Back Again...
So I know I didn't do a good job at updating this during the wedding process, I guess I just didn't want to give out too much information on what we were doing for the wedding, so people could be surprised about it.. Now that it's been almost a year, I guess I am going to try this blogging thing again, see how well it works.. I will post some pictures up from the wedding later, but for now it's time to update everyone on what's been going on over these past months..
Well for starters I can't believe that it's almost a year already, times gone by so quick.. We’ve accomplished a lot over the past 10 months.. We moved to Fort Collins Colorado in August, Gil was able to transfer his job in Wisconsin to Cheyenne Wyoming, which was about an hour drive one way, so he was commuting 2 hours each day for a total of 10 hours of driving in a week, crazy I know, but it was helping us with money besides the crazy amount spent on gas filling up about 2 times a week. Well after praying and applications put it, Gil was able to score a job at a blood donation center that is 10 mins away, we were excited with winter coming and the long commute, it was definitely a answer to prayers, and he will be getting paid a few dollars more which will be nice. Gil started his job last week with orientation and training it was a long week for him..
I was able to work at a McDonalds that is right across the street from us, so I would walk everyday to work and home it was nice.. It was a hard transition into it, didn't feel like I belonged there and was in the way most of the time and people didn't like me.. Not only did he get a new job, but I was called about a job at Kohls, so we both got a new job which was really nice, God has opened up so many doors for us being here. I haven't started my job yet, just was able to get to orientation, and hopefully start the first week in Nov. we will see..
During Gil's training he was over at the hospital and was getting a tour of it, and they were at a certain part of the tour and he saw some lady playing a Harp to some guy in a wheelchair, he later found that it was the Music Therapy clinic, he had lunch with one of his managers and was talking to her about how he is interested in it and whatnot, and she told him that once he gets settled in, she might be able to pull some stings and get him to job shadow, so he has excited about that, and if somehow he's interested in the job at the hospital they might be able to help pay for his schooling, so that will be nice..
We finally got our Cars registered to Colorado license plates yesterday and got our Colorado divers license, just gotta wait for them to come in the mail, weird I know. So I guess we are officially Colorado residents, well sorta, I think we have to wait a year, before it comes official..
With my Job at Kohls, we are ,unfortunately, unable to come home for Thanksgiving or Christmas, which stinks, because we were going to meet up with my Dad for Thanksgiving in Utah, and go home for Christmas. But Kohls have from the Middle of Nov- Jan all blocked off, so they won’t let anyone take off, cuz it’s there busiest time of the year, which is understandable I guess.. ;-) So we will be here celebrating together. She did tell me that I might be able to get off a day or two, so I’m gonna see if we can’t go home for a weekend in December, we will see what happens, But like I was telling my Mom obviously God has a reason for me getting this job and us not being able to come home, so it’s all in God’s hands whatever happens. If we can ‘t come home in December we will for sure do it in January sometime, and do Christmas with both of our families.
Well thanks for taking the time to read about our new life here in Colorado, keep us in your prayers as we are trying to follow Gods plan for our lives. I will try to keep updating this blog as much as possible..
With Much Love,
Gilman and Melanie Anthony
