My new job

I work at the University Inn on campus as a housekeeper. I have only been to work three times now and I like it so far. I really enjoy cleaning the rooms and knowing that what i am doing will help someone feel happy. I also like trying to guess who will stay in the room next, who just checked out of the room, or what the current occupants are like (if they will be there for a few days). If i clean a room while the current user is away and wants the room clean, i get to put a cute note in their room with a mint for each occupant. I like that part too, especially when they leave a tip :) Another thing i like about my job is that i am constantly moving and it feels like a good work out sometimes. I am a little slow at cleaning right now, but i am learning what kind of a routine works for me and I'm slowly getting faster. Tomorrow is supposed to be a really busy day because 67 people are going to be checking out! My boss told me to come an hour early so that i would be able to get all my rooms done. I hope it goes well.
I am very grateful to have this job and i am so glad that my Father in Heaven helped me find and get it! When it hit me that i would have to work on Sunday for this job i was scared and i hesitated to take it because keeping the sabbath day holy is very important to me. So i prayed and fasted about it because i knew that this was a job that needed to be done on Sunday too. I knew that the Lord would answer my prayers and He did! I know that this is where He wants me to be, and I am grateful everyday for this amazing experience!

my new blog

I created a new blog today! It's a food blog! Yeah! Here's the address: cheepeating.blogspot.com I know, I know, it's spelled wrong, but I did that because of two reasons. The first reason is because cheap eating was already taken and secondly because it will make for a great bird theme! I give a third reason on the actual blog. So you should all check it out!

Look what I can do!

I love baking! I think that's why James and I look so...um...healthy :) Today I made this wonderful pastry. I got it from this site: http://17andbaking.com/2010/04/02/blackberry-jam-almond-bars/
