So consistent blogging is obviously not a strength of mine. I just downloaded this new blogger app for my iPhone so I can attempt to update my blog more frequently.

Having said that about a month ago I was talking with a friend whom I hadn't seen for some time and she said, "You need to update your blog more often!" I promised her I would and yet here I am weeks later finally taking the time to do it. I'm horrible! But nifty gadgets on my phone may be the cure...we'll see.

If I haven't seen you in the last two years, read this: I graduated from Western Illinois University with my master's degree in Sport Psychology in May 2009. It was awesome! I guess in my last blog post I wrote about not finding a job in my field. So, thank goodness for a Quiznos opportunity. I worked at my dad's stores in North Salt Lake and Kaysville for a year. I managed the Kaysville store for 6 months or so. I started applying for wilderness therapy jobs in April. I told my dad that he should start looking for a more permanent manager for the store so if I got a job he would have someone to take over. Then I got a call from a program in Huntington, Utah that wanted me to interview with them.

The phone interview went well so they invited me to go on a five day backpacking training. It didn't guarantee that I would have the job, but it was a way to see if the job and program were a good fit for me. So the first week of June I went on this training excursion. It was neat! We learned some cool skills (like how to make a fire with a bow drill set that we made ourselves) and I learned a lot about how the program worked. In the end they offered me the job and I didn't feel right about it. I told them I would be unable to accept the position.

In the meantime my dad had hired a new manager at Quiznos. I started working at the North Salt Lake store and have been there ever since.

I applied for teaching jobs all over and I interviewed a few times for jobs in the area, but nothing worked out.

That is my story. And here I am.

I'm going to be better at updating my blog on a regular basis.
