I'm Back! And this is a very long post! Sorry!

Wow!, I can't believe it has been this long since I have written in this blog, a lot has happened in this time.  I started working at Professional Dental in Saratoga Springs as the office manager, this was a good job, but this company has 10 office and still growing, but very disorganized, I think that a lot of the other office managers realized it a and told the owners to slow down and concentrate on the ones that are struggling. I had some training but not adequately to help me, the other office managers took turns to help me get to a point to where I could manage, they were only a phone call away if I needed any help, I so appreciate those ladies that helped me, taking the time to help one their peers.  The only thing that was hard is that I was not getting many hours even working at both the Saratoga Springs office 2 days and one day at the Alpine office, I really think that they were trying to limit my hours, I always had to ask if I could work, which was strange since both offices were in dyer need of cleaning up and catching things up, it was very hard to go to work and enjoy it.
 June came and things were going good, Scott was enjoying SAR (search and rescue) he had joined them in January and has really loved helping people in need.  On June 12 Scott was laid off from his job of 4 years with Sisle/ Supranaturual, we knew that this was going to happen, in fact Scott has been looking for a job the past 2 years, but not finding anything, and also not really having the time to look like he would want, so now it was time to dive in and search for a job, we decided that he would look in both Utah and Arizona, knowing that eventually we wanted to be in Arizona, well July came and nothing, I was looking at jobs in Arizona and noticed that the dental jobs in Arizona offered full benefits, so we both decided that I should start putting my résumé out there, I didn't think much of it, one day my phone had a message on it from Antoinette Billick an office manager from Mesa Arizona a company called Interdent a big Corporate out of California that has office in California, Arizona, and other states even Hawaii. She wanted to interview me, Scott and I went to Arizona on Tuesday and went to my interview on Wednesday.  I felt really good about it, I really connected with her, I went out of there feeling really good about it. We stayed through the weekend, came home and had not heard anything from Antoinette, I asked Scott what should I do if she calls and offers me the job? He said that I should take it since he hasn't heard from anyone.  The next day I went to work, it was crazy, I was the only one there and we were really busy, Scott called me and said that he has an interview, I said to him that I couldn't talk and that I would call him later, we hung up and I continued   to work, I had put my phone on silence but had it close to me to see who was calling, I noticed a number come up on my phone with an Arizona area code on it ( and it wasn't Jennifer) so I answered it and it was Antoinette she apologized that she didn't call me sooner, she did offer me the job and I accepted it.  I was really excited to know that we were going to Arizona , to possibly live, we would stay with Jennifer and continue to watch for jobs for Scott.  I called Scott but didn't get an answer which I thought was weird, so I left him a message telling him that I accepted the job.  And then I continued by texting the girls to let them know of what had happened.  I finally got hold of Scott and he was some what laughing, he said that when I called him, he was in his interview, I didn't realize that when he was calling me bout the interview, he meant that it was that day, so now what do we do? Well, we continued with our plan me going to Arizona without Scott and start my job, I felt that I couldn't back down, since I had committed myself. Well as it turns out the dental system that they use was way different from what I was used to, and  I didn't think that it was going to work, I continued to try and learn it, but it was harder than I thought, I continued to ask questions and put my best into it. The systems that they use is QSI and CPS not very user friendly going back and forth from each system, but to change now with a different system would cost them a lot since they have so many offices. Well like I said it turned out that they decided that it wasn't working out for either one of us, so they laid me off on September 27, I had started on August 6 so a little over a month and a half, little did they know that I was planning on quitting on Tuesday the next week.  I had been looking at jobs again in Utah and had an interview with Dr. Pitts in American Fork on that Monday.  The interview went well, but haven't heard anything from it yet, I feel like everything is starting all over again, and now Scott has a meeting on Monday, October 8 with the owners, and we are somewhat nervous about it, wondering if he is going to be laid off.  So I am not leaving Arizona until Tuesday just in case he is laid off and if he is he will just come down and join me, from there I don't know what is going to happen.  We have turned everything over to the Lord  and hopefully we get some type of answer,  we just need to be patient.

This past week I have had a fun time with my granddaughters  Abby, Paige and Maren, we have gone to lunch every day, had their toenails painted, got some embroidery projects for them, coloring things for Maren since she is to little to embroider.  It has been fun doing things with them as Jennifer has had to work.

Last night Abby had to cheer at a pee wee football game, so while Jennifer was at work, and Rich was at the Priesthood session, I took the girls to the football game, which was a late game, it didn't start until 8:00 at night and so it didn't get over with until 10.

For the past little while I have had let the girls sleep in my room with me I call it my sleep over party, the first night was good and then from there I would be kicked out of bed or couldn't sleep, so I decided that only 2 of them can sleep with me, with one right next to me and the other ones with her head down by our feet, and the 3rd person has to sleep on the floor, now that they have all had their turn on the floor it is my turn to sleep by myself again, and maybe I can sleep more soundly. I have enjoyed myself, but it is time that I get back to my sweetie, I dearly miss him and want to be with him!
