Keeping you posted. =)

As most of you know I will be graduating this April. I'll have a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Illustration and a cluster in Graphic Design and Culinary Arts. I have no current plans for a job as an Illustrator quite yet (that's another blog I should write about all my feelings as my education as an artist) but I got a job as a full time receptionist at the office here in Rexburg for Salt Lake Express.

I'm not particularly excited about this job but with jobs so hard to find in Rexburg I am very grateful that I was able to line up a full time job to pay the bills when I graduate while Taron goes to School. I was really nervous about finding a job that would pay enough for me to pay for rent. I was actually expecting to have to find two part time jobs since readily available full time jobs are almost non-existant here. This job will also have stability unlike a lot of jobs around here as well. If you do a good job they want you to stick around for years and years and years if they can help it since it takes so much effort and money to train and get employees in the groove of things with a good working relationship with the other receptionist and the bus drivers. I also hear they give good raises if you work hard to try and persuade you to stay around. So I know that as long as I work hard I will have a full time job until Taron graduates and a job that will not go out of business. So I guess what I've been trying to say is Boring job=stability and rent until Taron graduates. Oh and I also get done at three every day so that gives me plenty of time to keep working on my art and try to build up a good portfolio and maybe even get some odd jobs here and there.

So that's what I'll be doing for the next couple of years. Taron will be quitting his current full time job at Prosper and will be starting school back up this spring semester in April and working part time at the ropes course here on campus. I'm excited for him to get out of the office and start working outside at the ropes course where he loves to be. Taron is planning on switching to the fast track program so he can keep going to school while I work and hopefully graduate in 3 or 4 semesters plus an internship. After that its all up in the air, we will go where the jobs take us.
