as for my life lately, there have been a few big changes. i
moved! i live about 6 blocks away from temple square in downtown salt lake. how
blessed i feel to be so close to the house of the lord. i can walk a mile and
be at the temple gates. it amazes me every time i see that building to think
that 40 years of hard handy work by the hands of the latter-day saints and by
the hand of the lord resulted in that beautiful building. i love living
downtown! the city isn’t too big, but it’s just big enough that there is plenty
to entertain yourself with. (side note: it really bothers me to finish my
sentence with “with” - it’s just
horrible grammar. i also feel ridiculous using proper grammar on a casual
american-english blog. oy vey. but at least i didn’t say “there is plenty with
which one can entertain themselves”, right? no? does that sound just so
nose-in-the-air/overly-formal-on-a-casual-blog?) it is so exciting to live so
close to the heart of a city – i mean, i’m in it! it adds a spark to my days
and makes me feel like a little kid (in terms of excitement). it really makes
me dream of new york. click here to read more about that. i also love my roommates. kimbo slice and i have finally
accomplished the feat – we are official roommates! the three other girls i’ve
moved in with are wonderful, and i feel like i really lucked out having only
known kim when i moved in originally. they’re already proving to be such a
blessing, and this is only the beginning of it all.
i have now been working at snugz for almost 8 months, and
about a month ago i received a promotion! i now work as sales support for national
accounts. our head of sales called me
into her office right before the application deadline and asked me to apply, so
of course i did. i had already thought about it, but i was intimidated by the
position because i had so little experience at snugz, and the thought of
working with national accounts just sounded so.. well, you know. big. national.
the works. i was excited she pulled me into her office and it was just the
nudge i needed. i, being brittaney, kept talking the whole thing down so i wasn’t
disappointed when i didn’t get the position, and when they offered me the
position i was thrilled. i’ve been training in that position for the past
month, so it’s definitely been something fun to keep me on my feet, and i
really love everyone i work with. i feel so lucky! i am also leaving on a trip
for work on monday to arizona. i am so excited and i feel like next week is
going to be a blast. i’ll keep you posted. (;
school is going well. i’m behind on reading, but what college
student isn’t mid-way through the semester? i’m planning on playing catch up
this entire weekend. i am really enjoying learning about personal finance. that
class is so interesting! my professor is one of the best professors i have ever
had the pleasure to study under. he is so energetic and excited about the
material he teaches, and he is very realistic when it comes to life and how
things just happen sometimes.
i am so excited that it’s october. we just had general
conference and i was so blessed to be able to attend yet AGAIN this session.
fall is my favorite season and october is the most perfect month of fall all
year. utah october is spectacular. the tree colors don’t compare totally to
indy, but the mountains make up for it. i’ll save this one for later, though.
in the meantime, i hope you are having a great autumn. sip some cider for me.
