so here we are almost half way through june. things have been going pretty well. zach, dad (smith), lincoln, gage, reichael, and i have been going out mountain biking. its been lots of fun. gage actually only came with us for the first time on saturday. he did so awesome! and is excited to come next time too. we figured we will have to ride at least 2 times a week so we can have a "big kid" ride and a "everyone" ride. the big kid ride we go much longer and on a bit harder trails. the everyone ride, we just do smaller trails. it is great exercise, and it is so much fun. look at pictures on my facebook. i know, i know... i need to just get the pictures on here, but i am still trying to figure it out.
this past thursday, i got a phone call from none other- my bff- lena. she was on her way down here with her singles ward. they were having their super activity. well, zach & i had the wonderful opportunity to attend a temple session with lena & her ward. it was awesome! i haven't seen her, or talked to her since our wedding. and that is almost a year now :)
crazy, i know. time is flying.
so work at massage envy is becoming a bit of a challenge. i love massage and most of my co-workers. i just don't love the management. every single therapist there warned me that i have to watch my checks closely. well, i didn't really keep a close enough watch. i went back through my checks on saturday because i had discovered on my last check i was shorted an hour & a half. so i went back through every single one.... guess how much i was shorted. 5 hours & 5 bonus treatments. guess how much money that it adds up to.... $81.00
on saturday, my one manager told me that my 1 & 1/2 was not paid because the client didn't show up. duh i know she didn't show cause i sat there waiting. well, massage envy didn't have a credit card number on file so they didn't charge for the session. (if you don't cancel before 24 hrs, or 4 hrs at my location; you are charged at least half price for the session if you don't show)
so because the receptionist didn't get a card number to hold the session, and because the client didn't show up, massage envy didn't get paid, and therefore means i don't get paid. i think the receptionist should have to give me the money for not doing her job. but who knows... whatever. $81 will just keep adding up. and all the good therapists will leave. now i do work today, so who knows if i will be able to get paid that shorted amount since it was from a month ago. they will probably have some other excuse. and i will just find another place to work.
i am much to valuable to have to keep tabs on my checks. i was also talking to another therapist about it, and she suggested to me that i also track how much i am being tipped on credit cards. apparently some of their checks have been shorted their tips. does that seem like good business to you?! GRRRR!!!
well, anyway... june is now here. the days are getting hotter. it is kinda nice, but also not. i am getting really funny tan lines from biking. zach says i am becoming stripped like a tiger. i told him that he needs to take me to a lake or beach and then i'll be just fine with only swimsuit tan lines. then i add, "even my white skin that never ever sees sun is still darker than your white" to which he responds, "yes, but you are chinese." and so life goes here in la verkin at the smith's.
my birthday is coming up next monday. i am stupid and am working it. maybe i will/can get bigger tips by telling my clients that it is my birthday. HA! like that will really work. i keep asking zach what he is getting me. he won't tell me. blast. i then ask him what he is going to get me for our anniversary. he won't tell me that either. but i think i know what we are getting because we are getting each other the same thing.
our friends, jen & aaron, invited us to come on havasupi with them in august. we don't have hiking backpacks, so we are going to get each other a hiking backpack for our anniversary. at least i think that is what we decided. i am super excited and zach is too, to be going on havasupi. aaron is the only one who has gone backpacking on a trip like that.
i am also excited for erin & greg to come visit. they are coming to st. george for a mini vacation/celebration and we are going to go hiking and maybe mountain biking with them. i think summer will be a great summer full of good friends and good times. makin' memories, wahoo!!
i am also reading a lot more that i have been in the last year or two. it is great to get my nose in a book again for fun. zach was laughing at me the other day because we bought "the hunger games" on paperback. i was smelling the pages. nothing smells like a brand new book. i love the smell. he called me a bookworm and laughed. i called him a techno-worm. i really don't mind being called a bookworm. i love books. i love to read for fun. we just finished "i am number 4" and it was really good. yes, zach will read on occasion. i am trying to get him reading more rather than play with the technology. oh well.
anyway, i can't really think of a whole lot else right now, so i will leave you here. until next time :)
