Seriously so blessed you guys, like for reals

I recently discovered a blog on one of my friend's blog (thanks for sharing Heidi!) that perfectly encapsulates your typical LDS mommy blog out there. It takes many elements found on most of our blogs and embellishes them in a hilarious, satirical way. I don't know who the author of the blog is, but I guess that's all part of his/her mystique! Enjoy!!

I don't wanna grow up...


Oh, if only we could be Toys R Us kids forever...err...I mean, if only we could be perpetual college students forever, then we'd always spend our evenings and weekends studying...then we'd always get to see lots of each other during the day...then we'd always be apartment dwellers...then we'd always survive on mac n cheese and Papa Murphy's pizza...then we'd always shop for great bargains at the Goodwill...(wait, I think I'll always do that last one no matter how affluent we ever become!)

Alas, Josh and I have now officially returned to the adult world. He began a "real" job last Monday!!!!! He works for--get this--his (and soon to be my) alma mater in the Accounting department! That's right. He is now employed by CWU. Ha. His official title is Fiscal Analyst and he works in the admin building. So far he is LOVIN' it!!! His coworkers are nice and fun to be around. What a blessing.


He searched and searched for a job. I betcha that he filled out at least 50 applications and sent out just as many resumes. He even had a few interviews with some pretty cool companies. For example, he interviewed with a company in SLC, UT that makes video game simulators for law enforcement agencies and the U.S. military!! Of course, he would've worked in the accounting end of things and not actually producing or testing the video games, but whatever. It was the company's product that excited him!!

In the end it was Central that offered him the best job for the best moola. And the benefits!!! Dang. This university sure takes care of their employees. Plus both of us are SO thankful that we get to stay in Ellensburg with all of our rockin' friends and church fam. We have come to love this teenie town because we have made some of the best friends that either one of us have ever had.
I'm so proud of my workin' man!! He is suited perfectly for this position and I know he'll do it very well. I just hope that he doesn't end up looking as strung out as that poor sap in the picture. Maybe around tax season each year he will...
