This Monday I had to go to SLC to do some fingerprinting for my new job...I got hired as a part-time Teller at the Wells Fargo in Heber (which means Bryan was transfered to Kimball Junction since we can't work in the same branch-it was really the other way around, because he transfered they offered me the job, but anyways!). The whole thing only took about 2 minutes, so I decided not to waste a PERFECT SUNNY day and drive right back to cold, too windy Kamas! We stopped at a few places to shop, but I really wanted to take Tiff to the Temple Square. As you can see in the pics, she LOVED it...it was such a nice weather and there were so many pretty flowers and things to look at that she never looked at the camera. She would only smile like that when someone was walking by.
I can't get over how big she is! Sometimes I just look at her and can't believe she can do all these things...This week she finally started to say more words again...she's repeating the ones she already knew, and she is starting to say new ones like ovo, obrigada (it sounds more like igada), she also says thank you perfectly and she uses both depending on what we say to her, which makes me think she will be bilingual from the beginning. She also says uva, suco, nite nite, and I can't think of more...anyways, I know she's behind on that department, but I can understand how confusing it all seems to her, and in her own time she will figure it all out!As for my job situation, those of you who were wondering...I'm still going to try and keep my GAP job for as long as I can possibly do it without being too stressful for me and my family because the discounts are too good...I went shopping for clothes for my new job and couldn't believe how much I saved at both GAP and Banana Republic! So I'll still be part-time, even with both jobs, but with the traveling back and forth, it might get a little crazy! I'm also working with this wedding planner in Park City and helping her out with a couple of weddings this summer which then really adds up and makes me a full-time, but at least the weddings are few and far in between.
I always saw myself as a stay-at-home mom, but after starting work again, I realized that I really don't like to be home so much...DON"T GET ME WRONG, I know my priorities, and being a mom is at the TOP of my list, and I also know that I might be working too much right now for that, but once things calm down and I have the option of being home, I'll always want to have something to keep me busy. I'm really hoping to get enough experience that I can start doing my own Wedding Planning and flowers, which then will allow me to stay home, choose my hours and be productive...I just feel like I need to have some sort of commitment so that I spend my time wisely. If I just stay home then I kinda get lazy and don't really know how to prioritize my time. And I can also see the benefit of it for Tiff...she was always so attached to me, but now she plays so much better and seems so much happier because she doesn't revolve around me anymore.
All I can say is that even though everything is not perfect, life is good right now! I feel like we're really going somewhere now and we're settled in a nice place where Tiff can grow and we can have lots of good family time. We enjoy every moment we have together and help each other out a lot more because we're both so busy. I know Bryan wishes things were slower and we had more time to travel and relax, but I think I wasn't doing anything for so long, that I really don't mind it....we'll see in a few months when everything becomes a routine!
