Mini update on the times

There is not much I can say. But I haven't updated for a while so... Ya....
Steven is still job hunting. We now know we will no longer be living in Washington County. Which is hear breaking. Yet at the same time I feel it is time to move on. I just hate this limbo feeling of we are moving we just don't know when or where but we are. He is trying to hard to find a job. He applied for two jobs in Colorado and has looked for employment in Arizona as well.
Illianna is trying to potty train. She is not doing very good. We tried to just put her in underwear but she just peed in it and went on with life. :( I don't know what to do especially  since I am not home during the day. She hates eating as well. Which is also hard. I just feel like a bad mom right now. I am tired of giving her pop tarts and what not because she will not eat anything we are eating. I can't just put her to bed without dinner.
I am just working at Dixie State College as a Secretary for the Heating Plant. I love it still. School started again and I am doing online classes. English 2010 and Communication 1010. So far I am just tired. Lol. Steven is doing full time classes.
Yep. That is what is going on.

Jobs, work, and fun things to make money

Let me start with my job story.
I worked at Synegry which was a telemarketing place that had some really nice people working there and I enjoyed them. However hours on the phone all day not making my sales quota was really hard on me. So I quit because I had an interview at Call Caption that afternoon and knew I would be late if I didn't get off early. Before I went to my interview I found out that Dixie College was hiring for a secretary at the Heating Planet. I filled out an application with them and went to my interview.
I passed my interview and got offered a part time job. Then I went to Dixie to give them my application and they hired me on the spot! I felt amazing! Both jobs paid much better then my original job.
I am currently at Dixie working my four hours a day. While C. C. is working on setting my orientation. :)

Now for Steven.
He got the job at C.C. which inspired me to apply. He is loving it and works 40 hrs a week plus he gets full benefits! Thank goodness!
He did the physical test for the Utah Highway Patrol and passed with flying colors! I am so proud of him! He also passed the written test and now he has his first oral interview on the 29th of this month.
We also went to Salina Kansas for him to interview for the police department down there. It was such a long drive!!! But it was nice to see Chelsea and Mark. He seems to have passed that interview since they asked him to fill out the personal history paperwork and mail it back.
He graduated the academy on July 14. I am so proud of my honey! I can't wait for him to be Officer Harlow. :)

Sick

I am sick today and Illianna is on the mend. Steven gets to take care of both of us. :( I finally woke up in time for church but Steven didn't let me go since I sound so horrible. Illianna woke up cold and cuddled him this morning and fell back to sleep on his tummy for an hour. It would have been sweet if she wasn't covered in boogers. So ya... I am miserable. Just thought you should know. :)

Fastest, Easiest Nap!

Today I came home for class to find Illianna brushing Steven's hair. I laid down on the floor and Illianna jumped off the couch and laid on my tummy. Steven asked if she wanted to go night-night and she said no. I told her to go get her blankie if she wanted to lay on me. She got up and went and pulled her blankie out of her crib. Came back and laid on top of me again. I stroked her hair sang Jesus wants me for a sunbeam and she was out! This is officially the shortest easiest nap of the year!!! WHAOO!!!!

St. Patricks Day

I made my first rainbow!!!!

 Illianna LOVED the candy at the end of the rainbow! I am so glad I was able to do it for her! :)
She is so funny! Just one of the many things we did for Illianna during my spring break. :)

Steven's SFO Block

Steven is done with the first half of POST! I am so proud of him!
In a minute he did 30 push up.
In a minute he did 38 sit ups.
He ran the mile and a half in 12:50
He ran his 300 meter dash in 42 seconds!
.
He is so amazing on his physical test! But what really matters is how well you do on the written test. You need a 70 % to pass. His first test he got an 80% second test he got 84% third test he got an 88% and for his final he got a 92%!!! I am again so very proud of him! He is doing so great! I am so grateful for Steven and his dedication to POST and our family. I love you Steven! You are the greatest husband in the world!
