Life as we know it.

Like I said before, I would update everyone on what the Crosbys are up to nowadays..soo here we go! Once we got home from Missouri (oh how i love that place..) we did a little exploring around SLC and figured out where things were, where freeways took us, it was quite the adventure sometimes. I looked for places to work and couldnt find a thing at first. Then I had interview after interview. nothing. I was so frustrated! Each place I interviewed at said they would call me by a certain day, that day came along...no call. But, after a MONTH, that seemed like eternity, I got a job offer from Macy's! It was for their flex team for cosmetics/fragrances dept. which is basically on call and I make my own hrs by scheduling myself every sunday with the left over hours from the other employees. I was just thrilled to have a job! I went through tedious hrs of training on a computer for a few days and then I was out on the floor. I was so nervous because I had to learn about six completely different make up/ skin care lines! holy smokes. Everyone that works at these counters was so nice and helpful when I first started...they still are :) The first week on the job my manager called me one evening and said there would be a part time position for the Clinique counter and asked if I wanted to do a phone interview with them. Absolutely! Well it was a week ago that I had the interview and the manager of the counter came up to me the first day we were working together and said that I had scored the highest ever on the interview and her boss called her demanding that I worked for the counter because she loved me! I don't quite understand how they would grade me on the interview by the type of questions they asked, but oh well I'll take it! Yesterday my manager made it official and told me they were dying for me to work in Clinique and that I had scored so high as to be a counter manager! Of course I hadn't been working there very long so she said down the road she will talk to me about that position if I wanted. I am so excited to be working for just one make up counter! less stress of having to know everything about the products when people come up and I have no clue about the line. haha. AND it is better pay that what we had expected! double score! So thats ONE of my jobs. My good friend Alli from Paul Mitchell has been working at this salon called Taylor D' Shaw as an assistant and told me she was going to be moving to a stylist doing booth rent and if I was interested she was sure they were going to need an assistant. After a few weeks of not knowing if they needed me yet and what the schedule would be I assisted one Friday at the salon as my "audition" i guess you could say. Well I just found out a few days ago that they want me to stay and work for them part time as well! So I have two part time jobs. Wed, Fri and every other saturday I will be working at the salon assisting and the other days I will be at Macy's! I get the best of both worlds, makeup and hair! I am so excited and feel so blessed to have gotten two wonderful jobs that I love. Nothings better than loving your job!

So that's my life. When I'm not working, I'm experimenting things from Pinterest whether it be cooking or sewing or..anything! Also in case you don't already know this I'm addicted to Zumba, so if i'm not working during the class, I'm at the class! And when I'm not being crafty or working out I'm with my husband on a date or at home playing board games or watching TV. Life is simply wonderful right now! As for Steven what does he do? He works hard in school keeping his grades up and also does a lot of things around the house for me when I get caught up in work like mop the floors, do the dishes and sometimes make me dinner :) Hes a keeper I tell ya!

In other news, we got a new car! My first ever owned vehicle...I'm all grown up now! haha Its a 2008 Ford Escape and I'm loving every minute I drive it. We always name our cars and so when we picked her up (they are always ladies of course) Steven came up with the name Roxy (short for Roxanne). :) I never thought I would get a red car. My favorite color is indeed red but I was never a huge fan of red cars for some reason, but this one I am definitely ok with :) Life is so much easier now that we have both cars. I dont have to worry about if Steven will be home from school on time for me to get to work without being late, or me not getting off work in time to pick him up from school. Our schedules are so opposite one of us was stuck at one place or the other and it was just very inconvenient and we are feeling so blessed in our lives right now.

I think that is all of the new news for now...Enjoy!

P.S. I am SO excited for fall! :)
