Past Few Weeks

Emersyn got a job! She's had it for a little bit but told us we couldn't come by until she was done training. She is at Stella's, an ice cream place in Eagle. She likes it so far, but it does make her wrist hurt after a longer shift. 

These past two week I traveled to Twin to train a new employee. It's actually Brad's sister Heidi, so it was fun knowing them a little more, even before we started to train. 

As I was getting ready, the dogs knew something was up. They know what suitcases are and it usually means we leave for a bit. I took mine out to the car and Luna jumped in. She wanted to go. I had to drag her out of the car. Thankfully I was the only one leaving, so it wasn't bad for her. 

It was nice for a bit to not have to do anything after work. I would get dinner most nights and eat and watch movies all night. I caught up on a lot of random movies and had some good food. I spent time with family as well. While it was nice to just veg out all night, I did miss being home and seeing my family, so I'm glad to be home now. We still have more training to do but the rest will be in Meridian. I never thought in my life ever would I be traveling for work AND training people. It is a lot of fun to train new people and watch them as they start to understand the job and all we do. 

Jacks Is 15!

On Sunday Jackson turned 15! The same with the other kids, it's gone too fast. He started drivers ed, so our last one we have to drive around with for six months. I was in Twin for work, so we were able to have Jarom at our house for a week. The two had a blast. For his birthday we went and the 'The Backrooms' then had dinner at a BBQ place. On Sunday we opened gifts and the treat he wanted was Small cakes cupcakes. He wanted a few gaming and One Piece things for his birthday. 

He finished his first year of High School this year. He wanted to go to Renaissance like his siblings and he went knowing none of his Jr High friends were going. The mom in me was a little nervous for that, but he loved it and made new friends throughout the year. He is really into gaming and gets online and plays with Jarom and friends from school. He still will clap when he does something well. He also likes art a lot still and took an art class this year in school. Its fun to see what he creates. Jacks has been watching and catching up on shows and movies that we or the other kids have said are good. Right now he is finishing the office. He loves to watch movies with Beck, when Beck suggests one that we will let him watch. Jackson did a Ted Talk in school about how younger kids now don't like to sit and watch drama movies. His teacher loved it and he got one of the highest scores. Jackson has always loved dramas and will sit and watch long movies that typically kids his age won't watch. He at the age where he is figuring out who he is and a style he wants. It's always fun to watch them learn and grow with that. It's even better when styles from Brad and my teen years are the things they choose. He has liked driver ed so far, but says that turning is the worst. Hopefully that gets easier because that's a big part of driving. He is a lot like Brad and very calm and mellow. Even Emersyn's friends notice that he nonchalant. He loves Dave's Hot Chicken and gets Uncle Paul to go with him as much as he can. Paul likes it more than the rest of the family. When I started these birthday updates, I didn't think much about the three questions I always ask them. Looking back now, there are so many other things I could have tracked that would have been better. But here we are. His favorite subject is  History. His favorite food is fries (he is my son) and his favorite game is Cuphead.
