more about life...

you know, out of everyone that i know that has a blog, i think that i am the only one who updates on any kind of regular basis. not to say that i post regularly at all, but i do post a lot more than others...the three that i do know of at least. just another update. no pics again. they are coming soon though. and they will be of our new house. we just spent all of last weekend moving into a newer and bigger house. we painted mostly on friday. we weren't too impressed with the color of some of the rooms in the house so my dad said we should paint them before we moved furniture in. smart move i think, just very time consuming and tedious. we should start our own painting business because we have done it enough times that we are pro's now.
the pictures are coming later because not everything is done being unpacked and we still have some new furniture items to purchase. because this house is bigger, we have more space that we didn't have before, almost an entire room, so we are getting more furniture to fill it. so the pics will come in a week or two. that and kristen wanted to see the new house.
so i started sales today for directpointe and i realized that i am a terrible salesman. i was much better in procurement. and i liked it more. all i need to do though to stay on is hit 7 leads a month. it is harder than it sounds though. i am terrible. i said a couple of posts ago that i was going to get my associates while i was down here. i don't think that that is how it is going to work out now. as much as i love being home, i don't know how long i will last at this salesman job and i want to go to byu. there are some other things involved with that but i don't want to go into those too much right now. i need to figure it out before december though. i will be heading back up to utah for a visit right after thanksgiving in california with my mom's family and i think that will be when i make my decision. i don't want to rush into anything like i did with my move back home. don't get me wrong, it was the right decision, it just happened really fast. i left a very good job that was paying very well and had another job on saturdays that was just fun. i got paid to have fun basically. but it was awesome. i was going to be able to pull myself out of dept but not take any classes in the fall and once again have to pospone my schooling and i really did not want to do that. schooling is my main reason for moving down here. there have been a couple of perks along the way, like meeting kristen. that was a huge plus but not the reason i did it. anyway. that is me for now. we'll see how things work out later on.
