One Year

One year ago today, I walked into a classroom, sat down with about 20 other people and felt really overwhelmed. I was one of three women in the class. My instructor asked the class how many of us had built our own computer. I was one of three who didn't raise their hand. My instructor then went on to explain the process the others went through to research the parts needed, search for the best price, wait for them to arrive, then set up the pc. All this was to convince the others in the class that buying a pc, for the average person, was actually a really good deal. After eight hours of this stuff I went back to my Uncles thinking, "What have you gotten me into God?"


Well, today, is my one year anniversary! I can't believe I made it this long. I honestly didn't think I'd be good at my job. I didn't think I'd like it, and wasn't very confident in my ability to assure the customer that I knew what I was doing because I didn't. I also didn't expect to advance much in this job.


Well, God had other plans for me! Six months after being here, after a great review from my manager, I was asked to be a SIT (Senior in Training), one who gives approvals and generally knows more about issues so can answer general "how to" questions from the FLAs (Floor Level Agents.) Again, didn't think I could do much, but okay, I'll try.


A few months later... I get an email saying I have training for the next three days. I go to training, having no idea what it was for, and find out my manager has decided I'd make a good trainer. Yeah right! I can train people to do my job? I didn't think I was that good. However, God had other plans yet again.


Just before Mongolia I was put into a class and asked to train new hires. I had a blast! Don't get me wrong, it was tough and not always fun, but I really enjoyed it. Since that class I've trained two other classes and will be training from now until the first of the year, all new hire classes! I'm very excited about it.


So, looking back on a year, I can't believe it's been that long, I can truly see God's hand in all this. He really does know a lot more than me and has much higher expectations that

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!

Barn Party 2007

I had a great time tonight at the 3rd Annual Barn Party! For the first time I entered into the chili contest and the pie contest. I was quite surprised to actually win both! Of course, mine was the only fruit pie, but I was up against some tough competition with spicy chili. Especially since I don't really like chili, or spicy stuff. I had Crista taste it first, and then another friend. I actually didn't taste it until after Stess had put some in her bowl. Wow it was spicy! I do have a funny story to go along with my items. Pictures are worth a thousand words, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, so you'll have to use your imagination. On the way to the party Stess had the crock pot of Chili sitting in a large cardboard box on her lap. In her hand was the pie in it's pie plate. We were driving her little Mustang and I was driving, trying to do so carefully so as not to spill the chili or dump the pie. We went up a small hill and realized that the chili wa...
