Four jobs I’ve had:
1. Cashier at Bath & Body Works, left after 2 months after I realized I was only getting 5hrs of work a week.
2. Toddler teacher at Kids World a daycare. Worked full time for them for 8 months, I then decided I wanted to go back to school.
3. Cashier/Customer Service at Tube Time a kids fun play area. I worked there for about a year before I got a job at the local museum in town.
4. Museum educational programs assistant I also have worked here for a year before I was offered a wonderful opportunity.

Last Tuesday I was offered a job at the College Library as a Graphic Designer it all happened so fast. Monday afternoon I got an email from my Graphic Design teacher saying there was a position open, so I called and got an interview for Tuesday morning. I took my portfolio of work into the interview; which they loved. The interview went extremely well and they offered me the job. I'm sad I'll be leaving the Museum but this position is right on campus and is in my line of work, I'm grateful for the experience.

Four movies I can watch over and over:
1. The Labyrinth
2. Rat Race
3. Love Actually
4. Just Married

Four countries I have been to:

Four places I’d rather be right now:

2. In Las Vegas, was hoping to go for a couple of days but found out we couldn't afford the trip.
3. In my new job.
4. Fast Forward 5 years, both of us in good jobs and looking for a home to start a family.

Four foods I like to eat:
1. Artichoke hearts- Lately I've had a thing for these.
2. Cheese
3. Bread- Fresh Baked.
4. Chocolate- I know I'm bad.

Four places I have lived:

Other than my new job what's been going on in my life.. finished school for the summer I now have about 5 weeks off I go back to school and my new job September 24th. I'm thinking I got an A out of my Typography class. Clayton and I went to the local country fair yesterday, it was great had good time. The fair rides were cool, we played bingo, watched many animal shows. In the evening we went to the country concert of George Canyon and Clay Walker. We enjoyed our date to the fair. Today Clayton and I have snuggled on the sofa and watched movies all day.

Tomorrow I take Coal-Dust in for her appointment to be spayed, so she's going to be sore for the next 10 days.

Anyone know anything about gardening? I've somewhat become a green finger this year and have gone all out planting and making a small garden. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing I have spent a small fortune on plants that will inevitably die and won't grow back next year. (I bet I've jinxed myself now!) I bought mostly perennials that'll come back next year, and have mostly got shaded plants as I'm in quite a shady area with all the big evergreen trees. I have however bought some herbs, Oregano, Basil and some mint, and have planted them today, which I have just realized they need full sun not partial. I'm just hoping they won't die on me, anyone got any tips?

We also bought a new garden swing which took us ages to put up, but it's nice to sit out in our patio and enjoy the sun. Too bad summer is nearly over.
