Hello Again!

Oh my goodness, I haven't written in over a YEAR!! I am a terrible person. Haha :/

In my defense, however, I lost/forgot my password. NOTHING I tried would work, and I couldn't even pass the account recovery "quiz"! Part of that being due to me having a different phone number. Oh, and I also CALLED Google! They helpfully told me that they could NOT help me, and the only way to recover your account was through the online process. Thanks a lot peeps! So basically, I figured I would never recover my blog...and that I'd eventually have to start a new one. Long story short, my broken laptop was finally made usable (thanks to a nice tech friend of Erik's), and by doing the online recovery quiz on a computer I'd used to actually log in on before...I DID IT!! I was able to change my password! I've learned my lesson and will not make that mistake again.

Well now that you've read a whole story that you likely couldn't care less about, let's move on! The past year was good for us. Erik got a job at Ely State Prison as a Correctional Officer ("prison guard"), and so we moved into the middle of nowhere, Nevada! Literally though. You have to drive nearly 4 hours -or more- in ANY direction to get to decent shopping, etc.  Not exactly my favorite thing, but hey... we all have to go through things like this at one point or another. We were both also called to serve with the youth at church- myself in the young women's, and Erik in the young men's. We have really been enjoying ourselves, and it is def one of my favorite callings thus far. :)

I am currently a substitute teacher for the school district out here, and while it can be VERY stressful at times (*middle school* cough cough), I am enjoying being able to "pick and choose" when I work. It's especially nice if we decide to go out of town. I don't have to request work off! It's great! Not to mention, the four-day school week here. :)

I am still planning on furthering my career by pursuing additional schooling on top of my BS in Health Science, but I'm kind of on hold for as long as we live in Ely [Ee-lee]. It will happen eventually. :) Just gotta be patient!

Anyways, enough for now! I'm hoping to write a lot more frequently. Get after me if I neglect my duty. ;)
