Good News

My first couple weeks in Arizona, I worked part-time at home with my nephew, Evan. Then a couple of weeks ago, I added a second job, at my brother-in-law's sister's house. It was my job to keep the house clean, do the laundry, and pick up the kids, and it paid well. Also, I teach a few swimming lessons each week, so it's always a complicated answer when people ask me where I'm working...and it's about to change again!

Now, in the afternoons, I'll be getting some marketing/pr experience as well! Reed and Sabrina (the parents in the family I've been working for) run a housing business here in Arizona, called Trend Homes, and are willing to let me work with their marketing person for a 2-3 hours a day for some experience. It will likely be unpaid, at least in the beginning, but I probably need experience right now more than I need money anyway. And I'll still be getting a couple hours with the kids in the afternoon, so it sounds like a perfect solution to me!

All in all, Arizona is turning out to be a great experience for me. It seemed like a bit of a rough start, but I've met a bunch of great people, I love my ward, and I'll be able to have some adventures that I wouldn't have had anywhere else. I love living with and being able to spend so much time with my sister and her family. They're amazing!
