Update

Boy am I good at keeping up to date with this blog.  I've done better on my other "personal blog" but this one has suffered quite a bit.  To bring anyone reading up to speed, I work at CVS Pharmacy and absolutely love it.  Not only is it a lot better than Sears in the aspect of customer service, but i get better pay, its more fun, the managers are great, and its nearby!  Not to mention that I'm also getting a bunch more hours on a consistent basis.  This coming week, I had 29 hours scheduled, but then by a change of attitude by a co-worker who decided she didn't want to work one of her shifts, I am now working 34.5 (and getting a + on the managers side).  Yes it took away my Monday night and the one day off, but who cares!- I mean its another $40+ into the mission fund.

Mission:  Yes, I had planned to be gone by now but I've still got a few loose ends to tie up so the new goal is to have the papers in/leaving by January '10.  As to my funds, if I can maintain a $250 paycheck each week, I'll make $1,000 per month meaning I'll make about $4,000 by the end of the year (approximately) and I'm at $5,200 in my fund right now so I'll be just shy or right on.  So here's my thought process with work hours.  More hours--> more pay--> mission fund surplus--> money in the bank when I get home from my mission.

School: I am out of school right now saving up for my mission.  It's also allowing more personal time to do things that I wouldn't have the chance to do otherwise- mainly work, but i'm also in training for a triathlon this October.  Plus, my last semester at school just through into a world of hurt and depression so I figured I could use a break from that while I prepare for my mission.

Other than that, not much to report on other than the calling that i got in the Del Sur ward and a bit of news there.  But that's on my next post.
