It's a quiet Sunday here. I am going solo for a week. Nick left yesterday morning with Katie and Lydia to Idaho Falls. They will packing up the rest of our belongings, as well as Katie and John's, and bringing them home. Finally!
I will keep myself busy with work and getting my cards for card swap done. I also hope to work some on Mackenzie's quilt. I know it is my trademark to procrastinate, but I figured that I will have it done in time for the winter.
Today in Sacrament Meeting the Minneapolis Temple president and his wife spoke, along with our stake president. The topic was Family and living worthy to attend the temple to bind our families forever. I know it is an old topic, but I heard new thoughts or thoughts that are not so new but that I just needed to hear again. The stake president reminded us of one of the talks giving last week in stake conference on prespective. He said that in living worthy to return to our Father in Heaven we need to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and Christ. We need to put into prespective our daily schedules that allows us to give our time in our relationship with Heavenly Father and Christ. We need to set aside the time to pray sincerely, study our scriptures, and give service daily. I am grateful for this reminder. I know that I need to strive to do better at this as I know that if I am doing these few things that I will be able to accomplish much more in my other routine things.
It's been awhile since updating my blog here. Been busy at work and moving into our first real place as a married couple. We moved into our duplex on May 25th, our 3 month anniversary. With most of our things still back in Idaho Falls there was not much to unpack and organized until we discovered garage sales and how much fun it is to get a lot of things for really cheap. We now have a fully stock grandkids toy room, kitchen is completely full (we still have a complete kitchen in Idaho Falls), and a queen size bed thanks to those in Waupaca County, Wisconsin that have so generously sold or given us their wonderful items.
During the first week and a half we did not have the internet and therefore no phone service. We know that several of our kids, family and friends were concerned on how we were as the tornados that had been touching down in our area. We apologize for this little mishap but all is well with us here.
I am trying to enjoy my job in the family & pediatric clinic but I am struggling. I was told that my job would be to check in patients when I am at the front desk, to schedule appointments and to answer questions when in the phone room, and then do re-appointments, schedule labs, x-rays... while at the re-appointment desk. I gladly accepted the position looking forward to working back in the medical field with patient contact. I also looked forward to the different areas of my job which meant that I would be busy. I guess I was wrong. I have only been at the check in desk for the last 7 weeks and was looking forward to start the training in the phone room this week and today I received a call from my manager letting me know that I will not be training again this week and will be back at the check in desk, as we are short staffed. As frustrating as this is I am trying to see the positives. One in that I have a job that is providing and income for our family. Two I must be doing a fantastic job at the front desk that they really need me to stay there. I really do like work in this area but I think that my frustration has been that I am not busy all the time and get bored. When I left First Call Jewel in Idaho Falls I was extremely busy and did not have time to just sit. So right now I think that is the problem. So tomorrow when I go into work I will search for things to keep me busy in between the patients checking in.
Okay reality check I am really doing well and am happy with my life. I am grateful for all that the Lord has blessed me with.
