Well, I'm always so busy updating Rhett's blog, that I don't really take the time to update the blog for all of us. Things are settling back down to normal now. Rhett is now five weeks old and growing fast! We just got back from Portland and from doing a scrapbook show. Our shows hadn't been going well lately, so the fact that this one went well was a big boost to our self confidence. It was the second show of the year for us and it should keep us busy. Our next show is here in Salt Lake and it is by far our best show.
On Wednesday, John, Rhett, and I are heading down to Las Vegas for a few days. Last fall, I was trying to get a summer internship with Ernst & Young (a big four accounting/auditing firm for those who don't know what they do) and I ended up JUST missing the cut. The recruiter told me that if ONE person turned down their offer, I was next on the list to be called. Talk about frustrating when it was the ONLY place I wanted to work. Anyway, I got back together with the recruiter to see what my options were and she set me up an interview at their location in Las Vegas. Though John and I aren't thrilled at the aspect of living there should I get a full time position, it's an excellent opportunity for me and eventually I should be able to transfer to another location.
I'll admit that I am a little nervous about the interview. In the Salt Lake location, I knew the firm and what they specialized in here, their big companies, and I got to know the staff. Going into Vegas, I don't know anyone on the staff or am I familiar with all the companies they audit. This will be a true test of how energetic and outgoing I can be in order to sell myself for the position. However, it is exciting to have an interview at such a company that they PAY for you to come see them and provide a hotel room as well. Now all I have to worry about is fitting back into my business suit after having a baby. I still haven't lost all of my weight from Rhett and I still have a little bit of a pot belly so I'm praying I fit into my suiting pants (I'm too afraid to try them on JUST yet...).
School has been an adjustment with Rhett in the picture. Projects, homework and reading that shouldn't take that long are taking longer because I have to take the time out and tend to Rhett and if he's clingy or cranky, I don't get much done... There are days I feel like I get NOTHING done, but I really can't complain because I love spending time with Rhett too. John helps the best he can, but sometimes Rhett just wants his mommy and/or food. Since I'm the source of THAT, there isn't much John can do. I should find out in a couple of weeks if I made it into the masters program.
I guess that's about all the news with us right now.
