Work so Far

In my last post I wrote about how Brandon got a job at Panda Express, this post is just kind of following up on that and also has pictures of him in his uniform! By the way, I apologize of how boring my posts are there's just not a lot of exciting things going on. So far Brandon is really liking his job. He has only worked one shift though, but he will be working his second shift today. While he is training he is part-time and once he "proves himself" they'll give him more hours. After the first day though the manager said he was already really impressed so maybe it won't be too long before he gets more hours. This is him in his uniform:

This next picture is of us and me wearing his work hat:


So there you go! I know this post was really lame I will try to think of something more interesting to write next time. Any suggestions?

Church Calling & New Job

So in our ward Brandon and I got called to be Nursery Leaders. We were pretty excited when we heard this because we think it will be a fun calling. However, our ward is a married ward and not a family ward so there aren't tons of kids, even less than that are kids who are actually old enough to be in Nursery. There are actually only two kids who are old enough. Brandon and I will be alternating with a three other couples so we will only be there once a month. However, yesterday was our first day and we had a lot of fun.

The two kids are Jaron and Calen. They are both cute kids and were fun to look after. One thing though is Calen is deaf and because of this he can't walk yet (because when you are deaf you have bad balance) and he can't talk. However, he does know quite a bit of sign language. His mom, Katie, is worried about leaving him alone so she will stay in there sometimes and usually Calen only stays for an hour and then goes to Relief Society with his mom. His mom is very nice and she was showing me signs that Calen might use so I can know what he is asking for. He actually kept asking for a balloon yesterday....it was funny. I want to be able to learn some sign language of what we will be teaching him too so then I can show him a picture of what we are talking about and then do the sign. He is a really cute kid.

So of course no Nursery lesson would be complete without some form of coloring activity so we colored pictures of a temple and a family that went along with our lesson. I made too many copies though and so Brandon and I decided to color too. Here are our works of art:



After yesterday we are still convinced that we will love these callings.

In other news, for the past month Brandon has been applying for jobs and yesterday he got a call saying that he has been hired at:



He was so happy after he got the call and I am so happy for him too. Brandon really does like to work and it has been boring for him while he has been trying to find one. He is actually working his first shift right now! I am hoping that on the nights he closes that he can bring home some of the leftovers because Panda Express is my favorite fast-food restaurant.
