Proud Wife

My husband has been working for Qt for five years and since January he has been a manager. He started out in a Qt out on Power Rd way far south and then this month his supervisors told him that he was getting one of the new Qts on Val Vista. I am so proud of all the things my husband accomplishes and I know anything he sets his mind to he can do it. I can't believe how fast he moved stores I knew he would do it soon but it surprised me how soon he moved. He was only in the other store for about four to five months. GOod JOB BABY! Timothy and I are so lucky to have you. Love,

Promotion

Even though this happened in the end of November/beginning of December I need to make sure I document how proud and how excited I am for Chris getting promoted to a store manager. He is currentyl an Assistant Manager (or 1A) as they would say. Basically he is right underneath the manager and he does a great job of taking care of his responsibilities.
The reason we are so excited for Chris is that he deserves this more than anyone I know. Let me explain.

He always goes out of his way to help others when he doesnt have to.
He loves going to work and loves to talk about how great QT is.
He is an amazing leader.
Is always on time.
We always get gas at QT (hahaha )
He has been Assistant Manage for about 3 years now and I dont know anyone who wants to be promoted as much as Chris did. He is tooo cute!!!
He looks good in a QT uniform of course!


I have to post about how his manager told me about his getting promoted. Last month we had some more truck problems (Oh joy!) and I drove him to work. It was the week before Thanksgiving and my husbands manager told me to stick around for the good news he was about to tell Chris. So I did I stood there for about ten minutes and then he pulled Chris and I off to the side to tell him he had an interview lined up for the week after Thanksgiving. December 1st is the exact date. :) It was so cute to watch how happy this made Chris. He had a huge smile and his eyes lit up. It gave Chris the perfect amount of time to prepare for his interview. He had a panel interview with a couple of supervisors (two of them he's personally had before). He had to practice a list of questions and make sure he hit some important points. I helped him by practicing with me and giving him my input.
Finally, the big day finally came and I had to make sure he had his pants super ironed as well as his qt shirt. I made sure he had a good breakfast and words of encouragement so that he would feel good about himself. He left very early and I told him to make sure and let me know how it went. His interview went much faster than I thought so we were able to meet up for lunch.
He told me he thought he did good and I could tell he did by what he told me. Later that day he got the good news that he is going to be promoted to manager. I knew he would get it and I am very happy for our little family. Just when we needed it and are about to have our first child it's all falling into place. I knew it would. I had to keep telling Chris it'll happen when the time is right just be patient. I'm so glad those words actually came true because sometimes you just don't know how long somethings might take.
Now we're just playing the waiting game. We have to wait for an opening in another Qt for him to be the manager. We're hoping it'll happen within the next month or two so we can start seeing that raise.
That's our big exciting news as of lately and although a lot has happened this month and last I've been too lazy to blog. I am going to try and play the catch up game before more exciting things happen.

LABOR DAY OFF!

Labor day was a blast for me.

Why?

I caught up on my sleep and I got to stay home half the day. That hasn't happened for a month.

:)

I got to read lots and lots of pages in my pregnancy book and I love it. My bestttest best friend Candice let me borrow the book "What to expect when youre expecting" and I am learning tons. I am learning that there's so many rules to pregnancy. TOO MANY IF you ask me. I cant have medicine, lots of foods I like-TUNA, and I cant be as active as I once was. Ill still try to be active but defidently not pushing myself to any point of fatigue. There are so many rules, that Ive never heard of.

I finally finished some business cards for a client I have so that I could help her with her business. They turned out GREAT and she loved them. Finally all those photoshop and tons of photography classes are paying off. She payed me and I ordered them so she'll get them in about a week. Im excited to see what they look like in person.

Then I went to Target. I searched around the clothes and tried some on. I found some cute things but I didnt want to spend any money because I need to save and not spend. But once I make some more business on the side I will buy myself a cutedress for church that I can wear throughtout the pregnancy. I bought a couple nic-nacs but nothing special.

Once I got home my baby was home and I had to finish translating a paper for a friend. Thats right Ill occassionally do that on the side as well. SO let me know when you need me. As soon as I finished we went to my parents and to Chris parents for dinner. I had menudo at my family's and chris ate hamburgers/hot dogs at his. I still ate some watermelon dont worry.
I felt bad but nothing at my inlaws looked good. Like I've been telling you my appetitte has been very lazy and its hard for me to find something I want to eat. So I ate what i could. We stayed for a few hours and talked. I was playing with my cute niece ZOlie, she is sooooo adorable!! She just loves to play with my phone and play with me. I would lay down on the couch and she'd follow me. She cracks me up.

That was our Labor day, not too exciting but perfect. I had a good day and I still accomplished much although I got the rest i deserved.

I am thankful for the work we have and am also grateful for school. I am very excited to graduate either in dec or may.. dont know yet but I will.

Hope everyone had a good week and day off.

I love being busy but..

I miss my husband. I am very close to him and I love to spend as much time with him as I can but since I have work and school its been hard to go without seeing each other almost for an entire day. The only thing keeping me sane is the weekends and getting to see my baby at night.
We are in an urget need for a date and we are finally going on one this Saturday!! Wooo hooo. We figure we'll do the traditional dinner&movie. I like going out with my baby and spending lots and lots of quality time. My favorite thing is when he opens doors for me and treats me like a lady. It's the most amazing and special feeling in the world.

I have never been so excited to have a break like this Monday!! I don't even know what Im going to do. I don't know if I want to stay home and just relax or go to gym and visit some friends and family. I am still undecided. I guess I should probably just wait until this weekend to figure all that out.
Dont holidays make you get so excited just because they dont make you go to school? Well this is just what I need. I am used to going to work and school from nine to seven at night. I hope all of you have an amazing weekend because mine will be awesome.

Love ,

Chris the builder

This is the evidence i've gathered of my husband working so hard. Doesn't he look like such a cute construction worker. Well he truly is. I love how cute he looks. Lately i've been telling him, "I love it when your face gets sunburned because they get rosey red." Its too cute !
HE seriously does it all, he fixes everything and works so hard for our families. He's amazing in every way and I'm so thankful for his sweetness. GOod job CHRIS! I'll post the finishing look on the shed in a couple days.
