Work, Drive, Work

Well, I can finally let the cat out of the bag now . . .                                                                
      Cowgirl has a new job, as manager of the Joann's in the big new Spanish Fork store. She'll start in January, though starts hiring her team this month, but its now officially hers! Since she just started as a manager in March she and we were surprised she would be selected, but her Vernal store (where she's still at)  has done amazing under her leadership and now with this store much larger, it will be a new challenge, but she's up to it!  After paying her dues for six years, she's starting to move up the career ladder quickly and we're very happy for her. She is a natural leader and its fun to see her using her great potential.
      That's not the only big career news, though. MyGirl has her first official job, working as support staff at an elementary school in our district. She'll be monitoring the cafeteria and playground for two hours every school day. Its the furthest school in our district. We refer to it as "The Little School on the Prairie," or "The Country School," so we're spending some time on the road, but its a perfect transition for her into the world of work. Now that she's in the district, which is a really good one, she'll be able to move up to different positions next year and from now on, so its a good career move for her also if she wants it.
     As for me, my work is the same - lots of laundry, shopping, cooking, driving, cleaning, keeping things organized with a little sewing thrown in for some good creative challenges. The quilt top on my Halloween quilt is done. I'll start quilting it tomorrow and hopefully have it done by the end of next week.
