XPRESS PRINTING

So today I started my new job at X Press Printing. This really nice girl named Megan trained me on all of the things that I'll do like you know.. answering the phones and all those important things. All the people were nice to me on my first day and then I got busy to work checking my e-mail and posting on my blog! I feel like I could be happy here. But honestly, I'm just excited to be working more hours... which equals more money... which equals more fun!!!!

Moving Day

Today Megan and I are moving downstairs to the show apartment. It'll be super nice once we are in there because the apartment is decorated so that people can come and see it.

Well today, we woke up early so that we could finish packing and cleaning and be ready to move at 8. However, things didn't work out that way. We ended up just sitting in our living room, staring at each other, surrounded by all of our material belongings for a couple of hours. Talk about fun!

We took everything out of our rooms and put it in the living room so that it would be faster to move when we finally get into our new apartment. Hopefully that works out the way we planned!!

Living it up in the ghetto!!!

Elizabeth moved into her new apartment over the weekend. She is living in Midvale, UT for the next few months while shes does her student teaching in West Valley City. Her apartment is super nice and I wish I had a pad like that!!!

On Saturday, Me LIz and mom went to Chase bank to set up an account for her. While we were there, Mom started asking the banker about the area. He goes well... there are nicer places. And then he started getting into it. He said "Our branch is the only one in the area with bullet-proof glass!! We used to be the number-one robbed chase bank, but since we got the bullet-proof class, we haven't been robbed. But you can still see the fresh paint from our last shooting!" I was dying laughing. I thought mom was going to have a coronary and die next to me. The more he talked the funnier it got to me.

After the bank, we took mom to the airport so that she could go back home to Texas and be reunited with her one true love. After the airport, me and Liz went shopping to get her set-up. This was the best part. We went to a Wal-Mart in West Valley (Where Liz will be teaching) and the area is just super ghetto. Everything the banker was saying was true and you could see it. We finally found the Wal-mart and there was a big cement wall surrounding it. I had never seen such a thing. Cracked us both up. Needless to say, once we saw that, We chose to drive a little farther to a nicer town where we could shop. We were able to get her at least part of the way set-up and in her new place.

I hope she ends up liking her new set-up, and I'm so glad to have more family close-by! This is going to be fun!!!

Megan is a Big Girl Now

This past Thursday, Megan walked at her graduation from BYU. I'm so happy that all of my peeps are finishing up school so that they can be lazy non-students just like me!!! Anyways, all of the Settles were in town for the event, and my mom and Liz made an appearance as well.

Her graduation was on Thursday and Friday, and then we went to dinner both nights with the family. So FUN!!!! We also all stayed at a hotel in Lehi with the fam, which was a blast. We swam and ate lots of junk food.. and one night Me, Megan, Liz, Christine and Mom all went shopping late at night, which I thought was a blast. It was so fun to have family in town for a few days and to celebrate Meg's graduation.

SHE'S HOME!!!!!

Kelsie returned from her mission to Chile on August 6. Since she has been back, she has already enrolled in classes and started looking into going back to BYU-Idaho. She doesn't waste anytime!! I finally got to talk to her on the phone today and she doesn't sound ANYTHING like she used to, but it was so fun to finally catch up with her. I'm so proud of her for serving her mission and I can't wait to see her at the family reunion. She is one of my favorite people and I'm so glad she's back!!!

Michael is BACK IN THE USA!!!!!

Big brother came home from his third trip to Afghanistan at the end of July. I was so excited to hear that he made it home safely. I am so proud of him for everythig that he has done!!! I can't wait to see him in December and hopefully he will get to stay with us state-side for a while longer!!

Time to play catch up!

WOW!! So its only been forever since I've done this.. and for once in my life, stuff is actually going on. And even though some of this happened many moons ago, I feel as if I should put it all on here!!
