New Job

Today was the first day at my new job. I am working part- time for a shoe company that does the shoes for our local K-mart. I had a good first day. I enjoyed my time and learning new things. It will be nice as winter hits to get out of the house a little bit . I will also get to still be home a lot though which I like so I think it will be a good balance for me.
As for other things going on... last night the youth girls group that I help with meet at our house. It was nice to have people over to our new place. It is also nice to know that the to do list of things inside and outside of the house is now quite small. After the girls left and Shane came home he was placing the last of the compact florescent bulbs in a lamp and well it slipped and dropped on the floor. It was really scary for a moment not knowing what to do, I went to the internet to find info. We did all the steps for clean up including ventilating the house for several hours which was quite cold. I must admit it really made me nervous but luckily it was on hardwood not carpet and Shane was able to get everything cleaned up. Those light bulbs are sure nice for saving on the bill yet scary that they have mercury in them. Has anyone else had something like this happen to them? Well that's all I have for now.

busy,busy

Well it has been a long time since I have wrote on here. Over the last few months we have been saving and then buying a new house here in Glendive. I have been working hard to get everything unpacked. It is so nice to get things out of boxes, some things had been packed for almost nine months. It has been like Christmas opening up the boxes because you forget you had some things.I will post pictures of the house sometime soon. I want to get everything finished first. While we were waiting to close on the house I applied for many jobs but none of them were a good fit for me. I had given up and decided I would just be a house wife which I love. Then out of the blue a job posibility came my way and I have decided to take it. I will be working in the shoe department at Kmart starting next week. I will be working about 16 hours a week which is the amount I was hoping for. I am very excited and a little nervous about the job put I am sure everything will go well. I am really starting to feel settled in Glenidve and it is a good feeling. That's all for now, more to come.

New Adventure

As I was thinking about all I wanted to write in this blog post about me looking for a job I thought back to a song from a long time ago. The song that came to my mind was that of The Great Adventure by Stephen Curtis Chapman.....come on sing it with me..... saddle up your horses. So for those of you that are reading this and don't know me very well , you will never see me as that shy red head again will you. Anyways I decided I was going to talk today about my new adventure. I have been keeping my eye out for a job since we moved to Glendive about six months ago. The problem is that my degree is with drama and well that is a little bit harder to use in a rural area as far as for income. I do have one theater thing lined up, I will be directing a play for a high school about thirty miles away from here in the spring. I have been working on some scriptwriting from home and I have three different play ideas but none of them are finished. My dream is to some day get a play published. Anyways getting back on track now, I am looking for a job in the clerical/retail/whatever else area . Something that will get me out of the house a little bit and will get us a little extra money. Well enough on that I'm saddling up my horse and heading into town. Oh wait I don't have horses and I already live in town well I guess I will just say good bye then. :)

Have you ever...

This is a skit called " game day" which I did while in college, I thought it would fit well with this post.





Have you ever caught yourself cheering at the TV while watching a sporting event? It's quite funny to think about, cheering at a big box as if you were really at the event. Over the last week and half I have caught myself doing that very thing while watching the Olympics. Now I must admit it wasn't a really loud cheer , however I was definitely cheering at the big box. I had my hands in fists, face tightened and let out a little.. go, go, get going. I must also admit that the Olympics is not the first time I have done such a thing... I will pause for a minute so that you can finish gasping......... ok ya done yet? I must also say that no matter where I am when I get to watch a good ole Nebraska football game I have been known to wiggle in my seat and let out a few more of those cheers to the big black box. Now you might say this is the weirdist blog post you have ever read, but I bet tonight when you are watching the olympics on the big black box that you just might catch yourself with fisted hands, tighten face and letting out a bit of a cheer. Have a good day everyone:)

Bishop Family Reunion

Hello friends and family. Well since I enjoy reading other blogs daily I thought it was time to start one of my own. This past weekend was that Bishop family reunion. This was my first real reunion. I must say it was quite fun and interesting. I come from a small family and well the Bishop family is large! We had basically only immediate family there and that consisted of about 25-30 people. I can't imagine how many we would have had if all the grandkids and extended family was there. To give you an idea of the family size difference between the Grandy's and the Bishop's, if all of my immediate and extended family was to be in North Platte for a holiday there would be about 30 people. I have no 1st cousins on my dad's side and only two on my moms side. Oh the craziness.
