The Week of Feb 2-7 I had new employee and area training at SLC due to being the new full time employee at Family Services. I had my boss take a couple pictures of me and my two MSW cohort friends Shannon and Sam, but he wouldn't give it back and used it for his own selfie purposes. So that's Ken my manager and Stephanie my regional manager and his sister in law Allyson who works at headquarters. The lunches were nice but the rest was like sipping water from a fire hose. I'm growing and learning a lot.
My family being awesome and making dinner without me. Also I took some practice pictures with my new phone. I got an upgrade through my company and it was a very nice perk.
Our master bedroom/bathroom remodel is coming along slowly but surely. Dust in the house every day and out room arrangements are interesting, I'm alone in the old office and Jared's downstairs in Weston's room (too cold and loud down there for me). But it is looking so nice and I can't wait to show the results in March's post. Here are some progression pics.
Jared wrote me a nice note on my lunch one day. He has been very helpful in the mornings making breakfast. Unfortunately that is partly because he has had a hurt back most of the month and couldn't play basketball. It seems to be getting better though.
Weston made it to the temple in February twice! And I love how they do it now and I can be a witness. It's nice to have a buddy, thanks Trevan.
My Christmas present to my parents was a trip to Lake Havasu in February, so I helped with Grandma and Krystal's girls for presidents day weekend.
My brother Jesse and his wife Kelsy welcomed their fourth baby, Othello Frost Barrett, February 19th. He is a perfect and beautiful little boy.
We still have the horse and take him out to ride a couple times a week. I get to shovel the stall when Jared's back is hurt.
We took a Saturday to visit Jared's dad and Bonnie. We got to meet Savanna and Joey in Salina to eat some mexican food all together.
Savanna found an apartment she could rent in Lehi and moved out the last day of February. She was sad and has had some growing pains, but is working two jobs and will be closer to her school once she starts. We are proud of her for moving towards independence and pray for her every day as she gets on her feet.
Also the last day of February on this Leap Year we celebrated my brother Justin's 32nd birthday at his house. VR games and food and fun. I needed a fun break that night. Love my family.
