I just took my final final for the summer semester which means I am done with my 18 credits and looking forward to twelve days of freedom before it starts all over again! Good times!
For an update- I have completed my schtuff for substitute teaching and hope to have that completed so I can quit the bank ASAP and finally have a life again...for those of you who don't know, I am the lobby manager at wells Fargo and the service/store manager are always seeking out ways to tick me off and criticize my performance...example: Today I had a pencil stuck in my ear and my service manager said: "Melissa, come on, you need to take that out of your ear, that looks ridiculous go take it out right now that is not professional." In the time it took her to say this 7 people walked by with pencils in their ear...even when it is not me that is being criticised she finds a way to sneak me in..."Richelle, you have to take your break outside of the lobby. That's why we have a break room, otherwise Melissa cannot get her work done, three people have walked past her (Two) who were not acknowledged (false)." So you can see I'm very excited to leave and get out of banking. I'm off now to my first ever mutual project! Wish me luck!

New Calling!
I was so excited today to be called as a Beehive Advisor in the Young Women! I can't tell you how happy I am to be working with these awesome girls. It's kind of fun, because Adam teaches them Sunday School and now I'm their advisor...
Some of you may be thinking, what happened I thought you and Adam were the Activities Chair and Committee all in one? Well it appears that Heavenly Father was looking out for us, with our busy schedule we couldn't ever seem to find time to plan and orchestrate entire events for our entire ward by ourselves (with of course the help of our bishops AWESOME wife). We were in charge for a total of two and a half loathsome activities which were the cause of much strife.
Anyway, I am thrilled to be working in the Young Women's Program! The Bishop did warn us that everyone who is called to the Young Women end up pregnant lol so we'll have to see about that :)

3) Joy- First of all, your name is JOY so that is something to smile about, plus your baby is growing bigger every day and soon you will know if he/she is a he or she!
4) Grandma- because she always makes me laugh about something, intentional or not. And because she has found joy in her life for the last...uh oh, I don't remember...I think her 69th birthday is coming up this month? Anyway, well just say she has found joy in her life for at least 52 years cause that's how many years she's been married to my grandpa
5) Lesley- Because the other day I was driving though town when I came upon a school bus yard which had a fresh fallen show upon the roof...and it made me smile!

The Best Two Years!
I am one day late in posting but I need to pay tribute to the happiest day of my life! Yesterday (August 5th) marked the two year anniversary of our wedding day! To celebrate, Adam took me to a fancy Italian restaurant the day before (we both had classes yesterday) followed by a romantic dinner at home by candle light (provided by myself) last night.
So here's to the best two years of my life, being married to my best friend in the world, and loving life a little more...also to growing up together, having to pick each other up once in a while, struggling along together, having/being comforting arms...Marriage is so much more than I ever knew, and sometimes its a lot to take, but if you do it with the right person, life becomes a little sweeter, and a lot more worth it!
