Blog Initiation!
February 24, 2007


I can not believe I have just become a blogger. I always thought there was so much more involved in creating a blog than just three simple clicks. I hope I do not regret what I have just created. I just recently read an interesting article about computer addictions and how it really is becoming a serious concern. Knowing me, I will become an addict.

At first i thought blogs were kind of lame, to be honest. But they are really quite fun. First I think I must confess to many of you, I have been reading about your lives with out you even knowing. I am sorry if you feel violated in any way. I appreciate your diligence in keeping your lives updated for all to enjoy.

A little about myself. I am currently living in one of the warmest states in the U.S. and could not be happier, Arizona. My husband, Zac, and I are in a city called Peoria. It is a suburb of Phoenix. The sunsets are breathtaking. I crave them. my favorite part of the day is from 6:00 pm until about 7:15 pm. We have found a miraculous place we can view the enitre valley. It is on top of a little mountain that only takes fifteen minutes to hike. It is there that we love to admire the beautiful, and often times spiritual sunset. I can not believe what an amazing world we live in. We are so lucky!

I just got a job at the Cheesecake Factory. Quite a leap in my career, I know, from two years at Brick Oven. Initially, I thought working at Cheesecake would be fun simply because I really like their food. Then I got hired and before I knew it I was back in school practically. Training classes went from eight in the morning until five at night. Are you kidding me? I just have to serve food to people and now I am required to pass three different tests evaluating my knowledge of over 250 menu items, over 60 alcoholic beverages, 38 cheesecakes and about fifteen other desserts. I am so sick of studying flashcards of Chicken Madeira and White Chocolate Rasperry Truffle Cheesecake, and Zac is sick of quizzing me. My tests are in a couple of days. Cross my fingers I pass the first time so I can be done with such nonsense. It has been fun to get to sample lots of different foods for free. Zac and I practically get a free meal from there every night. Not too shabby. I never cook anymore. It has seriously been over a month since I cooked anything more complicated than frozen Chimichangas and cereal. Why do something when you don't have to, right?

Zac just accepted a job at Walgreen's Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Tech. It was either that or IN-N-OUT. Seriously, he had interviews at both places today. When he was offered the job at the pharmacy he decided it may be a bit more applicable for medical school and his future as a doctor. He is pretty excited to learn all about drugs. I was kind of sad he wasn't going to be able to bring home cheeseburgers, but I suppose I will still be supportive. He will work there until he starts school in August. Until then, we will both just work, work, work so we can be a tiny bit less in debt when he starts school.

I was right. I am already hooked, addicted, call it what you may, but I think I am going to have a lot og fun with this whole blog thing. I just have one question I need answered before I sign off, now that I am an official blogger and all, why is it called a blog? I don't get it.

Last thing- I owe a thank you to my dearest friend since the fifth grade, Missy, for being so kind and inviting me to this whole new world of communication.

Till next time.
