working girl

I started work this week. I liked running a cash register again... but was really cranky when I came home the first day after only four hours of work. I need to be better about working. I was very blessed (and spoiled) to not have to work all summer long. I really can't complain. I only work 10 hours next week. It's technically a seasonal position, so I may only work there a couple of months. I sound like a negative nancy today don't I? I have a cold... maybe that's why.

Jaz and Steve came out to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We did the usual stuff-- visited the Malt shop, ate lots and lots of Grandpa's homemade bread, and went up North for the day. Photo below it compliments of Jaz/Steve.

I turned 22 last week! John had six days off so we were able to do lots of things together. It was probably the best part of my birthday. John let me listen to Christmas music, we were able to go to church together and stay all day, I got so many things chocolate to eat, and John rubbed my feet so many times. It was perfect.

John and I got skype. Now we can talk to Mom and Dad Klotzle sort of face-to-face! It's pretty cool.

We still haven't turned our heat on. It's super awful cold. That is one of the good things about living in an apartment. We may hate that on lawn day the leaf blowers are so loud John can hardly sleep, and that the lady above us gets very active around midnight, but the low heating bill is going to make it so much better.
