Catching up on life

It has been a long time since I have posted but Cody and I have been very busy. Here is what has been going on with us...

Cody is still loving his job at Amazon

For those of you who didn't know, I was laid off in November and that TOTALLY sucked. But, we were fortunate enough to get through that tough time and in January I got a contract job at Amazon as a Recruiting Coordinator for the College Recruting team. People always ask if it is weird working at the same place as Cody/doing the same thing BUT it really isn't. We are in 2 totally departments and different buildings so we don't even see each other..it does make commuting nice though! :)

Right when I started my job I fell in love with it and the team right away. Long term, I think I want to become a Lead Recruiter for College-Recruiting but for now, I am keeping myself VERY busy with the RC Role and learning a lot. OH..and to make things better, I recently got offered a Full Time Role in the team. I officially start as a Full Time employee this Monday. I am so excited. This job is EXTREMELY fast paced and I love it. It is weird how quickly things change. 1 year ago I was still at SL Start, loving my job but wanting a better opportunity, then took a job at an Advertising Company where possibilities were endless...then I get laid off and was completely lost with what direction my career should go. Then, along came Amazon. I feel so at home with this job and my team. God truly does take care of us and knows the path we are taking before we do. The trials this past year has put me through only made me stronger and looking back, it was a blessing in disguise getting laid off.

Anyway, enough about work...Cody and I still enjoy doing Crossfit. We are currently in a 30 day challenge with our gym for a Paleo Diet and are at the halfway mark.It is similar to what I did back in October but even more strict. It hasn't been easy but we are both seeing some awesome results (Cody more than me ...hate guys) and it is getting easier. The hardest part is the social part..going out with people and not being able to have a drink or being extra picky when we order kinda gets tiring...So far we have had 2 waiters comment on our healthy eating choices. :P Kinda cool I guess. Oh, and skipping out on birthday cake for our birthdays wasn't the easiest thing to do..especially when someone makes you red velvet cupcakes!!

We are also competing in the Warrior Dash in May. This is going to be awesome. You can learn about it right here: www.warriordash.com.

Oh, and how can I forget Mia..she is doing great. She is now 4.8 pounds..such a fatty :P

All in all, Cody and I are doing GREAT. We are so excited for this year and what it brings..it has already changed our lives for the better.

Now, it is time to take my neice and nephew to the aquarium..a post will be coming about that.

Until next time...
