ok ok...i know it has been a long time since i have writtn anything, but ben and i have been very busy..... i started a new job. i finally quit costco. i am so relieved!!! i can't believe it. i have been trying to quit for some time now, but we needed the money and the benefits. but we finally got past that part and moved on. i now work full time at Chico Vision Care as the optical supervisor and the head optician. it is a monday through friday 830-530. i get to do hair on saturdays and on nights sometimes after work. it is tiring since the previous optician didn't train the other girl there much. there was a lot of reorganizing the first week. i was the most qualifies though. there was one applicant that felt that she was qualified because she wore glasses, so that made her an optician. but we are getting in order now. i have learned to edge classes as well. so i can actually make a whole set of glasses. it is pretty neat. ben is still in school. i fell like he has been in school forever sometimes. but he has 2 1/2 years left. can't wait!!! he still plays basketball as much as possible. nest week i am starting a dance class 2 times a week. one is tap and the other is hip hop. so it should a fun way to get into shape. ben and i have cancelled our cable and internet to save some more money. hopefully it works. anywho....talk to you later...
