- When we first moved here both Ken and I got jobs at a place called Chrysalis. I have had a much better experience at this job than Ken has. He was working some crazy hours and was also going to school full time. So after about 3 months, he couldn't handle it anymore and started looking for a new job. He shortly after got a job at a local gym call Spirit Fitness. Working there was pretty easy and he enjoyed it for the most part. We both got free memberships which was nice. The pay wasn't the best and his boss expected him to do a lot of things, so yet again he went on the hunt for another job. And for the 2nd time, he got a job very shortly after beginning his search. Now I gotta tell ya, I am happy that Ken has been able to find jobs so quickly, but on another note it pisses me off. My experience as Chrysalis has been very bitter sweet. It has its ups and downs, so the whole time I have been employeed there (Which is a few days shy of a year, crazy I know!) I have been looking for a new job. Not very actively looking, but I've been keeping an eye out for anything available. But anyways, enough with my tangent, Ken is currently working at a store call Zagg. He replaces iPhone screens and puts on screen covers and all that fun stuff. He is enjoying it a lot and has a pretty good schedule and will work around his school schedule. He still works at the gym 2 hours on Mondays as a trade employee, so we still get to keep our memberships.
- When we lived in our old apartment I was visiting teaching partner with the manager of our complex, and we also visited one of the girls that had a brother that managed a complex that was owned by the same guy. Kinda confusing... sorry. But anyways, our managers told us the owner was looking for a new manager at a different complex and she told him we were interested. So we started managing 3 buildings at the beginning of April. We manage 2 student buildings and 1 married building. It hasn't been too bad, but it does come with some stress. The students are moving in next week so there is a lot more to come. Along with managing comes free rent, which is super nice. The apartment is bigger than our other one, I will post pictures later.
- The month of May is a pretty busy month for us, my birthday is the 8th, mother's day is shortly after that, Ken's birthday is the 27th and our anniversary is the 30th. We didn't do anything too exciting for any of them. Because Ken's birthday is so close to our anniversary, we just celebrated them both at the same time. We went down the St. George and went to Texas Roadhouse, our favorite place.
Today, I had the realization that we have lived in Cedar for just over a year! It's crazy to think how fast time flies. I feel like just yesterday we moved here. Living down here has been such a great experience. We are so close to so many great places to visit. A lot of times at work we go on all day trips to places like Zions, Bryce Canyon, Brian Head, Duck Creek, and other places around Cedar.

Laigh Hill Lake
It's this man made lake that is right above the place I work, I had seriously lived in Cedar for probably 8 months before I figure out about this lake! A great place to swim, they have kayak's and paddle boards for rent. The fish here are also pretty crazy, you won't catch anything unless you are using worms. When you are fishing from the bank you can literally see them swim past your hook and they'll look at it and swim right past it.
