Mike and Jess

Mike and I haven’t gotten around to uploading photos like my last post mentioned, but we’ll get to that eventually.

Life has been busier lately for me. It took me quite a while to find a job here, but as of a few weeks ago I have not one but two jobs! I applied at a few Starbucks stores and got hired at a store only a couple miles from our apartment. I wanted to work at Starbucks so that when Mike and I go back to school, we can still get health benefits — and at Starbucks you only have to work 20 or more hours a week to get benefits! I also accepted a job at a tutoring company, and do group tutoring at the location Monday thru Wednesday. Last week I finished my training at Starbucks, and I have had some early morning shifts — we open at 530 so we have to get there at 430 when we have an opening shift. It’s weird to work that early and I hope I get used to it, but I’ll always look forward to working later in the day. Our store closes earlier than some, so we get out at 10pm, which is not bad at all.

Mike is still working from home — he misses seeing his coworkers at the office, but it’s going pretty well for him. In our spare time we have gone to the American River a few times and walked around, and gone to the movies once or twice. I have been gardening in our patio and saw my first few morning glories last week from the seeds I planted, which was very exciting for me! This Wednesday is my birthday, and being excited about finally having work, I forgot to request the day off. I’ll be opening at Starbucks and then tutoring in the afternoon, and if I have any energy after that we will be going out to dinner. Happy working birthday to me

Hope you all are well.
