So, I know it has been coupled of years since I last posted so in return here is a life update:
2018:
Finished my service mission and obtained my associates degree from Dixie State University, sister had her first child a healthy baby boy and named him Jaxson Roy. I was still working at Dairy Queen while on my full-time service mission and college student.
2019: Covid -19 occurred meaning was having to wear a mask and that wasn't fun nor exciting at all. Not much happened in 2019 except for new management at Dairy Queen since the lady that was running the place decided it was time to retire and she did, now they travel or spend time with their grandkids. Nephew Jaxson turned one.
2020: Covid-19 and never did catch it, but you never know. I was still working at Dairy Queen with shifts that were long hours and once in a while coworkers would just say I am done with said job. Jaxson turned two years old. He still is silly and gets all excited about any moving vehicle wither it is an airplane or car/truck. Rascal was diagnosed with early signs of kidney failure, and he just wasn't the same after that.
2021: I started going to #heartofcountryswing to line dance and what not. I still go to this very day and have gained numerous friends. Jaxson turned three. I found a different job that works well with my schedule. I was working at a place called Power Image working in the screen-printing department, so I quite working at Dairy Queen on my sister's birthday exactly. Was a good job and it was exciting to see how tee shirt logos are done! I even got to work in the digital department weaving stickers. My sister gave birth to another little boy in November, and he is so cute. Get this they call him smiley guy and he was really tiny when I first held him, they named him Stockton so my nickname for him is triple SSS. It is a blessing to be his aunt.
2022: Currently, this year has had lots of bumps in the road and the first one was when I was fired via phone call from the screen-printing job. So, I started to apply to more jobs and had interviews after interviews and nobody was really hiring. A friend approached me and said, "I would like you to come on done to Simple Sign and just get out of the house." So, I did just that. Since than I have been helping install flag poles or taking down the banners around town (Saint George, UT). Our car check engine light came on and turns out we had a misfire on cylinder 2, which meant spark plugs, wires, gasket valve cover, possibly a water pump, septertine belt, and axle boots. We are currently looking for vehicles. The friend I have been helping out did a rental so that I would have something to drive. I was driving a 2020 Corolla and let me tell you it was little and really low to the ground, now for those that know me know that I do not like being close to the ground in vehicle. Now I am driving a 2021 Toyota Tacoma and love it. Also, Rascal passed away in May of this year and it was the very week of my dad's birthday, grandpa Barton anniversary of death and Mother's Day. You never know what it is like when you lose a parent or a pet. We figured that he was close to 17 or 18 years old. The very week he was limp and not very active, he felt cold all the time, and when it came to trying to get him into the vet for an emergency checkup it was already too late. The vet put me on hold the day I called them and later that night he had passed away. It just hasn't been the same since he has passed away. It's weird to not have him around begging for treats or being a stinker.
The last job interview I went on was for paraprofessional (Special Education Aide) at a charter school. The day I had the interview I was hired the same day I had the interview. The school is GWA also known as George Washington Academy. Can you say that I am very excited to start at my dream job?
