First of all, we had been discussing for a while if Trey should get a second job to keep him busy when I move out to California and just to save some extra money. So we decided that he should apply at Jimmy John's (for those of you who have never heard of Jimmy John's its a sandwich shop with the best sandwiches in the world. Not even exaggerating.) since he has worked there before and has management experience from working in the one in St. George. So he went in and applied and the general manager there noticed that Trey managed the one in Stg and asked him to come back the next day for an interview. So Trey went and had a great interview and then he was asked to come back the next day for another interview with the owner! We were a little confused because usually they don't have you meet with the owner so we kind of suspected something was up. So he went the next day and basically they told him they have a couple new stores opening and want Trey to be a general manager!!! We couldn't have been more shocked haha because we were just hoping for a part time job. The only stipulation they had was if Trey would quick working at FedEx. We were a little worried about that because FedEx offers really good benefits, but not as good pay. So they made an agreement. Trey would work for a week at Jimmy John's and they would see how they think he would do as a GM and then let him know if it was a for sure thing or not. Trey worked 3 days and they told him they had seen enough and to go ahead and put in his two weeks at FedEx so they could start training him up and get him ready to manage a store around the end of May!!! For the past two weeks trey has been working both jobs full time (finishing up his last two weeks at FedEx) and it has come out to him working about 17 hours a day!! So he has been exhausted. Today is his last day working both jobs, and tomorrow is his last day at FedEx. Thank goodness! He is such a hard worker and an even better sport about it. I'm so thankful for all he does for me. I honestly could not ask for a better husband!!! I love him lots and lots :) He has to go out to Illinois for training for two weeks at the end of this month, which is great because he will be kept busy and not have time to miss me while I'm in California. Well I hope he misses me a little ;) So we are SO excited about this new job! He will have time to go to school and still be able to see his new little man once he's here! And the pay is wonderful :) This is truly a HUGE blessing for us and a wonderful stress relief! We are so thankful that the Lord has given us this opportunity and we would be so ungrateful if we didn't say we KNOW He blessed us with it. He has a plan for us and my testimony has been strengthened to know that if we put our faith in Him, He will bless us and guide us to where we are supposed to be! Everything seems to be falling into place and we couldn't be happier. Well, one thing would make me happier... and that's when my little boy gets here :)
Another exciting happening was my first baby shower!!! My mom's best friend from all the way back in seventh grade, the beautiful Rosalee Ewell and her girls threw me such a cute shower! It was so fun! They made chicken salad sandwiches, a yummy salad, a fruit platter, homemade oreos which were to die for, and mini green cupcakes!!! We played some cute games and opened presents and visited a lot. It was really nice. They decorated the house with blue and green balloons and lots of blue and green polka dots to match the invites I made :) I really couldn't have been a happier girl that day! And of course what made it even better was the company! And I'm going to name everyone because I don't ever want to forget it! haha My Aunt Tracy and cousins Jessica, Morgan, and Kassidy came and Jessica brought her adorable daughter Ashlyn who of course entertained us with her dancing and cool gymnastics moves! It was really good to see them! My cute little California girls came, Sarah and Alyx. They are going to school here in Utah so I was so happy they were able to make it! I rode down with my friend Libby, who works with Trey at FedEx! Trey's mission buddy's wife, Shannon, who I consider a pretty good friend now, came with her beautiful new daughter Tenlee :) My friend Chelsea Curtis came too, as well as Trey's stepmom and step sis, Linda and Coy. Rosalee's daughter, Ashton was a huge help and she is also expecting her first baby! And of course Rosalee and her other two daughters, Madeline and Victoria. They are so stinking cute! We all had fun catching up and visiting and talking a lot about babies! It was very very nice :)
