I started my actual training at Jetblue this week. It has been a little frustrating because there are a few in our class that are older and so it seems to go slow at times. So far it has been pretty easy, basic data entry stuff. I am sure it will get more involved as we go on. The hardest thing has been getting up at 5:45 getting ready and then getting the kids up and ready before I leave at 6:45. We are definately going to have to take a trip after the holidays to show the kids it will be worth it.

1st day at JetBlue

Ok, so I got the job with Jetblue and today was my first day. It started at 5:30 am when I woke up and showered. Can I tell you that it has been a very long time that I got up that early on purpose. I was a little anxious about leaving the kids to themselves so I had Arleene come over and make sure everyone was dressed and brushed before going to school. We started orientation at 7 am. The beginning was great. They are a fun group of people but after lunch my brain was mush and of course that was when they covered the important stuff. Things like benefits and harassment. It was nice to be in a room full of adults and talking about something other than what is on disney.

By the way for those of you who don't know the adults are going to be celebrating Dad's 70th birthday on Saturday the 27th at 1pm. We will be going to lunch at Los Hermanos. I will be taking care of Dad's meal but the rest of you are on your own. Let me know if you can come so I can make the reservations ASAP. I asked what kind of gifts he would like and you know dad the answer was not much. He did say he liked movie passes or dinner gift cards. I was also thinking that Deseret book is probably a safe bet.

New Job

Well it looks like I will be working as a reservation specialist for Jetblue. I recieved a phone call that sounded as if I was hired. It was a little strange because they said they were still waiting for all of the background info to come in but when did I want to start training. So I believe that means I will be starting on Oct. 18. I am a little anxious about the first 6 weeks of training. I will be going to the training headquarters off I-215 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. I am hoping my house will survive. I will also be studying so my days will be full. I am very excited and can't wait to use some of the benefits. I figure it will take me a little while to figure it all out but then we will be traveling fools.





School is going well. I am in the process of writing my second paper. I am not sure how I am doing in my classes because being online makes it kind of hard to see how you are doing. My teachers don't seem to be in any kind of hurry to get the grades out. I believe I am doing ok in Math it has been pretty easy so far. I'm not sure about next semester. I have to see what kind of schedule I get at work. The schedules last three months and then they change. I am hoping it all works out.


Life is good. Corbins football season is about over, he only has one more game. Just in time to help with the kids. He also finished his eagle project so now once he has his interviews he can get his license. I will be happy when that happens, it has been a long time coming. The rest of the kids are doing fine. Trevor is on a campout and Kortney is having a sleep over. It seems like my house tends to be empty on Friday nights these days.
