Things are looking up!

Keith and I were having problems with our job situation since we moved to Utah. Keith was getting $80 docked off from his paycheck every week, on top of the fact that he was getting maybe 20 hours a week. I got the call center job which pays $7.25 an hour with possibilities of bonuses, but only the people who were really persistent and could be there all day every day. I was starting to think it was hopeless and was about to quit the job completely.

Now things are looking better. Keith is done paying for tools, so there's an extra $80 a week, and he's getting TONS of hours! Last week he got the biggest paycheck since we've been here. Hallelujah.

For about a week and a half, the call center was not up and running because they were fixing the computers we use, so that was a little scary. When it was back open for business, they had gotten all of the kinks out of the system that were making the computers crash and whatnot. I'm thankful for that, because now we are getting more money! Before the break I was making barely $8/hr, and now my average rate is $13/hr! Yesterday I made $17/hr and I was SO excited. I'm considering making it my full-time job!

I applied at Hobby Lobby and the manager seemed really excited to hire me. He told me he'd get back to me once corporate clears me to work there again. Also, the Disney Store wants me to work for them too. I would rather work at the Disney Store, but again, I have to wait for approval from Walt Disney World. :D

I've also been working extra hours and trying not to shop as much to save money. It's hard, but it's totally worth it. We're planning to go to DISNEYLAND for Halloween! Last year at the Magic Kingdom was THAT good. I'm SO excited.
