September 11, 2011 - 190 Days Old

I haven't posted for a while. I have been pretty busy over the past couple of weeks. I started a new job and I started school, so I don't have a lot of extra time.

Aiden is doing well. He picked up a cold from his generous older brother and it has been a rough couple of weeks with some pretty scary moments. With the lung problems he has, a cold could be fatal, so we were pretty nervous. Fortunately, he seems to be mostly over it now. He is finally sleeping better, and that makes us all happier. Amaraa still has to spend most of every day by his bedside, which I'm sure isn't easy for her. Aiden has been home for more than a month. He's six months old now.

As I mentioned above, I started a new full-time job. It started as an entry-level customer service position at Crexendo Business Solutions, but after being there for four days, I was promoted to Account Manager. I found the job listing on Monster.com and applied from there. When I went in for the interview, I found out that the interviewer was a girl from my ward! Anyway, my job is to work with business owners to create and optimize their business websites so they show up on the first page of Google searches. I have loved it so far. The account manager position is very similar to what I did as a consultant with insurance agents -- helping them to establish a web presence and utilizing Web 2.0 to increase business and traffic for them. I have been in training for the past couple of weeks. Training is now over and I will begin working with clients this week.

I also started school again. I am taking two online courses and two evening classes on campus. My teachers seem to be good although the classes themselves are not my idea of a good time. Skylar started school, too. Last year, we sent him to a charter school in American Fork, but this year we decided to send him to an elementary school a block and a half from our home. We have heard good things about the school and it will be much more convenient for us. He loves his teacher and is doing well in his new environment. He loves being able to ride his bike to and from school with his friends from our neighborhood. Jasmine really misses having him at home during the day. I think Amaraa misses having him home to help with Jazzy, too.

Well, I'll try to be more consistent with writing. Hopefully as I get into the groove of the new job and school, I will be able to find the time to write more.
