i got a job

okay so the family vacation was tons of fun. we just went to st. george and stayed in the world mark there. it was really nice. the world mark is like a time share for those of you who don't know. there were 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, and 2 kiddie pools. and if you are rich enough, the presidential suite has its own hot tub on the deck. it was great to spend time with all of zach's family and we just played games and ate and swam and hiked a bit too.
well, i guess the biggest thing that has happened since my last blog was that i got a job. yep, that's right. i went in for a practical on tuesday of this week and they put me to work on wednesday of this week. i also worked thursday and today (friday). i won't work again until wednesday. i got a request and they decided to schedule me to fit in the request. plus i think i get a few more dollars when someone requests me specifically. so i am now working at massage envy in the pineview plaza. i get paid when i give massage.... so everyone come in and request me.
reichael is doing much better, but she is still really sick. the vet thinks it could be seasonal allergies or some other autoimmune disease. he gave her a shot of steroids and sent out for a biopsy as well. we should know by tuesday exactly what is making our puppy sick.
we are all moved in to our new place and we got the internet today. (that's why i am blogging) and zach bought me a desktop computer so we both can work in the office (our second bedroom). it will be really nice once we get all the extra boxes and stuff out. i can actually do massage here at home again. and we have an extra bed that someone can come visit. hint hint... family you can come visit zach and me :)
zach got his hp packet today so he can actually work tomorrow in uniform and not just sunday best. he will still be in a white shirt, but it has hp on it. and he will have a name badge as well. i am still waiting for my uniforms. i will be in black or tan pants/capri which i have to provide but massage envy will get me t-shirts. they are in the middle of a uniform change, so i get to wear my school uniforms for now. good thing i kept those.
i am also still waiting for my massage insurance packet. techinically i am not supposed to be working without the proof that i have it, but where everything happened so quickly and i explained what happened, they understand. i just have to get it to them as soon as i get it.
so life here in la verkin isn't so bad. i love having family so close. i think things are finally going in the right direction with us. we just need reichael to get better and everything will be great.

the things going on

we got everything packed in the horse trailer and the back of dad (smith's) truck. i am quite surprised it actually all fit. where and how did we accumulate so much stuff? oh well. zach & i found a place to live down here in la verkin. it is actually a place that zach's uncle owns and rents out. it is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, washer & dryer place. it will be nice not to have to haul the laundry to the laundromat. we have been living with mom & dad (smith) for the last 2 weeks. and on monday we will be moving just up the road from them. i think i might go over today and clean up the place to amber standards. i don't think it has been lived in for a bit. when we turned on the water in the shower, it came out brown for a few seconds. don't get me wrong, the place was cleaned after vacancy, but i just feel better about cleaning it myself and knowing that i was the last one to clean.
zach is working today. he had a conference call this morning and then went to meet his boss over at the hotel. his boss lives up in slc i think. he just came down to take zach around to the different stores he will be working at and introductions and the such. so i am just hanging out doing laundry and taking care of rei rei.
she got a bacterial skin infection. it was about a month ago that we first noticed it, but we didn't know a vet or have the money for a vet. well we got our tax return, and when her sores spread all down her one side and her leg & ears, zach took her to a vet he knows down here. she is on a broad spectrum antibiotic. if it still isn't better by tuesday, we take her back to the vet. hopefully she will get better. she put herself to bed and won't come out unless we make her. usually its just to potty and eat a little bit. i think i will try and take her for a walk later today. just to keep her moving. the first pill we gave her made her throw up. after the second one, we walked her around a little and she did much better. i think she just needs rest and the antibiotics will do the rest. well, i am going to go to walmart with mom (smith) now so i'll leave this blog here and tell about our family vacation on the next one.
