I really enjoy my job, but it sure is tiring. I work for Lago Rico, Inc. which consists of 3 marinas on Elephant Butte Lake. I work mainly at Marina Del Sur. I scrub n' clean boats, work with customers, set up boat rentals, sort inventory, and anything else they can give me to do! My coworkers are all so fun and it's mostly a quite relaxing job even though it's pretty much go, go, go and very physical.
Etni will soon be entering into a 3 yr old pre-school that is payed for by the state! She should love it! I'm very excited and will update later on that new little adventure! She instantly calls everyone she meets her "new friend." She LOVES seeing her cousins and adores Ginger. Sometimes she'll cry to Ginger and sit on her lap instead of asking mom to comfort her! She LOOOVES our new house and wants to show everyone!
Speaking of our house...it's cute and just right for the two of us! It's a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom. I am working on decorating it currently and trying to make it feel like a home instead of a house. I've got colors picked out for the walls and now it's painting time! I can't wait to get it all finished! I finally live in a house and not an apt complex! Yay!
Church. Now, most of my friends and family know I've struggled with church the last year or so. Not here. I LOVE IT. I actually enjoy every lesson taught and talk given. Relief Society is a little hard for me because the women are all so different and the lessons are very...odd? I just think it doesn't feel like it should and hope some changes get made soon so it feels more like a unity of women and not just "the 3rd hour." I don't get to spend it with Ginger because she is 1st Counselor in YW. But...I'm trying to have a positive attitude and enjoy it anyway!
Boys...ahh, boys. Well, I have a friend here and he's great. I don't know if it'll turn into anything more than that, but he sure is a blast. I met him at AutoZone a few days after I moved here. He manages the store and helped fix a loose screw and bolt on my serpentine belt. Two weeks after that, the other side of the belt came loose and "I had to" go back and have him fix it again! He gave me his number and I was so excited! He is divorced as well and is such a sweet guy. He's not a member, but has a good head on his shoulders. I invited him to church, so we'll see where that leads!
That about sums up the info about the few areas of my life! I'll be posting more stories later! I've had some amazing experiences while here and I can't wait to share them!
That sounds like a lot of excitement and positive changes in your life! I think I would LOVE your job. It's fun to do physical labor (if you can just keep moving) and it's way better exercise than made-up workouts. Hang in there with RS like you said, I had such a hard time in a new ward once for like a year and then they ended up being my best friends - we still keep in touch even though we moved again. So even if they're weird and psycho, keep giving it a chance. They will LOVE you when they get to know you. Well that was a long comment, I'll keep it short next time. =o)
