PHR

Yesterday I took my Professional Human Resource certification test and passed!
Now this is so exciting because I took it last year and did not pass it. So I was a little nervouse this time around, but I passed.

This certification doesn't really benefit me know with Boise, but if I decide to look for another job it will benefit me. Most of the really good HR jobs have begun to require a bacholers degree, PHR Certification, and 5 years of experience. Once I get the experience I will have all requirements!

June 13

My baby is now 14, yet I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday.

I will have to post pictures later, but I cannot beleive that my cute little screaming, fit throwing baby is now 14. He will be entering into highschool next year, taking drivers ed, and doing all of the grown up things that no longer require the assistance of a mom.

For his birthday we celebrated with matt's family the weekend before. Matt's dad cooked hamburgers and we had a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (Patrick does not like cake). The day before his birthday we opened presents and went to Twin Falls for dinner. The day of his birthday he went to football camp.

I will post some of the pictures a little later....

One Year Ago

It has been a little over one year since I have moved to Burley, and what a year it has been. I think I have gone through every emotion and every question possible. Well I got to Burley, loved the job, hated the town. After a few months I grew frustrated with the job, but worked through that. I dealt with the frustration of our house not selling or even being looked out. I worked through the long distant thing and then when Matt finally moved her I watched him hate his work and get frustrated with going to work. The worst part was when I watched Patrick cry because he hated school and did not have friends. I often asked my myself, what have I done? And wondered if I had made a huge mistake.
So after a year what do we all think?
I love the job, all of the frustrations I have worked through and will probably continually work through. The town has grown on me, I don't mind it too much now. Matt loves his job and is happy for he has learned and Patrick is getting involved in school. He is playing football, in the band, and making friends.
Now when I say we can move bakc to Idaho Falls, they say no.
It is crazy to think it has been a year and nice to know that we have finally settled in.
