Cam and I have moved three times within the last year. Blugh.
I graduated in the Spring (2013) in Marketing, so we decided to make the big move back home to the 801 so that I could get a "big girl" job. But first, Cam and I needed to find a place to live. We found these darling apartments and were super excited because our friends Rach & Dave were also living there! We moved our stuff in and within a month, we started to get the munchies almost every night...yes, we had awesome neighbors. The neighbors were lighting up every night to the point where Cam and I got in our car to spend the night at the parents house. So, unfortunately Cam and I had to fight our way out of our lease (more like threaten them that Cam's dad would take them to court), and had to find another place to live. We played secret agent for a while and Cam would talk to the management office while keeping his phone in his pocket to record their conversation. Pathetic I know, but it was getting to that point. The day we knew we were getting out of our lease, I hopped on KSL and found this beauutiful basement apartment. Within two days we were out of our lease, moved all of our stuff out of our old apartment (which we had only lived in for 3 months) and into the new apartment.
It was SUCH a blessing.
So, during this entire fiasco, my first big girl job started out at Orangesoda which is an online marketing company down in American Fork. I was doing PPC (pay per click) work for the company but unfortunately, it wasn't the best fit for me. But being who I am, I kept trying hard to love it and kept pushing myself to do better every day. Sometimes I tend to over think things in life and I thought that was one of them so I kept chugging through. Long story short, I had interviewed with Instructure, Inc. months before I interviewed with OrangeSoda. Instructure gave me a call saying they were hiring again and wanted me in for another interview. I had just interviewed with them just a few months back and I was so excited that they wanted me to be considered for another position.
I went in for the interview and got a call a few days later telling me that I got the job! I was so very excited. It was such a blessing that I got this job because I could tell that I wasn't happy at Orangesoda. I would come home from work just so exhausted and would go straight to bed because I was drained.
Moving into our new apartment, and getting my job at Instructure, was truly a blessing from above. I am happier than ever at Instructure and can't wait to see what the future holds at this company.
Cam is continuing his Business degree at the U of U (not to mention that he's been to almost all the colleges in Utah; UVU, USU, SLCC, and now the U) and is loving that he can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. He will be done in about a year so he's getting really excited about that. I'm so proud of him for working hard and being ambitious about his future business plans. That is one thing that I've learned more about Cam since we've been married. He is so driven to be successful in this life. I know that he's going to do great things. So proud of him.
Now that Cam and I are back in SLC and are finally settled, we're loving where we're at right now. I've always had a hard time appreciating "living in the now" because I feel like I'm always looking for the next step. And we all know what the next step is after you get married. I've always dreamed of being a mother, so this was a really hard concept for me to grasp soon after we were married. I now realize that I needed that time with Cam so that we could learn and grow as a couple. I love Cam even more than I did on our wedding day when we kissed over that alter. He's taught me so much and I appreciate his endless love. He never gives up on me.
And there's your update!
Until next time,
KRR
