Working Hard for Our Money

A while ago I mentioned that I was working and was asked about my job. So I thought I'd do a general update on the four of us.
  • DAN: He's busy working for Biomat USA. He is the facility manager for the center here. Since taking the position in January of this year he has had four audits! Thankfully they've done well with all four. He still has the theater itch and I suspect we'll be doing something again, however, he'll have to figure out how to work fewer hours so he can get involved with something like that again.
  • JANAE: I work part-time at Knowledge Points. To get better involved with the community and make others more aware of Knowledge Points I was asked to help team teach an 8th grade class as part of the Junior Achievement program. (Oh, that reminds me I'd better get reading my lesson for tomorrow.) As if that isn't enough I also spend a few hours each week volunteering at Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery. I'm enjoying what I am doing and with my various activities I still have time to myself to do things I enjoy.
  • AMANDA: She is one busy woman! Amanda is working as the Morgan County Extension Agent for Utah State University's Extension office in Morgan, Utah. She is involved with the 4-H program and teaching Family and Consumer Science classes. Additionally she is over the County Fair. When not swamped with fair season she is traveling to various locations (i.e. Maine, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii) to attend and/or present at conferences related to her field and degree.
  • Sid: He is faithfully serving his two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the South Dakota Rapid City Mission. January will be his year mark! He is loving the work and the people (but I think he can do without the piles of snow and frigid temperatures). We anxiously await each Monday's email, love seeing the pictures he occasionally send home, and can't wait to visit with him on the phone sometime on Christmas Day!
Well, that's a brief update but it gives you a glimpse into our day-to-day lives.
