house in a great neighborhood than a great house in a not so great neighborhood - Right???
I've done my job searching for the morning. Off to the pool to swim some laps and then to the beach for a little sun and sand :)

end of an era!

I've worked at Intermountain Healthcare (aka IHC) for 6 1/2 years. Wednesday was officially my last day. I had met some really great people while working there and learned a lot professionally. I also learned that although it is a great company, it is not what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. When I turned in my badge Wednesday I didn't feel one bit of sadness. It felt a little weird but more exciting than anything knowing that I don't have to go back to work there ever again!

a reservoir named echo

I am really late in posting this, I was waiting for a video clip and some of the pics. Couldn't figure out how to add the video...Anyway for May's adventure I went kayaking at Echo Reservoir with my friends Roscoe & Kayak Master B. It was a beautiful day. We had a great time and I didn't have to do any work! We kayaked over to some rocks and the boys thought it would be fun to jump in. Not wanting to be shown up by a couple of dudes, I jumped too. It wasn't far but the water was VERY cold!!
