Busy, Busy Life

I hope everyone has had an awesome start to the new year!  I have, sort of.  This past week I've been working a lot.  I'm not a huge fan of working with the general public.  I recently learned that this is largely my own fault.  Rather than people offending us, we allow ourselves to get offended.  Let's just say that I get offended A LOT.  Especially by clients that walk into the bank.  It's definitely something to work on! 
The plus side of so much working is that my last paycheck was pretty darn awesome.  Which is a very good thing for me.  I recently took out a loan so I could go to school this next semester, and if there's one thing I've learned in life lately, it's to NEVER TAKE OUT LOANS.  It's been controlling me.  You know that church talk that talks about how you become a slave to your debt?  Totally know what it's talking about now.  I am constantly stressing about how I am going to pay for everything.  Lesson learned.
So for Christmas Cord got me a really nice day-spa retreat at a place called The Kura Door.  It's in the Avenues in Salt Lake, and let me put it this way; if you ever have 200 extra dollars you don't know what to do with, GO HERE.  It was incredible.  I have been feeling very stressed out lately about a lot of things, and this was exactly what I needed.  It was one of those experiences where you feel like you've been there for days or months, rather than a few hours.  It was so nice to meditate and relax.  I swear it should be a law that everyone has to do that at least once a month.  It might fix the mean-people-at-the-bank problem too.... Ha ha.
And then the day after that I took the day off so Cord could finally take me snowboarding.  It's one of his favorite things to do, so he wanted to share it with me.  I had more fun than I thought I would.  It was pretty much my first time, and my first run down the mountain all I did was slide down on my butt.  Seriously.  But the last few runs, I could do it!  Kind of.  Learning new things is fun :)  The only downside is how sore it made me...
So yeah, all in all it was a good week.  I start school tomorrow and I'm telling everyone everywhere that it will be my number one priority.  It is coming before everyone.  Except for maybe God.
