Wordpress
I am currently in the middle of transitioning my lifestyle blog (this one) to Wordpress as my host site.
It's kind of a pain in the butt starting over, but I also feel that I will no longer be held down by my past and what is in this blog.
Once I have more done on my new blog, you guys will find out first!
I hope you'll join me and follow me through my new blog and journey.
Love you all!

April
You guys! It is April already!
This month looks jam packed!
I am currently home in Green Bay for Easter. I head back to Saint Paul Monday. I am already quite excited to head back. I cannot wait to move there in August!
Anywho, here's what is in store for the month!
April 11th I will be interviewing for the Education Program at Concordia. I am beyond nervous for this-it decides my future. What could be more nerve-wracking than that? I have yet to find out about what time I will be doing the interview process, but I am eagerly awaiting the email that will tell me my fate.
April 17th & 18th I am babysitting my cousins overnight. I am super excited about this! My aunt and uncle proposed this idea when Trevor and I visited when we got back from Spring Break. I'm loving the idea of spending more time with my cousins, and I'm hoping we watch their favorite movie: The Sound of Music.
April 18th is Trevor's 21st birthday! We don't really have plans figured out yet-but I'm hoping we celebrate at a restaurant so I can be a part of the festivities as well. I'm still in the process of buying his gift-he's so picky!
In addition to the above dates, Trevor and I need to tour apartments and find one we will be living in next year. Trevor will also be shooting for a new client, and I may be second shooting with him.
April will certainly be a busy month, but I'm excited for the adventures it will hold! I think it will be a fantastic time of preparation for the wedding as well.

The Weekend
This weekend was interesting (for lack of a better word).
I worked over 14 hours at Noodles and Company. That is normally about how many hours in a week I work over four shifts, not two.
While I greatly appreciate my GMs thoughtfulness of giving me a lot of hours before I am gone for a week, I would have appreciated a few less.
Yesterday, I woke up with searing pain in my right knee. I have had issues with it since high school, and it seems the recurring pain will not likely go away anytime soon. Besides my knee pain, my back was incredibly sore. I was not looking forward to work, but hoped that it would at least be a slow morning.
Boy, was I wrong.
Our opener was a no show. I rolled in at noon, two hours after an opener is supposed to show up. I noticed she was not there and was frustrated, then I noticed the line to the door. The manager quickly had me count a drawer, since I was the only experienced cashier scheduled. I stood for the next 45 minutes to an hour in one position, asking the same questions, "Parmesan or Feta," "Is that for here or to go," "Can I get your name for the order," "Would you like to add a side soup or side salad for a little over a dollar extra?" I imagine this was a little taste of what hell must be like.
The opener shift is always 10am-4pm. I was scheduled 12-3pm, 4-8:30pm. I was supposed to run front from 4-5 by myself, and she was supposed to run it from 3-4. However, since she didn't show another girl and I were asked to cover her time and shift our breaks around so we could be okay up front. My break changed to 3:30-4:15. I am actually quite surprised I got this break, since I figured I'd probably end up working straight through my full shift.
Thankfully, for my shift on Sunday I wore my knee brace. However, I am still sore this morning and have a slight limp. I'm thinking it will probably not be the best day.
As much as I love to rant about my job and write about all of the negative aspects, I really like working at Noodles. Granted, I don't see myself spending forever there, but I have bonded with my coworkers and it has slowly become quite enjoyable being there. (Plus the discount is nice.)
Also...we're hiring! If you live in Saint Paul and need a job, completely disregard the above statements, and apply! :)
